I also agree with you about top end and the fact that turbos probably run out of gas, but are you sure it's not because HPFP must be reprogrammed for higher pressures? The reason I'm bringing this to your attention is because I rememebr months ago a guy who had PPPerformance tuned was talking about the same issue in higher speed. It might be the same issue

He had issues with his PP piggyback tune, but all those was resolved with the ECU flash tune by Leib he has reported EDIT: That was probably what you meant... Since they had identified that issue they could also rectify it with the flash tune and know that it had to be dealt with when writing the software. |

Such great news, I can't wait !!! Few questions
1. Do you think we will be able to get into 700whp range with mods without having to use methanol ? Or at least to use methanol for additional 20-30 hp but without fully depending on it ? 2. The turbos that you're planning to install are going to be direct swap just with upgraded internals ? If I plan on installing other brand turbos will you be able to provide with tune ? Thanks

You are correct about that guy.
BTW, that guy never posted any dyno after that and never reported back here... Quote:

Yes, the turbos we are putting in are drop in turbos. No modification required. We will not make a tune for any other turbos outside of our own offerings. Eric Last edited by AMS ALPHA; 01-14-2015 at 12:18 PM.. |

No our drop in turbos will not cost over 5K... in fact they are right at $5k.
To be perfectly frank we dont like methanol injection here. We have used it in the past and the simple truth is no system is perfect or even close to it. The only time we feel comfortable using it is for cooling reasons and only on a 50/50 split. This way if the system fails its not going to hurt anything. Running pure methanol is is a crutch and one we just dont feel safe using. Making power is one thing but making reliable power is a different ball game. Eric |

Please remember BMW owners are more poor than AMG, and it many more of us who will tune, so please keep the tuning price like for Jaguar at least )))))))

Ams -
3 questions if I may? 1) will you tune an m5 to run on e85? 2)Are you able to fully rescale fuel maps? 3)any plans for an ob2 flashing option? Can you also show any fueling maps?

Fuel maps dont really apply to this ECU. That would be something you would use/see on say a stand alone system. Stock ECU's are a bit different. There is no map we would be comfortable sharing. OBD flashing is not something we are working on. Eric |

http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=136 Vbox times was also posted, which improved 0,5s on his previous "higher power" PP tune... He only could do one wet Vbox run though. After that the weather has been wet/winter where he lives, so no more runs done apparently. He has "reported" back here, but he does not post very often. But there has been several posts after he had the Leib tune done (here and also on the F8x forums). But, that is OT for this thread though |

Are you able to access fuel and rescale it as you wish? How are stock ecu's different? The N54 (135i/335i) had this done all day long and the adjustments were a standard for any flash tune, especially if you were to run different fuels. This is a direct injected motor and almost any modern BMW fueling system can support ethanol...You guys are an extremely reputable shop, i am just making sure this isn't smoke and mirrors and a name alone won't handle that. Please tell me what I am missing here...
