If they have a 2wd dyno they can run your car.
It is always better to run haldex in 2wd mode.
Remove fuse 31 to put the car into 2wd mode and away you go.

There used to be one in my town, it was the only place to get rechargable batteries, I remmember when having rechargable batteries was like having a tv with a remote controller and no wire.

My god, are there any tandy stores around these days ? ive not even heard the word tandy since I was a kid and yes, as you said, they used to sell twin boards, even in plcc format 32 and 44.
Maplins come along as far as I know but tandy was like the spectrum 48k of the electrics stores

Its hard to say but I would guess its stock.

totally different, the e36 codes all have 358 in the software, 358 means ews

Thats original by the looks of it, are there any noticable solder marks on the pins of the chip or do they look original ?

read your pm speedtouch

This is simple.
You use a 27c512 and write map one to the higher side of the chip and map two to the lower side.
You run a wire from pin2 of the chip to switch from h/l.
Upper bytes start 0000f in the source.

The flash speed of the micro is faster on the 320 post 1988, before then both were identical appart from the dip chip.

1267 is the software number, this shoul dbe matched if the car was chipped properly, it doesnt mean the car is not chipped now.
Post a pic of the ecu inners showing the chip.

AMD is the maker, these were also used aftermarket.
does the chip have a window ?
Post a picture of the chip.

What year is the e30 ?

This is really tit for tat when the truth is simple, the facts are that there are only a couple of companies that offer 318iS tuning and in truth, as a member here there is only one choice, the shop who sponsor this site. These cars are too old for any revolutionary mapping to come out of the woodwo...

That's very nice. You can make a 335d give that sort fo torque quite easily. Transmission is not designed to take that sort of power though and won't last very long. Tuning needs to have a certain level of responsibility, it's not just about how much power you can extract. Sal I agree with you, but...

*plug* did a 335d for autocars fighting torque competition and they were quoted as saying it was the car of the day, over 700nm torque.

I think the easiest way to think of this is that all reputable companies will do a decent job and if a way of getting work is by knocking the competition then the battle is allready lost.

Can i have the same? Polo GT not a M42 tho

Yes of course, I think this would be great, what year is the polo? maybe ths would be an oppertunity for evolve to submit there work for later cars and prove they are the best.

How things change, SD1 too F1 although the the pug 107 1 litre at a healthy 72hp is a dream to drive and at Ã‚£6400 on the road and Ã‚£82 a year fully comp returning 62mpg you cant lose as a daily driver.

Andy, your father must have had some sweet cars as well at that time ?
I had an SD1 2600, not as good as the 3500 V8 but not ad for an 18 year old.

Actually andyboy is correct, the 320d will destroy the 318is even a stripped out one.
Also, there is no life in the tuning market left for the 318iS or even the e30 if truth be told but that wasnt the point of my earlier posts.

Actually, as its clear your car is your pride and joy, would you be willing to have it mapped again, for free and on a dyno dynamics dyno with all runs done in shootout mode and pitch the chip you have fitted to one made on your car with the use of an emulator ? If no gains are made your costs for t...

Actually the person im speaking for has spent over Ã‚£1,000,000 on a unit and dyno and equipment. The post above isnt trying to make an argument, you see, the thread is designed to discredit another product which is easy to do when the other product isnt represented so the best thing for all concern...

I think this thread is missleading and ill try to explain why. Knocking "other" makers of the 318iS chips is easy 2 years on, but the fact remains that whilst all other tuners were trying to get a chip to work only one company managed it and with great results. Yes, lots of work was involved includi...

Refering to my comment ?

Customer feedback will be good, these cars are great to chip, the difference in feel of the car is superb from idle through max rpm.
Its not all about power, there are cars where we actually lower final power output to give better feel which sounds odd but is the case on quite a few cars.

I will get a chip over to you but problem is, there is more chance of me winning the lottery (and I dont even play it) than getting 21hp from a chip on the 325i.

Explained in pm.

They essentially increase power by extending the upper rev limit from the rather conservative 6,250rpm that the standard BMW program gives This is not the case, by 6250rpm the cam has done its job and increasing rpm only aides drivability under hard driving conditions but will NOT give extra power ...

I personally read the file in your code, it has ch|ppeduk in the last line 042F0 of the binary code. How do you write your own software ? Whats your timing advance at 1100rpm and 20% load on your 325i file ? Its no big deal, maybe you buy this software through someone else then simply copy and sell ...

Speedtouch does indeed offer some decent chips, reason we know this is that his 325i chip is a copy of ch|ppeduk`s 325i chip.

c h i p p e d u k

If you give chippeduk a call, tell him of your problem and im sure he will send you a chip on trial or return, you would have nothing to lose.

Yes, the milage is in the key, the sop8, the dash clocks and the ews

it splits in half, use a very thin razor or knife and prize it open.
inside is a small black code chip that controls the data to the ews system via the dongle on the ignition barrel.

The cluster has a micro8 chip which needs to be either removed or have the code altered with the correct read.

On line 4 the code starts with chassis number and then milage, alter this, refit the chip and away you go.
