BMW E92 335d — tuning with a universal front-mount intercooler
A BMW E92 335d with an owner-installed universal intercooler was dyno tested; further power was limited by the fuel system.
The owner of this 2007 BMW E92 335d with two turbochargers had fitted a universal front-mounted intercooler. It was not a kit designed specifically for this model, so the pipes and mounting points had to be adapted. Before calibration, the car already had another engine map, which produced approximately 320 hp and 700 Nm on the dyno.
AutoChip revised the software and carried out several dynamometer runs. The video gives different results: one run reached around 340 hp and 750 Nm, while the final run was reported at 314 hp and 750 Nm. The 340 hp figure should therefore not be treated as the sole or final confirmed result. The standard fuel system could not supply a higher requested amount of fuel, limiting further power increases.
The intake-air temperature reading during testing was around 34°C. The DPF had already been removed before this visit, and the video also mentions revising the EGR control software. After that work, the previously unstable idle associated with throttle operation stopped.
