Feeling Sluggish?

rideelement247 · 07-14-2008, 02:51 PM

So my 335i feels a little slower now and I have no idea why. Reloaded my V2 maps and firmware and that helped. Yet, every once and a while I put it to the floor and it just seems slow... Anyone else experience this? I have been driving my 500+hp camaro more recently and maybe that's it...but the 335i just feels more disappointing as of late. Could it be a boost leak? The UR CAI is on correctly as are the Forge DVs, the hoses are tightly clamped on and everything. Any suggestions? Had my oil changed about 2000 miles ago so it can't be old oil. Anyone got any suggestions on what to check?

I would check the vacuum lines going into the solinoids.
This happened to me once.

What % is your v2 at? It couls also be the Camaro.

you should darn well know the camaro can hotlap all day long in this hot summer and turbo cars will feel the pain of the heat.

check some 100 octane out and let us know if it goes faster

I'm at 90%. I can go 93% on my 93 octane but I feel little misfires occasionally on those settings so I backed off to 90% again.

I have done 103 octane and pushed 100% and that feels amazing. I'm more concerned about my 90% DD settings. Sometimes it will pick up nice and quick, other times it will be slower on the getting up an going. I feel like I'm waiting for V-Tec or something

You need a boost gauge. I was seeing 18PSI on v2.0.2 at 90% in 90 degree weather. I assume FLA is quite hot right now.

In 80 degree weather I had to take it to 88% to stay in the 16PSI range.

Unfortunately my funds are a little lacking due to the Camaro. So much money is drained into that thing but boy is it fun to drive. 4 speed manuals are fun to romp around. Traction is a big issue though which needs money to address that issue

besides a boost guage, I think V2 is just a bust and you should upgrade to the V3 which is totally amazing difference...Smooth as silk and so far for me no worries about boost spikes and shit....Unfortunately V2 didn't produce what it was promised to do, but V3 is absolutely flawless....I would leave the settings on the V2 even lower than 90% just to be on the safe side!
When i had V2 i consistently seen spikes of 16.5 at 90% settings during 90 degree whether....since I saw that i just never WOT the car until a solution was found and the solution was V3! I had to pay the price for it especially going from V1 to V2 to V3, but for all its worth to you, it worth it price in gold because of the smoothness of the engine and tranny!

Weird thing is is on my datalogs I show 14.3 PSI max @ 90% and 14.6 max @ 93%. I will either upgrade or turn the settings down a bit.

Dude its been discussed about a million times, In fact Ocha made a big stink about the Procede Reader showing false readings...If you see a log where the peak spike is shaped like a flat plateau, then thats where the spikes are...the reader only shows up to 15 because of the resistors in the green wire...In the beginning i used to rely on the Procede Reader too, then reading about these flat spots on the logs, i installed a boost guage and logged it again and on the reader it read 14.7 but my boost guage read 16.6!!!!!!!! Do yourself a favor and take it easy on the car if your leaving the settings the way they are now, or just lower it, but get a boost guage for sure especially when your boosting more than stock...Your best solution now is save up some dineros and get the V3 upgrade..Its pretty awesome...Smooth and no more spikes from what I personally have experienced.

Upgrading to V3 should be a priority. It's been perfect and hits boost targets accuratley no matter what the weather is.
