Try playing with map 6 settings and add a few more lbs above when you're hitting on map 1. Highest numbers I'm able to hit are 21psi before I start getting overboost errors that can only be reset via Carista or my GT1 laptop.
Yeah, I found out that I was getting a lower than usual sampling rate on my logs since I had a Bluetooth OBDII code reader sitting in the port that was fighting for resources with the JB4, so now I only put the dongle in when needed because it's still using resources even if I'm not using any apps connected to it. |

In the past and with other vehicles, I experienced lost torque and lost fuel economy for the sake of better sound. To my surprise, this one has responded well to the exhaust. The butt dyno recorded a noticeable increase in torque and quicker spooling of the turbos immediately after the Akrapovic was installed. Carl Hugh @ Active Autowerkes has taken special interest in my vehicle and has modified my tune each step of the way, so mine is no longer a canned tune, but one that is specific to my vehicle and its modifications. I may do the headers and adjust the tune for that, but that will likely be my last mod... This thing is already very responsive and violent. Not sure if it can handle much more without breaking something. |

I firmly believe that any source of exhaust restriction removal in a turbo car is not a waste. The bigger restriction removal the better. CC was my first target.
Every turbo vehicle I have ever owned has seen significant improvement from this strategy. The BMW was no exception. |

It took several tune revisions and Pure Turbos to bring the torque back. I was skeptical about doing the full exhaust, but this time it worked and feels more powerful than ever. Mine is totally a free flowing system with DPs and Akrapovic, but I'm still wondering if some back pressure would help bring back more torque? ...or perhaps the DPs eliminated enough turbo lag so that the sensation of having a hard push in the back as the car accelerated was less prominent?

Mods to the exhaust need tune adjustments...the torque is there and better, but if the ECU is tuned to run different tables at certain RPM's based on a certain exhaust, changing the exhaust or anything for that matter means those tables need to be moved around. Turbos wanna breathe though.

Currently putting together the parts I'm going to need for this swap...
So far it looks like besides the manifold and turbos also need all oil, coolant, intake ducts and charge pipes since these are all slightly different designs seems some parts can be reused though Plan is to redo vacuum, cvv with catch cans, meth inject and see what happens when I push the boost |

Please let me know if you hear something different. Just had to spring another $1000 to go from forged rods to billet because the rod forgers all look at the design and angle of it and say "no thanks." I really am considering the billet turbo wheels on ebay and having them rebuilt while off the car. Anyone had that experience yet? |

There's a bunch of us already running methanol injection on the S63, and even though I've been able to optimise my system using the biggest nozzles I'd recommend running, actual performance increase is negligible, with intake cleaning being the major benefit with this setup. Adding water increases octane, but also displaces oxygen-containing air, so there's always a balance to be struck. You can run added oxygenated fuels, but without specifically tuning for a precise known blend, you risk messing with stoiciometric ratios and leaning out. Why not just throw in a wet NOS system, and cook your transmission (if the rods hold up).

Currently running on map3 and the truck is brutal and that is 19 PSI, stock is designed for only 18, s63tu turbos are 22... I'm not planning to break anything and want to maintain reliability

Keep an eye on your fuel system - if you've optimised the settings on MAP3 with existing turbos, you're already maxing out the factory LPFP.
No point trying to increase the boost if you can't add more fuel (WMI doesn't substitute as additional fuel).

Seeing its such common place for N54 guys to upgrade their stock LPFP with Walbro units (aftermarket and home how to's are online) I've been curious about how hard it'd be for us to do. I've swapped fuel pumps buckets before, just never adapted an aftermarket fuel pump into a stock bucket. I'm also curious if the S63TU HPFP is any different than ours?

The in the tank one is the same...The high pressure pumps on the engines are different

Didn't help that the S63 low sales figures made interest in developing a solution pretty dismal. One thing that was noted from the vendor was the LPFP was a very capable pump of getting fuel to the front... And one thing noted from me was those $40k race motor S63 builds claim to have altered camshaft strategies to overdrive the HPFP... Love to hate this platform so much... such a tiny niche. |

From what I've read the HPFP in the TU platform needs help once you push boost past 24 PSI. If this is different from the non-TU HPFP then it's likely we can swap to the TU version and supplement with meth injection like they are doing. The lower compression ratio on the non-TU engine supplemented with TU HPFP's, turbos, manifold's, meth might be able to handle more ... but only time will tell. My goal is a reliable 700+ and a 10 sec 1/4 nothing unrealistic just going to take time, money and patience |

Question about my 2000 BMW X5 4.4i
I have a 2000 BMW x5 4.4i. The rear air suspension is all the way down, I
checked the fuse and its ok, I checked the pump by bypassing the wires and it's ok the pump works fine. When I turn the key to the on position, the pumps turns on, but only for a couple seconds then it turns off, I checked and replaced the relay and still does the same thing. The pump only turns "on" for one second, has someone had the same problem before?? Please help |

Great thread guys! So just to be clear, it's not agreed that S63TU manifolds will can simply be swapped in with some machining for power benefits, as the cross bank design will throw off the O2 sensor map algorithm?

I talked to George in South Africa and he said he resolved that problem by simply swapping the 02's from left to right, but said it made the truck feel completely different in regards to spool, which makes sense since the passages are larger and the crossbank design itself.

Interesting attempt to fix, but the DME is programmed for left and right bank... so just swapping O2 sides doesn't resolve issues as a whole when you have mixed left and right bank outputs.
From what I understand... The DME responds to A/F changes in a precise measurement by measuring the output after each cylinder fires. The TU manifold defeats the ability to properly compensate for 4 of our cylinders without significant tuning of the DME stack. |

Agreed, I'm just passing on what I was told. I've watched my JB4 and the banks at most vary around .2 between left and right so I don't know how dire critical it'll be in the bigger picture. Nevertheless I'm guessing/hoping the increase in spool and power will make it moot so long as that variance stays the same.
