Full Akra Evo with Akra DP's here, car is a beast, can't wait to track it

parabmw · 02-01-2018, 06:03 PM

Does anyone know how long Alex has been tuning this platform and in general?
His website doesn't mention his experience and can't find much on the forum.

Trying to make an inform decision here.
Alex can you chime in?

I have not been tuning this platform that long, about 1 year. I have tuned E9X M3's for a very long time. I work with a large network of other tuners, shops, and other aspects I can not speak of. I have been in this industry for over 9 years and have a great deal of understanding the vehicles.

I can tell you from the start I am not here to tune for the highest numbers and fastest cars. My goal is long lasting vehicles with OEM like reliability with the added power as much as possible. Safe power.

Customers running a tune on their vehicle for the first time and customers who switched from other tuners all right away rave about how smooth the power delivery.

With this platform having issues with spun crank hubs my belief is the large spikes in torque and lower end power delivery (turbos boosting in too soon) add to the spun crank hub issue. A vehicle from 0 takes the most pressure all around then from a roll. I take this into considerations and try to keep the power delivery smooth.

I hope previous customers can chime in the power delivery...

The man speaks the truth, power delivery on a 6mt in all modes - efficient, sport, sport + are buttery smooth

parabmw · 02-01-2018, 09:20 PM

Does anyone have a dyno or datalogging for one of his tunes?
I can't imagine Alex has tuned this platform with any of these?

Couple should be coming soon

edwinm3 · 02-01-2018, 10:05 PM

I'm a track rat and how the power is delivered is very important to me, this tune maintains acceleration very smooth.

Why are there no dynos or datalogging if you've been tuning this platform for a year?
And how were the tunes developed without either?

My apologies if it's been asked and answered already, But are these not dyno tunes?

I have dyno'd and I have tested, but as practice I do not post. You will shortly see results people are dyno'ing.

Do you modify the CS/GTS maps at all or do you account for the fact that the hardware is different than a normal m3/m4 (e.g. no water injection, etc..)?

The CS has a larger oil capacity. The GTS has larger oil capacity + injection. You can not directly put a CS or GTS map into a standard M3/4.

I take everything into account, as previously stated there is only so much you can openly speak about.

Alex,

Do you have OBD tunes + GTS SW for M2 DCT ? If so what are the options/minimum requirements for each ?

Cheers
