    In this video, we review the upgrade "Stages" for cars that come with the B58 engine and expected power output.
    "Stage 1" = Stock
    "Stage 2" = Downpipe
    "Stage 2+" or "Stage 2.5" = Downpipe + HPFP
    "Stage 3" = Turbo Upgrade (Hyrbid or full turbo Kit)
    In general, there's no need to upgrade your intake, charge pipe, or spark plugs.

    • @DjNikGnashers
      @DjNikGnashers 3 роки тому +1

      @@b16dans I think 450+ is about right for a sports cat.
      Mine was dyno'd on a very conservative dyno, and made 336bhp stock on 99ron V power. After a custom remap, it made 411bhp/576nm on the same day.
      That was stock everything. The performance specialist I take my car to said 450 is a realistic number for a 200 cell sports cat and further remap, with 600 to 650 nm.
      I have seen a few make 470-480 with a sports cat, but I think those figures are exaggerated by either roller riding, ambient temp lies in the calculations, etc.
      420 REAL bhp is about the maximum for a stock car with a custom remap. So I think the map on yours is not very good mate to be honest, I'd get it to a trusted tuner for a custom map, several dyno runs with the map tweaked each time for maximum power staying within safe temp/timing/fuel limits.

    Best Video!
    Personally I run Stage0+ (Soon Stage1) already got 300cell DP. I just can recommend the DP and xHP even for stock cars. It makes it much more responsive and shifting not only in Sport/Sport+ nicer but WAAAAY smoother in Comfort. Just get xHP.. Also reminder, you have to go ~60miles in comfort, no kickdown, no manual shifting, no sport mode after flashing xhp to let the transmission get new gear adoption values etc.

    One question and a suggestion... can you run full E with a stage 2 LPFP upgrade (is that the only Upgrade needed)? the suggestion... would be awesome if at the end of the video when you flash up the tunes and the power output if you could add another column to provide approximate ET and mile per hour for each of the power levels. Some people chase Dyno numbers (which is silly as it's just a tuning tool and they vary) others chase performance numbers, so would be good to know for stage 1 OTS the typical car will run 12.2-12.5 @ 114-117 for example. appreciate your chanell!

    New subb. I love the vid, thank you for all the info. Was considering changing out my charge pipe and down pipe on my 340 6speed before going stage 1. Was told the B58 charge pipes are stronger than previous gens so don’t really need to do it. Didn’t really plan on going past stage 1 but if i’m already swapping out down pipe and that’s the only mod necessary to go to stage 2 i mite as well. My question is, if i just swap my down pipe for a high flow catted one and go stage 2 i shouldn’t run into any problems rite? Also, what platform would you recommend? Been looking at MHD, and Bootmod3.

    • @kern417

    Hey man! Thanks for all the videos and forum discussions! Loving it. I have made my g30 b58 gen1 up until this point to stage2+, but now stuggling a bit with settings for MHD tune - particularly should I tick the box for TCU TQ limiter removal or not? In theory mhd says st2+ is up to 520hp and 720nm, so even in a worst case scenario i would imagine my engine will be exceeding 550nm limit of the torque (apparently stock is around 450nm so with st2+ should easily go beyond 550nm, shouldn’t it?).

    Hey man, wanted to start by saying fantastic video! Your B58 info is super streamlined and really easy to understand, especially for a beginner like myself. I wanted to ask your advice about my current setup, I currently have a 340iX 6MT with MPPSK (completely stock other than some head unit upgrades) and I am hoping to just go for 400WHP on 91 AKI. From my research the front transfer case and transmission can handle around 466 lb-ft so hopefully it wouldn't hurt the daily drivability and potentially increase highway fuel economy (if I am thinking about this right).
    Would a stage 2 tune get me near that number assuming drivetrain loss. Also, total shot in the dark, do you know if there is a major difference between the AA and VRSF catted downpipes other than the price, I would assume they function similarly but I really don't know for sure.

    @kern417 Darnit! Just found out your in Cincy! I was there the other day getting a carbahn tune at jake Sweeney bmw… so far I have AWE exhaust with AA downpipe.
    I got impatient and did the tune with 10 months of factory warranty left, but I also added the Carbahn matching warranty.
    It’s not a huge bump, but enough to notice! In your opinion this should be a fairly safe and mild tune??
    The plan is to switch to Ecutek or BM3 next year once warranty is done. Awesome content btw!

    Do you have a preference between BM3 or MHD? I like the features each one has but I want to make the most reliable power I can using one of their OTS tunes, it does seem like bm3 isn’t as good with timing opposed to MHD. I can’t really find any solid Dyno comparisons between the two (stage 2 dyno numbers) but I plan on going Stage 2 for sure and possibly stage 2+ with HPFP to possibly run an e30 mix every so often.

I fitted the FTP chargepipe and intake pipe with a drop in BMC filter, catless downpipe and the TU pump. I went with 91 Oct stage 2 and did a dyno run. The results were a bit underwhelming 269wkw (361whp) and 587nm of torque. Do you think this is normal and could be a stingy dyno? Also the tuner that helped install my hardware said he does not recommend even loaded the stage 2+ even though I have the pump because in South Africa our fuel quality is poor. Would love to hear any thoughts on this.

The RPM it would happen at would vary at times too but usually around 4k. At first I thought it was my clutch was slipping.
