Dinatronics Performance Stage 1 Tuner - Affected by Gas Type?
Does anyone have any experience with the Dinatronics Performance Tuner Stage 1?
I have a 428I GC. We only get 90 Octane out here, will that cause a problem with the tuner? Is it worth the upgrade? (I like P&P Solutions)

Oh most definitely!! Plus the upgrade runs with your car warranty. There are cheaper. However if one of the other brands cook your engine, you eat the cost. Just speaking from experience, get the exhaust at the same time. You won't regret it.

Not significant but perhaps noticeable depending on the application and the overall difference in power being advertised. Less then 5% power difference in general and probably closer to half that.

So when you show the (lower) power output of the N26 is that power based on 93 octane too ?

So on the n20 we're talking about probably a ~2 hp difference in max gain when on 91 vs. 93

No. Based in California everything is 10% ethanol. We actually blend our own 93 since it doesn't exist here (91 is the max at the pump). 91 octane mixed with 100 octane race gas to produce a 93 octane mix. |

Dear Dinan
I had my stage 1 installed on Tuesday and had it dyno' d today. I also have the Dinan exhaust. I only pulled 250hp. Is the tune working? Shouldn't I be pulling more hp if the tune was installed correctly ?? |

So is that Approx. 10 - 14 HP gain worth it?

So with my current setup at around 245 stock, I should get around 275 or so with the upgrade? and no deterioration in MPG?
