I went back to stock cat after being catless. What if I ran Stage 2 BM3 with stock cat and BMW intake?

I do not recommend doing so, you are putting too much stress on stock components. Get the recommended mods or use stage 1

I recently moved from CA to VA, was wondering if stg 1 91 vs stg 1 93 is even something I would notice? Thus far I have assumed it's not worth the bother, unless the maps have also been updated since August.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Yes you would definitely notice it the difference, it will have slightly more power and more consistent as well on the 93 map. It doesn't hurt to run the 91 map with 93 octane either all depends on the user needs

FSociety, I just saw on PTF facebook page that the latest B58-T0 OTS beta was in testing. Any idea when it will come out?

It's in closed beta at the moment, release should be soon but no ETA yet.

Flashed my with v2.0 map and noticed the sports display dials changed from 480 to 400hp. Is that expected?

My fault - I was looking at kW instead of hp. All good now

Wait, why are you even using that? Lol

I just want to verify as the update says it adjusted the sports display

What’s is the different between stage 2 and stage 2 agg other than burbles? Will the start up and cursing exhaust note louder in stage 2 agg?

Just the burbles.

+1 just burbles,
Burbles are:
OEM
OTS (style)
OTS AGG (style)
Custom

Start Up Roar can be on/off on ANY Map

Hi, can someone take a look to my log and tell me what he thinks about it ? I'm almost noob at this.
http://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=5df8ff34c090c642d417ba5c
It's a 91 stg 1 on a stock M140ix
From what I see, there's throttle closure between 2900 and 3100 rpm. Is it normal behavior ?
And at 5000 rpm there's a knock detection, followed by important timing change in cyl 1. Can someone explain this ?
Something else to worry about ?
Thanks !

For the record, I suspect a coolant leak, I added 1,5 liters 1000 miles ago, and I'm again at the min.

The one 100% accelerator section of the log looks great, one of the best BM3 stage 1 logs I've seen.

The throttle helps control manifold boost pressure, the minor closure is nothing of concern.

Boost, timing and AFR all look good. One random knock count is also nothing of concern. Enjoy the car.

I think bleeding the B58 coolant system in the factory is not that great and there are a lot of people who have to add coolant over the first 20K - 30K kilometers. I was topping up regularly, but now the level seems constant.

Is there any evidence of coolant leaking at the filler cap? They have been reported to have a poor seal in some cases.

Thanks for your comment OzBMR, I should try the 93 stg1 then !

About the coolant, no evidence of leaking in the filling cap area... However the cap is hard to remove and the first time I took it off to top up the level, there was a kind of white, dry residue in the thread. I cleaned it.
The thing is, I never checked the level before the system warned me, around 20K Km, so I don't have stats about the level. But since I had to top it up again after 1600 Km only ...
If the radiator is pinched somewhere, I should easily notice the leak, am I right ?

If you have access to RON98 you should use the 93 map or even try the 95_102 which will be stronger.

The cap should not be hard to remove and threads should be clean. I'd ask the dealer for a new one.

I'm actually on RON98, but I don't know if the fuel is good quality or not, so I preferred to begin with the 91 map.
I'll keep monitoring the coolant level and ask for a new cap.
tnx

Any chance rev matching support similar to that of the N55 be added for the B58?

[B58 parts]

I failed PA emissions, obd readyness = fail. Stage 1, stock downpipe. I wasn't expecting any problems today, really I didn't even think about it - nothing to worry about until stage 2 with downpipe I believed.

Is that expected for stage 1, and I always have to flash back to stock and drive around until they show 'ready' before emissions check? Is there a setting I missed in the tune to leave the readyness monitors alone? I have to plug in and see which one(s) are false.

If not .. then stage 2 with downpipe is surely going to have me swapping the pipe twice a year. I thought with a catted downpipe and stage 2, no cel, nothing obvious, it will pass. Somehow I had never even heard of this obd readyness nonsense.

I haven't cleared the codes or disconnected the battery for months, I don't think there's another issue.

Make sure the 'Catalyst Monitor' is set to 'OEM' on the config for your map.
