Has anyone done ECU upgrade on R58 here?
if so,
which company?
how many trouble free (CEL free) miles?

also,
any aftermarket CAI installed on R58?
if so,
which company?

been looking around the forum and don't seem like many actual posts from R58 JCW owners.
read here and there that R58 is pretty much same as R56 JCW but i'm getting mixed responses from shops.

thank you for the replys

PS
called HELIX (im close to philly area) and they aren't sure either.
Eric's been away and others weren't sure about ECU and CAI.

 

The NM Carbon Fiber Intake is perfect on my 2012 JCW.....GREAT prices on them at www.minidynamics.com

 

safe to assume when you said JCW, its R58?
thanks for the recommendation ScottG

spoke to Eric @Helix
seems like no ECU is available yet (according to him) for specific R58 purpose.

 

Yes....I have the 10th Anniversary Edition of the R58 JCW Coupe....you can also consider the AEM Intake but you have to remove the very nice and contoured heat blanket on the underside of the hood....erg....bonnet!

Pictures attached.

what is the difference between the two?
also the bracket change they mention on second one is kind of confusing.
wonder if it only pertain to N18 engines (S model)

 

would it be possible (when u ever have a chance) to ask for a picture of the intake installed in your car?
thank you!

was gonna have a shop install it but i may just do it myself...

 

Do you have an N14 or N18 engine?

And the R56 and R58 are the same from the waist down....aside from the different engines.

 

All R56 JCW or R58 JCW thru 2012 have the N14 motor.....

 

Yes I know, but the OP didn't state if he had a 2012 or 2013......

 

sorry, i should've made it more clearer.
my bad just assuming my sig is read by everyone.
it's 2012 so N14

been waiting for HELIX to reply with similar question.
i'll probably get the one you suggested (NM CAI) unless Eric @HELIX has something else, then which i will probably compare.

thanks for the help every one.

 

DOS CAI. A year of trouble free enjoyable sounds!

 

thank you
would you mind, also, posting or showing me picture of the intake installed when you ever get a chance? did it require any kind of drilling or cutting? thank you

 

Sorry, sigs don't pop up in the app.


You have a plethora of tuning option for the N14.
If you are close to helix they can tune it for you. I'm not sure if they use RMW maps or not, but either way you can't go wrong with them.

 

Oh good gods! Go to the web site and look!!! Do SOMETHING on your own.

DoS CAI

 

thanks for the kind words
believe or not, did do tons of research before asking some questions here. sorry if it annoyed you
scott was kind enough to send me some pics of NM installed in R58.
did order the NM CAI today
just waiting for it to arrive next week and hopefully find some time on a weekend to install it.

 

No kind words. Too many people wanting someone else to hand them everything.

 

i understand what you are saying.
just confusing sometimes trying to get JCW R58 pieces.
even the DOS site you helped with the link shows the CAI that had not been released according to the website, with expected release date of 3-28-13.

as I stated before, i get different responses regarding R56 vs R58 compatibility even from manufacturers.

regardless,
did order the NM CAI.
thanks everyone for their help.

 

Not sure why there's a release date on the dos cai as its been available for a long time now. Maybe it means 'in stock' because that's the exact cai I have and it's been on my car for a year.

 

Same with me. Clint with DoS makes an excellent product and an unique design for our cars. Had my DoS intake on my R55 before removing it and putting it onto my R58 JCW.

Basically you should not be searching in the R58 threads on the forum and look in the 2nd Gen Modification sections of the forum. If you have the N14 engine, pretty much everything out there that works for the 2nd gen cars will work for yours. I have an intake, intercooler, BoV, boost taps, oil catch can, Seafoam fogger, coilovers, sway bars, control arms, gp diffuser, 3rd brakelight relay, gauges, short shifter, etc... All made for the R56 and it all works 100% on the R58.

So trouble free miles on the R58 will be the same as trouble free miles on the R56.

 

thank you!
