The BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid sports car which operates both a petrol turbo engine and a hybrid synchronous motor. The combustion engine is a 1499cc 3 cylinder petrol turbo unit which is capable of being tuned like any other BMW petrol turbo engine. The electric motor delivers 96KW which is equivalent to 129bhp and 184lbft, and the combustion engine 228bhp and 236lbft, giving the i8 a total power output of 357bhp and 420lbft. Our performance tuning does not affect the electric motor or battery pack in anyway, we are only tuning the petrol engine, and as such the range and operation of the electric motor remains the same as stock.

couple days ago a guy came to me with this car & he wanted to raise the bhp, at first he hesitated and was not sure if it safe then I told him that we work with CELTIC TUNING and those guys know how to remap car and he will get the best tuning...

Excellent job done with the car it ran a higher figure than stock figure quoted on its first run but increased to an amazing 408bhp I need to GPS verify the 0-60 time from launch but it should be around 3.6 seconds based on similar vehicles which is great.

Also increased my mpg figures by at least 10% Excellent professional service highly recommended

AUTOMATIC

HAVE AN AUTOMATIC?

Alongside the engine control unit (ECU) we are also able to provide transmission control unit (TCU) software to help further enhance your vehicle. There is a lot of limitation built into modern gearbox software to help hold back the power gains you are trying to achieve from your engine, our gearbox software overcomes this and helps transform the way the car drives. Some of the modifications include raising maximum torque limiters, faster gear shift speeds, increased clamping pressures to prevent clutch wear, increased engine RPM limiters and much more…
