Well I don't think Anile8 is the right person to ask as he is at sea-level. But I would say 220-225kw is what most software only cars are doing up here at Snail from most of the tuning houses.

See you running AR Design DP's and water meths? This makes a major difference in terms of what boost you can run at altitude. Are you planning to go pass Snail sometime, am very interested to see what you dyno?nomercy said:
For the guys running JB3 tune only at altitude I definitely wouldn't recommend running anything higher than standard Map3, even then you may need to reduce the standard settings a bit using the adjustable parameters in custom Map1 for hotter temps. Given the altitude in conjunction with our lousy fuel dont expect to run close to what the yanks are using unless you have full mods and water meth.
BTW who fitted your AR design DP's for you? Have they brought out DP's for right hand drive vehicles, apparently one of the flanges for the O2 sensors catches in our RHD cars?

I have the first botched set with the flange in the wrong place which I repaired. They sent me a replacement set which is sitting in my garage as I am too lazy to fit and it seems the flanges are in the right place. Should fit them this weekend and will let you guys know.
In regard to the JB3 I think that it is very sensitive to plugs so if your cars have got more than 20,000km fit new plugs and you will be able to run slightly more aggressive maps. In my opinion the other problem with the JB3 at Altitude is that the boost ramps up too much too soon. This kills of the high end power.

Mt father has a big engineering shop and his guys fitted it for me but it was a big mission, not easy at all!
Ill be going to the dyno soon, fitting a bmw perforamce exhaust so car is stock now and I'm getting it back tomorow, so will fit everything this weekend.
I'm running a custom map from terry with the meth, but map 5 daily!!
Twinz@Rennzport said:
No,sir
I'm still stock there, I'm waiting for you guys to do some nitrous on you car first and see how it goes!! I find everything works different here then in the usa!!!
So ill wait for some local experts/you to do it first, then we can talk!!!
And terry is planning big things for jb3 users in the next 2-3 mounths!!!

Thanks for the info George, glad to see they've brought out a replacement set of flanges for RHD :excited: Only problem being with DP's is that to keep the motorplan I would need to take out for each service:bawling: How much you guys reckon to remove & re-fit?George Smooth said:
Yep, JB3 is definitely hard on the plugs at altitude. As per my other post, I've recently gone back to stock and found the car just wasn't feeling right. So went back to Snail and dynoed again, had lost like 15-20kw! When comparing the dyno graph to the previous stock run the lines were exactly the same up until 3500-4000 rpm where the new dyno line started to drop. Sherwin had a look and suggested I change plugs. Finally got the plugs done this morning (after major hassels trying to find the right specialisted BMW socket tool, but thats another thing) Plugs seemed black & burnt, not the usual brownish colour, even the white ceramic part on the outside near the core was yellow? They must have been getting really hot? Anyways the car feels much stronger againGeorge Smooth said:
Thanks for the help Sherwin....looking forward to Saturday :thumbsup:
NoMercy, have you run a 1/4 mile yet?
Not with my own car no, but we did a run a while back with a 335 auto!

I'm waiting for my car to get back from bmw as I'm fitting the performance exhaust

But serwin ill be coming to you soon as I've got another 335 to do and the guys is not a hands on oke so sw suits him beter!!
What's the fastest time so far with the n54, anyone know, I know at a msa event its xcede!!! 12.9???
Oh just to let you know, I haven't even dynod my car, but will do so in the next few weeks or so!!
Bmw must hurry up now, I've been waiting a long time know!!!

Where did you guys run 12.7? I assume on a G-tec or something.
Ill get all the details for you from the guy who did it, when and where!
His running jb3, forge dvs, ets intercooler, ar dps and a quaife diff!!
But if I'm not mistaken it was at a ford event, but could be wrong!!! Ill get the details!
Your best time up to now, and what are your mods on the car, I know you've done 12,5?

Dude thats such a small world :thumbsup:, i also live in Ruimsig
I done my run at ODI, february if i remember correctly
But remember im stock, no mods at all and i ran a 13.4
runflats and pump fuel
I won my open class though, was up against a few modded scooby's and a few modded S3's
iirc, George Smooth has run a 12.5 in his 335i, but could be mistaken, i know he is in the 12's though
That's great man we must meet up sometime, ill pm you nextweek to come to the dices with us and show you the cars and we can have some fun
Our car have got some bolton so we can do some comparisons if you like
So 12,5 the fastest outthere???
Oh, just spoke to bmw, my car is coming friday, so got a long weekend installing all my stuff!!!!
Can't wait, got a few dices lined up!!!!
