Ess custom flash 400+hp

mankid247 · 05-05-2015, 09:12 AM

Just got my ecu back from ess yesterday, I have not have the car dyno'd yet with the new tune but with my old bms stage 1 my numbers 354hp and 362tq this was also reflected on the built in car hp/tq gauge now the gauge limits out at 400 a few seconds before the car shifts

can't wait to get her on a dyno

Post a video of the sport displays limiting out at 400. I've always been under the impression sport displays are a gimmick.

The sports "hp" display is not a true calculation... I would not use that as a gauge of anything other than impressing someone in your car.

I believe the sport gauges get messed up with a piggyback tune. On ECU tuned cars they read accurate.

I've just booked an appointment with ESS in Norway in two weeks, gonna drive there from Sweden to get my M135i's ECU flashed.

How are you liking the tune so far? what does yr butt-dyno say?

Any solid feedback on how the car feels post ECU flash ? The sports display / gimmick is a novelty. Whats the butt dyno say ?

I was thinking the same thing until 2 dynos later and the sports display read accurately for both I'm inclined to believe it is accurate, either way butt dyno says very very fast, much faster then the stage 1 tune also I'm running Remus exhaust gintani down pipe and afe intake

Can you validate your butt dyno with Vbox data or the like ?
