N52 Tuning Options and Recommendations

[g59tyler]

Picked up headers for my Z (3.0si) I'm looking to get it tuned and I'm torn between Stage FPs tune and 22RPD. I've tried bouncing around on e92 forums to see if there is any more info on 22RPDs tune. StageFPs website doesn't have dyno chart of their tune up anymore, and 22RPD doesn't either, however, this bavautoparts website host 22RPDs tune with a 40$ markup? If anyone has any experience with these tunes, feel free to share. Once I end up purchasing one of these I will try to remember to come back to this post to give an honest review. Honest review based on my butt dyno..

What headers did you get? Curious on any tune feedback as well from others.

My brother in christ you do not wanna know.. But if you must - they are what I've heard Active Autoworks has been drop shipping (** FROM WHAT IVE HEARD **) So I've went with the chinesium special - KUNGFU N52 Headers https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...d=2VP8i6YA0LOJ

I will be posting a review on these if they work - I'm willing to bet the will go on and work - just the question is how well..

Back when I had my N52 - I had Bob from StageFp's tune - you can search it up under my old user name taskmaster.

Calling pokeybritches ! Forum member who will do a custom tune for you. Comes highly recommended from folks on the E85/6 Z4 forum (zpost).

EDIT: I see Steeler has beaten me to it.

I had AA tuning on my prior N52 6mt coupe. With catless and full 3” exhaust I put down 235-237whp IIRCz

An update on the chinese headers, they are installed - car is running and driving. Will be updating this forum more once the rest of the exhaust is bolted back up and probably when I will have a tune which should be SOON.

Not this is any specific help but I have a 22RPD tune on my Z4M and its pretty darn good. They're a great company, doubt you can go wrong.
