Which tuning??

gardelic · 10-07-2010, 06:06 PM

What would be more suitable with BMS DCI,cp-e Catless DP & intercooler?
Cp-e standback,JB3 (Wait for g4?),Vinshu or AA2??
Please help!!

wait for G4

Ser1es · 10-11-2010, 11:34 AM

I am looking to get the JB3 as well, when does the G4 come out? Does anyone know?

mineo77 · 10-11-2010, 11:42 AM

if you buy the JB3 from Mike at N54tuning he will upgrade you to Gen4 at no cost when it comes out...prob late october or early november

ES BMW · 10-11-2010, 12:03 PM

Proceed. Do the research and decide what you think is best

i can't comment on the AA or CP-e, but i've had both the jb3 2.0 w/ 7-4 maps and the procede v4 (latest maps, as well).

procede is much better for part throttle, getting onto boost from part throttle, plus the features are awesome! if you look closely at the details, the jb3 gen. 4 is just copying a lot of what the procede already does. i'd rather have the experience and support of a company that innovates, versus copies.

this is nothing against terry or bms. he's a standup guy and i've communicated with him several times re: my old jb3. shiv is also a decent guy, but at the end of teh day, the procede is more advanced and safer.

take my experience as just my un-biased opinion after personally evaluating both tunes on my 135i.

i forgot they had one coming out. i hope it's as sick as their other products!

Ser1es · 10-11-2010, 02:07 PM

HPF is coming out with a tune? Any info on it or is it all still under wraps?

along with an exhaust, charge pipe w/ synapse BOV, single turbo upgrade, etc. soon to be the most powerful n54's in teh world! their tune has been described as user tunable, so it may be similar to the CP-e standback. it may be completelyl different, too. who knows (hint, hint mineo)

Well lets get on it mineo

.... I need parts! I just got the car 2 days ago, coming from a fully built and motor swapped eclipse gst spyder. I feel naked without mods.....

single turbo conversion is a big commitment, however. maybe you should try a jb3 or v4 and see if it's enough. if not, there's always bolt-ons and meth!

mineo77 · 10-11-2010, 03:03 PM

So the single turbo is a ways off...wouldnt hold our breath for that at this point.

BOV kit will be available real soon, it is ready for production. Exhaust prototype II is being developed and will be doing test fits in late Nov/december if all manufacturing goes well. December HPF is taking my car for a month to get the tune all finished up, it is going to be sick...full blown stand alone solution. I am trying to convince chris to build me out a custom meth kit which is a possibility to have out by Jan too..biggest slow down on that is the tune and the work needed for developing a custom tank in our engine bay...everything else on the meth part is done (pump, lines, etc).

to develop their tunes they dyno test it and privately rent out PIR (portland international raceway) track to test under lots of different conditions. So rest assured, when this comes out it will be SOLID.

thanks for the update, mineo! i think i want that exhaust, as long as it's not $1500-2000

Ser1es · 10-11-2010, 03:12 PM

Im not looking for any turbo mods at this time... Ill do the bolt on supporting stuff till i max out the turbo and my warranty then ill upgrade the turbo. But an HPF tune and exhaust would be nice. Is the tune going to be a preset like JB3 or a programable one. im used to using DSMlink for my old car.

not sure yet, but most likely programable with some presets.

Ser1es · 10-11-2010, 03:22 PM

You guys should work on an Xdrive conversion......

mineo77 · 10-11-2010, 03:29 PM

hahaha, now that would be a lot of work
