N52 Dyno Tune?

Icemilkteaa · 01-13-2015, 02:07 PM

Has anyone done a custom tune on the N52 motor? I was wondering how much power you guys got out of it and how much it cost you guys to do.

Tom Droze · 01-13-2015, 02:14 PM

I just installed the Active Autoworker's tune and picked up about 15 horsepower. A tune is money well spent.

Damn, that's sweet. Can you post the chart?

If you want a dyno tune, contact OE Tuning in your area.

Look for my recent post "AA Tune Performance Results."

Oh - I saw that a few days ago but didn't realize it was you. I thought you actually had it dyno'd before and after the tune. Your review is really good. I need to get this done, but not sure where in my area to go.

I bought the personal programer from AA and did it myself.

How much did you spend to gain that 15hp?

$762.32, but in addition to the additional horsepower, the throttle lag is gone and the low and mid-range power increase is very noticeable. The tune really transformed the way the car performs.

That was expensive! You didn't buy it on sale?

That does seem on sale - the tune cost is 450 and the handheld tuner is 350.

I thought it was 599? Or 699 for the package deal.

That might have been the price when it came with the Simon personal programmer, now it comes with the Powergate personal programmer.

Ahhh, I see.

Can you just buy the programmer and just update the stock ecu on your own? or do you have to buy the tune in order for it to work?

Plus one,

I want to know since I haven't researched the matter.

Tom Droze · 01-14-2015, 01:25 PM

You can buy the programmer separately.

not with AA. you can with the OFT, but you have to make the tune yourself.
