Re: JET's 335Xi
Very nice. Nice on the DCT car too, wish my car had one of those.

Re: JET's 335Xi
Jet, thanks for sharing. Did the other guys run on JB Map 5 also? And is his also running e85? Did it throw any CEL on dynojet?
|
Re: JET's 335Xi
His was E85 also. AWD is costing me about 20whp the auto another 15. No CEL's. I did get a goofy reset after I drove it. Not sure the AWD setup liked the dyno since the rollers aren't linked. Here is video of it, nothing exciting.

Re: JET's 335Xi
Yep, the car isn't happy about something. Racing a modded G35S tonight and it threw me in to the stock map after flashing the CEL. I also noticed on the first race with him that it was lowering the boost in the middle of the rev range(beat him by 2 car lengths to 80). I am going to toss the laptop in and do a little logging tomorrow after work.

Re: JET's 335Xi
JET - keep us updated. And I finalized the deal and have the car in my garage now :-) Before reading into the JB4 stuff, i first need to finish all the menus though - just spent a good 20 mins to set up the homelinks - had to run back and forth like a monky :-)
Quick question - as for 93 pump gas, i believe the majority on here and EvoMN would vote for BP, but besides BP, are other ones you can recommend on? How about Costco premium gas? It claims it provides 5 times more protection and cleaner, and in fact, I do like all Kirland products - especially the Toilet paper ;-) |

I cleaned my intake valves the other night and the car runs way smoother now. |

Hughes- running 10.2:1 compression and boost makes things a little trickier than normal, not to mention DI. It looks like everything is just fine now, I logged about 5 runs last night. I need to see what levels of E85 we have too, I don't have a tester. |

Re: JET's 335Xi
Well I didn't even have to do a boost leak test. I had been thinking about it recently and wondered what was sealing up the metal coupler side of the charge pipe. I did some more checking and I pulled a noob mistake. The new pipe didn't come with an o-ring and the other one came off with the old pipe and didn't stay on the TB. I pulled it apart tonight and got the o-ring in there.
So, I have been running with a huge boost leak! That explains why the dyno fell off so bad and I was not holding boost as good up top as I thought. Now I want to get back on the dyno! I can't wait to drive it tomorrow and see the difference. |
Re: JET's 335Xi
Yikes, turbo was workin hard! Glad it was an easy fix.
|
Re: JET's 335Xi
Excellent news! I bet it feels a whole lot better now.
|
Re: JET's 335Xi
Yeah, it pulls much harder now and doesn't fall off up top as bad. I tagged Chris Carey on FB to see if I could get in for a couple of pulls to see how it looks now. I am very impressed with the car for only having a tune on it. It is definitely a 12 sec car now, which isn't bad for it weighing almost 4k lbs.

Re: JET's 335Xi
Good to know about the o-ring thingy. I will definitely watch out for that if I ever come to it. Keep us updated.

Re: JET's 335Xi
Hey, i've just come across this BMW recall on 2010-2012 http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/11/b...ars-worldwide/
Did you guys get any alert or mail regarding to this recall? I believe Jet's and Rosey's are on the list. |
