XHP Reviews and Feedback!

[underdonk]

which version you using?
you have the sport plus open?

Looks like I'm running v1.1. I do have Sport Plus enabled but it does not play well with xHP. Transmission is currently set to Sport and xHP performs as it should (smooth and fast). It's actually on my list to disable Sport Plus this weekend as I'm just not using it anymore. With the JB4, the engine is set to Sport as well.

from what i understand, the v1.0 should work much better
maybe try that before you disable the sport plus

I ran v1.0 with the same results. Very rough shifting. The two obviously weren't made to work together. Running v1.1 in Sport is significantly improved over running Sport Plus without xHP or with v1.0.

I drive paddles at all times. So the only real benefit I’ll get from this is faster shift speed..

I believe our stock trans is about 200ms? Anyone have proven shift speed times using paddles on stage 2/3?

I really only do 40-140 rolls but there’s a couple shifts in there that I could speed up with this system

How would one prove this? I'm not being obtuse, I really don't know. Subjectively, it's faster and smoother using the paddles, but has other configuration options that are of benefit during certain situations. Now I am being obtuse: Why only 40-140 rolls? Street racing? (I'm not the police)

Subjectively faster isn’t exactly what sells for me. I’m not sure if xhp is claiming any shift speeds publicly, or if anyone managed to record actual times; I’d like to be informed on either.

40-140 is where these cars really shine. Some people record 60-120 but there’s another gear change in a proper 40-140 roll, hence why this tune is even more useful

Would you believe them if xHP posted numbers? Do I believe I'm going to get 12-14hp from the MSTv2 intake I bought? I'm not trying to convince you, but you have a post full of people reporting quicker, smoother, and more responsive shifting and we're not trying to sell you on it. Take a look at the BMW forums, as well, going back years and years about their product - for the B58 and otherwise. When you buy shit from Amazon do you ignore the ratings?

Yeah, this car is fantastic at speed. Every BMW I've owned has been (I don't say that ironically). You reminded me that I need to pull out the Dragy before I make some change so I can get a good baseline...

I’m not asking if this is snake oil. I’m reaching out to the data collectors we have here to see if we have any real life numbers yet

dragy 60-130

I switched up the m-blips setting from 9% to 14% a couple of days ago. Been driving the car around and have to say, I can't really tell the difference, either in speed or pops and bangs. Should I have been able to tell with this percentage increase? Reading some responses here, I assumed I would have been able to. For those enabling this setting, what % have you landed on?

They finally have implemented a couple of features that I've been testing for them. It's pretty nice.

Building big boost on launch sounds beautiful. Override first gear at all times also sounds useful for the track or your mountain hairpin.

I’m gonna have to re-flash again today and play around with some of the new stuff.

I'm not sure what they're doing with the trans for building boost at launch. That's more a tuner thing, not something I tested, unless it's a heat management thing.

I noticed after bumping up my power with MHD to stage 2, that xhp shift points in the default XHP stage 3 map are a bit early. Gonna adjust these out to be a bit later using a more aggressive preset.

Anyone limiting torque per gear on the trans level?
