ESS Tune

kab_m2 · 10-26-2017, 02:37 AM

Anyone have any experience with this tune for an N55 they wish to share?

Very interested in getting this but wanted to throw it out to the community for some feedback first. Cheers!

Also curious about this as well.

iND sells the software kit. Claims 40-45 hp gain which is a big number for stage I tuning.

Anyone with experience?

"The Stage 1 software is developed and tested in extreme heat in the Arizona desert as well as extreme cold temperatures in Scandinavia."

Sounds like a "canned" tune to me.

As opposed to what? Are you referring to a generic 'off the shelf' tune for your model vs sending logged sensor values to a tuner and having custom maps done?

No. A canned tune is a map that was not purely developed inhouse from the ground up.

I know the car that the tune was developed on. It was not canned, they went back and forward on data logs to fine tune it.

I also did a couple pulls against that same car and with less mods than mine we were either dead even or he was pulling away from me on top end.

Their tune on the N55 135i is great. I know a couple people running it and the cars are putting down around 350 whp and 390 tq with downpipe, FMIC upgrade, drop in filter and their tune.
