If that's the case, what's the worst part about 'pulling timing'? Does it actually hurt the car or does it just restrict it (cuts gas, limits rpms, etc.)? Mainly I just want to make sure I'm interpreting what I'm reading correctly. I also want to make sure I don't hurt my car. When the temps were well above 100 here (as high as 118 since I bought the M2) the car would lose steam above 6000 rpm, being my first turbo car, I figured that was the penalty for all the low end power. After temps cooled, I realized the M2 will run pretty hard to redline in stock form, just not when its 100 degrees. Was I likely 'pulling timing' in the heat? |

It doesnt surprise me that the Sport Tuner produces this under some conditions since its simply a boost controller and doesnt attempt to deal with the other sensor values that the more comprehensive systems by Dinan and others inculcate into their software releases.

That is more or less what I was understanding but wanted to make sure. I have a Fabspeed SC installed and I have a Dinan Sport Tuner, FMIC, and chargepipe coming for Christmas. I don't plan to go anything more, I just want some extra performance without breaking the bank and while maintaining drivability and reliability close to stock. I think I'll be ok but will keep an eye on things especially once the weather starts to heat up in a few months. Do you think I was pulling timing in my example above? I was completely stock but it was over 110 degrees. Also, I've heard several people say they don't want to tune (this includes the Dinan Sport Tuner boost controller) for fear of blowing their engine. With the current technology, and with how proven the N55 is, I doubt 3-4 extra PSI is going to hurt the engine at all. Right? |

The Sport Tuner is NOT a comprehensive product. Its fun for non track use mainly if you have 93 octane gas and dont run it hard in high temperatures..The difference between the Sport TUner and the other more expensive products is that with the latter, you get relatively complete software fix in addition to the piggyback Dinan sells to deal with these potential deleterious conditions.. Your sport tuner relies on the stock software to control timing and air fuel ratios. However the stock program was written for stock boost levels.. The more expensive and comprehensive Dinan products include software designed to alter the timing and AFRs to match the altered boost levels.. Will your ST destroy your engine? Probably not, but there's a reason Dinan doesnt offer their standard warranty with it! In any event, take it easy in the heat, especially if you run on < 93 octane.

"We did about a thousand dyno runs today at Fabspeed. Here are the results: (GRAPHS TO FOLLOW)"
That would have been an epically long day. But, if you can conduct a run in under 2 minutes and someone keeps topping off the tank you might manage it in somewhere between 24 and 33 hours without stopping... |

Ok, I installed the Dinan Sport Tuner and I can feel the difference in power, but it's not a night a day difference.
The app stinks though, unless I'm an idiot. I can't get to the screen with the boost monitoring. I can only see 3 different screens, the one where you choose the Dinan Sport Tuner in Bluetooth, then the screen where you select your car type, and then the screen where you choose sport, race, etc. How do i see the boost??? Thanks. |

The updated app no longer shows boost. Just two screens to select the engine and boost increase. The boost gauge on the app didn't work anyways.

It's noticeably faster for me. Well maybe not faster but more torque. Second gear, traction will flash and I'm riding on 275 RE71s in the rear.
I like that I can go back to stock easily. I will probably run stock boost when it heats up in Florida. |
