Can you tune a hybrid car with an electric motor? You sure can!
VR Tuned shows just how much more you can get out of the this BMW I8 with a 1.5L turbocharged engine combined with the electric motors. Like all BMW F-Series cars, the I8 can be flashed via the diagnostic port and does not require the ECU to be removed for unlocking and patching. This means you can easily flash between your tuned and stock files at anytime. You can also read and clear trouble codes. VR Tuned uses the Frieling Racing system to flash cars.
Watch to see how much power this BMW I8 made on our Mustang Dyno and even see our rolling 1/4 mile test.

How do you calculate in this case the drivetrain loss? I’m asking because in release the car should start to recover energy from the electric motors

@vivid_racing 3 года назад

We are doing 3rd or 4th gear full throttle pulls. So there is no decel or regen going on.

@texasgogetter04 2 года назад

can the turbo be upgraded in these

@Timtimzi 4 года назад

I always thought you needed to mod your engine, intake, and exhaust if you're ever tuning something. Do flashes actually work? So you got like a 30hp increase from this?

@vivid_racing 4 года назад

Tuning will always make the biggest performance increase especially on turbocharged cars. Basic bolt ones like an intake and exhaust should not require a custom tune.

@devdinero8686 4 года назад

Would this product combined with an upgraded Exhaust offer more gains?

@vivid_racing 4 года назад

For the limited exhausts on the market, yes it would only if it included the downpipe from the turbo.

@project2ndgenspeed672 3 года назад

What is the max HP you have put through the stock transmission? Is there a HP/TQ limit for that trans?

@vivid_racing 3 года назад

Not sure how much the transmission can handle but you would need to do some serious upgrades to make enough power to damage the transmission.

@project2ndgenspeed672 3 года назад

@@vivid_racing very cool. I plan on using that trans in my 6 for AWD and more power(from a CX-7). Should be a lot of fun.

@imSchwaggy 2 года назад

for such a cool car it makes me sad how lazy bmw was with the powerplant. they could have definitely used some stronger electric motors and used the 2l 4cyl. ATLEAST.

@alanhillyard1639 2 года назад

What makes you think they were lazy? They chose it for a variety of reasons, size and weight being just some of them. You’d have to make an already very wide car wider by 100mm or so to add just one more cylinder. Plus the weight addition. I don’t see why an i4 would be any better, people like you that don’t get it would just say should have put an i5 in. AT LEAST. No.

@LegendaryTru 25 дней назад

We unfortunately don't do installs, but we do have detailed instructions that can guide you through the ECU flash process. And if you need a little guidance along the way, our performance specialists are happy to help!

@erica8165 4 года назад

You have a lower drivetrain loss because the electric motor doesn't have much loss to it than if it was a mechanical 4wd.

Is it possible to swap a v6 into it

@malteseninja1047 5 лет назад

Engine swapping the i8 is possible. But it's pretty complicated since it's a hybrid. If it wasn't a hybrid, there wouldn't be a problem.

@Bc._Media 4 года назад

Malti Psikotiku id go with the Ford Fiesta St motor with 450 hp and upgrade the electric motors orrrr just go full electric aka tesla swap😈

@Jmort93 3 года назад

Anything is possible when it comes to swaps. Look up v10 E30 swap or LS beetle swap, everything can be done. But it would depend on how much money the owner/shop would want to put into it.

@alanhillyard1639 2 года назад

Bear in mind it’s a carbon fibre chassis. So quite a bit more difficult to cut and shut the chassis to fit a different engine
