I had my appointment with Mo at DME but cancelled it just because i didnt see TOO much of a benefit to drop 1800. But if I do these turbos AND get the full ECU tune I may be in luck. I just dont want to break anything in the process

I agree with you now, btw you didn't reach out to Enzo or RKTunes? I know ARC550 had EnzoTuned on his 550 or you could wait for proTUNING Freaks Bootmod3 to release their N63Tu .

Many have said to stay away from Enzo, and I have not heard too much about the n63tu tunes for rktunes so I kind of dont want to be the guinea pig. Mo is tuning all the fastest m5's so I know its a different platform but he has to be doing something right

Many have said to stay away from everybody; nobody is going to be 100% pleased ever. Plenty of M's tuned by Enzo, a few from RKtunes. DME is called "Slave" because they don't tune, they copy & paste as they're "Slave" tuner of BR-Performance. EndBosS

Long story short, $1800 is steep without seeing a single N63Tu tuned by them.

you can change the settings on the TU JB4, you have to open the tuner and adjust it.

I had the TU and I was able to stack JB4 with tune. The only way to change boost was to open the little boxes and increase dial.

Also, the transmission will hold as its comparable to X5M... the Transfer case will Not. I broke my transfer case on dyno lol

Stock Turbo PSI

Hello there bud,

Now that we have 3.5 BAR sensors, the sky is the limit. Stock Turbos will go as far as you consider safe. 3.5 BAR is approximately 30 PSI at 5 volt scalar.
You loose little linearity but close enough. Just have to consider Octane,fuel delivery, pre-ignition/timing, AFR ect. Tuning is key and fortunately for us JB4 MAP6 may have an answer.....Exciting stuff.

So what would be a fix for this? Or just stay at the power were at for drive cars lol? I don't want to drop the money for the turbos and a tune if I already know the transfer case is gonna go in no time. Any way to unhook the AWD shaft and make it RWD without changing anything?

Anything you didn't like about the Enzo tune? Did they throw the car on the dyno and tune it, or was just a generic flash like the DME tune? I wonder if they can tune for the new 3.5bar sensors

Tune

Just go with JB4......Multiple safe options based on driving habits and desires.
It is 3.5 BAR TMAP sensor setup ready. I pulled 562 WHP with wheel slippage and 2.5 BAR sensors. The other dude is correct, everyone is cutting and pasting calling themselves tuners. Whatever floats your boat,at $799 you cannot go wrong and not have to break anything.

phil7027 with the new Bootmod3, Enzo can tune you remotely too or whoever is a Bm3 Tuner/Dealer since they go by the logs just like Terry does it with JB4 logs. Logs say more than a Dyno
Cars drive so different on the street than on Dyno you can miss something. Although a Dyno is a must to see the powercurve and make sure no misfires on that too.

they use Flex-ray which is a technology the same way u code a car too, their flex ray is 8-10Hz, Jb isn’t even at 1 sample a second just so u can have an idea to be more accurate 0.3 samples a second hahaha … if it wasn’t for the DME being so fast to save motors from knock jb wouldn’t exist lol. bm3 is logging over 200 channels, basically bm3 logs everything the ecu itself sees every channel (including Knock and Timing Corrections)

This has definitely inspired me to go meth, I ordered the BMS setup. I'm really unhappy with E85. Inconvenient, bad mileage, and the car runs weird on it.
I guess we will see what the Alpinas, x-drive, and meth can all do together.

Does anybody know which is bank 1 on a US n63? I'm getting a drivetrain error and the code that comes up is bank 1 misfire. I just changed all the plugs and coil packs 2 months ago. If I'm looking at the front of the engine I changed the first spark plug on the left side of the engine and it's still giving me the error. The drivetrain error comes on about a minute after I start the car without even driving.

You need a Real* tune.
Or your Jb4 wires/device is in bad shape.
