Pure Stage 2 N55 Owners - Searching Tuner

Hi all,

I am in search of a tuner for my pure stage 2 setup. Car is used primarily for track (circuit) use so the tune will need to have linear power delivery. Could owners chime in and recommend a tuner that I would be able to engage? I am based in Sydney Australia so experience tuning in hotter climates would be beneficial.

Mods on the car.
Pure stage 2 Turbo (latest revision)
Decat downpipe
Bms intake
Wagner Competition Intercooler
Dorsch Stage 2 Hpfp

Many thanks!

I live in socal and it's hot here a lot. I purchased ecutek from bend calibration. I have a FBO and PS2 car as well. Joseph was able to get my turbo spooling by 2800 rpms. Very smooth power and we tuned it very conservative so that it will be as resilient to heat as possible on track. Reach out to them. Very knowledgeable

I second Bend Calibration. We have heat and unreal humidity here in SE TX. They got me dialed in perfectly. I have a Dinan turbo though.

Surely if it's primarily a track car in a hot climate you would mostly be interested in upgrades to engine and brake cooling, and the suspension? Yes?

I've only listed mods relative to the tuning side, car has a vented bonnet, AP brakes front and rear, ohlins coilovers and a sitting on 18 inch TE37 sagas running 265/295.

You guys tuned via street logs ?

They do, I think they actually prefer it. They're arguably one of the best custom tuners on the N55 platform.

Also, they likely already have a pretty damn close baseline from another car they can use for you, and then just do minor adjustments from there.

Yes we street tuned it. Like Detroit M2 said, Joseph and bend already had tunes for our setups. So it's just a few revisions to fine tune for your needs. It's easy.
I honestly can't recommend them enough

Did you post up Dynojet curves for your three maps? Would be pretty interesting to see!

Not sure if I was the first N55 they did but I think I may have been a fairly early adopter. They should have plenty if data.

We ended up not doing the dyno day to tune it. I ordered the wrong eu5 injectors so I didn't require Joseph to ITSA code new ones. So since that was the complicated piece to my setup and it was scrapped. Weve just been street tuning it.
Based off the logs Joseph said it should be easily over 500 wheel on e47 per the ethanol content analyzer.
I bought nostrum s55 injectors. Nostrum works over the injectors and with those installed I'll be able to flow full e85 100% no problem. They'll be overkill most likely but we're going to tune it rich to help combat cylinder temps.

Gotcha. Would be great to see the difference in power & torque curves bn the hot, track, and 91 maps vs all the other curves out there.

Might also inform you about good shift points.

Definitely! I need to learn to view the logs

Wasn't aware you were running Nostrum injectors! Got mine installed a few weeks ago also running their HPFP and LPFP. (Walbro 485 unit)
