There should be at least a .5 second (if not more) difference between the two.
I realize that the G-tech isn't a precise instrument, however at this point it seems to be the only thing that'll give you/us a definitive result.

Unfortunately I found out that it's not that simple. You have to code the ECU to your car key at BMW dealer before it works, I mean every time you want to change to a different ECU box...

At this point in time Creative will have to step up and perform this enhancement on another car preferably a 6M-325i to get some real results.

I agree, a better trial is needed to prove the gains.

Anyhow I'm happy how the car runs and feels now.

I'm going to take couple of days off to do a mini vacation with my wife, so don't be surprised if you don't hear from me.

Btw, if somebody is interested to see what I drive when I feel fast, I posted few pictures of my baby to Corvette forum.

Niiiiiiiiiiice....

I have a stock 6mt 325i and would be happy to be the mule!

[voltron1011]

Or, like someone else mentioned about finding someone with an identical car to yours, in your area. That might be hard. Here in Vegas, I can't recall seeing ANY E91's.

like i said finn
i wud be glad to be the second guniea pig here
i dont have MT, but i do have STEP.
i know its not a MT, so not maximum results, but better than the xi wud get.
if creative wants to set up another dyno, we cud swap the manifold to my car and put in the ecu. however, with wat he said about reprogramming the ecu to the car everytime might be a pain in the ass here. iono...

[esbezee92]

does real oem sell the intake manifold? i think someone needs to just bite the bullet and pay the 1k or whatever it is so we can finally find out what the deal is with this potential mod

yea, a 40hp mod for under 2k...this is in FI territory gains, we are lucky to see even 35+hp

So how much would everything cost? i need to get to selling some things!!! i NEEEEED this mod ASAP!!

I can just imagine being in third, rev-matching down to second at around 3500rpms, then letting it loose...(wets pants)... need this mod guys...creative? can you help me? lol

I think this is what you need:

The columns are: Part Desc. Quantity Part Number

INTAKE MANIFOLD 1 11617559523
ADJUSTER UNIT 1 11617560537

ADJUSTER UNIT 1 11617560538

SCREW 50X35 2 11617535850

SCREW 50X66 1 11617535851

SCREW 50X20 2 11617535849

[esbezee92]

i know from looking before that they list the part on realoem but i dont think they sell it

[bmwv]

I am wondering does that reflash procedure still take 3 to 4 weeks.

[esbezee92]

obviously im only assuming, but i would think the reflash would only take a few days now that they have actually done one, i believe the first one took longer only because they actually had to write it but now you should be able to send it in and hopefully have it back within a week.

so i think what we are looking for goes as follows: someone with a 325i MT who has another car that they are willing to drive for a week or so, is willing to do dynos at little or no cost to themselves and is able to document this whole procedure. Does anyone on here fit that bill?

EDIT: also meant to mention that this person has to be willing to buy a intake manifold which i think goes for about 1k if you can find one

With regards to the length of time for a reflash...

Turner Motorsports does the reflash the day they receive your ECU and then send it back to you with overnight shipping.

I don't see why Creative would take 3-4 days now that they figured it out!

[Not Ur Avg 3]

regardless
we need someone with MT preferably to go ahead and do this
eventualy were all gonna do it, y not be the first with viable results and can show with dyno. this is such an amazing mod.

forum paging hunter...paging hunter. dyno test on aisle two.

you know you want to hunter! hunter i will even paypal you $10 to help fund "research and development" if you agree to be the second guinea pig. just need to find 100 other 325i owners to help chip in $10 each to buy you a intake manifold

[Hunter399]

lol

If someone will find a way for me to buy the stuff I will

[spacedogg]
