Bootmod3 stage 2 E30 OTS tune safe?

Desking101 · 03-27-2023, 09:14 AM

Not sure if anybody has an answer for this, but is this tune going to be safe? I will be running this once I get my downpipes in, and it looks like it makes 700/750. Is that a safe level for these cars or have people been experiencing failures on just the OTS tunes?

There are no guarantees, but if it was me, I would not be concerned. I run the BM3 OTS Stage 2 for 93 with the required supporting mods and also a JB4 controlling water/meth and adding up to 5 psi on top.

As long as you run the recommended fuel and mods, it's safe.

You can also datalog and see how the car handles the power.

I will be going one step colder plugs since bootmod3 recommended through email. Sucks to change plugs again since I just did it, but wanna be safe

NGK 97506, which I think are the factory N20 and S55 plugs. Some gap them down to .020 - .024 from .028.
