Dinan to JB Tune

If you have a Dinan tune on your car and decide to move to a Juice Box tune, 3 or 4, is there any problems with simply installing the JB over the Dinan?

you can install JB+ over any flash, but we have discussed adding JB3/4 over a flash in the past. Just do a search, and enjoy reading the responses. Also, may I ask, why you're hellbent on destroying your car?

You can only run a JB+ or JB4 with the Dinan, JB3 wasn't made to work with a flash.. both are great solutions and you don't need to flash back to stock.

I'm considering stacking JB4 on top of Dinan Stage 2. I started to look up what my approx rwhp gain would be, and seem to have found some conflicting data. (My car, other than the tune, is stock except for CAI and FMIC. I run 92 Oct)

The N54 Tuning website states stock applications should use Map 1 (13 psi), which is actually about the same as my current Dinan tune. It shows Map 2 (14.5 psi) as suggest for those with downpipes and 93 octane. It shows Map 2 making 387 rwph.

The e90post N54 Tune Comparison Chart thread shows JB4 Map 1 as suggested for DCI, 91 Oct, and making 365 rwhp.

So, bottom line, with only CAI and FMIC, which Map can I run and be safe?

@ OP

If you value your warranty and want to scim it by with out worry then get Cobb. Its a value worth investing in and that will take you a long way with BMWs.

I am Pro Dinan, and I will only settle for Cobb as a secondary tune, as I can remove it on dime, and dont have to worry about meddling with the ECU compartment i.e keep your hands clean without tools.

If you dont care about your warranty then go ahead and do as you like Oink Oink

So, the thought of a JB upsets you?

Why?

The thought of always paying for Procede upgrades...

Piggybacks are perfectly capable of retaining warranty.....

According to Mike you really only need 93 octane and DCI to run map 2. Whether an upgraded FMIC makes up for timing lost by 1 octane is not my area of knowledge though, but I suspect you could.

Because he bought the opposing piggyback.

PROcede vs Juicebox reminds me of PS3 vs XBOX.

Bunch of yahoos arguing for whatever system they bought into on Sony's or MS' behalf.

Sad really..

Thanks for the response. Contacted Mike today and he thought my mods and Map 2 on 92 oct would be fine. He also mentioned Map 5 autotune.

No GIAC? GIAC puts dinan to shame, ha. Dinan would be a third for me.

To the OP, keep the dinan and get a JB+ "for use with tune." Check this link...

Can you flash Cobb over a Dinan tune? Or, do I need to take my car back to the dealer and have them flash it back to stock first?

You can install the JB4 over the Dinan as the JB4s absolute boost targeting will supersede the Dinan tune. Your map0 would be Dinan.

I would flash back to stock as there may be some inconstancies if going straight Dinan to Cobb. I would contact COBB to make sure as I am not an expert on that.

To clear some things up I am not trying to run both tunes. I simply want to switch from one to the other.

So this sounds like your best option, go JB4 and you can switch back to Dinan if you want.. not mention all of the cool features JB4 offers

And your point ? I think your going to much on the offensive side here. I said nothing about tune performance which is obvious what you are infering to. Last I checked your quoted me expressing warranty and convienience of a tune. How does GIAC stand up to Dinan when it comes to warranty ? This is the premise of my statement.

Yes you can flash Cobb over the Dinan tune. However in order to get Dinan flashed back to the car you will have to go into a Dinan dealer to have it done. The AP is not able to dump/backup the Dinan flash.

Agreeing with Mike yes you would want to flash to stock then to Cobb.
