Active Auto Processor installed

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 05:43 PM

Just got it installed on my 135i. Car pulls like crazy.

curtdragon · 03-19-2008, 05:48 PM

on a new 135? gee that was fast lol

DYNO?

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 05:50 PM

No dyno sorry. I was pressed for time and AA was about to close.

curtdragon · 03-19-2008, 05:53 PM

i seen the box before but not 100% clear on it.. it installs like the other ones where you gotta open the ecu panel and add connectors and what not right?
Are the maps preset or do you tune them yourself?

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 05:55 PM

Map was preset. It goes in the ecu box with a few wires tapped into the ecu connector. Install took about 30 minutes. Holding steady at 14.5 lbs of boost.

Impulse · 03-19-2008, 06:10 PM

Did you do a break in procedure? Be careful
Does the AA need to bypass the solenoids?

boostin · 03-19-2008, 06:17 PM

get a dyno run with some air/fuel info. is this system tuneable by a tuner or is it only preset (no tuneability)?

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 06:43 PM

I was very careful in not going over 4000 rpms as described in the break-in procedure. I am not going all out on it yet. I can tell you 0-4000 rpms pushed me back into my seat big time. I plan on getting a full dyno run with a/f ratios when i have fully broken the car in before I really get on it. This piggy back is tunable by AA but comes with a preset map.

The boost solenoids are bypassed. I know all about the issues with the wastegates over on e-90 so I will have a very close ear on any suspicious sounds or ticking noises.

So far I am very happy with this unit. Super easy to install no issues, no warning lights, no limps thus far.

Helios · 03-19-2008, 06:50 PM

OMG!! that was way fast... lol!! your probably the first chipped 135i around these parks.. Congrats, my 1 should be here in the next 2 weeks, I would love to see how it pulls next to mine!

Have fun cruising the streets of MIA

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 06:51 PM

Thanks Mario! See you around the 305!

dim135 · 03-19-2008, 07:38 PM

congratulations! we are waiting your dyno!!!!

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 08:18 PM

We may have to wait a bit since I only have 100 miles on the car. For a true dyno test the car has to be run through the whole rpm range. So far I have not taken it past 4000 rpms. So they dyno will have to wait a bit. Then again a road trip could speed things up. Bwahahaha

You added a boost gauge?
Looking forward to your dyno.

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 08:47 PM

After the install the car was driven around for a while with a mechanical boost gauge to accurately measure boost. It never got past 14.5 psi. I am still debating wether to get one or not. I just dont want to take the car into the delaer with a boost gauge in place. It could raise some suspicion.

rajuncajun · 03-19-2008, 10:02 PM

God I can only imagine what the extra power feels like. I was totally thrilled running mine today stock. These things are really quick!

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 10:04 PM

So true. Even the guys at Active where like oh my god this thing will give the 335 and New m3 a run for their money.

1ForAll · 03-19-2008, 11:30 PM

AHHHHH 1 more week to fix my old car while my 1 sits at the dealer

can't wait to drive yours to see the difference

eunosracr · 03-19-2008, 11:33 PM

just say when.

stefan · 03-20-2008, 12:10 AM

My mechanic highly recommends an upgraded intercooler with AA installation. I don't have much of an opinion on it, myself, but thought I'd let you know.

Edit; just saw your other post, stating that you're picking it up later. Cool.

now that your boost levels have been raised, an intercooler is important to drop the IAT. at this point, an intercooler, cai, and a catless downpipe will give you the most power while adding reliability.
