There are so many variables here-none of you has a clue as to what your talking about. No one is going to notice 10 f'n hp at 6000rpm! Fishbone I almost always agree with you-until I see you respond to every stupid remark and add 10 more variables to a stupid question. Are you guys really non-stop tuning your cars? BTW wait until you guys actually own a real car like a BMW and see what real tuning is all about.

Oh please enlighten us o wise and all knowing car guy


and what is the point of your last statement??? to let everyone else know that you were the kid who was picked last in kick ball, or that you are just super duper cool. come on man, that's just an immature and narrow-minded statement

I looked at the info on the Bully Dog web site (it's linked at the top of the page- with other ads supporting this forum) and there is a lot of info. You first have to download the latest program, based on your vehicle, and update the "Power Pup". So the device itself does NOT contain data for all vehicles. Then it takes maybe 20 minutes to reprogram the ECU- NOT twenty seconds, as suggested. It can be used to change the speed limiter, the reve limit, and the idle. It will also read/clear trouble codes. To affect power, it can only change fueling and timing. No details on how much, but that would likely vary from vehicle to vehicle. With any ECU change, the timing and fueling are the most significant variables that affect power. It would be nice to have a set-up that would let you change both items by adjusting the "curve" but that would be a fancier, more expensive device, and would be risky for most people. And if anyone wanted a RWD high performance vehicle, the Infiniti and the Hyundai both offer better value than the BMW- but not the snob appeal.

^I still call BS on the "increasing line pressure in the automatic" part

Can't expect customer service to know 100% what they're talking about. I'd like to see the rev-limiter increased though since the peak hp on the 4th GEN doesn't drop off at the current fuel cut-off. Our cam's were designed well. I'm sure if the 3rd gen can take 7200 RPM ours can do at least that as well.

Just want to let you guys know that I've talked to Gary who works at bullydog and he sent me the PDF of their new unit that can remove the speed limiter, the WOT limiter, adjust the speedo to the tire size you are using and remove the rev limiter, on top of the monitoring capabilities this new unit has and the Engine tunes it can do. It was just released on the 16th of this month here's the PDF:
40410GTGasproductinformationSheet1.0.pdf


and JEGS.com is selling it for 60$ off normal MSRP

that's nice, but I would be most concerned with how well the engine tunes really work, which I am still waiting on someone to report back on

Do they make this for the 3rd gen? Im assuming they do. The link didnt work on my computer.

Thanks

Ok guys I got some great news. I got some good prices for a possible GB. but here are the prices I got:

MSRP is 469.99$

5 People - $375.00 ea.
10 People - $365.00 ea.
15 People - $355.00 ea.
20 People - $350.00 ea.
25 People - $345.00 ea.
will make a thread later

I'm guessing, but seems like 05-09 and not 02-04 because 05 was when they started with the wideband O2 sensors. Sounds pretty good, though. I've been hearing about Bullydog for quite some time and they have a good rep amongst the "hotrod" and pickup crowd. Just recently have they offered anything for us with the non-truck Nissans.

 

[LPTITAN]

I also have a bd and am haveing a hard time getting the tune loaded.I did raise my timing and idle so far just waiting on bullydog to find out why I am getting a f7 error code.They just sent me the same update again to see if it will work.I also got it at burtman industries for 354 shipped.

Which BMW are you talking about? Only one I can think of as being a good tuner car is the 335I.

Your an idiot for thinking a BMW is what TUNING is all about. All the N/A's come pretty close to maxed out from the factory with only little room to play with mods and tuning.

Another good example of this is the S2000, a header only gives it 4 WHP and a cold air intake only gives it 5 WHP and thats it. It is pretty close to max when it comes to tuning from the factory.

You think the E46 M3 had great tuning potential??? Not really, they don't respond that great to bolt ons. YOu do gain some, but nothing to brag about.

My Talon is a WAY better tuner car than your BMW's your talking about. The Talon is HEAVILY restricted and responds great to little modifications. So go home with your "OhHH BMW's ARE SOO FUKIN GREAT TO MOD".

Your comment was just atrocious and you have NO idea what your talking about. Some people should be fuking banned.

Now everyone should know why BMW owners/lovers are idiots. Read Matts comment. Matt you can take off your dress and end your tea-party with BMW, fuking retard.

and quick question Matt, what makes BMW a real car?

Oh, ok. Im not too knowledgeable on wideband sensors but Im assuming that they are easier to work with than the regular O2 sensors on the 02-04's. Very well then.

^^^^^^Wide Band

-Shows Actual Air/Fuel ratio.

-Precise display of ratio on the rich side of “stoichiometric”, which is where all performance engines run. Usually displays Air /Fuel ratio to the second decimal place.

-Useful for maximizing power from race and other performance engines.

-Fully temperature compensated.

-Higher cost.

Narrow Band

-Shows indication of rich vs lean.

-Usually has very “coarse” display of ratio on the rich side of “stoichiometric. Some units only have 2 LEDs for the entire rich range!

-Really only useful for making sure your engine is not running on the lean side.

-Usually not temperature compensated, so the same air/fuel condition in the motor will result in an indication on the meter that will vary depending on sensor temperature.

-Low cost.

so why hasnt anyone dynoed......and i was told by a guy on another forum that this is risky to use bc it may be able to fry ur ecu??? is this true

If you read enough of the posts on this board, you will find out that SOME people could "fry" their ECU just by trying to replace a light bulb. There are a lot of cautions on the Bully Dog web site, and any time your reprogram memory in any device, there is some risk that it won't work right. So, you should never update your virus protection? Never update the drivers for your video card? Never install new software? If you are halfway competent, and read the directions, there will be very little risk with the Bully Dog, or similar devices.
