DPF Delete Pipe & ECU Reflash Source

[bawareca]

Yeah, this can get very expensive before it even has begun. Our specific DDE (diesels) is sealed with a special PU, similar as the one used for the windshields. The only way to read/write is to open it to connect to the processor boot pin. Openning the DDE has a lot of risks involved and i wonder how many tuners are ready to take responsibility if someone's DDE does not work anymore. R/W with cheap chineese tools also hides huge risks. I dont say anything bad about the guy advertised in the first post, just revealing some sides that most people dont think of.
I didnt even started with the short and long term effects that improper tuning may have on the engine and subsystems. Generally this engine is almost indestructible, except if someone wants to do this on purpose. But if someone wants to leave the emission related parts on the car and just get a few HP extra, improper tune may clog the DPF in just a few hundred miles. As with all things in life there are proper ways to do something and there are shortcuts.

Thank you Lambeau for promoting our product online. I was gladly surprised to see our product advertised online even before we joined the boards.

Right now I would like to take some time to introduce our company to you guys. We have started contributing to BMW world back in 2011/2012 when we built a first E39 540i with Roots/Twin screw supercharger just to say that is possible. Also we have been responsible for doing numerous custom swaps from E46 M62 swaps to E38 S62 builds to Authentic E39 M5 touring builds. All of the work we have done was performed in house and all tuning and software aspects of the swaps have been done by us. We have tools for tuning (and soon will be selling diesel tunes for) Fxx cars including F30/F31 Diesel. We already have read out F31 328D software and now building custom maps for it. So we hope you guys can see that we are not new to tuning and custom work.


We do not spend too much time on boards, but that is something we are going to slowly get into to as most of our customers are you guys, the board members.

To all of our local board members, we hope to see you at BimmerFest in few weeks. We are bringing S62 E39 Wagon, Our testing platform E70 35D, SC S62 built 1997 540i and a 2014 328D wagon.


Now you guys feel free to ask questions regarding this product that we are releasing as well as anything else.

Yes, it is a risky business, and this is why there are no USA based companies offering the services. Yes a new tuner probably can open the computer, and tune it with basic torque limit increase. That will give you power increase but like bawareca said, that will have negative effects on your car, especially if you have DPF still attached. Such tune will also kill the 6hp26 trans that our cars are fitted with.

On other hand, our tune is tailored to your needs. We have modified over 70 important addresses in the file to address post injection (for DPF deleted cars), Soot control, Pilo Injections, Smoke maps and many more. We also increased torque reduction and de-bounce timers for gear shift to prevent damage to transmission.


Regarding opening the computers. Yes, for someone new to this, this is not an easy task. It can take close to an hour for a new tuner to take it apart, and hope they dont damage one of the chips or the traces on the board. But thanks to a little tool we created, it only takes 5 minutes for us to take one apart with 100% success rate. this is something we guarantee to your customers.Because we are an actually USA based company, if, for any reason, we damage the electronics of customer's computer, we are responsible for replacing it. Customer satisfaction is something we take serious up here.

There is at least one other US based offering for M57 tuning and it happens to be me and my company. After more than 6 months development on a multiple X5 I am almost ready to release the tune for the public. However there are few things that still hold me back. I would never offer a tune without a dyno charts and comparisons back-to-back with stock. In a 21st century claims for 10,20, 30% increase just do not cut it. It is a bit complicated and expensive to book a full day at a 4wd dyno (multiple tunes from stock to stage 4 has to be tested and documented)
Other thing that is important to me is that regardless I am active member here and try to help many members with their problems, I dont feel Ok to advertise without contributing financially to this great forum.
But just as a teaser, our Stage 1, which is completely stock engine, is projected at 320hp and 480tq. Stage 2, which needs only EGR OFF, should be over 350hp and 400tq and stage 3, EGR and DPF OFF, is virtually limitless. My partner Raymond (TRF performance from Norway) has an E46 race car with M57, which on a single turbo makes 450hp and over 550tq.

This is exactly why we do not advertise or even participate on any boards. I dont know why, but People like bawareca always have to start drama out of thin air. We joined the xoutpost with only one purpose, and that is to introduce ourselves AFTER seeing that one of our customers decided to post our product up. We are not here to sell our product as its not for general sale YET. Once it is posted on our new website, then we will have no problem of becoming board sponsors.

I stand 100% behind the statement Bawareca quoted in above post. At the moment I posted that statement, there were no companies in USA offering this service/product. Even he states that his company is "almost ready to release the tune to public". "Almost" mean that you are planning on releasing it at some point. Plain and simple. Have you done real world testing? Have you towed 9000lb load with your EGR-OFF tune? Have you done that up Big Bear mountain that is 7000ft in altitude? Have you put thousands of miles on the tune and inspected the motor, turbos,transmission, differential, etc? No you have not. SO PLEASE, dont start drama on the boards.

Why is there no Dyno chart for our product? First of all, we are not claiming specific power gains. The tune we offer right now is to SUPPORT EGR, DPF, and SCR delete. That is is. Are there power gains? Absolutely. Are we claiming any specific numbers? Not YET. We are waiting to tune our shop's F31 328D and throw both cars on a dyno.


EDC17 computers are capable of ridiculous numbers. Does that mean that your 6hp26 trans will hold it? NOPE. Show us a proof of your test X5 holding 800+NM of torque after 1000 miles of extreme abuse. You cant because the trans in 35D/335d as well as transfer case are extremely week for the torque this engines can produce

So again, please stop causing drama.

C'mon you guys: we love you both and we don't care who's penis is longer

What drama?

[Lambeau]

Alex at BimmerOEM has been nothing but perfect as I performed this modification. I've sent numerous emails & texts with questions through the process and Alex has answered every inquiry and phone call I've made. The quality of the DPF delete pipe is perfect and the install was easy. 100% perfect and I've pulled a good sized trailer for well over 1000 miles already and will be taking a 9000 mile trip to Alaska & return starting this month. No worries at all for this trip.

[bawareca]

I do not measure any parts of my body, neither i need tuning to make them more capable. For competitions there are dynos and there are drag strips.
Sorry if someone found drama in my posts. There is no such intentions whatsoever. I didnt join this forum or any other, ever, to advertize anything. I am just a die hard BMW fan who happens to make living in this shi++y car business.

After I installed the computer upon having it sent from Alex I've had zero issues at all. My X now has unbelievable performance and am VERY glad I did this. If you do this you will be very pleasantly surprised with the power and MPG increase. Start my drive from Florida to Wisconsin early tomorrow pulling a 3200# trailer. Before I did this I was averaging 16.5 MPG pulling the trailer. I'll report on the MPG's when I get to Wisconsin in a few days.

Alex also updated my computer as it was a while since that was done. He can better explain exactly what he did. He also reprogrammed it to get rid of the throttle lag like what the Sprintbooster would do.

Overall VERY happy with every aspect of this mod. I would never own a diesel without doing this.

[Lambeau]

Pulled the 3K# cargo trailer from FL to WI and averaged 18.2 MPG at mostly 74 MPH. 2000 miles and not a single check engine light. 4000 miles since I changed the transmission fluid/filter and have had no catastrophic transmission failure like some here have predicted. 105,000 miles on this transmission too.
