Anyone fitted JB+ to 330i B48?
I am thinking of buying a JB+ for the B48/58. Just wondering if anyone has fitted one and if you think it was worth the money. Cheapest I have seen it is £189 from ML Performance, anyone know of anywhere cheaper or of a forum discount code. I did email Burger Motorsport for a dyno chart for the 330i but they never came back to me so I guess they haven't got one

Would be interested to hear about this. Is the 330i essentially not just a remapped 320i? I’d be worried about putting excessive stress on the drivetrain, particularly with a manual box.

Almost, it is basically the same engine as the 320i but with some differences. I believe the 320i has different pistons with higher compression ratio than the 330i, so the 330i is almost certainly running higher boost than the 320i. A JB+ will add another 4psi boost so will hopefully provide more power/torque without affecting driveability.

The 330 is the B48. The 320 has more in common with the 328 N20 but has a different exhaust and tune. The JB+ and JB4 for the B58 may work with the B48. I know at least the latter is true.

The jb plus seems to fit both b48 and b58 engines. Seems it just increases boost.
I asked bluesparks about their boxes today and they seem to produce big figures but are only 2 channel. they said they constantly update their code where as dtuk don't for example. I did dismiss them a while ago but seem to be OK. I like the jb plus as it's easily transferable to any flavour b58 engine as it's just wacking up the boost ( at a basic level!) https://www.mlperformance.co.uk/coll...340i-430i-440i |

I’ll give it a few days, do some 0-100 sprints and report back, fingers crossed! Last edited by Ikester19; 05-25-2018 at 09:09 PM.. |

When they did the LCI the 320i got the B48 engine too, that's why I bought one. |

no erratic gear changes or change to low speed driveability as some have reported. Definitely recommend for a cheap hit of additional horsepower, till you get used to it and the search for the next mod takes over the mind which always happens. |
