Glad you like the numbers!

that is our disclaimer, but with that said each persons situation is different, there aren't any physical changes to the parts within the vehicle so you should be fine.

Yeah haha understood which my dealer is pretty good with mods but will they be able to see the tune or anything like that when plugged in?

kevlee23 · 12-03-2016, 12:23 PM

Okay yeah wanted to know if DME stays active so it will kind of stop it from blowing up in case , and hope to see stage 2 numbers !

M2 dyno

First we have The White 6 speed car (SAE)

dyno2

Next we have the LBB DCT (SAE)

dyno1

RESULTS!!!!
36WHP 55TQ Gains! ALL SAE

Whats wrong with that Torque Curve? it peaks 400+ for less than 500rpm

Not very impressed with those results.

But, in time... i'm sure the tuners will figure the engine out and be able to get as much out of it as a n54/n55.

If anyone wants to run a m2 vs my 235 come to Island drag tommorow in NJ.

stockm5 · 12-03-2016, 09:29 PM

It seems the m235 makes more power with a stage 1 tune from ACM. My friends m235 made 411whp/412wtq on the ACM Stage 1 Tune.

All new platforms require more development to perfect the tune so in time I'm sure they will figure out why the hp gains are so low on the M2. Maybe it has something to do with the same reason why map 2 jb4 doesn't work very well on the M2 platform. I heard they might be running different Turbos on the M2 N55 verse the others like the M235. The dynos here certainly make it look like that.

bryan_G01 · 12-04-2016, 12:05 PM

the m235, m240, and m2 all use different turbos.
The m2 has the largest.

Good results and curve from that 235, i have seen that chart before at vinnyten. Wasn't he running race gas or meth to get 411? He can up that tq a little more as well.

ALso would like to see what smoothing was, and if SAE, STD, or uncorrected.

Pretty sure it was pump. This was STD correction smoothing 5.

Hey man Rome wasn't built in a day! Glad you checked the thread out though... from what I've seen with the M2 it seems to be a pretty good job we did over here... enjoy the 235!

You don't have to believe it. I just posted the real results.

You posted a graph and created a story for it.

It's not possible to achieve with just stage 1 due to lack of air flow. Stock N55 turbo, exhaust, 93oct, maxes out around 350whp. Already known for years. What you are showing is not the result of a stage 1 tune.

Protuningfreaks with Bootmod3 just did this M235. I guess this is BS too.

That's a stage 2 flash with catless downpipe tho?

MTWO · 12-05-2016, 08:25 AM

I talked to BM3 and they said main thing to change first is the intercooler the downpipe.

I understand that. He claims stock turbo maxes out at 350whp. That was my point. It also has 52wtq more than the stage 1 that was posted which makes sense.

Either way, I'm not here to argue. If you don't believe it, that's fine. Just wanted to post a comparison of the different n55 dynos I have seen. You guys know more about these cars than me. Cheers!

i would appreciate it if the thread doesn't become cluttered with non informative posts that reflect negatively towards other forum members.

On that note..

Anyone else have questions regarding the tune?

What's the difference with your flash tune vs bm3? Pro/cons?
I'm shopping around and unsure exactly what you flash can offer
