Steffen Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I got a cheap e46 330d Touring this summer with a 204hp engine. The car turned out to be in good shape, though, with a few areas that have teased me a little. The idea was really that I would put it up sale when I got it in perfect condition, but just could not really make me sell it ;-) Now I've got some great Stuff for the engine, I'd always liked to have a 330d that I could work on and experiment without it being used as a daily car. It became this car;-) Today, the last of my Christmas gift came to me and the car. New 535d nozzles, downpipe, new cast iron manifold and on top from Gottuned.com a special built hybrid turbo :-) Turbo Specifications: - reinforced journal bearings - so called '360' - CNC modification of turbine housing - CNC modification of compressor housing - Bigger KTS Turbo Billet X 65mm 6 + 6 blades - Genuine Garrett larger turbine wheel GT23 from Mercedes AMG - Genuine Garrett Housings and Exhaust manifold - Dynamically Balanced - Precise VNT adjustment - CHRA is built using brand new parts It will be an exciting project! More to come ;-) Edited December 9, 2018 by Steffen The_Judge_, momo, TriggerFish and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injectors fits? The ecu runs them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen Posted January 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Yes they fit, but you need to remap the ecu for them to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E46 320dt Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 This is something you can do by yourself? Or have to have the tunner do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 You need a tuner to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E46 320dt Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I cant do it with inpa program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen Posted July 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Finally I had some time to do a little on my project again. I have had the manifold made so it can measure EGT and closed the EGR. Have also made the turbo and downpipe ready for installation. Hopefully I will soon have time to get started installing it 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Got some work done the last few days. 6 new 535d injectors got in the engine. The manifold is in as well as the new turbo with downpipe. New i only need to do some small thing like mount sensors on the system and some service on the car. Then it can go and get testet before the remap. Cant wait... :-) momo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Finally the car was done and it all works! It has now been remaped to work with a manual transmission and not kill it in a short time 😉 But there is much more to get form the engine, nozzles and turbo are at a maximum of 70%. But the engine is getting hot, so I must look at a larger intercooler and an upgrade of the cooling system. Do any of you have any experience with it? momo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tum.turbo Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hello I have in my BMW intercooler kit from FMIC.PL It is more performance than the original. If you have a question about parts ask guy from the shop, they are quite helpful https://fmic.pl/intercooler/490-6536-intercooler-bmw-e46-diesel-tuning.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_o Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Nice work and nice results! Are you still driving the car, and how does it work? I'm just about to purchase an '03 330CD manual and considering some options for it like re-mapping and LSD-ing it.

Has your fuel consumption changed and if so what has your consumption changed to with the current turbo setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
