      @ThicGarage  4 роки тому +1

      Top Random Things Hello! Although the chip does work, the actual increase in HP was not much when we ran on a dyno. Torque was increased more so giving driver the feel of improvement even though it’s not nearly what you can get with a custom tune instead. Here is the link to our dyno video and would recommend to go this route. ua-cam.com/video/9_uZ6Le5TcE/v-deo.html

    Love your posts and I’m definitely going to do the air and take and chip that you did! Damn. Two days ago I got a 2016 535i I M Sport. I was told by this dealer that I bought the car from that Sport plus mode only turns off traction control but does not shift it quicker or add any more boost than sport mode. Please tell me, because it seems that your car was much quicker with this chip in race mode and your car in sport plus mode, what is the straight dope? Thanks for the awesome videos and I look forward to more.

    • @ThicGarage
      @ThicGarage  4 роки тому +1

      I don’t have Sport + mode on my car. Sport mode increases throttle response and helps your vehicle accelerate faster, but does not change the feel of the steering or stability system.
      Sport+ Provides a sportier steering, throttle response and turns TC off. My last run was in sport mode with sport shift on too.

      @twinscrolled 4 роки тому +4

      @@hollandf10 There is no comparison between this and MHD. MHD is not a device that you leave connected to your car, it is an actual flash tuning app that uses and OBD wireless adapter or cable. MHD backs up your stock tune to the app in the phone or tablet, and uploads a tune from MHD or your custom tune from a tuner (wedge performance, twisted tuning, etc) to your factory DME (ECU). With MHD you can run premade OTS (off the shelf on tune fits all) tunes or you can get a custom tune that is created for you specific car based on data logs that you take and then send to your tuner who then makes changes and send you tunes until your car is making the best power it can based on your performance mods at that time. The tunes can constantly be adjusted and improved based on what you want. MHD can also change many other things as well, such as burbles settings, sport versus comfort settings, adapt for transmission tunes from XHP or the Alpina trans tune, changes for specific ignition coil kits, etc. etc. All this Racechip thing does is manipulate voltage signals to your TMAP and MAP sensors.

    Awesome! I totally believe those 0-60 numbers were improved. Too bad we can't have our own private track available to test 60-100 times. There should be a whole lot of improvement there.
    Burger Motorsport was testing something like this in the i8 but gave up. It was incredibly hard to get to and when they did get it in there they had problems showing any significant improvement. Sad, because these are a quick way to improve performance.
    I picked up a Dragy to measure 0-60 times accurately and it works well and is easy to use. It will measure more than that, as well.

      The numbers were not what I was expecting. We do need a private track that would be great! My son mentioned a cool idea a while back to get a lot of car enthusiasts together and purchase land for one. There is also a private airport in forest hill, md that may let us use the runway

      Depends how aggressive you drive your car. The more aggressive the more/faster wear. We’ve come a long way since this video was posted. Removed Racechip and went custom tune but recently went stage 2. Tuning by far offers more performance then any piggyback.

This seems like snake oil, seems you are either letting off the gas or the tuner is short shifting until you put it on the highest setting to make it seem like your getting more power.
