S50/M50 Turbo Tuning
Posted: Fri May 08, 2020 8:45 pm
Hello, I have collected most of the parts for a turbo build on my 95 M3. I will either use the S50 or build an M50b30. 506 DME. I have a 540i MAF and plan on using 42# injectors and pump gas. I believe that will get me to my goal of 350-400 whp. I have been researching the tuning and I think all of the info I have been reading is overwhelming. It is, of course, on tuning the factory DME I am referring to.
I have also looked into some stand-alone ECU options, and those have their own challenges. I have successfully DIY tuned a Megasquirt system so I am familiar with tuning but it has been 5 years since.
So, to help me decide, I have some questions.
Is your software more user friendly than TunerPro? I'm hoping I can just tune. I have read your papers on calibrating for MAFs and scaling injectors, but I think you already have files for my choices.
It seems like you offer great support. If I run into problems, will you help with issues and tuning?
Will my 540 MAF work on forced induction?
Data logging, what do you recommend?
Thank you.
