Jbeem 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 I have a 335i and am looking for a remap/tune. I've been speaking to Torque performance who are local to me which is handy. They seem pretty professional and are saying I should get about 45kw and 100nm out of a reliable street tune/remap. Has anyone used them or have any experience in dealing with them? Any other tuners out there you guys would recommmend/have used? Any guidance appreciated! J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 That doesn't sound an unreasonable increase for a forced-induction engine. Bear in mind that you will need to be absolutely on top of all servicing and maintenance, much more so than if your engine was left stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I've not done a remap, a lot of people have recommended Gavin @ Hi-Velocity (assuming he's till doing remaps) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 A remap on my 320d easily raises power from 150 to 190+ bhp, and torque by a similar percentage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will get more power gains if you remove your primary cats and get downpipes As I need the feature to change maps, I have opted another route for my tune's - but I would recommend Gavin @ Hi-Velocity - as pretty much all my dyno/tuning runs were done there when dialing in my tune That doesn't sound an unreasonable increase for a forced-induction engine. Bear in mind that you will need to be absolutely on top of all servicing and maintenance, much more so than if your engine was left stock. ^^ Common issues once the power is tuned up on the platform is misfire issues caused by old spark plugs/coil packs @gym - Motiv just set the world record on the E9x platform with a stock n54 engine with a single turbo upgrade over the E9x M3's with their upgraded internals & supercharger kits http://www.bimmerboost.com/content.php?5325-The-BMW-N54-horsepower-record-stands-at-829-wheel-horsepower-thanks-to-a-Motiv-Motorsport-single-turbo-upgraded-335i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted October 16, 2014 Whats the latest on Gavin Bellars at Hi Velocity ? Is he back up and running, or moved overseas/not tuning anymore ?Gavin is still working here. He is trying to find a new location I think so his dyno is in storage. He will tune etc but will have to use another dyno .. I think he uses one out west Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jbeem 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Hey thanks for the replys guys. Torque quoted me 1000 bux for the remap and two hours on the dyno. They said they have done heaps for 335is. Beeker2 what sort of increase in power/torque did you see and on what vehicle? I might need to do coils and plugs as she's running a bit rich based on the exhaust smoke.

My recommendation is a Cobb Accessport 3 which is a complete reflash. $1,150 at current exchange rates. Average power gains at the wheels of 30% HP and 38% torque. Don't go for a piggyback.
