Finally--My Custom Tune is Here!

Mr. 5 · 02-03-2008, 01:15 PM

I've been searching, asking, complaining and sometimes crying about getting a tune to go along with my mods so I could take full advantage of what I have. Some said that it wouldn't matter and others said that it needed to be done.

Now, and Finally, the moment was here to do the tune.
I met up with Shiv at the same place that I've done all of my Dynos mainly to keep the parameters the same (same dyno, same car).

I previously just installed the Active Autowerke Intercooler and showed good gains with that IC. The thread is here:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110106
So, run #38 was the best run that I've done with my car.
Could I do any better?

I know that some have shown better numbers on other dynos, but I honestly don't care about any other dynos. I care about this one. Even though most dynojets are similar with their readings, I very much think that every single dynamometer reads differently. Some read higher than others and others read a bit lower. I personaly don't care about peak numbers so I could go brag to my friends. I only care about the gains over the other runs that I've done in the past.

So, this is what I have:

-UR HFC DPs (I can't believe the acronyms around here.

It's just as bad as the government I work for.)
-Magnaflow mufflers, X pipe instead of resonator, 2nd cats deleted
-AA IC
-Procede V2 (Custom for 91 Octane)

Since the last and best dyno that I did was with the AA IC, I have chosen that curve to show the gains of the Custom V2.

Again, All runs were done on 91 Octane, and I can still adjust my torque values higher if I put anything different in.

I'm extremely happy!
Now, I'm all set for the track.

Very nice!

jpsimon · 02-03-2008, 01:29 PM

33whp gain, very nice!

people actually thought a custom tune wouldn't yield better results? what is wrong with some people

ontopofm · 02-03-2008, 01:31 PM

so did u put on lots of miles since yesterday? shiv spent too much time on ur car

i just ordered 2 cone filters and maybe i'll stop by your house next weekends to look at those connectors

e90AW335i · 02-03-2008, 01:31 PM

Nice Numbers! Did you use a upgrade air filter, or any intake?

ArmyBimmerDude · 02-03-2008, 01:35 PM

Wow impressive! Maybe Shiv could do another tour of the U.S. to custom tune everyone elses.

dr.roro · 02-03-2008, 01:36 PM

Wow.. very impressive gains, especially at the high end! So the only difference is the custom tune?

Lane · 02-03-2008, 01:43 PM

How do I get a custom tune?

stillclaimndp · 02-03-2008, 01:52 PM

WOW that is like + ~70whp at redline!!!

Is this with stock intake? If so I think you could be 380+whp with a cone filter intake, that would be right in line with Shiv's 390whp considering that he has catless donwpipes and you have high flow cats...

How does it drive? Must pull HARD>>>

Based on this conversation via PM I'd say they don't plan on offering them to just anyone. I'm not looking to stir up any sh*t, just posting the conversation I had regarding this topic. Besides who knows how much of Mr.5's gains are from the IC and how much are from the custom tune.

When I had my Evo Shiv would make the trip about twice a year to my area to do custom tunes. Is he ever going to provide anything like this for the 335 (especially since we can't self tune these like we could the Evo Exede)?

We recently had a local dyno day and there were a few of us there with V2 and they both pretty much fell on their faces up top. Mine only made 15 more hp than a totally stock car. It would be nice to know if it was the dyno, our local gas, installation, etc...

I posted in another thread about someone else with similar results on a DynoDynamics which is what we ran on and Shiv was making it out to be a dyno issue.

I'm also planning to build my own intake and would like the car tuned for it since it is going to be pretty different than anything currently available.

That is why I asked that above. I am very interested if he had a K&N in there, or what...

Lane · 02-03-2008, 02:01 PM

Based on the evidence, Ali doesn't know what he is talking about.

Edit: if (as noted later on in the thread) instead of comparing V2 and "V2 custom", what is compared is V1 and "V2 custom" the results do not tell much of anything...

Agreed. The story we have heard is that the stock airbox makes it really tough to start breaking 350+ at the wheels (not that it can't be done but that it is losing power at that point) so he could really see some gains by adding a cone filter intake if he is running the stock airbox

Or this may be a R&D type thing in an effort to build up an off the shelf map base for varying levels of mods.

Fuckn' a...Nice numbers

This was done with the factory box installed.

Man, I'm happy to see those numbers with HFC's. I thought they might be a let down compared to going catless. Congrats!

Well, I showed the gains of the IC in the thread posted in the first post, but I'll put them on the same graph.
I did get good gains from the IC but nothing like this.

Yup.
I'm happy with the HFC numbers also, but Shiv did say that he's seen much better gains going catless.
If I were to do it all over again, I'd probably go catless DPs and HFCs in the midpipes.

cgillio · 02-03-2008, 02:24 PM

wow very nice numbers

e90AW335i · 02-03-2008, 02:31 PM

One more thing, do you have the AFR for these runs?
