Hi All

quick question is it possible to get a S50B30 remapped, or is this only possible with the S50B32

thanks

Bit of a distance but highly recommended :D

Hi there,

Just gave them a call, they said not something they can do. :(

I have been in contact with shepevo3 he said it's something he can do. So just waiting to hear back from him

thanks

Paul should definitely be able to sort it for you.

Otherwise Chipwizards in Manchester or you could get in touch with Uwe on here about a contact he has that can re-flash your ECU.

No much from my source for the B30 I am afraid excpet EWS delete etc.

Would be better to map this on the Dyno IMHO

That can be live tuned on the dyno using an emulator.

Alot easier then the B32 even.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

Yes he can Uwe...
re-map and vanos remap if you send him both modules :)

Best to dyno map it though if you've got somebody to do it of course.

The b32 is only worth doing to be honest and even at that its silly to not go the whole hog and get rid of the MAF as there's a good bit of potential from the 3.2s :)

Thanks guys for the info, has anyone here had their car (S50B30) mapped or know of someone that has?

If your interested, can re-map your ECU to run with no MAF, Alpha-N type setup.

Paul would probably be able to do the same thing for you though. He's done enough S14s anyway :D

The answer is YES, got the S50 mapped by Paul, they did a great job the car pulling throughout the rev range. Dyno read out 292bhp

Well pleased winkeye

back in Dec i got the car on the dyno for a power run .... and only pushed out 261bhp but my throttle bodies needed replacing as they used to get stuck when the car had heated up. So got them replaced and the car felt a lot quicker.

When Paul put it on the Dyno It was 284 which was not bad... but torque was really bad, infact from 3000-4000 it actually dipped down. and the AFR was very bad as low as 10

car running a lot smoother now :D

Just caught up.. been a very, very busy year so far lol..

Great to meet you Satty, your car looks awesome in that colour and looked a well looked after car.

The car was very low on torque low down, especially throughout the mid-range where the AFR's were very rich. Infact the car was running very rich everywhere. We were able to live map the ECU on the dyno and the road and got a great gain throught the rev range on full and part throttle.

Hopefully, everything is still good :)

Great news! Ok, look forward to transforming the S14 M3.. there is some things I'd like to try like converting to a MAP or MAF instead of going Alpha N style of tuning.. It could be a whole lot cheaper way to go? Would work with the CF airbox too.. just let me know when you are ready and I'll sort out some kind of estimate/quote for you :)
