In any case, I'm not sure about stock ECU being tuned for 89 and/or 93 only or what not. All I know is, I'm pretty sure 91 octane tune was what I got from AA. Also, I'm not sure about the baseline dyno's peak hp rpm issue. I swear on my mother's grave though that I revved it all the way to fuel cut during the baseline dyno. So maybe the dyno chart was cut off? In any case, even if it were cut off, the Dynapack software still records the highest #'s for reference. I'm sure my dyno guy would've given me the best # recorded. ^EDIT: I just looked at the baseline graph. Not sure what was meant by peak hp not being right? It seems right to me? Due to the crazy drop in torque after 5k rpm, the peak hp eventually tapers off as well. The motor pretty much falls flat on its face =P During the baseline dyno, I hadn't gotten the proper adapters to mate the SS Race cans to my OE section2 (x-pipe) in the mail yet. I already had the stock mufflers off to prepare for the SS Race mufflers at the time too, and was lazy to put the OE ones back on just for dyno purposes. I really didn't think muffler cans would've done anything. In fact, I still honestly personally think that if I had the OE mufflers on for the baseline dyno, I would've probably gotten lower peak power due to the restriction in the cans. I was also curious about the sound without mufflers on the dyno lol.. But the "after" dyno, I had the SS Race cans on. Last edited by mfanatic325; 11-04-2010 at 12:31 PM.. |

^^^ Quick question off-topic... What adapters did you use when u mated the Supersprint Race cans to stock x-pipe??
I'm doing the opposite - SS X-pipe to fit to Stock mufflers (it's a temp thing). Can you please let me know, because I'm having difficulty with this, and I don't want to weld anything. Thx in advance |

I'm sold on these for the price, especially b/c the top end doesn't wheeze out like the factory tune. Will this adapt up to a 100 oct like the ess tune?
Are there any so cal shops that can tune or does the ecu need to be shipped?

Anyhow, I'm not sure if the base 91 tune will adapt to significantly higher octanes such as 100. Your best bet is to ask AutoTalent and they'll probably ask AA for you |

Don't forget to take out the charcoal filter on top of the stock filter. If memory serves, European Car Magazine got 2.5whp out of this simple mod on their otherwise stock z4m coupe. And K&N filter gave them another 2.5whp.

hah interesting. I will look into the charcoal filter thing. I got a B&M drop-in filter. Not sure what power if any that'll yield me. |

Went by Active and got "Tuned" today. This is the first NA tune i have purchased which actually made me go "damn". All other tunes were very mild compared to this. This tune you can definitely feel. Might disconnect the battery tonight to see if it does anything. I was skeptical at first but now I am sold. Just get it !

I didn't give this tune enough credit in the beginning because it hadn't fully adapted yet. But after driving the car more, the above reset procedures, and a track day, I am most definitely happy with it. Keep in mind that I could've just as easily reverted back to stock and gotten my full money back. That speaks a lot for itself! =] Last edited by mfanatic325; 11-16-2010 at 02:56 PM.. |
