Dinan tuning for the Supra

[Deleted member 4362]

Looks like another US-based BMW tuner has joined the party...

So is this like a jb4 alternative?

Seems closer to stuff like RaceChip, the VR Tuned box... with installed maps and not as comprehensive logging as a JB

As someone who owned an E36 M3 back in the '90s, it's good to see Dinan enter the game. At least back then they were known as a top-tier BMW parts provider. This seems a step above, but I wonder how this compares to the JB+ in terms of max gains.

Dinan typically offers warranty stuff on their tunes but I’m not sure how it works for this. Does jb+ offer that?

The benefit of Dinan is that BMW doesn’t hood the warranty on their parts.. but we don’t have a BMW warranty ? id stick with jb4

Steve Dinan is no longer a part of Dinan. He created a new company called CarBahn Autoworks. Just an FYI in case it were to make any difference to anyone.

Bummer - thanks for the heads-up. Had no idea.

Clarification on this issue as it comes up a lot. BMW treats all aftermarket companies the same, Dinan does not get any special treatment. If a dealership decides not to do a specific job for free, it won't matter whether you have Dinan or JB4.

Dinan matches BMW's warranty and will cover the job if it's related to their tune and the dealership decides to not do it. Please note that this only applies to Dinan flash tunes and not piggybacks. So this product is not included.

As mentioned in a previous post, Dinan is similar to Race Chip, Vr, etc... Its a simpler to install tune vs the Jb4 but will lack some features.

Noob question, Is it similar to the JB4 where it "tricks" the ecu to provide more boost?

yes

Dinan has always been very conservative, for people who want the ease of install and the brand name probably a decent option. Last week I bought a dp off a supra that had the AC Shnizter tuning box, did not know it even existed, looks like this is prob very similar. I would stick with JB4

So, this is just another piggyback?, similar to the JB4? I’ve read the install
Instructions, seems that if you don’t follow the sequences in regards to making sure there is no residual voltage, u can really screw up your car!

That's correct. This is another piggyback.
