E92 M3 ECU upgrades?

[freerider]

That does sound good

Wow .very neat job:clap:

There is apparently a tune that detunes the new M; but don't tell imp:

I was wondering about this, I know which car you are talking about, but it doesnt really make sense to me

stock, on paper, e46 M3 is supposed to have 252kw, and e9x 309kw

+-57 difference

now, at the dyno day, I did 220kw, and was told this was normal for a stock e46, while the e92 did +-300kw, which is a difference of +-80kw

so either my car is fucked, the dyno is fucked, or the software on the e92 worked???? maybe I am wrong?????

Yes

How can a stock E92 M be doing 300kw on the wheels??? Up here a M does 200wkw(wheel kw) and at the coast 17-22% more than that. Stock on motor at altitude running 98 unleaded it is doing 309kw that is before it encounters the losses of drivetrain etc. My car corrected for altitude is running 273wkw no chip only exhaust?

Edrich, here in CPT all the dyno joints measure in "converted to flywheel" KW :facepalm:

 

[mahinder-suresh]

OOOPs!:clap:
Which i regard as not that acurate with all the losses and all!
My bad!:hammerhead:

Hi Edrich :wave:

What did Ettiene charge you for the system ? I have heard some pretty good things about him and his standards of workmanship.

R15000 Full polished stainless steal X-pipe and rear silencers(2 of them at the rear) 2 resonators 1 on each side of the X-pipe. Refitted all lambda probes and all the original heat shields around diff area have been fabricated in thin pieces of polished stainless and mounted by means of stainless hex bolts housed but recessed stainless nuts, you cant believe the quality of this guys work! Also dyno before and after:thumbsup:
But rather contact him and make sure bud

That is probably the cheapest mod you will do on the M3, if you are looking at R/Kw gain obtained.

do u have to remove when u go to the dealer?

Don't you know that hey don't even look under the bonnet when they service your car? I've had some very specifics missed whilst doing my service at the dealers.

 

[Twinz]

Wow...that is an amazing exhaust...and the power gains..incredible!!! About a 35kw gain. :thumbsup:

The baseline figure of 238.6Kw for the new M3...not sure how to react.

Yes

thanks for clearing this up bru :slap:

if I am right, this is actually rwhp, so accounting for the drivetrain, and altitute losses, it is about right

 

[mahinder-suresh]

It feels better than right, it feels absolutely fantastic!!!imp:

 

[biofreak]

Awesome bud!!

 

[Sherwin@xcede]

Wow, good gains there.

We have done over 10 E9X M3's and the minimun gain with software only is around 10 kw on the wheels. I doubt you can squeeze much more out with software only.

Here is a graph of s/w only:

And here is s/w with decatt:

Bear in mind that we remapped the car to with a much more aggressive file to take advantage of this breathing mod. The decatt alone made around 8kw on the wheels.
