Greg hasn’t been seen in days. By tracing his credit card charges at gas stations we can se he has been making his way toward Germany for a blast on the autobahn. Seriously, I’m totally stoked. It’s like the car I always dreamed it should be after seeing the BMW Guy Ritchie movie-ads when the car was new. I wrote a song for OJ as well.
Having not noticed that he only had 200 horses for the last 3 years, I doubt he actually drove it any differently AFTER the tune either: how could you not notice your M5 was pumping out less power than a Golf GTi?
Orfan Productions when you look at the torque pre tune it was around 260-280 in the 2000-3000 range which was not terribly far from the tube torque in that range. If he was using it as a cruiser/weekend car it probably didn’t feel off in that lower rpm range which probably masked the problem. I was really hoping we would get his initial impressions too.
@@johnbcardin Are you seriously trying to make excuses for this? That in 3 years of ownership - cruiser/weekend car or not - he never once accelerated past 2/3000 rpm? Yeah, ok man, you're right: it actually is totally understandable that he had no idea his car was 40% down on power the whole time.
Brian, Alex, I just watched this vid again cuz' I couldn't remember what was in it the first time I saw it. I literally got up out of my chair and genuflected to OJ as he made the last run. One of the best vids you have made! Bravo, bravo!
No word of a lie, my M5 had an Alpha N tune already but it generally was sluggish and very lacklustre to drive, even after fitting a 3.62 rear end. However once I'd done the IAT relocate mod and disconnected the MAFs, it genuinely started to come alive. It was improved for sure, but at the back of my mind, I thought maybe the cam sensors needed changing or something. But then today I wanted to replace my steering wheel, so I inadvertently reset the adaptations by disconnecting the battery. When I went for a drive in the evening, holy moly it really was a spectacular night and day difference. First gear is a blur and second gear gives me such a shove back in the seat that it brings a huge grin to my face. I wouldn't be surprised if my M5 showed similar gains on the dyno like this car here too.
This is one of the most joyful videos I have watched for a long time. I truly hope people recognize what a master OJ is and take their business to him. It would have been nice to see what, if any difference cleaning the MAF sensors made before the delete and tune.
Great video mate. I love the old school BMWs. I own a few BMWs (e38 740i&e39 530i) myself and currently doing some major work on my E38 740i. I would love to own an E39 M5, this has been my dream car since I was a child. Very educational video. Keep up the good work.
I kept telling mechanics that my car was sluggish. Their response? "Oh hehehe you're just used to the power so it doesn't feel as fast."🙄😒 Great to see someone who knows what they are doing.
I normally don't hit the like button on TH-cam. But I gotta say, this was cool. Well deserved the like. That's what experience looks like. Good Job, OJ.
My E39 M5 made the same 343WHP on the same dyno (DynoDynamics) with Alpha-N. Besides tune and rear mufflers my car is bone stock too. Great video proving the point of this channel once again: enthusiasts over stealers!
Not a BMW or Merc, but I had a faulty DPFE EGR sensor that didn't throw a code on a Ford. Always thought it didn't feel right power wise and boy was I right. Massive difference in power and MPG when I changed out that sensor.
I've had two E39 M5 and both had dirty MAF's. To check the status of the engine power output you can use the service menu in the instrument cluster (google it). Find the real time liter/hour measurement. At full throttle in 3rd gear (or whatever gear) at max rpm it should consume about 160 liters/hour. Mine did 100 liters/hour. I cleaned the MAF's and it was restored to 160l/h and surely felt quicker.
Loved seeing this I wonder what Gregg’s reaction on the road. Just shows like you said how important it is having a tune now and then. I’d say yours with mods 300, and his cars worth approx $20,000?
My dyno tuned E46 M3 makes 300 to 310 RWHP depending on temperature. I have seen naturally-aspirated versions of my S54 straight six make around 400 horsepower using special intakes and special tunes. It takes a lot of money just to gain that. Not sure how much. One guys tune came all the way from Dubai. The air boxes are all carbon fiber and cost a small fortune.
This man OJ is a jam to listen to, and thanx to you Alex for featuring him every time, im now subbed for he's channel, but your collabs (here in LSC channel are better).
The first thing i would have done by such weak performance: air filter check, cleaning the needle in the air mass sensor with break cleaner, check the sparks, run the car with injection cleaner addtitive reset the ECU and teach them new.
You must have done this so many times. But next time, if you use brake cleaner, first make sure you look at the big words on the front of the can. Then you`ll know you`ve picked up the right can. Don`t ever use break cleaner. That`s terrible stuff.
@@pauljoe780 The small needle in the air flow sensor can only be cleaned with hard chemicals and break cleaner is perfect for this, you dont need much, just a short spay and after soaking a second. It´s just about get rid of the dirt film.
Same sort of thing with the Land Rover Td5 in that the MAF will go bad but not throw a MIL, plug in a Nanacom Evolution or similar and it’ll throw a MAF value low error in the log but otherwise there’s no outward sign on the dash to indicate failure. Disconnecting the MAF will lead to a small increase in power but prevents the overboost function working correctly. The Nanocom at least will show you the air flow values and with 2 out of the 3 in the fleet showing zero it was time to replace a few MAF!
Hey Alex great video, wich adaption did oj reset? He said the ecu... But I can't find any way to reset the ecu with the bmw inpa software. Only mass air flow or lambda... Could you please explain what exactly he did? Maybe you could do a video with oj .. 😉
those airboxes sound good stock i can just imagine with cone filters although i feel the stock boxes are better for performance and flow well and colder!
That's pretty awesome. You basically re-found about 75% more horsepower. That being said, that's one thing I both love and hate about the complicated electronics these days. You have to be an electrical engineer to diagnose and fix modern vehicles...
To help diagnose that “sluggish” feeling without a CEL, you can check your volumetric efficiency. Several videos on TH-cam on how to and what to expect.
This is quite interesting every couple months I pull apart my MAF and throttlebody and clean it usually about every third oil change on my Subaru I have the flat six, but what is weird is the best thing to do is reset the ECM by disconnecting one of the leads to the battery resetting everything after doing the cleaning!
@@KurumaDesigns All the MAF sensors I have seen have a protective mesh screen on them. That has to be affecting the amount of air getting pulled into the engine, plus the sensor itself being right in the middle of the airflow. So I see them as restricting airflow and causing turbulence in the airflow.
@@theplayernkc if experts and the engineers behind them don't consider them a problem leave them there, no need tinkering with smth that doesn't affect anything
@@95freakout What experts and engineers said to leave an item in the intake system that obstructs the airflow when it's no longer needed to be in the intake system for the vehicle to run, especially when there are 2 of them?
Had a 328i with a bad maf I would unplug it to reset it back to factory values and the car would break traction .. granted I did do lots of work to the car but in the beginning it was drifting with the open diff ..
Maybe this is dated info, but, with this being a Chicago area car where large temp swings occur, isn’t Alpha-N going to cause running issues as the temp scale swings? I thought Alpha-N was really for predictable whether conditions (and altitude) and had to be adjusted for variances. Great for race cars because you are setting it for race day conditions. So, even if this is a three season car, you can see a lot of variance in the Midwest. I am just a couple hours from Chicago myself so I know what it can be like here.
Awesome Video as usual, there was only one thing you forgot! I would have liked to seen even a five second clip of him driving the car for the first time after the tune. I can speculate that he was smiling like the Cheshire Cat and laughing like the Mad Hatter! Great job again!
There are a few cars that you just can’t see past; cars like the W204 C63 and E39 M5. No matter which team you’re running for, those can’t be hated. They stand on their own - no matter a Merc or BMW badge.
A great video. Should all cars be taken to a tuner such as this to see how they are performing? My 2005 E55 is in the Pacific Northwest so its not going to Fluid Motor Union. :-( How does anyone find a good tuner for these kinds of cars in their local area? Thanks Alex. Always fun watching these.
In the part 2 video we explain that we removed the pins from the MAF portion but left the pins for the intake temp sensor. That way it still reads the intake temps.
Great Video! I know you say this can be done with other cars. However I keep hearing that my E46 M3 will only do what it's gonna do unless bolt on mods are done (for the most part). I'd love to find out this is not so.
That's cool. That's also why I don't trust stock mystified ecu's. A standalone can run whatever sensors you want, no hard to find parts needed. But then it won't be "original" anymore. Oh boy what a loss. Anyway, the real issue would be something else, as far as I understood OJ said the car runs in sensorless mode. What if he went to a wildly different elevation? He'd not only lose power, but either run too rich/lean which could be bad for the engine. It didn't seem to be correcting much from the 02 sensors as he had to make a few runs and correct the afr's manually.
Dyno Dynamics dynos are by far 1 of the best eddy current dynos in the world. Not to mention they are made in Australia which like Motec and other Aussie Products is light years ahead of many other products - IMHO ;-)

342 rwhp, 47k$
338whp, 60k
305 hp and his car is worth whatever Carmax will give.lol
About 350 Whp, And Ask Hoovie, he will overpay :P
320rwhp and his car is worth $39k
nice to see professionals actually fixing/improving cars, not just talking about it.
These two are the best :)

Since he doesn't need the MAF any longer, could he remove them to allow better air flow and gain some more power?
