I guess we are talking about downpipes and not the exhaust manifold?

I think is the manifold & not the downpipes.

[M-bitious]

Correct I already have catless downpipes. The exhaust manifold from SS will arrive shortly for testing.

Is that a new development from Supersprint? Didn't find it on their website, which is why I thought you might mean new downpipes.

Sorry about the confusion on my part there.

It is probably the first one they supply to a tuner for testing purposes.

The DME has a time limit of 10 hours where it's open to make changes (like going from 523i to 528 spec where the engines are the same and it's only software that differs). After 10 hours of use, the DME shuts that door. It might be possible to buy a brand new DME and do this, but that's also expensive.

This method only allows for changing from one BMW software to another, as far as I know.

And, they can't do this process for any of the S engines (like S63, S55) nor any of the N63 engines.

All S63 and S55 can be done Vmax delete and CEL fix are available in Russia for one year or more

Hi M Bitious, any new updates for your tuning? Any chance they can convert to make it run E85 mix? Can't wait to see how they can push the power further....

Car is still in Germany getting the SS manifolds this week. Then the week after they start mapping. I expect to pick up the car late September.

I haven't been following the results, how does your McLaren compare to the other makes in the series? That is some high level racing, congratulations! CBS Sports televises highlights in a one hour show on 21 Sept 6PM EDT. In the USA anyway, there is more thorough coverage in Europe for you lucky people.

It's been one of my harder seasons. We were the only Mclaren to finish the 24h of Spa despite spending 3.5 hours in the pits over the course of the race (too many failures). The car is pretty unpredictable escpecially under braking and initial turn in, this is why I'm not such a great fan of Mclaren anymore. If you are in Germany on Sunday, you are more than welcome to attend my race.

What's in the stage 1?

Any base dyno b4 stage 1?

What's the boost level set to on stage 1 & 2?

What kind of afr are we looking at?

[M-bitious]

So far downpipes plus IPE exhaust and OBD tune (no piggybags)
611 RWHP and 896Nm or 660 lb/ft.
Base dyno with dp's and IPE was 590bhp at the crank, don't have RWHP.
