N55 stand-alone downpipe fix
So wouldn't it be nice to have a downpipe fix for the N55 separate from the piggies auto deleting it? I mean, I'd feel a hell of a lot better taking my car in for regular service by just having a downpipe fix intercepting the two 02 and simulate that shit while i took my whole tune out.
Most guys would hate to take their DP out every time they hit the service up right? Why doesn't BMS support N55 like they do the N54 in terms of a DP fix? I mean its cool that the Piggies can clear the code when its thrown, but why not stop that shit before it happens? I dunno, just a thought cuz when i come up for my regular service, i'm gonna be hard pressed to take my dp out and i know there's going to be a "SES" light staring the SA in the face. |

The CAN Tool works great as a DPFIX though. Just remove it when you drop the car off. It's not likely they will drive long enough on a highway to trigger the light when its in the service bay. You also get the in dash gauges, shift light, etc, with the CAN Tool. With the JB+ Quick Install tune the boost gauge is pretty accurate too. Mike |

Thanks Mike, I would have to drive to my nearest dealership which is 45 min away though. When i put my dp on it did take about that long for the light to come on and only showed up after i started the car after the trip. I guess i'll have to find a place to stop close to the dealership and take my tune out and hoping the SES light will stay off while there.

I just want to know specifically the psi. I'm thinking the P3 vent gauge is what I need. It appears to be an easier installation than the ECS Tuning pod as well.

I got the engine light and o2 sensor error after doing ca 4k km, which I thought wa quite unusual. then I plugged the CAN tool only once to clear the code and been driving without errors and codes ever since (almost two months)

I just bought my second can tool from BMS so I'm really interested in this. I'm going to do my own test runs as well to see how long it takes for the light to come on again. |

so turns out I created this thread a while ago ... lol. Still I dont think there is anything out there that works the same way as the dp fix for the n54?
I have to do state emissions every year, and i dont want to keep taking my dp off just for that. Iis BMS just not going to try and make a dp fix for us? I mean, i have a piggy and i can delete the cell no problem... but we all know you have to let the system become ready again before you do the emission test. Without the tune and a fix for the light, there's no way in hell i can get passed. Please make one somebody!!!!!! |

Correct. At this time for N55 we can delete codes, but that puts them in Not Ready. Texas, for example, considers Not Ready the same as Failed. The only thing you could do is clear codes, drive around till they change from Not Ready to Ready, and then get your car to the inspection location before the sensors have time to detect something is wrong and fail over to Failed.
At least that is my understand of how things stand for the N55 till we get a DP Fix.

If i understand it correctly once you drive the car around for a little bit it moves from Not Ready to Ready. Then you have to drive the car a bit more for it to detect something isn't right and move to Failed. So there is that tiny window there before the sensors detect a problem.

Because my state only checks for codes and not the air quality out the exhaust

Isn't that bad. Your engine will get hotter faster, cuz there won't be enough fuel to fully lubricate the pistons. Correct me if im wrong....

I'm in the same boat, had to remove my DP because of a "not ready" code that the emissions guy wouldn't pass.
What CAN tools are available for the n55? Does the BAV Tech tool work?
