Is "tunning" even a word?

Whether it is tuning, tunning, or tooning I will not be involved with it....

total thread failure... LOL

Jeeves915 · 05-06-2008, 11:40 PM

And now...returning BACK to topic:
So, those of us with the 6at tranny can shift over to DS and get different transmission shift points as well as different throttle mapping (at least from my reading). Will the Shark Edit be able to modify BOTH throttle maps (if this is even true)?

If so, that would be great for us who sometimes don't want our car in balls to the wall mode. Cruise around town chilling in D mode, and then kick it to DS when you want to show somebody what your taillights look like.

Thoughts?

That would be awesome, a tuned down version of D for better gas mileage, and a suped up version of DS for burning rubber

Soooo... To kick things up a notch, has Shiv weighed in yet on the Shark? It's like the elephant in the room. Anyone have the diplomacy to ask his opinion on all this (and, eeek, whether there are conceivable circumstances under which he would market a tune delivered via injector)?

i personally like to see more horsepower in REVERSE. i mean Drive gets all the fun. Neutral and park can Rev. But theres nothing going on for Reverse, just backing out of parking spots. I'd like to race someone in Reverse. can we make that happen with the shark edit?

Well there probably isnt going to be much more info on this product for another couple months so threads are not really helping much... Jim seems to be a busy guy or he just doesnt like forums so i guess we'll get some more info closer to July...

I wouldn't be surprised if they do. This has been discussed before but, look at what happened with the Evo market. They don't even offer a piggyback for the Evo now (X excluded). They offered the exede and a flash. The exede was popular because it allowed the end user to make adjustments however, once people had the option to flash the car themselves the Exede became pretty much worthless.

People still bought flashes from Vishnu though but, now they had the ability to fine tune things like idle and part throttle maps that the tuners don't always get right with the limited time they have on each car.

this is a wonderful idea. I wonder if it can be done.

Too bad Jim won't come here to answer all these questions. Reading through all the pages takes half a day, I doubt he can afford such a luxury. So we can go on with speculating, ideas, making fun of Kyle etc. just to kill some time until Jim joins the forum again, opens a new thread, posts some data +some answers if we're lucky and we can make another X*10 pages of BS once again

Cheers

Why is Jim waiting until June to release his product?
The product is ready isn't it?

Try July. Our only hope for anything sooner is if Kyle gets ahold of a Shark Edit from Jim and is allowed to distribute his custom tunnes.

ask him

I suppose making some finetuning on the tool + starting up the production of a few thousands of units is not that easy... BTW June is the OBD I release date (not for us), the OBD II is July.

I have seen it in action.

The program is just about finished, but he still has a ton of other work to get done as well.

He needs to get ALL THE DOCUMENTATION finished up. That right there is going to be a full time job for the next while. There will also be a forum (sharkedit.com I believe) that must be setup as well.

When this goes live, it will be ready to go.

As for the OBDII stuff being released a month later, that is for his own sanity. That will also give him time to test the bluetooth can interface.

I thought he was waiting b/c the printing press was on order...you know, to crank out the sheets of hundreds he'll be minting when the full Shark system for 335i hits the street at the [right] price point. This forum is just the tip of the iceberg - this must be a really busy time for him...and nothing but anticipation / impatience for us.

WHAT A GREAT TIME TO HAVE A FI-BMW.

he should release the OBD-II first than OBD-I

He is hedging. He seems open to this new world but at the same time he is pushing the V3 hard.
