It is a middle school equation, but ones used everyday in all control systems in some capacity or other. What else would you want to use when converting a linearized analog signal to engineering units?

The advancements in the techology comes from faster processing and more accurate signals. But the basic math still applies, just faster and more accurate.

What amazes me to this day is that men were sent to the moon some 40 odd years ago, without the computing power and technology we have today. Simply astounding!!

Yeah, but the software was written with an insane amounts of scrutiny and attention to details, something that's very hard to find nowadays.

I just sincerely hope its not a marketing ploy. Rob has stated factual info and to say its just a simple "heres the voltage present it" is obviously incorrect and something I think Shiv already knew.

I guess my problem is that I really do try to see the best in everyone and not everyone puts their best foot forward. I guess I'll keep thinking that since it's sorta why I went into the field I did and live my life the way I do. To everyone else who has their head in the clouds like me :cheers:

I agree with everything you have said, unfortunately the value of integrity can't be taught. It's consistent to a persons character to the extent that acting according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.

In light of this, I admit that it's troubling to continually see posts after post Shiv aggravating folks with misinformation or making comments that seem to have ulterior motives, sounding deceptive for the purpose of gain or act superior to others. In the end people aren't stupid, Shiv is hurting himself since there many potential customers that will choose to give business who they respect. Kudos for all the accomplishments tho!

Shiv,
not sure if you've seen this. This is Luke's car from this months Texas Mile, running a built motor, 30psi and a Precision 67mm. He has a 6 speed swap but was out of gearing by the 3/4 mile mark and was riding the limiter the last 1/4 mile.

he plans on bumping it up a few more psi, taller rear end, and break 210mph in the mile which is damned good for an e36.

I'd like to see a 335 beat this in the next 3 years.

oh, and about all that tape, when he didnt break 200mph his dad went nuts with the tape hoping it would help. didnt make a difference .

I am so glad I accidentally stumbled on this post!!! Damn JB4 is not developed enough in my opinion. Although a lot of people run that tune, I wish the company would be more generous to their customers.

I have never owned a turbo car until last year I purchased the F30 335i twin turbo, I've worked on my buddy's 86 944 Turbo to familiarize the differences between NA cars. But never really had the chance to apply the knowledge....plus that was a Porsche built in the 80's...Bimmers now have so many sensors and controls one light on your dash can mean anything!!

I agree with the OP. I live in Texas....and my JB4 Stage 2 MAP 2 after 11 months SHUT MY CAR OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING!! I was going about 23 mph tops. If I really wanted to go after Terry Burger and cause a huge fuss I would, but Jon who I assume is their head tech has been very helpful but he still cannot figure out what the issue is.

Now that the OP mentioned heat...that might be it! I will send the JB4 back see if the ground sensor or something got fried on the JB4. I mean BMS does sell REPLACEMENT HOUSINGS for the Stage 2 box....there must be a reason and it's quite obvious.

Next time I am referring all my BMW, Porsche, and Audi buddies to avoid BMS like the plague. Their software and hardware design, interface, and trouble is just not worth it to save a few measly bucks!!!

At least with the MPPK or Dinan you have the warranty of a peace of mind. Even my local BMW specialist tuner shop said worst case if it's not the charge boost sensor then it means you fried your DME.....great sets me back at least $2,500 + labor right?

Cool story bro. Here is where the fanbois are created.

Shiv???????

[alexchen86]

Fan boys or not...this is how companies have a good reputation alongside a bad repuation. There's always 2 sides to every coin. Sometimes you're lucky and you praise that brand or company as if they did you a favor.

Do you honestly think a Toyota Tacoma can get to $40k?! Who in their right mind pays for such a bogus mini-truck? Don't even get me started on Corollas, Camrys, Accords...could go on all day.

Still can't believe how expensive Civics are nowadays!! But everyone purchases a car for various reasons....some want looks and performance, others just want 4 tires and a motor to get to work, others need it to load/tow for work, and others just need it big enough to take kids to soccer practice.

But comparing the effort put into every little detail of a truly iconic American car from the early 20s to the late 60s...America really revolutionized the automobile industry and actually not only made it affordable but also beautiful.

Now we get a remake of the Pinto...but let's call it a Focus instead and have a professional WRC driver team mod the heck out of it and sponsor up for rally racing.

But with all jokes aside the Focus RS is actually a very well built hatch if you're into hatches and under a tight budget. Can't believe R&D's testing beat out the Abarth 500.
