Dinan Stage 2
I currently have Dinan Stage 1 software installed and really like it...I am considering installation of stage 2 which gives me an additional 78 HP and 113 more lbs of torque....however, I am running an automatic trans..does anyone see any potential issues with this in that the HP and torque with stage 2 is too much for the auto to handle and result in a shortened trans life ?

I think the stage 2 gives you an additional 78hp and 113lbs torque over a stock engine's output. With Dinan stage 2, you would probably be looking at more of a 20-25 hp gain over your dinan stage 1.

Also keep in mind that Dinan goes by bhp gains and not to the wheels. Dinan Stage 2 and even 3 are very mild tunes compared to JB4, Procede and Cobb tunes.

I have Dinan S2 with Auto trans since 2010, did the tune at 8K. Im not shy at all and @ 61K, its all good.
This tune is the best tune ive ever purchased. Also the most expensive. There are no hiccups in the map, at least none that i have detected which is exciting to me. Ive beaten modded cars claimed to have 500+ hp and can almost keep up with a lightly modded C5 Zo6. That stupid Genesis coupe almost got me which is also food for thought. I put down some unicorn numbers on a mustang dyno a couple years back. Other than the dealer deleting or messing with the ecu a few times, I havent had any issues. Its definitely over priced, but since im so happy i dont feel like i gave up refinement to have this kind of power, perhaps i should reconsider my thoughts on that. Ive seen how the COBB tuners work on an STi. Lots of functionality and added features. If it were available when i was in the market I might go that route and get it dyno tuned by a somewhat local genius. Ive never been for a ride in a tuned N54/55 other than my own. I lucked out with this platform, im very impressed with the power output.

I have the Dinan Stage 2 on my car with the automatic transmission. No issues whatsoever. Really drives good in sport mode.

Hi Do you have any additional cooling hardware fitted to your car? I am planning to get Dinan S2 but worried about the excessive heat generated from the tune. Thanks. |

to burst your bubble. But a Dinan stage 2 tune on a N55 is like a stage 1 tune on a N54. I've had the Dinan S2 since Feb. on an N55 and I build 12 to 13 psi boost which is lower than the N54 did on a stage 2. |
