Take 3: Vishnu 335i coupe Tuning Update

sstarch1 · 10-31-2006, 03:35 PM

For right now, i think shiv wants to personally install the XEDE as to avoid any hiccups when shipping them out to customers for personall install.

More like good customer service. He wants to make sure the product works as advertised before shipping it out. I applaud him for that.

I wonder how many people will get the 93 octane and 100 octane tune. I'd like to see what she'll do on 100 octane in the 1/4 mile.

sstarch1 · 10-31-2006, 07:03 PM

I will get the 93 octane...and boy oh boy.

Lame only because I really want one NOW!!! I know deep down it is the best business decision... but that doesn't change my need for immediate gratification

I would love to see this happen

It's about to have a high quality catback exhaust on it, too.

Matt

I am in on this 330 tune! Im running Eisenmann catback so should be very similiar to ///Matt.
Lets make this happen-Matt/// start new thread and lets get some other 330 and share the costs.:rocks:

I think more people will have their cars then to, so maybe come March/April we can get 5+ people together and get this going.

Im getting mine in January, so id been down for that. Im just in Richmond Hill.

Well that's 4.

Maybe you Toronto guys who are interested (or guys who will drive here) should PM me or something and we will go from there. I'd imagine we're all looking to get it done in the March/April timeframe, with winter and all.

Maybe Chicago/Toronto should plan on doing it the same weekend, Chicago saturday, toronto sunday, or reverse. Would save shiv two flights to the eastern coasts.

Good point. Is Chicago waiting until spring too?

sstarch1 · 11-02-2006, 12:20 PM

Yes, no point in destroying out cars into a snow bank.

doctordel · 11-04-2006, 07:19 PM

As an aside, has anyone been watching the number of views this thread has received? Today it is over 58,000; 35 pages!

No pressure, Shiv

TrailBraker · 11-05-2006, 09:46 AM

I think he may sell a few here.

Cant wait to see the final products.

You should see the kind of nifty "engineering excercises" some of my friends (who work at PVO, Mazda and Mitsubishi) get to conduct. I get awfully jealous.

I am a BIG Dave Coleman fan. Just wanted to throw that out there.

lol... Dave's a good friend of mine who I've known for nearly 10 years. We've worked together and many capacities (as writers, tuners, racers, car geeks, etc,.) He did, however, get pw3nd by us at the last 24hrs of Lemons race (we both entered CRXs). If you ever meet or talk to him, don't forget to remind him of that

I'm not sure. But as it looks right now, the free tuning offer will only last until the end of year. After that, we'll have to charge the usual $300-350 extra, per car, for custom tuning.

-shiv

sstarch1 · 11-06-2006, 07:11 AM

Any advantage to this custom tuning?

Since i would be buying the same exhaust and xede with the 93oct map as everyone else who does, i would think that the products would come optimized. Dont think you would charge me more money to optimize your own product right?

Shiv,

As I understand it, you'll be coming to WPB, FL in mid - late Dec. for the S. FL Xede install, dyno, tuning day. Have you installed the Xede-only kit into any 335i's yet? If so, any updates on results? Thanks.

11-06-2006, 11:09 AM

I so cant wait for him to come to S. florida to tune this thing.

MuskratJoe · 11-06-2006, 02:40 PM

I tried to read thru this thread, but man is it long. Can somebody tell me what #'s shiv has gotten up to?

Whats the latest rwhp and tourque for xede and exhaust on 93pump?
