Congrats.

I think I have read enough to know that LM is just yanking your chain Sticky. He is making fun of the people who actually say the N54 is the 2JZ.

Dont we all know that MSD80 DMEs have issues and that the MOSFETs are liable to break? This isn't new really. I dont even have a JB4, but throwing pewp on people for known issues (especially because...

Isn't this the ex distributor guy with a bad attitude?

Wowzers. Just the normal injector coding (on all 6 of course) to make this work?

So being on I8AOS is desirable from a tuning perspective? Sorry - slightly off topic. Numbers look good though.

I am assuming updating to the new DME software requires a dealer to complete?

No. Shop had it. Sorry.

Yes, I got boned. I payed out of pocket. I actually had a 3rd party warranty that I forgot about, and they wouldn't pay ANYTHING because I didnt call them before the repair. I even asked if...

OK, so I finally got around to messing with this. At this point I have only replaced the coil on cylinder 3. That seems to have fixed *most* of the issues. At points it really did feel like a coil...

Just to close the loop, it was a water pump failure. They replaced the t-stat too. Everything is back to normal.

Monday. I have somewhat decided I am going to replace the injector on cylinder 1 first and see if that fixes the issue. I am going to replace the coil on cylinder 3 as well. If I need to go back and...

I thought injector too, but not sure if it is cylinder 1 or 3. The amount of fuel injected depends some on the A/F ratio seen by the O2 sensors in each bank. If cylinder 1 had a ton of fuel pooled up...

OK - recently started getting some cold start misfires. Kind of feels like 1 of 6 cylinders is missing. Pulled codes and got a misfire on cylinder 3 and later triggered a misfires on multiple...

I mean honestly, if a Republican president invoked EP with this much blood in the water, the press would be in a feeding frenzy bringing this up constantly. This and the Libya scandal have just...

I had it towed to the indy today. Getting confirmation, but the fan comes on full blast instantly upon startup, so pretty sure of the diagnosis.

Goes by build date pretty sure. Isn't it 4yr/50K?

Sweet. I guess time to tow it to the indy mechanic. A nice night cap to a $#@!ty day I guess.

2008 335i (build date 12/07). 41K miles. Heard my fan running overtime, and sure enough, on the way home the coolant temp warning displayed. I am assuming water pump + t-stat needs to be done. Anyone...

I have had a few clutches done in different cars with a SMFW, I never really noticed the sound change after break in. The can of marbles banging around sound was there from the beginning and never...

Can we confirm that the Spec steel SMFW doesn't chatter? Or at least that it is minimal? I don't want to deal with chatter again.

I totally agree. I am an idiot and thought I read the O2 sensors were somehow integrated into the stock manifolds. But I am dumb and forgot that the stock/aftermarket DPs have 4 bungs in them.

O2 sensors post turbo? With the turbines the way they are it looks like it'd be a lot easier to merge them into 1 pipe and maybe have a splitter downstream to join up to stock exhausts. But I dont...

Thanks Santa Sticky! For some reason a frightening photoshop opportunity is coming to mind.

Thanks for the updates Mr. Vargas. If you want to play Santa, I can give you my address!

OMG, I love the internet. What did we do without it.
