2012 BMW 528i - Inline 4 turbo

notable:
cliffs: faster and 15% better gas mileage.
wastegate actuator appears to be larger than compressor:
notable:
That technology allows BMW to extract 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter gas-burning engine. BMW says the turbo'd four hits its horsepower peak at 5,000 rpm and reaches peak torque at a remarkably low 1,250 rpm.

I've always been pro big turbo and still stand by my beliefs. One of the few on here that have always told people to go big/bigger.
But effortless low rpm torque/acceleration feels fantastic in a daily driver. Key being "daily driver". My current daily drier fxt is in the meaty chunk of its torque curve by 2500-3500 and I'm loving every minute of it. Quiet, effortless, drama free pushes you back in the seat. Feels good man.
Otherwise its useless I agree.

I know, but even my DD (09 mazda2), doing 30 MPH in 5th is over 1200 rpm. When am I ever gonna be down that low in the rev range that I need all my torques? I have the habit of not lugging the engine below 2k-ish. Don't get me wrong, I think they've built a decent motor, but I'd be far more happier with a load of torque between 2.5-4k.

I bet the spark table looks funky.
That not much output for such a heavy car though. I suppose they're expecting the electric motors to move the car rather than the engine. It almost brings a tear to my eye though, we're watching the death of the internal combustion engine as we know it.

18psi did you mod your fxt? I enjoy my fxt low end grunt. 2.5L has something to do with it too. The engine sounds absolutely horrible above 6000rpm though. Sounds like its going to die and power is so feeble.

This is BONE STOCK with a re-tune focusing on low end. (map untouched past 5k)
this weekend the downpipe and 3"to2.5" adaptor are going in and with a retune it will have a healthy 270wtq and 215whp.
Then exhaust and retune which should net 280wtq and 240whp.
After that I have:
APS ss45 20g
turboxs tmic
gimmick inlet
ID1000 injectors
gs 3port
and a few other things going on and should end up with 330-350whp and 350-400wtq @ 20-22psi on e85.

Its a tuned map. Not just spiked boost settings, that's the kinda dumb **** that will make you blow the (already very fragile) subaru ringlands.
Fuel untouched
boost smoothed and up 1psi peak
timing maps redone
avcs maps redone
cl/ol delays zerod
throttle input sharpened
The car is COMPLETELY different now. The difference is amazing, I'm serious. All this while BONE STOCK and running SAFER than stock (again, not kidding).
no built in wideband. That's a myth

Here's what a good tuner does on the same setup with e85:
