bmwhp · 07-07-2013, 03:15 PM

why are you running two FMIC? does cobb even make a FMIC?

psmitty95 · 07-07-2013, 03:18 PM

The car will pull a lot of timing and the engine will not be happy at all

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-07-2013, 03:32 PM

You get a baby FMIC!

Viktimize · 07-07-2013, 03:44 PM

Double the cooling=double the power brah! Do it!

psmitty95 · 07-07-2013, 05:32 PM

I don't think most of you guys understand what he's saying... Haha I think he means if you run the cobb maps for FMIC but have the stock fmic

The cobb + fmic tunes the car more aggressively right? Is the stage 1 aggressive + FMIC significantly more powerful then just the normal stage 1 aggressive?

I would guess it would just produce too high of an air temp in your engine. The stage 1 + fmic is a stage that is meant for a better intercooler. So you would be running hot temps and certianly not be getting any gain with the engine temp being too hot....

I haven't used Cobb, but I'm kinda surprised someone hasn't just made a Matrix for all the various flavors of popular upgrade parts. Then when a person with a configuration uploads it, thy match up their parts with the car to spit out the tune. Maybe I'm too much of an Engineer??? Or maybe I'm just too detailed for my own good??

Too much timing for given setup > detonation > knock sensors triggered > timing gets pulled. Rinse, lather, repeat. Engine performance will be erratic and generally suck. If you want to run FMIC maps, get a FMIC.

your fuel pump will die

noobmw · 07-12-2013, 09:41 PM

I tried it and it was a big mistake. Timing waaaay off and car ran like a pile of dookie. Dont do it.

smallseafishie · 07-12-2013, 09:45 PM

You can probably get away with it during the winter when the air is cold. Otherwise, you'll get issues as the tune is using more aggressive settings for your engine. Hot air + aggressive tune = not a happy car/

135Pats · 07-12-2013, 09:55 PM

Yea....just dont do that. Too much timing, too much boost.

tennis_pr0 · 07-12-2013, 09:57 PM

U would think you could do this...i would not try it but theoretically an fmic just jeeps the engine cooler. On a not so hot day you could probably get away with it

tennis_pr0 · 07-12-2013, 09:58 PM

Can you switch to the + stage as soon as you put the fmic in?

On a cold day one or two pulls you could get away with.
