I have XHP, so for the fastest shifts you need to be in M mode with traction turned all the way off. If you leave traction control on even in sports mode it is not the fastest shift setting Disable Creep in settings Shift map editor and go to each gear and go +10-15% this will make each gear shift later in D mode if you don’t want it to shift so early into 7th
With a manual trans (or a dct) and MHD you can disable the torque limiter shift bog option. This changes your rev limiter to a ignition cut rather than fuel cut, hence the popping. 🙂
Not finished the video yet but your 'D' mode is much faster both up and downshifting compared to my DCT N55. I know what my next mod is going to be! Great video!
Perfect timing finding this channel. I get my 335i convertible on Monday. Going to do heavy mods so need to see what works and what doesn't. Keep up the great content
Great review guys! Keep it coming! Looking at xHP on my e93 dct N54, almost about to pull the trigger! Really interested in your continued feedback on it, cheers!
Being able to just flash to your car from your phone still blows my mind, reminds me of that phrase about your phone having more tech than the first rocket going to the moon 😄 What a car though
I know supposedly the Torque punch is meant to end up giving the DCt "fart" that people call in the Vag world, but my car already starts popping like it in the track after 3 or 4 laps until I stop running around the track. Its not like I have anything extraordinary in the exhaust or anything, catless downpipes, second cats still in place, rear muffler changed to the M3 one and "performance" modded which basically is just killing 2 of the 4 resonating chambers. Just something I thought I'd mention. Highly anticipating your full impression and review after a while, as I said in other videos your take on things its really good!
I have a N55 135i with the 7speed DCT and I have MHDstage one and xHP flash, by far best part of it is the gun shot I get on the one two shift when it revs all the way out
Only thing to watch with the creep setting is taking off when facing uphill. It is enabled from factory so the car doesn't roll backwards when taking off facing uphill. With creep disabled, your trans is in neutral, meaning if the car starts to roll backwards, and you take off, you can shock load the driveline. Not a major concern for daily driving, but you wouldn't want to roll back far at a reasonable pace, then nail it.
So good man I love this car! That creep doesn't seem right tho should rev up slightly and can feel the clutch engage before moving, can use the shiftpoint editor to move it up to 6800
Nice… love the Sound 👍🏻 Are you running standard clutch disks or are they upgraded. What did you do with your JB4 when you changed from MSD80 to MSD81? Did you get new maps as they were made for the “old” MSD80? Best
Running the original 195,000klms old clutches. JB4 has only had one setting changed so far and that was for logging 6 cylinder timing. I did get updated versions of the MHD back end flash.
Another great video Andrew. That launch control feature would be great for drag racing. You certainly need an LSD to experience the full affect of the DCT with xhp. Will your DSS axles fit this diff as you will need those as well as the LSD for reliability.
Thanks ken! I personally have m factory axles not dss. They are for small case diff but I think they are close enough to work on both….. I hope. Still not sure what I’m gonna do diff wise
Awesome!! The popping on shifts is the main thing I want it for 😅 suppose the DCT is so quick normally it won't be night and day difference with a map like the 6AT!
I have been changing the Torque Reduction and Torque Punch on my M4 with the stage 3 map it does hit very hard just trying to keep it going through the gears faster and keen to go roll racing next time for some fun
Hey mate, I've got a 2008 335i DCT and I've been told my mechatronics unit is buggered... Have you got a spare gearbox or a spare mechatronics unit I could buy? Preferably just the mech unit because I'm in the UK... I've got a baby on the way and this is going to cost over £4,500 to fix. The whole car is only worth about £7,000.
Sorry man. Unfortunately not and over here they worth a lot more than the uk too. I was lucky to get this one. The states will be the cheapest place to find them.
@@ZeroTo60Tube no worries mate 👍 thanks for the reply. I'm trying to find someone who can recondition them here in the UK. So far I've only found one but he's like 4 hours away from me. (That's a long way for us Brits) 😂
So in order to dct swap my car which i really wanna do my vins 4th-7t digits have to be PM77 mine are VB77 i wonder if thats going to affect it cause i really want to swap the dct into my car but at the same time if i cant get xHP on the car i dont want to waste my time doing the swap
Hmmmmm it might be shooting an email to xHP to be sure. I read they have opened up an option to force a flash on to a car now. So you may be able to get around the vin issues.
@@ZeroTo60Tube thank you for this info will definitely be getting in touch with xHP and trying to see if thats true because this swap yall did along with a lsd ford 8.8 diff swap in the rear with 1000hp axels and 19t turbos are in the making got the turbos in the process or installing them but before i order the diff or anything else really i need this information
@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks. I just installed the xHP stage 3 as well. Still driving for adaptation, but it seems to do almost what I want. Looking fwd to 2500rpm launches...

It seems to have quietened down again. I think the jb4 has had to relearn wastegate adaptations thanks to a different amount of load going through the engine. The rattle appeared after about 20 mins of driving and maybe 15 pulls. So as I have done more it’s readjusted again….. we’ll I think so anyway.
@@ZeroTo60Tube oh awesome good to hear! I’m over in NZ and I got myself a 2010 E90 LCI N54... I’m on 158,000km and I don’t have any signs of rattle at all yet so I’m praying mine hang on, I picked the car up for $9500 and it’s had gaskets and injectors and all that jazz done so I’m hoping I just got a good steal!
Yeeeeeeha wind it up! Have you started thinking clutch packs yet? M5 Marky Mark who I'd say probably around that 700whp area says he thinks his is starting to slip?
It seems I have quietened down again. I’m thinking it was an adaptation issue with the different load the dct puts on the motor. It was basically over boosting. So jb4 took a little while to learn where the east gates need to be sitting
Non stop content. You guys are smashing it👊🏼 absolutely loving this whole series !
Thanks man, glad you’ve enjoyed it.

Agreeed
@@ZeroTo60Tube does it work on the regular 6 speed 335i or does it have to be the 6 speed 335is ?
I love the sounds that comes with the DCT, aside from the pops and bangs the best part is staying in boost after shifts
I have XHP, so for the fastest shifts you need to be in M mode with traction turned all the way off. If you leave traction control on even in sports mode it is not the fastest shift setting
Disable Creep in settings
Shift map editor and go to each gear and go +10-15% this will make each gear shift later in D mode if you don’t want it to shift so early into 7th
why is creep setting so bad? Its a useful feature for daily street driving. How does this affect the performance of lets say my m4?
@@Abercrombemonkey dct i basically a manual , creep just degrades clutch life

Ahhhhh see I didn’t know torque punch related to the shift pop. Interesting.
Maybe it is changing at 6800 but the new cluster face is slightly off/ not accurate
Another high-quality video with great insight and detail. Keep it up!!
Thanks, will do!
I have a N55 135i with the 7speed DCT and I have MHDstage one and xHP flash, by far best part of it is the gun shot I get on the one two shift when it revs all the way out

@@ZeroTo60Tube reduction is 650 punch is 5. I just tried that as someone had used it.
Is it a kickdown switch issue? Do you need a pedal switch from a DCT?...
I don’t think so
Haven't even watched it yet but I just know this is gonna be lit 👊
Would you be able to put a M3/M4 DCT control model on your DCT. I know that has no creep feature on until you touch the accelerator pedal.
No, unfortunately f series software doesn’t work. But I have worked out why xHP didnt

Love your videos! How about taking on some cars other than the 335i?
We have done quite a few vids on x5, m5’s, 325i’s and recently RX8 as well.
So how are the brakes handling the new upgrades?
Update video....
Hint... Hint...
The max shift RPM isn't exact, there's some extra hysteresis added so you might need to play around with it until you get the right max rpm.

It definitely wouldnt help. But they wear out on stock cars. So get a new one in and see how long that lasts.
