  • BMW G87 M2 6 Speed RaceChip GTS Black Instant Insane Horsepower Boost. I just wrapped up the install with the custom mount for a customers G87 M2 because he truly felt the cars stock power was underwhelming since owning it for many months. The Race Chip GTS black is an intelligent Bluetooth enables external tuning box that lets you adjust and control the parameters off your smart phone. I show and highlight the features of the Race Chip Smart Phone APP in this video. FYI for anyone with a manual gearbox G8X car, do not abuse and romp on the car too much on local roads as you will smoke and destroy the clutch using RACE MAP 7. Sport Map 5 seems to be the most versatile mode on these cars with no compromises on the original features of the car. When adding significant amounts of power to this platform the rear suspension becomes compromised and handling and launch very unstable and erratic so be forewarned.

    I can’t remember the exact number but the transmission was rated in the low 400’s for torque capability. I want to say it was 440. So, you have very little room there if reliably is your concern. Also, people tend to think it’s a Getrag, but it’s not. It’s a ZF manual unit.

      its ok a bit heavier than I would like but my biggest complaint is the overly fat steering wheel I just do not like thick wheels to hold.

    2. Have you Compare this GTS Black to the JB4?

      Racechip i like better power delivery is smoother

      re: jb4 vs race chip. I've heard from numerous sources (and as Phil has said) that the race chip is more linear/smooth power delivery. and from my experience I will say the jb4 on my g87 does remind me of the power delivery of my MC20 where it does cram the boost at times which can overwhelm the back tires. It's great as long as you're awake and it's at least predictable. so for a daily in 4 season areas, the race chip might be the more practical choice. I went with the jb4 bc I live in warmer weather area with no snow and not that much rain, the g87 is a weekender for me, and because jb4 does monitor/hook up to a few more engine parameters so its slightly safer and there's more ways to customize maps/boost. And if there is a problem or something that needs to be corrected, there would be more data that jb4 could look at. hope this info helps.

    Bmw was clear on the torque and power on the manual car🤔 as for the suspension feel at high speed, the front definitely is nervous. I drive my car in m2 mode with everything max and find the suspension to be a little of a letdown. I am curious about the csl hardware and tune🤔

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  Місяць тому

      Yes the suspension is great to daily and cruise over bad roads but not stiff enough or controlled once you add more power the back gets very nervous

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  Місяць тому

      only slips in Map 7 which is supposed to be a 150hp increase over stock so You can no blame the clutch in this regard most cars would have a hard time with this level of increase without supporting mods

      The manual cars power delivery is very different

    • @trevorbailey1448
      @trevorbailey1448 Місяць тому

      There reach a point when building any engine for power and torque, one must choose the transmission option that offers the best delivery. In the case of the M cars, the limit is as the manufacturer determines as a warranty product. Simply put, the clutch is the weak point of the transmission.

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  Місяць тому

      As i said the clutch is the weak link if you abuse it or use map7 too hard otherwise it’s great just leave it in map5 or below no issues

    I have a g87 m2 with the Areeve tune. Car dynoed at 561whp in a six speed manual. I have zero clutch slip. Not understanding how the clutch is slipping in this video. Clutch slip is when the rs go up and no movement - wheel hop isnt clutch slip.

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  Місяць тому

      clutch slip you can smell the burning clutch in Map 7 if you are rough dumping the clutch, did the same thing on my G80 M3 however it was much worse on the M3 maybe from the heavier weight and longer wheel base.

    • @rickdawson1216
      @rickdawson1216 Місяць тому

      @autofanaticcars your absolutely right that you can smell clutch slip. Not on my g87 m2 with the Areeve tune. From the searching I have done some tuners agree that the clutch can handle around 500 torque at the wheels, which is where I am at some say 550. I think also it's how a car is tuned - when and where the power comes on. Just my thoughts. I've had 6 speed muscle cars in the past that can't handle the stock power at the drag strip.
