So you haven't run with the downpipes yet?

i also ran with down pipes the trap got higher but could not get better than 12.1 ... so down pipes did not do much on their own

That's what i thought. You got about 1 mph higher but saw no better time. So what's changed since your last run. Exhaust right? You think that's worth 2 tenths?

A bit of topic, but I installed JB4 stage 2 on my 535i. Drove for three days. Raced with stock 535i and i didnt win. The result was same as when we raced without JB4. The cars went identically.
So, I don't know why they claim 80hp, if there is no difference compared to stock in performance. I was on map 1 and we raced from 40mph - 100

Any passengers? Maybe you had a really fat friend with you in the car haha. Or maybe the other car lieing to you about mods No way a stock vs jb4 will win. Maybe you were in eco pro mode? I'd go ask the 535 guys |

I'm truly convinced that downpipe yield nothing on our cars unless they get a tune.
I think the extra speed of turbo spool scaring the ecu. LoL Last edited by combatbmw; 02-09-2014 at 03:22 PM.. |

That sucks. Hopefully there's a way this can be fixed.

This is a funny fucking thread. So many of you guys new to the BMW tuning scene without a lot of information and history.
The BMS stage 1 for both the Tu and non-Tu are not ecu tunes. They are piggyback devices which allow the engine to make greater than stock power on its own by sending slightly altered signal, within the limits of the ecu configuration and programming/logic. These ecu's are and have been load based for a while. That means they have algorithms to read various sensors for data to determine how much boost, fuel, timing ect to make based on a given load target... I.E. These cars target to run more boost in hot weather / higher altitude to compensate and try to hit their programmed load targets. The stage 1 setups tap into a single type of sensor (tmap/maf) to simulate conditions to the car to make more power, safely as proven by the 1000s of tunes sold by BMS. There is nothing crazy going on about these from an overall design perspective but they do an excellent job in making more power, especially for the price. As far as ecu tuning, no tuners have cracked the new ecu's fully. Some have cracked some areas, but not all. A full ecu tune allows for a full mapping change for boost, timing and fuel tables among others. This is the ideal tuning but it's just not available on this platform besides dinan which I don't not believe even they have absolute ecu control, at least yet. Even Cobb for the n54/n55 hasn't been able to access the entire ecu like what's possible on corvettes, mustang, evo's, gtr's ect. Plus, a proper dyno tune setup typically costs hundreds of dollars more, and is not DIY or easily reversible and can be detected and/or overridden by the dealer when in for service or maintenance work. There is nothing wrong with these stage 1 tunes. They do their job and do it well. The fact that some cars make more power or slightly different power curves is to be expected given the way these tunes work and the load based operation of the engine. It's the stage 2 tunes in general from BMS and others that really take over more control setting definitive boost/timing/fuel targets for the ecu to hit, along with tapping into the cars ecu directly for more signal control a la CANBUS. Read up on the n54 jb4 or Vishnu procede setup. However the stage 2 for the n63 setup doesn't have the same full integration that the stage 2 does for the other n54/n55 cars do to extremely difficulty in tackling the CANBUS (and new setup for which I can't recall the difference in name) system in the ecu / electronics network of the car that has evolved into a much more advanced setup in the new F-series cars. This doesn't stop stage 2 from being effective for the n63 however and I expect the same for if/when it comes out for the n63tu. With BMS having a shop car f10 m5, the likelihood of this happening is greater than ever but still not confirmed. For any dinan owner... You don't need to get defensive. People who haven't gotten the dinan setup on account of price (which is high) or performance gains (which are moderate compared to other ecu tunes like Cobb and piggybacks... across all Bmw platforms) have made that decision. There is no doubt that on the f10 platform, the BMS setups have yielded faster overall cars. Sure they lack the tuning refinements of an ecu tune setup, but they're faster until proven otherwise. Heck, tons of people have dinan not installed or not installed correctly. That's damn embarrassing for the price and history of dinan itself. Dinan is the right thing for some people and not for others, like all things in life. But fact is, they traditionally never perform as well as basically every other tuning setup in the BMW scene, N54/n55/s54/s65 included, and many more. The refinement is there, and basically unrivaled, just not overall power. So the moral is, in my opinion and from my perspective, be happy with what you have. Or don't have. From personal experience: The BMS stage 1 Tu setup is obviously yielding tremendous gains over stock, especially when compared with the s1 gains on the non-Tu setup. The BMS stage 2 on the non-Tu is a massive improvement over the stage 1. The dinan s5 (only one I have driven) setup is excellent. Better throttle response, smoother and more broad power and gains, and very freaking expensive. For me, tough to justify price especially since it's a lease. If I owned the car, I would have taken that extra money and bought a less loaded m5 with a proper snow tire setup and called it a day. Ok... Sunday morning rant over. The lady is waking up and I must stop typing. Hate away.... |

Don't think anyone is looking to compare the tuning companies but rather have a better understanding of what, if anything can be done to fix the issue with the car loosing significant power in higher rpms with BMS tunes. It's unfortunate that the tune would cause the ecu to cut power which negates other power upgrades like downpipes or exhaust. We're lucky to have members on the board to test these mods and report their results so the rest of us can make informed decisions based on factual data.

i tell most of my friends i am stock... before my exhaust was done they wouldn't know the difference only when they are 10 cars behind me.. we had a guy who hangs out with us for many years call out a GTR caliming his 335i was stock turbos... after he smoked the GTR we found out he had RB turbo upgrrade.. i follow this rule "DTA" DON'T TRUST ANYBODY... our your tune not installed correctly.

My question is.. Why wasn't the car just dynoed while the stage 1 was already one and fully adapted? Instead of removing it as the car was being strapped on lol. Funky!! I call it false advertising. |
