Yes, it's likely going to be more about the ppk wheels than the power bump. How pretty and wide will they be vs the non ppk.

Try getting a 42 hp gain out of an S65 for $2500

This thread is a hot topic. If someone is 2500 miles from an install center, they have a long drive ahead of them.

Actually, it says neither. It's marketed as a gain of 91hp and 83tq. There's no doubt about that. Once you start looking at the graph you immediately notice something isn't right. I've never seen a performance upgrade marketed in such a way that you have to examine the dyno chart to see how much power "it's really making". And I'm sorry, for $2,500 a peak gain of 42 crank hp simply isn't worth the price of admission given what we've seen the JB4 pump out.

Also, what happens with launch control when you make more power? does it adjust or will it be useless? |

Dinan has a top-notch facility with two state of the art dyno's.
Last time I spoke with Steve Dinan he mentioned he was developing this piggyback unit and mentioned he would run it on the engine Dyno. In our thread, we discussed Dinan's Dyno capabilities. Dinan has engine Dyno and Dynapack Dyno. Last edited by Moderator; 09-16-2014 at 04:30 PM.. |

Maybe I miss read. OP's post 14 claims max of 42hp at 6k. I happen to be in an M4 2 weekends ago equipped with a beta jb4, it had a nice bump up in performance so you won't go wrong, and surely it will be much cheaper, but no warranty which I think is the big appeal to most here who are willing to pay for it.

Best thing is, as it precedes the ECU, BMW flashes will have no effects on the Dinan. So no more reflashes every time bmw tinkers under the hood.

I'll wait for more real world dynos/reviews comparing stock vs ecu, if I set everything to sport+ and floor it my car will show 480hp so it could be possible that this tube only gives 42hp.
Will there be any maps to increase fuel economy? That's one of the things I like about the JB4
