Tuning a 116

jay_a_a · 08-17-2012, 05:36 AM

I am about to take delivery of my 116i f20 and am interested in getting the power increased. I have been told they can be tuned to similar output as the 118 relatively easily by flashing the ECU.
Can any body tell me whats involved and what I should expect to pay. Also any recommendation in VIC
Thanks

I take it it's the f20 1ers? Being such a new car , the cost would probably be a probable issue unless it's an easy to tune car.. $800-$1000 or so.. Being a turbocharged engine you'd theoretically be able to get it a fair bit more powerful than the 118i though, so a worthy mod indeed

Ed: quick google only showed one thing.. Some reason the 116i only gets to 120kw and the 118 gets to 150, theres no intake/turbo/exhaust differences i'd think? Must be just marketing maybe.. If you could get it to 200hp, it'd be a rather fun car really
