ive bought a 325 that has supposedly been chipped .. how do i find out if the seller was telling porkies .. ?

ive not driven a standard one and this one is an auto so slower then a standard manual neway

just wanna find out if he was or wasnt lying really

Pull the ecu lid off and see what is inside

easy as that wicked ... where is the ecu ... hope i can get to it one handed

and thats why i should use the search tool its above my right knee and i need to drop the trim under the steering wheel

ok well the chip in this one says m20b25 alpina 192bhp



now that is a wild claim for a m20b25 which i guess is otherwise standard but i would kinda like to get it on a RR to see what it actually makes lol

it's probably a clone of the alpina chip but unless you have the 6 branch manifold, head work and cam to go with it, 192bhp is just a tad unlikely

not unlikely but optimistic you never know he could have although i highly doubt it!

if it's 'been chipped' then that suggests it's not been worked over by alpina or similar

if 192bhp could be achieved with a chip alone, not many folks would go to the effort of fitting a 24V m50 to get that power....

Plant your foot to the floor and find rev limit

I thought chipping an auto wasn't a plan generally

somtimes depensing on the chip people put a sticker on the ecu.

edited: nothing to see here, move along.

^he he,
