My new tuning setup

Tobias1980 · 02-09-2009, 02:23 AM

Hi,

I have an 2008 E92 335i auto with one of the latest DME programs installed (29,2+).

I have been running Procede for a long time now and I'm very happy with the performance of this tune. My car is bone stock except for the V3.

I did try a Swedish flash from a swedish company (NOT ESS) - long story short - a big mistake (limps, tune detection code triggered etc). Procede is another world in all aspects! For a long time I thought a flash is superior... leasson learned..

Now I see the spring coming and I want to take the next step with my car. My plan is this setup:

-V3 stage 3 map
-Catted downpipes from AR
-Helix IC
-BMS DCI
-94 otane Shell V-power premium gas (always)

Will this be a good setup? I know Shiv is recomending catless exhaust for Stage 3 but that is out of question for me. Personally I can not justify the pollution for a small power gain.

Any feedback is most welcome

Hi Tobias, i will have exact the same setup, but with a new car with DCT gearbox.
I will probably try to go complete catless and use meth on next m5boardevent.
See you there!

Tobias--you can still gain some power from an exhaust with a cat over stock exhaust.

^^true?

sd390r · 02-09-2009, 03:19 AM

basically my set up

except I run 93 octane and soon ill have an exhaust

AR design makes great DPs and the helix fmic is real nice

Swedish flash ? Is it ESS ?

trixman · 02-09-2009, 04:41 AM

ESS are from Norway i believe

Tobias1980 · 02-09-2009, 05:13 AM

Hi,

My flash was not from ESS - IMO they have great products!

Thanks for the feedback - do you see any problems with Stage 3 map considering this setup of supporting mods?

///M ichael · 02-09-2009, 07:38 AM

Nice setup!
Go for it!

Good luck for next the owner of that car....

Thanks Rick - I hope Shivmeister also will approve before I push the button

RiXst3r · 02-09-2009, 07:50 AM

Another thing to consider would be an Autobahn Exotics catback with racing cats as the secondaries... free up the rest of your exhaust without polluting as much as catless

enrita · 02-09-2009, 08:01 AM

Go for catless DPs you wont regret it. Lets race when we have the summer tyres on, see my mods in sig ;-)

Considering the 94 octane and northen latitude, I would guess at it being fine. If you head south, you may want to consider running the Stage 2 maps.

Yes, it will be great fun Enrico!

Maybe we will end up in a local tuner war

Is your car an auto?

That goes to show that not all flash tunes are created equal and that a flash does not guarrantee it to be better than a piggy.
