Dinan Stage 2 Update

olehead · 04-10-2019, 03:00 PM

From feedback from Dinan it appears the next tune will be flash tune - was not able to get a projected date -

Scadam · 04-15-2019, 06:47 AM

Sucks that we got put on the back burner

Someone here (don't recall who) said Dinan or a retailer or ??? had told him early 2020. The reason was that Dinan is focused on the S58.

Not cool dinan. Don't give us target dates if you're not gonna cone close to them.

Yeah, I called 4-5 times over the last year and a half and each time it was pushed back until recently telling me the beginning of 2020. Definitely a flash tune and said "definitely more power over Stage 1" but he also wasn't familiar with the fuel limit issue on the B58.
I wasn't waiting any longer so a month ago I got the MP tune.

I just heard from Dinan and they are working very hard to get the stage 2 tune out this qtr which means I hope by the end of June -

Lets hope. Also lets hope they thoroughly test it before release.

olehead · 04-16-2019, 02:54 PM

I have actually agreed to Beta Test the tune

Fuel limit issue? I haven't heard about that before. What does that entail?

I'm pretty happy with my Stage 1 V1, but I wouldn't be opposed to more power. Seems like the B58 has been ignored for quite some time by Dinan. A stage 2 would take my $$$ pretty quickly.

greg21040 · 04-16-2019, 06:30 PM

I'm not bashing Dinan or JB4, but I went from the Dinan to the JB4 and now the Mission Performance Stage 2. I was happy with each, but continually sought more. lol
I really love the MP tune. From what I gather there are a few other flash tunes that I assume are equal, but I can't speak to them. I don't have first hand knowledge of them.
So, during my quest I learned a lot on here. The B58 has a fuel restriction that limits it to a certain amount. Once you get to about 450whp (an estimate I read) you'll max out the fuel and your AFR will be too lean.
If you want to move forward you'll need to have a supplemental fuel supply like water methanol injection.
Search B58 fuel limit and read up. There are some really knowledgeable guys that explain it much better than I can.

USA-RET · 04-16-2019, 08:18 PM

I'd be plenty happy with 430-450 WHP and equal WTQ numbers.

This car is a blast in the 400 at the wheels, and with MP releasing reworked HPFP fairly soon, sh!t it gonna get crazy!

They contacted you to test it because you're on the list?

olehead · 04-17-2019, 01:09 PM

I offered as our car sees a lot of track time which is the true test.

Olehead have you been flashed yet? Quarter 2 is halfway over. Hopefully they have started testing.

olehead · 05-07-2019, 05:31 AM

no

olehead · 05-09-2019, 01:42 PM

As of today still in calibration - NO ETA

USA-RET · 06-13-2019, 10:13 AM

Bumping this thread.....

Any news on release?

I'd like to get the stage 2 while my 2017 is still under warranty

baldeagleman · 06-13-2019, 10:21 AM

Doesnt the MHD tune solve the fuel cap problem?

I am pretty sure there is a physical limitation that needs to be addressed that can't be solved with a tune, ..... of course, you could use meth, or e85.
I think the good news is that the new B58 vehicles have a larger capacity HPFP, prob just a matter time we can grab one of those and slap it on the previous models

Talked to my independent BMW tech / Dinan tech last week about it. He said he talked to Dinan and it looks like Beta later this Summer. If I were to guess I would say end of Summer.
