Hello peeps from the northwest,
VF Engineering's awesome HEX ecu flash is going to be offered by Achtuning, locally at their Redmond facility. I'm setting everything up with Kelly and, if we get enough quorum, VF Engineering will fly one of their techs over to Achtuning to do an ECU flash event with their software. We're trying to make this happen within the coming 2-3 weeks, sort of a group buy... the more people we get together for this the better. This is way better than having piggy backs or plug n play boxes; oh and no need to send your ECU to a shop or to VF to get it flashed!!! If you're interested please chime in and I'll work on getting a list ready so that Kelly and the boys at Achtuning can figure out a date that works for us all. If you'd like to get more info from Achtuning themselves, feel free to contact Kelly directly at 425-895-0000 ext.705 or shoot him an email to kelly@achtuning.com Interested:
For those of you unfamiliar with the software and how it works or curious about the gains with each stage, check out the Official VF Engineering's post on this forum here: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1258574 Last edited by HuanLeBrown; 06-13-2016 at 03:19 PM.. |

I wish I could help. Achtuning is like 200yards from where I work. For the money it isn't worth it as I already have the JB4. The HEX has more torque down below and remapping of the perf gauges but not worth the funds. If they make a stage 3 and open up the fueling for Pure S2 quick spool turbos, sure.

Also, those stated gains are to the wheel... I'm still going thru the official forum thread for the tune, still learning and asking about pros/cons and reviews. |

Yes stated gains are at the wheels and as far as S2 on pump and S2+ on 100octane I have almost exactly (slightly higher) RWHP both in peak and in max gain. Torque however, they have about 70ish more from 2.5-4.5k. might think about the trans flash. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Well, counting 2 service appointments, another trip to have my intercooler radiator replaced (road debris damage), and another trip to the dealer to re-align front bumper and headlights due to terrible job replacing the damaged radiator...yeah several times already, and I always unplug my module as CYA...
Yeah, I'm still going thru the forums learning more about the tune. For now I'm going with Stage1 and the HEX tuning tool so I can enable and disable features/tune at will. Quote:

Surely there's got to be at least one more taker out there...

I plan on touching base with VF on stress tests completed on the engine with the tune on. Mostly concerned about the long term durability since I bought the car. Have you guys seen much on that topic?

Just spoke to Kelly and we can get this started with 4 pre-paid for VF to come out, I asked Kelly to jump into this thread so that he can figure out next steps.

Looks like this is a go on 16th and 17th of this month! Talk to Kelly to reserve space!
