Does the Charge Pipe Kit for BMW 330i also fit xDrive models?

Yes. HPS lists xDrive versions alongside the rear-drive cars for the 330i, 330e and 430i, the 2023-2025 230i and the 2023-2024 430i Gran Coupe. The 2019 330i Gran Turismo appears in xDrive form only, and the 2022 230i appears in rear-drive form only.

Is a tune required after installation?

No. HPS states that the Charge Pipe Kit for BMW 330i, 330e, 230i and 430i models needs no re-tune and no modification. HPS quotes gains of 8.3 whp and 9 lb-ft of torque at 4800 rpm, though the stronger reason to fit it is replacing a plastic part that HPS says cracks or splits.

What does the billet adapter do?

HPS supplies a billet aluminum quick connect adapter on the pipe to make installation easier, and states that no modification is required. The pipe also carries a 1/8-inch NPT bung, which HPS provides as a convenient port for additional accessories such as a boost gauge sensor.

Does the 330e plug-in hybrid use the same pipe?

Yes. HPS lists the 2021-2024 BMW 330e with the B46 engine, in rear-drive and xDrive form, under the same part number 17-158 as the 330i. HPS quotes the same gains on the 330e page as on the others and does not say which car it tested.

What comes in the kit?

The kit contains the HPS 3-inch aluminum charge pipe, a high temperature 3-ply reinforced silicone hump coupler, 100% stainless steel hose clamps and digital installation instructions. HPS designs it as a direct replacement for the stock piping and states that no modification is required.

Description

HPS Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for BMW 330i, 330e, 230i and 430i 2.0L Turbo

HPS’s Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for BMW 330i, 330e, 230i and 430i 2.0L Turbo models replaces the stock plastic charge pipe (OEM 13718601683) with 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum, a 3-ply silicone hump coupler and a billet quick connect adapter. HPS says the factory pipe tends to crack or split at its connections, and one part number covers B46 and B48 cars across the G20, G42, G22, G23 and G26 ranges. It suits an owner who wants the plastic gone before it fails.

Design and Performance

HPS quotes 8.3 whp and 9 lb-ft at 4800 rpm, a small gain that should not be the reason to buy. The case for this pipe is durability: bead-rolled aluminum in place of plastic that HPS says splits at its joints. On a car headed for a tune, it removes one weak point first.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
