Here's another. Aparently the JB4 says I have 68 E85 but im on pump 91

also perhaps worth noting

before FMIC install car was targeting 14-15lbs (and nearly making) at stage 2
after it's like 12lbs

stage 2+ gauge says 16-17 but log says only 15ish

Looks good, might wanna check cyl 5, maybe a new coil or plug

Hey guys can someone check my logs please I have been chasing down this issue where I'm not meeting boost target in 3rd gear pull on my custom tune and it's been driving me crazy. I have already replaced all vac lines, new boost selenoids, checked the VRSF chargepipe it's on tight. checked the Tial BOV everything is fine there. Anyone else care to chime in on what could it be? I have re tightened all the intercooler connections. I'm about to pull my hair out lol.

What's your boost target? Are you running the correct spring in your BOV for your boost target? Have you messed with the Waste gate arm at all? Some N54 owners have over tightened the arm. Causing the waste gate to not seat fully closed.

riczon.335i · 12-13-2019, 12:54 PM

my boost target should be 18, I'm running the ER Tial BOV that came with my oil ER chargepipe and it has the plain spring although it is not tapped into the manifold but I plan on getting the BMS BOV Adapter. I haven't messed with the wastegate arm at all afraid to mess it up ha.

your wgdc pid seems to be not working. May be check the pid tables. In the second set of logs the wgdc pid doesn't max out even during spool.

Why does my ignition timing start off so low? I understand 17+psi is a lot of boost for only a 25% E85 mix, but this happens on every single log (Maps 1, 2, and 5) even if I set a 10-12psi boost limit.

Timing just completely tanks right before boost reaches target and then some cylinders completely flat-line on shifts. It seems to mostly be cylinder 1 that flat-lines following shifts, but sometimes cylinder 1 is fine and some other random cylinder flat-lines.

I "think" once you add inlets and outlets you can't use the OTS maps and need a custom tune, but that may just be forum talk (or more likely I haven't had my coffee yet) somebody else can chime in

also what kind of log is that from? so different then the MHD logs i'm used to seeing

Log is from JB4. The MHD logs are weird to me, personally.

As far as I know, no tuning changes are required. Inlets/outlets will just help with quicker spool and holding more boost later in the RPM's. They do also flow a bit more air at an equivalent PSI. As such, the tune simply needs to support the more demanding fuel flow.

When I first installed inlets/outlets I was running JB4 only and having some issues with lean AFR's and trims maxing out. I had an O2 sensor issue which I fixed and reset adaptations much to no avail. That lead me to believe I was possibly maxing the fuel flow on the JB4 alone w/ ~25% E85 mix. I then switched to the MHD pump BEF which resolved the lean issues.

Don't take this for fact as it is nothing more than a guess, but the issue resolved upon switching to the MHD pump BEF. My assumption is that I ran out of fueling with the JB4 alone. So in my case, a tuning change was required but I think most people opting for inlets/outlets are already running flash or back-end flash tunes. I actually just bumped up to a 40% E85 mix (haven't tested but it's likely E70) and it's now running a bit lean on the low end and trims are close to maxing again. Stock fuel pumps are holding up fine. Likely need to stick to a lower E85 mix, or upgrade my LPFP so I can switch to MHD E85 BEF. Will likely opt for the latter just hesitant right now since I recently put quite a bit of money into the car.

Yep, what he said - pretty clean. You should pump the log thru - https://download.cnet.com/Virtual-Dy...-75870487.html

I would try to find a space you can log after the shift into 4th. That will put some more load on it and should let you know how close you are on timing retards and what happens when you get some heat in the IC. But in .cn I doubt you will have much of that this time of yr.

Hey guys got my flex fuel base tune and did some logs over the past week. Looks like my fuel it stage 2 buckets is dropping pressure at higher ethonal blends causing my hpfp to drop causing my stft to max out causing me afrs to increase. Is this assumption correct? Hopefully someone can answer so I can order a stage 3 lpfp ASAP because with the holidays I doubt my tuner will respond in less than a week.

Well, id have to spend some time looking but Id say you got some more things going on than just the LP pump when go from the 50 to the 60+ map. For one, the delta between load targets and actual are very small. And your getting some throttle closure in mid pull.

https://datazap.me/u/zomski101/e63-2...26&zoom=59-100

https://datazap.me/u/zomski101/e50-0...26&zoom=60-106

That wont cause the trim probs but it wont help. Id say get your tuner give you a little higher target to prevent the throttle closer and again.. Im not sure how much you might gain goin from the 50 to the 60 - I would watch for max mass air numbers. And try to get a little more in 4th gear.. 5000-6000 is best..

Primary O2 sensors were done with the new Index 12's about 25k miles ago.

Reset all adaptations through mhd and I could not get the problem to come back, seemed to drive somewhat smoother on the fwy. I have done this before though (after reflashing it resets adaptations) and it always come back eventually.

I had the surge condition on my previous n54. Started about 120K miles. Never did figure it out. Cleaned and replaced VANOS sels but it didnt really fix it long term.

I cant offer much. Mind would do it in the 1400-1600 range.. Very frustrating.. its got something to do with exhaust vanos - requested angle vs actual. The throttle plate opening and closing by like +/- 5 degrees coincides with the exhaust vanos timing.

But what is the chicken and what is the egg. Prob only bosch can tell you..

General question here :

Beside cutting the midpipe and visually checking them, is there a way to check on logs that secondary cats are still in good shape ? ( a bit afraid of their health when running tuned and catless DP for a while)

If boost value/vacuum immediately goes to -11.5psi on let off after a pull does mean there is not exhaust restriction ?
