NERVOUS ABOUT CHIPPING!

[AndersLS]

Hello Forum....I am a nervous fellow. Is there ANYTHING to worry about when chipping? Can the car take it?? (320i/89)

[dazleeds]

no prob with chipping a 320i at all

[smithy318i]

What chip you putting in?
Mine has had no problems after chipping! The only problem I had was waiting the 10 minutes at idle. (because i wanted to it)

[dazleeds]

y didnt ya tell me u were chipped smithy could have had a little drag race yesterday

[smithy318i]

I thought I mentioned it.

[dazleeds]

Bargain mate

[AndersLS]

Ok guys.....why is there such a big difference in price? Some chips cost
300 quid...others 25 quid...what gives. It seems the cheap ones give more HP/NM....check "Superchips"...only +10 HP...?? Other cheaper chips give 15-20 hp.......I "conundrummed"!!!!!

Zone chips cost Ԛ£55, and are tried and tested by almost half of the lads on the zone.. if they didnt work i guarentee you, there wouldnt be as good a reputation as there is

ECU Chipping.Post 88 motronic Priced @ Ԛ£55inc delivery for easy DIY fitting

For Paypal use chips@e30zone.co.uk, please include a return address.

We can offer two chips to suit your 6-cylinder e30,

Zone 1: this chip is fairly extreme, it gives much improved response to
throttle inputs, the idle is raised to 900 rpms to aid in smooth progression
from idle to full throttle.

It features a higher (7K rpm) limit and has a unique tweak to help with
acceleration through upshifts, this chip features heavily revised fuel and
ignition curves which remove all the flatspots normally associated with the
M20 engine, an excellent midrange power boost and improved full throttle
response.

This chip has seen gains of 7-12hp on its own, with a similar torque
increase, this really is as good as an off the shelf chip can be, you can
add this chip to a stock engine and achieve good results,however it will
really shine when combined with a bored throttle body, and especially when
used with a cam or in conjuction with a capactiy increase

Zone 2: this milder chip will give increased response throughout the rev
range with idle characteristics similar to the original, this would
typically yield a 4-7 HP gain and improved drive-ability. If you don't plan
any internal engine mods then this ones for you.

This chip also works very well on automatic cars, thanks to the smooth
delivery and almost stock idle

Please specify engine size when ordering , Thanks

We can offer more tailor made chips to suit specific needs if required,
again contact us for details

what one did u get widge?

[Widge]

He he (evil laugh) I got the wild one, and it goes really well.
And now I have a BBTB which made a huge differance, and I've got an Alpina cam to go in soon, which shuld release some more ponies.

[johnono]

320? was it a standard before the chip, and what difference did u notice?

[Widge]

Ah no sorry mate, it's a 325. Totally standard before - including 166,00 miles The only mod it has now is the BBTB and chip, haven't even got around to doing a panel filter, although it does have a clean one in.

[mrLEE30]

silly questions but how do about getting a zone chip, and if i run an auto 320 would the wilder chip be ok? will do the BBTB thing when i get round to it.

Send an email to the address in the post above.
And I'm not sure about the auto, I suppose it makes no differance at all, although (I may be way off on this) any exra power may be lost in the tranny slightly. ask ant he'll know of anyone who has done it.
