In this video, I take you through the exciting process of upgrading my 2019 BMW 330i. I’ve recently installed a turbo upgrade and I’m gearing up to tune it, which led me to explore the world of port injection for my direct-injected car.
Ever wondered why BMW reintroduced port injection in their 2023 models alongside their direct injection? I’ll answer that question in this video while discussing how I plan to optimize port injection using the controller we’re implementing.
Join me as I walk you through the installation of an essential port plate that fits snugly between the intake, manifold, and the engine. I’ll also guide you through setting up a controller that communicates with the DME, enabling port injection for supplemental fueling, and making it possible to run on full E85 ethanol fuel.

Ever wondered why BMW reintroduced port injection in their 2023 models alongside their direct injection? I’ll answer that question in this video while discussing how I plan to optimize port injection using the controller we’re implementing.
Discover the benefits of port injection, especially at low RPMs and during low throttle conditions. Learn how it enhances atomization and potential cooling, and how it complements the 5000 psi direct injection fuel systems introduced by BMW.
I’ll also share my insights into why I chose this approach over sticking with direct injection only, the cost considerations, and how this setup allows us to achieve around 500 crank horsepower while keeping costs under $5000.
The Motive Reflex Plus controller takes center stage in this video, offering full integration with ECUtek via the powertrain can bus. We’re simplifying the process by using a basic software file to make the Motive controller obedient to the DME, ensuring seamless communication.
Watch as I explain how the Motive controller constantly monitors and optimizes port injection under various conditions, maintaining control even at high RPMs with ethanol fuel. Discover how this setup can provide efficiency benefits, even when running on 91 octane.
Join me on this journey of installing port injection and the Motive Reflex Plus to maximize my BMW 330i’s potential. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or simply curious about automotive upgrades, this video has something for you.

Imagine a gen 3 b48 in the new gr86 would be a great combination imo
Any chance we would see a billet valve cover and billet intake manifold?
U should do a port meth with torq byte CM 5 instal
How do you unlock the speed governor in these cars?
what can i do with my 2021 m235i b48e im trying to hit max without breaking things
you really going all out
Having the dual style injection isnt new as toyota uses it in the Tundras. With the DI motor i think its brilliant. Since DI motors are prone to carbon build up on the intake valves having the secondary injector will alleviate these issues. Now some companies use a sodium filled intake valve like on the Kia Stingers. I say all DI motors should have this option. Thank you for sharing this build with us. This is some of the best BMW automotive content out there. Very clear and precise information. You are appreciated brother!!!
How high could you theoretically increase the b48 redline? Would be nuts to see it redlining at 8500
Thanks for the great info on combining PI and DI. It's cool to see how you’re integrating this to help with overcoming E85 fueling limits and its OEM application for the Gen 3 B58. What are your thoughts about using the Spool FX 350 HPFP and IFX350 injectors to get the most out of the IM450 on the B48 with E85. It seems more expensive but maybe easier to set up. What do you think about this approach? Looking forward to your thoughts!
Congratulations on 100k subs!!
so you think port with a reflex lite on bm3 wouldn't be as safe as a port injection with reflex plus on racebox? (for full e85)
Interesting, considering Toyota's D4S system used port injection alongside direct injection. Port injection is typically best suited for high-rpm applications and for keeping the valves clean. Perhaps that was a consideration for BMW, after a decade and a half of DI turbocharged production.
that is a badass engine to begin with! thanks for all n54 stuff you did. mine hauls ass.
Wait, how did overdriving the N54 HPFP work out for you long term? Im trying ti decide between port injection and overdriving the HPFP 5:21
