Mixed feelings on this car. 350z and the 370z were my dream cars at one point. And I still love the 370z in its stock form.
This Z? Not sure. Sounds like crap (stock), and not sure how reliability will hold up when tuned.
Only real advantage it has over a stock Mk5 is the biturbo setup for...
Contemplating getting a catless downpipe so I can go stage 2 OTS from bm3.
Anybody know the power gains from stage 1 to stage 2 on an OTS map?
Expecting a big change since I'm still running stock dp on stage 1.
Nothing can replace the classic JDM cars of the 90's. Those cars managed to create a legacy of their own that can never be forgotten.
With that being said, I believe the Mk5 Supra finds itself in a very niche position. This car has the most 2Jz-like engine you can find in this day and age. And...
Reading above I noticed a lot of posts mentioning that each platform (ecutek, BM3, MHD etc) used the same tuning tables.
I use an OTS map from BM3, would this tune be the same quality as an EcuTek OTS map? Or MHD OTS map?
Or is it only the custom tunes which differ in quality on their...
No problem! ? I do tend to agree with you. It seems we have basically the same conclusion.
Your observation with the software version being 2 years out of date for the map actually makes sense then as to why you are getting the same error I did on a stock standard car as my dme is from 2019...
Cool! I think I have more perspective now. I had the exact same issue. Basically what Bm3 support told me to do was ignore the bench unlock warning, as my DME was unlocked. And told me to flash to stock and lock, flash to stock unlock, and then flash with the OTS map.
Did the app give you the...
Have had it happen with my car before. Usually if it hasn't been driven for a few days, but its not a certainty.
Its very rare and the rough start doesn't go on for long (maybe 2 seconds longer). During that time I hear the engine sort of start itself twice if that makes sense.
I'd say this...
Yup! Can confirm the scale on the right is for knock. And yes, all values are less than 1, even on a WOT pull im not seeing anything close to 1 knock. Seen some posts about tuned BMWs pulling 14 knocks on some WOT pulls ?
Thanks for your input, I do appreciate it ?
I managed to datalog for the first time today. Stage 1 91 Octane. The knock peaks at 0.4 in this sample, and there seems to be consistent knock when accelerating as per the graph. Is this normal or significant?
The 2 indicators in the graph are Acceleration (Pedal%) and Knock Detected [0-n]...
I did end up upgrading the turbo inlet with my CAI. No issues with the hose. Just had to be really careful with it by pinching the sides and it came right off.
Reading all the posts. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this matter.
All the performance parts shops I've spoken to are saying the same things. I guess I didnt want to believe them since they are out to make money lol.
Ah! I totally get it now. Thanks! I follow all those precautions, I'm very strict when it comes to opening and closing the garage door when starting the car.
I feel a little more at ease reading your post. Downpipe is the last part I need to complete my car and I've been reading hundreds of...
So if I read correctly. Are you saying the CO does not dispel from the exhaust when the car is turned off? Or the garage door itself stops CO from entering?
Thanks for the reply by the way! ?
So basically my house has a connected garage.
Here's my worry. Will a catless downpipe cause excessive fumes, and exhaust smell to enter My house?
I dont idle, or warmup my car in the garage. Basically, I start the car and exit straight away and close the garage door. And when I enter the...
My exhaust flap stopped working after I got a muffler delete. Transfered the actuator to my new exhaust setup, but the flap stays open.
I am guessing it is the pin for the actuator which may not be installed correctly, but I don't mind the flaps always open so I never bothered to look into it.
