Why didn't you dyno in 5th? The ratio is 1:1 so the numbers are more accurate.

[HokieZHP]

I thought 4th gear in our 6speeds was 1:1...

No. The difference between a 5 speed and a 6 speed is the extra OD gear which is 0.85:1.

And I saw where you dynoed 187 whp in 4th with the GruppeM...there ya go folks, that's a loss of 13-18 whp over the stock ZHP average of 200-205 whp.

[ryankokesh]

So the other day Seth tuned and Dynoed my car.

In all honesty, I was a bit skeptical. I knew it would make the car a bit peppier, but I kind of figured other stuff like an intake and exhaust might be higher priority items. All I really wanted anyway was better throttle response, so I was actually thinking of getting a sprint booster for a while. I'm not really too concerned with hp numbers, etc, so I figured that'd be just fine for me. And really, I'm sure I would have been totally happy with it; I've heard many great things from people who have them. Turns out though, whatever the heck Eurochcharged does to the car totally changes the drivability in addition to squeezing some hp and torques out of the car. The dyno test showed I had a huge power lose at 4k, as is fairly common on these cars. Seth wasn't able to totally get rid of it as far as the dyno showed, but driving it now there's a night and day difference. I wouldn't know it's still slightly there were it not for the dyno graphs. My shifts are weirdly smoother now (no idea why) and the car takes off through the 4k range where it was just dumping before. My theory is that the power lose at 4k often coincided with my shift points, and contributed to a big lurch I got sometimes if I didn't hit it just right. Now it seems like I actually have half a clue what I'm doing with a manual transmission! Suffice to say, I was (am) beyond astonished at the difference the tune made to the everyday drivability. I often annoy my passengers with my slow driving (think James may as captain slow - I'm sure I'm in that category), so I didn't really think a tune was something a guy like me would benefit much from. Sure I go fast sometimes, but it's a fairly rare occurrence.

So morals of this story:

1) Seth: why the heck didn't you make me do this sooner?
2) apparently tunes aren't just for the extra couple horse power. It really does change the way the car drives in everyday situations.
3) I'm told I'll be seeing some better mpg numbers. I'm an avid Fuelly user so I'll be sure to report back on any changes I see (or don't see) in that arena.

Oh, and another thing. One last story! While my car was being prepped to get dynoed, I took Seth's for a little test drive. I was amazed at how much easier it was to drive with a standard flywheel compared to the lightweight one on my car. I promptly offered to trade him if he payed for the labor (remember, I'm not speedy). He seemed pretty psyched about the idea. But then, unfortunately for him, I drove my car with the tune on it. So much easier!!! Again, I'm not really sure why. All I know is quite a bit of the chatter disappeared, and it feels quite a bit better at slow speeds like in a parking lot. So I unoffered my previous offer.... :)

I'm officially a happy camper, even though the dyno tore my expansion tank a new one. It was worth it!

Moral 4: change yer expansion tank! :shifty

I do have this...



+2tq/+3hp?

Hardly worth it IMO. I'm sure different cars would take differently to a tune though.:dunno

[ryankokesh]

Yeah, to be perfectly honest though it really feels like more than that when you drive it. The combination of the improved throttle response and the minimization of the 4k dip completely changed the car. I didn't expect much in the hp department, especially since it's all stock. Not much more you can squeeze out of these things. And because of that, I didn't really expect too much of a difference in the driving experience going into it. I feel like it sounds like I'm just saying this to say it, but it made me feel like it was the first time I was driving the car again. It was that kind of excitement. I did have an epic dip though...

There was also a different tune that Seth tried that put out a higher number for max hp (not much though- maybe another hp or two) but the curve wasn't as good so we stuck with the one you see there.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[nike001]

You probably could have rebuilt your DISA to achieve the same results. I'd probably recommend doing that still anyways.

Did you have the updated BMW software too? That helps in the 4K RPM dip too..

[ryankokesh]

Not sure about the software. I didn't have it done, but I'm not sure if a po did. And yeah, I should try rebuilding the disa - was thinking about that the other day actually.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[johnrando]

You thinking of maybe adding a Perf Intake? All those little things add up. As you said, it's not about HP for this car, it's the feel. The tune increases drivability, increases MPG, gives the car a better sound and feel. Fix the DISA, add an intake, it adds up to making a great car even better.

[UdubBadger]

+2tq/+3hp?

That is peak remember. The midrange is improved by almost 20whp and 20wtq @ 4600rpms. Jerrys tuning philosophy is geared towards driveability. Most often than not we aren't pushing our cars up to redline every time through the gears so we try to shoot for power where you will feel/use it the most. I don't see anyone else out there adding 20whp/20wtq peak numbers anyway, hell the Shark barely makes 10bhp at the crank peak which is only about 7-8 to the wheels.

[nike001]

I'd like to see these numbers/this tune on another dyno that isn't a mustang.... :shifty

[UdubBadger]

Then feel free to buy and tune and bring it to the dyno of your choice. :thumbsup

Also remember Ryan's car is fully stock.

Just read the entire 32 pages. Very interested in this over the $300 sprint booster. But can anyone with a 6MT compare that for me. Obviously not going to get a ton of WHP, but I agree with tuner, it's the mid-range that really wakes up most cars. That said what I'm most interested in, is possibly a comparison on the drive by wire changes?

I read about the Sprint Booster story and how you can't get 100% throttle open until 3500 RPM's. What does this tune do for throttle response?

Seth do you guys offer remote tuning with something such as this Autocal? It's a OBDII flash pack with tuning installed. I have EFI LIVE on my Duramax which seems to be pretty much the same as Eurocharged. I'm really interested in some tuning for the ZHP. What all does it do for the Automatics? Does it change any shift points?

I guess my question was more along the lines of how it's done than an opinion on it. :)

Sprint Booster modifies the signal so that instead of waiting until 3500 RPM to open the butterfly on the TB 100%, it can do it based on throttle position at any RPM.

Is that a similar case here?

[wsmeyer]

Is that a similar case here?

The SprintBooster just amplifies the signal coming off the pedal. It makes the ECU think the pedal is depressed 100% when you gave physically only depressed it 50% or 30% depending on what mode you have it in. The benefit is that it feels like the throttle response is quicker and feels like the transmission diwnshifts sooner. The downside, and the reason I don't have one on my car, is that you end up with all this dead travel in the pedal. When I'm driving spirited I'm not an on/off kinda guy with the pedal. I like to modulate the pedal and when I let off a little I expect it to back off accordingly.

[wsmeyer]

What I was getting to is that if the ECU limits the throttle body opening at lower RPM the SprintBooster won't change that.

[UdubBadger]

^ Right. We are able to do it straight inside of the ECU in the OEM coding to up the sensitivity. It's all in the coding baby. :)

[johnrando]

You can do coding AND a sprint booster, a few of us have that. I'd go coding first, as that actual performance gains. You can also get an SB for less than $300.

[UdubBadger]

Right but why go that route if the tune already covers what the SB does also? I know you're tune left you short with the AT so in that case sure, you need 2 items. But if you do get a tune that does everything the SB does, why not just go with that tune?

[derbo]

I want to be driving in aggressive mode at all times. :)

[johnrando]

Certainly makes sense Seth. Back in the dark ages when I got my tune, (before you guys came around), it did not do what the SB does.

[E_Rak]

Would you recommend updating to the latest BMW software before getting a tune? Also, does your Boston location have a dyno?

Just want to clarify that, while the tune will change the responsiveness of the engine, the software is ADAPTIVE and will adjust if you get lazy and aren't hooning around every second of driving.

That is why the Sprint Booster is so convenient. It's two modes are always going to perform the same.

Clearing the pedal adaptations is a good way to refresh the feel of the aftermarket tune, but if you lack the tools to do so, you're SOL. This is where the combination of the tune and SB will make the car feel the same each and every time you drive it.

no idea Rando, never heard of that process.

[wsmeyer]

Holding gas pedal down for 30 seconds is how you clear the transmission adaptation on our X5.

Can't hurt to try.

[johnrando]

OK, I'll stop being lazy and look it up again, as I know there is an E46 process. EDIT Here it is:

E46 Resetting Throttle Response

Over time your BMW e46 wil adapt to your driving style. Can you remember the days when your car would feel fast and spirited and jump when you touched the peddle? Have you lost that feeling? Well, it's not totally your fault. It's fun to go fast, but who doesn't like to get 27-28 Mpg? You can change back to a default setting if you wish.

Here's the steps for an e46. They are simple and easy to follow.

First, with the key removed, sit in the driver's seat and insert the key.
Turn the key to position "2". Position "2" is one position before the car engages and starts.
Wait 10 seconds and then turn the key back to position "0", which is the initial position.
Once again wait 10 seconds and then start the car up.
You should now have your throttle response reset and your driving pattern from this point on
will dictate how your throttle response adapts.

Over time your throttle response will once again become lacking and another reset will need
to be performed. It is recommended that this be performed every 3-6 months if you feel the
need to have your spirited car back.

Combine your tune with our BMW MYGenius Handheld Programmer for easy switching between files.

http://www.eurocharged.com/images/Euro_mygenius.jpg
What does this mean to you?

Well you will now have the capabilities of flashing and reflashing your car in the convenience of your own home, and you keep the flasher for future use!

MyGenius is the most versatile instrument ever invented for serial programming through OBDII.

It uses all recent communication protocols (K-Line, Can and J1850), which allows us to read and write the ECU of most vehicles. MyGenius is able to store the original (stock) file and multiple tune files on the internal memory card. The user can swap between files whenever it’s convenient.

The MYGenius Kit Contains:

F32MYGENIUS - MYGENIUS TOOL
F32GN024 - OBDII CABLE
C32GNUSB01 - USB CABLE
CUSBKEY - USB KEY with SOFTWARE

To update the MyGenius is really simple. The owner needs an internet connection and a few minutes to download what they need from our database, which allows the MyGenius to be able to communicate with a large number of vehicles / ecus. The MyGenius is an all-purpose OBDII flasher with excellent features.

MyGenius is also very easy to use. It will show you the steps to follow during the reading and writing of the ECU, with detailed instructions.

No more sending in your ECU before visiting the dealer for routine service!

F.A.Q.

Who is Eurocharged?
A: Eurocharged Performance opened its doors in January of 2009 with the support of many friends and family members. We knew we could provide high quality Mercedes, BMW, and other European aftermarket parts to the public cheaper than the competition, while still maintaining quality and performance. After the merging of L.E.T. Motorsports and Eurocharged, we wasted no time finding a shop, purchasing the needed equipment for fabrication, hiring key people in the industry, and building an inventory of high quality parts ready to ship to the customer when ordered.

Eurocharged Performance acquired the inventory / rights to LET Motorsports and their products. LET had made the decision to focus on the software development, leaving the crucial hardware development to Eurocharged. We now have the ability to tune most European vehicles and provide high quality, affordable aftermarket parts to complement one another.

Today at Eurocharged, we have a global dealer network that allows us to better serve customers and enthusiasts on 6 continents, while also implementing our master plan of worldwide domination :drevil (ok... just kidding about that last part).

Are these tunes 1 file you distribute to everyone?
A: NO!
All of our tunes are "made to order" which means we take into account your car, any modifications and your desires for how you'd like it to drive. Some other tuners just give you a file that was made on a car with specific mods that probably differ of what is on your car. At Eurocharged we don't make cars faster or more powerful, we make YOUR car as fast and powerful as it can be with the modifications you currently have.

What happens if I purchase modifications later on, is there an extra charge for a new tune?
A: No, your car is Eurocharged for as long as you own it. If you need a modified map, you let us know and we will re tune the car.

*If for some reason your car's file is erased, there might be a charge for retuning which will be determined on a case by case basis at the time of contacting us if such happens.

What goes into tuning a ZHP at Eurocharged?
A: Some of the MANY areas (but not all) that we are able to modify to make the ZHP faster and more powerful are:
-Ignition advancing
-Air mass flow
-Fuel mapping
-RPM limiter
-IVVT set points
-Valve spread on inlet cam
-Thermostat control
-Fan speed control

And most importantly for the Steptronic Transmission - Throttle sensitivity

Does the Eurocharged Tune eliminate the 4k RPM dip in power?
A: At this time our base ZHP software eliminates SOME of the dip but it is believed that only the adaptation of resetting the DME is causing this. We are going to continue to try new ways to compensate the dip through powersmoothing but have not successfully countered the dip yet.


The just of piggy vs flash is a piggy is overlaying map on top of the ecu and "tricking" it to running those specs. This is why you also need a code reader with most because they glitch and throw codes. A flash is actually going to the ecu coding and changing the programming. The car will always run smoother and there is not really anytime you'd need a code reader unless something else was wrong with the car (basically no false alarms). We also take a more modest approach to boost because excess wear shortens the life of the turbos on these cars. However we still make very close to the same power gains as the guys pushing the boost to the limits.

[UdubBadger]

I was looking at AR as well is catless really that bad?

Do you think you could give me a quick comparison pro/con between flashes and piggybacks? Also info about the eurocharged tune and features of the handheld?

Surely

Start here and then we will talk more specifically when I get to work.



Combine your tune with our BMW MYGenius Handheld Programmer for easy switching between files.

http://www.eurocharged.com/images/Euro_mygenius.jpg
What does this mean to you?

Well you will now have the capabilities of flashing and reflashing your car in the convenience of your own home, and you keep the flasher for future use!

MyGenius is the most versatile instrument ever invented for serial programming through OBDII.

It uses all recent communication protocols (K-Line, Can and J1850), which allows us to read and write the ECU of most vehicles. MyGenius is able to store the original (stock) file and multiple tune files on the internal memory card. The user can swap between files whenever it’s convenient.

The MYGenius Kit Contains:

F32MYGENIUS - MYGENIUS TOOL
F32GN024 - OBDII CABLE
C32GNUSB01 - USB CABLE
CUSBKEY - USB KEY with SOFTWARE

To update the MyGenius is really simple. The owner needs an internet connection and a few minutes to download what they need from our database, which allows the MyGenius to be able to communicate with a large number of vehicles / ecus. The MyGenius is an all-purpose OBDII flasher with excellent features.

MyGenius is also very easy to use. It will show you the steps to follow during the reading and writing of the ECU, with detailed instructions.

No more sending in your ECU before visiting the dealer for routine service!

We offer a 7 day money back guarantee on our tunes. If you don't like it, we will remove it and set you back to stock at no charge.
*note MyGenius sales are non refundable once the unit has been used on your car. Because the unit is VIN locked when "mated" to a DME, it will not be able to be restocked after it's 1st use.

F.A.Q.

Who is Eurocharged?
A: Eurocharged Performance opened its doors in January of 2009 with the support of many friends and family members. We knew we could provide high quality Mercedes, BMW, and other European aftermarket parts to the public cheaper than the competition, while still maintaining quality and performance. After the merging of L.E.T. Motorsports and Eurocharged, we wasted no time finding a shop, purchasing the needed equipment for fabrication, hiring key people in the industry, and building an inventory of high quality parts ready to ship to the customer when ordered.

Eurocharged Performance acquired the inventory / rights to LET Motorsports and their products. LET had made the decision to focus on the software development, leaving the crucial hardware development to Eurocharged. We now have the ability to tune most European vehicles and provide high quality, affordable aftermarket parts to complement one another.

Today at Eurocharged, we have a global dealer network that allows us to better serve customers and enthusiasts on 6 continents, while also implementing our master plan of worldwide domination :drevil (ok... just kidding about that last part).

Are these tunes 1 file you distribute to everyone?

[Avetiso]

So I have a question: Shark technically gives more gains on a stock car, but if you are running mods, Eurocharged will net you more gains in the end, right?

[UdubBadger]

Essentially we can try to extract more power out of your specific set up than a run of the mill "canned" tune will because they don't account for any of the specifics. The Shark will tune every car its uploaded to the same and give them all the same output perimeters regardless of what mods you have. This will leave your power gains up to chance with how well the sharks tune works with them. With a true ECU flash such as ours, we are able to take into account everything you have on the car and tailor the tuning to that specific set up which can easily be more efficient and in many cases make more gains. We can also change these to make it run differently or if new mods are added so everything continues to work symbiotically on the car for the best performance.

would it be better to have a GruppeM intake and the TSE3 exhaust or stock intake + KN drop filter + TSE3 exhaust for power?

This is exactly what I was thinking. Since I have a TSE3 exhaust now, I don't see a reason to have it anymore if it is just for sound.

[UdubBadger]

Seth,

would it be better to have a GruppeM intake and the TSE3 exhaust or stock intake + KN drop filter + TSE3 exhaust for power?

Yeah the kn setup is likely better. If you want an intake for power with the tse3 grab an afe stage 1. Best intake gains out there.

Gotcha. Thanks Seth. AFE + euro charge and tse3 sounds like the combo for me. :)

[UdubBadger]

Gotcha. Thanks Seth. AFE + euro charge and tse3 sounds like the combo for me. :)

That's what I ran on my zhp.


Well plus some headers, its pulls violently (for a zhp anyway) with that setup.

[derbo]

Well plus some headers, its pulls violently (for a zhp anyway) with that setup.

Unfortunately I bet the headers will be the majority of the power since it removes the cats. Since I have to deal with smog, I'll leave the manifold factory.

But I will let you know Seth. Hopefully soon. :) The extra funds I was anticipating, didn't pan out.

[UdubBadger]

Yeah it helped but we even made some good additional power over just headers with the tuning.


No worries I am always here :)

[derbo]

What kind of power numbers does AFE + TSE3 with the eurocharged tune? I know every car is different but I'm looking for a general idea.

[UdubBadger]

Best case scenario 12-15whp. The 4k dip sometimes really kills the mojo of the powerband. Remember the bulk of why the tune changes the car drastically isn't the peak but more so the gap we get in the mid rpms. That's what makes the car come alive.

[derbo]

Absolutely. I am definite interested in more 3.5-6K powerband.

[UdubBadger]

Aren't we all? ;)

[derbo]

Aren't we all? ;)

Perhaps. :)

Do it Vas- I went by a couple of weeks ago and got them to tune my car. I love it. Nearly eliminated throttle lag, feels like it pulls much better in the mid-RPMs, overall much peppier. Exhaust and intake each made the car a little better, but the tune made it come alive.

Got a chance to drive this car. Car with an intake,exhaust and a tune is much more alive compared to my stock zhp.

Powerband feels much smoother especially in the mid-range. Biggest improvement though is in the electronic gas pedal. With a tune, the car is more responsive and you can actually rev match.

Seriously considering this now.

Dammit! Going to be over 200 miles round-trip from where I am....

Hehe jk.
Would you be able to give me a ballpark estimate of the cost of a tune? Or will I have to contact them directly either over the phone/email or in person after an inspection?

[UdubBadger]

Just pm me

Congrats!

Tried reading through a lot of this thread, got bored, sorry:

What is the price of the Eurocharge tune? And it looks like there may be a place in Durham that could do it, yes?

[UdubBadger]

Pm for pricing

Seth tried calling the Houston Office and its says its got a new phone number ( (713) 462-1600), but that leads me to a number in Buffalo NY? Do you have the correct #? Secondly what do you know about the new Eurotuner V2...utilizing the OBDII to USB cable and downloaded tunes via your comp to avoid having to ship the ECU from now on? Thanks.

[TigerTater]

I think I can buy this http://www.amazon.com/OBD2-Diagnostic-Cable-KKL409-1-VAG-COM/dp/B002WIN8VQ and there is downloaded software on Eurocharged site now under document section...this would be great if thats the purpose...so much quicker and now don't have to pay shipping fees!

[UdubBadger]

You'll have to confirm use with Jerry.

Didn't know we changed numbers but you can always email.

Not sure where to post this, but I assume this is a good a place as any as I think it has something to do with my tune. So headers are installed o2 sensors in proper place. Sent my ecu in to be re flashed and whatever y'all do for the o2 sensors. It was sent to Houston got it back a couple weeks ago. I have been battling a CEL light since then. Consistently receiving a P0041 (O2 Sensor Signals Swapped Bank 1 Sensor 2/ Bank 2 Sensor 2). I have since tried switching the sensors around (round plugs to the right) (swapped plugs) and to no avail the light comes back on. I'm at a loss at what to do. I got my code reader diagnostic software hooked up and per the readout it's showing 0 voltage going to one of the sets of sensors. I'm not sure if the wrong ones were turned off or what? I tried switching the front sensors around (ones on the left, square plug) to see if that may be it and that definitely didn't work (rough idle, sputtered) Any insight would be great. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/04/6ypyqepy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/04/4uhuta9a.jpg

I haven't contacted Houston yet, I've been trying to troubleshoot my end and make sure I didn't screw up the sensors or something like that. I'm planning on calling Monday.

So my CEL has magically disappeared, but when I run the code reader it says 1 stored code..same one P0041. My CEL light is gone so im happy about that...car runs fine. I would like to clear the "stored code" but im scared it will make it come back on? Is this common for a CEL light to just go away?

[UdubBadger]

In threw that code too. Engine is likely adapting to new settings.

Word. Good deal thanks. I'll just let the code ride as long as no CEL.

What did p0041 read out as?


Goin' HAM mobile

[TigerTater]

O2 Sensor Signals Swapped Bank 1 Sensor 2/ Bank 2 Sensor 2....im guessing thats BMW specific...

[UdubBadger]

Had that too and it got fixed somehow

[TigerTater]

So this p0041 code is still lingering. I have contacted Eurocharged Houston and they said that I must have the sensors swapped for this code to be occurring. I got under the car today and verified that the sensors are in the right locations and also made sure the wires were clear and intact all the way to the top. This is really getting aggravating because it's not allowing my car to show "readiness" and so therefore I can't pass an inspection to get my sticker...any ideas from anyone would be great...has anyone with headers had this happen ?


Sent from my iPhone 13

[UdubBadger]

This will fix it regardless.

So I read about it...what does it do, o2 sim? How do you connect it to my ecu...? Not really looking to pay another 200$ to deal with this...as I've not heard many ppl having the code I got from doing headers

[TigerTater]

One more question...when I called and talked to someone last week they told me that the rear sensors are turned off..,if that's the case they why is the ecu saying they're swapped...do they need to be on to know they're not swapped?

Possibly, I mean that might make sense. Who did you talk to? Jerry?
