Same as hutch mine will slip in 5th 3k roll on. Want to see if I can get a Cobb backend for my early production 12' hoping that will cure the problem

Ok, so just to rule out any other variable I went out and ran several pulls on different maps. I also splashed in 2 gal of 93 to lighten the e% in an effort to lower tq slightly.
After changing the fuel mixture, and being that I havent ran map 5 in some time, I wanted to try map 5 to see if it could adjust throttle body, octane and other settings that may have changed with map6. First pull felt great and logged great as well. I was excited at first but also knew that map 5 is a learning map so I wanted to another pull to dial in the map. As expected, as the increase in boost prompted throttle closing and flat line in rpm and felt like the car was slipping again Newguy and I chatted for a bit and he suggested map 2 as a try. I ran map 2 and the car hooked up like its supposed to and the log looks great. Concluding that the n55 dct with higher power maps and PURE turbo is enough to make the DCT slip (also makes it get worse over time) without the backend flash. This really sucks for the 2012 + n55 DCT guys as we basically can only get min power gains with all the money in fbo and a stg1 turbo without putting the tranny at risk. I have a couple of ideas how to work around this but i need to make a couple of calls to see if it is even an option. 1. map 5 - 4th gear pull - first pull/learning pull on map 5 2. map 5 adopted - 3rd to 4th - maps learns, raises boost, causes slip 3. map 2 - altho the weakest map, the pure does allow the map to hold ~14 all the way to 6500 which is still faster than stock turbo but we are leaving a lot of power on the table to say the least. |

This is pretty frustrating to say the least....I hope someone actually steps up soon or the n55 dct is going to be the laughing stock of BMWs. Terry has the means to dig deeper on this but doesn't seem like he's willing. Maybe Cobb will come through

Ditch the Piggyback get a COBB AP, problem solved, unless COBB does support your version ROM. The more you ride the slippage worse it will get to the point when you do get the COBB AP it wont matter anymore.

Created a new map 6 with peak boost of 15psi 5k tapering to 13psi 6500k. Also brought my auto shift boost back down to 50.
Car seems to handle this map well. Talked to multiple tuners last night and all of them say the tcu does not report back to the dme. If this TRULY is the case, then what in the world would be causing the throttle to close? It very well may not even be the transmission? If the throttle is closing, the power would decrease and this would also create a flat spot in RPMs. I just dont get it. If the TCU did report back to the dme then this totally makes sense but if it does NOT then that, to me, indicates that something else is going on. OH AND also, the issue did not become apparently obvious until going to ista 2.53 i-level rom version update. I did this in an attempt to get Cobb to speak with the dme (which still didnt work, go figure). I can post a before ROM log if this would be at all beneficial in the analysis? Just let me know |

Turned her back up to 17 tapering to 14. Car overall feels stronger and happier if I roll my pedal into WOT vs pushing it to WOT ASAP.
My plan is to drive her this way over the colder months; I'll likely even back it down to 14/15 peak no need for that power on snow tires in Mn. |

Maybe Some light at the end of the tunnel.
NewGuy talked with Dinan today and sounds like there may be something they can come up with to solve. Not sure if this will be a transmission flash, replacement chip, or require their full stage 4 software tuning - either way, I'd be open to any of the options if they pan out! I've been searching around more and looked into the Alpina B3 transmission flash. I'm not sure if this is possible (emailed Alex) but if it is I have to assume that it would help? More to come... |

In the begining of WOT tappering to 18.7 PSI @ 6000 RPMs tells me by time you hit your 3rd consecutive gear you will be 20 PSI straight across with no tapper ? Also I just went back and took a look at your pwm, hes keeping that tighten down; I asume your DCI modded also. So I dont see huge torque coming from this to pose a threat to the DCT. I may be wrong unless you have a dyno ? Last edited by BQTuning; 10-15-2014 at 08:18 AM.. |

I'm across what you have been working on with post shift timing, and we haven't worked on that so will try get some logs for you to have a peek at. The boost curve that I'm running is because I have RB's, and my intake system is an Injen rep. |

Interesting pole 22 out of 51 users have a slipping DCT or have experienced slippage. I wonder how many are stock, tune only and FBO TUNE. Also what tune or piggy you have experienced slippage with
