Background - long time modified car owner, never tried to self tune - but always wanted to learn. Did a bunch of internet reading so clearly overqualified to tune anything (lol). Had been running a JB4 + BE flash for a while an decided to remove it and tune myself from my original BIN. It look me 24 versions to get here, but changed pretty much everything. Timing, fuel, fuel scalars, BRO, WGDC tables, VANOS, spool tables, limit tables, L2T, boost pressure target modifier, rescaled axes, rescaled due to N20 TMAP, etc.
Car & mods -
2008 335i - 6 speed manual - 146K miles
MSD81 - IJE0S
N20 TMAP
VTT GC Lites (v1 - 60K miles)
VTT Inlets/Outlets - Silicon
VSRF Charge Pipe
VSRF DPs
ETS 5" FMIC
FuelIt Stage 1
AFe Airbox
MFactory SMFW - 550i clutch
Here is my last log. Obviously not an expert on this as it is the first car I have tried things on, but seems reasonable. 91 octane midwest gas. I am not sure if much is left in it here, if not will start an E30-E40 file. Looking for input on things that look wrong or could be improved.
I logged on the same stretch of road (a long straight exit ramp). It is pretty flat, but has a small uphill grade.
I know VD isnt a dyno, but used the same stretch of road for baseline and all logs so should be useful for comparison purposes. Unfortunately my last log had someone behind me so couldnt slow down as much as I would have liked, but it was good enough.
