Creaver 55 Report post Posted December 15, 2017 I made 195rwkw/260rwhp on the M60B44 with reground cams using factory M60B40 ECU. Gavin did some non-boost tuning and it made ~205rwkw/275rwhp. This is my first personal experience with a standalone ECU (and re-wiring, let alone tuning one...), but I found after research, reading and speaking with knowledgeable people, the learning curve wasn't bad and I learnt a lot. The car wasn't running without the LINK and he didn't tune with boost to start with, rather safely tune off-boost and move into it. The LINK team are friendly and helpful with questions... being NZ based is also useful while the car is on the dyno and the owner (me) asks something to specifically be tuned from Gavin... literally within 5min the answer was found and we pressed on.... I am very happy with Gavin, the LINK, the tune, the build and the car! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted December 16, 2017 Thats some decent output for NA. What is the idle like with the reground cams? I remember my stock m60b40 540i had a fairly lump idle and that was normal, I was told. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With cams, the ICV was struggling to keep the idle level and it hunted. Currently sounds good, can definitely tell they're not factory! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creaver 55 Report post Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Haha, fair enough... i'm not telling porkies, rest assured. This is the only video I got of the day and it's close enough to 370 to prove it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-mlPsJxJVQ Edited December 19, 2017 by Creaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1162 Report post Posted December 19, 2017 Nice. Was that video at Gavins? Have you got a dyno printout for your more recent runs? And a video of the engine running at idle would be great too, to hear the lumpy cams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm told his dyno often reads lower than others, but meh... a dyno is a TUNING TOOL, not a bragging tool... I'll take a video in the weekend of idle. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
