I'd agree, K&N doesn't do much if anything. You have to replace to box to get any real gains.

wow good runs, c6's are hard to catch on the highway....
and yea the new c6 just got crazier, can't believe what the new z06 (ss, z07, blue devil, whatever they're gonna call it) is goin to be 600hp and lighter...freakin' crazy your result sound pretty consistent with Walked U's encounter with a vette...he took the c6 by IIRC half a car with just procede and catback, but that c6 was probably automatic.... |

I think that the 335 Procede does pretty good against the vette. The vette also weighs about 400lbs less than the 335, so it should win. The 335 needs more than 400hp to the crank to beat it! Still a good race though.

How does the ECU control the wastegate? How fast is the actuation from WOT to Lift (shift) back to WOT? Since some people are seeing this issue with the Steptronic, does this transmission also open the wastegate on shifts?

RE: throttle delay - could it be a torque management program?
I'd have to search around for my source, but I do recall reading that one of the nanny programs attempts to control engine torque during a downshift in order to limit the possibility of engine braking causing a stability issue. An example of this: downshifting mid-corner and losing the rear end because the revs don't match and the rears literally brake loose.
Is it possible that this torque management is occuring on upshifts as well, to limit potential wheelspin? I've experienced this delay in the 1-2 as well, but only under hard acceleration. The 330Ci I had before was also drive-by-wire and didn't have this delay, so it's either a turbo-lag effect or it's something else. It's not the CDV because others have ruled that out. The interesting thing is that while it happens most of the time, it doesn't seem to happen all of the time. I have been able to get some wheel snapping 1-2 shifts with no throttle delay (or CDV-induced clutch slippage for that matter). So what the heck gives here?!?

Help me understand the 2-3 throttle delay. I've chirped my stock rears going from 2-3 and don't feel any delay although I'll admit my 4 month old car and 2000 miles haven't done this but twice. I've not done the CDV delete yet.

Way back when in 1986 when Porsche came out with the revolutionary 944 Turbo, the ECU limited boost in 1st gear to help traction and controlled boost in other gears by looking at many variables.....so it wouldn't be surprising if this lag is intermittent as the variables for the engine changes all the time. The best person this board to answer the question is Shiv.....he has seen the maps and programming..... Shiv?

For me; 6 spd AT, the delay I have been experiencing has been "amplified" with the installation of the PROcede...In 2nd gear when I depress the accelerator about 3/4 to just shy of full the car whines up and then decides suddenly to almost "cut fuel delivery" sending you lurching forward, about 2 full seconds later it decides to shift into 3rd. It is definitely something, as PiperD mentioned, that does not occur at every 2-3 gear upshift...but there seems to be a sweet spot in the throttle position that it happens in more frequently. I'm trying to experiment in "D", "DS", and "M" modes w/ and w/o DTC/DSC to see if there's a pattern. so far I'm seeing more occurrences in "DS" w/o traction control engaged. I'm still testing it out. Once in M mode at the top of second it "cut fuel delivery" at about 5000 rpm as well. Shiv said in this thread that I need to give it more time to "adapt" but I'm not so sure right now...

hmm...
I wonder if their working on this issue at Vishnu
I have to say that it's very annoying. If there was no delay in 1-2 and 2-3 the race could have been closer between me and the C6. He gained momentum on my shifts because the car basically was just coasting for about 2 seconds each time it occurred. I tell you, first the CDV then this. I would like to drive the car, not the computer drive it for me damn it.:mad: |

Transmission: 6-speed manual I - 2.66 II - 1.78 III - 1.30 IV - 1.00 V - 0.74 VI- 0.50 You have to shift sooner in the Z51 then the base or Z06. I have the base and 1st gear redlines at 58, 2nd gear redlines at 86 and 3rd gear redlines at 117. I'm also not stock so take a couple of MPH's off those for a stock C6. It's probably closer to 55 in 1st , 82 in 2nd, 113 in 3rd and 147 in 4th for the stock. Last edited by Carnage; 05-13-2007 at 01:34 PM.. |

I installed a Forge diverter valve (recirculating, not a blow off valve), tried to adjusted my driving style and it it became a rare occurrence. The car was stock when I first felt it. Give it time. |

I started feeling this delay on my car today going from 2nd to 3rd. I used to do a reallyy nice chirp going into 3rd, but now my car falls on its face into 3rd. Even though i still get a lot of wheel spin into 2nd it doesnt seem to want to go after it gets traction. My car is stock with about 1800 miles on it. I felt the delay from 1st to 2nd right from the begining, now i started feeling it into 3rd. I even gave one of my friends a test drive and he noticed something is up after i shift. His like something is wrong with your car when you shift it shouldnt be like that its almost like your turbos turn off. It was his first time in a 335i and he noticed that shit. Im going to take my car in and see what they say.

I might Be able to Help, BMWs from 1996 and on have what’s known as a "lock valve" that slows the flow of hydraulic fluid during shifting. Its purpose is to dampen the engagement of the clutch so that no matter how quickly you let the clutch pedal out, you can’t dump it -- great for teaching a 15- year-old how to shift, but frustrating as heck for skilled drivers. No matter how hard you try, you can’t shift crisply or avoid clutch slippage. (Parallel parking is a drag, and going from 1st into 2nd is so jerky, your passengers look at you funny... once their heads stop bobbing.) One way to fix this problem is to simply remove the lock valve and force the metal hydraulic lines together. But this can crimp your lines and cause an annoying rattle. A better way is to use an "unlock valve." It’s a BMW lock valve with the restrictor removed. You’ll enjoy crisper shifts while maintaining the proper distance between the metal hydraulic lines and brackets (no crimped lines and no rattles).
