M52 chip swap or remap ECU

[rich318i]

never been to a dyno centre before, do they just remap the whole ECU or just change the chips ?

[e30-EVN]

just get danthe to do it.!

bet he would be cheaper and i had mine done... transformed the car especially after 4500. 7k rev limit makes things very interesting indeed. well worth the money imo

[e30-EVN]

by the way if this is m52 you are enquiring about the ecu has to be mapped. m50's have the interchangable eproms

[rich318i]

yeah mate its a m52 thought the chips could of been swapped. plus got the M50 manifold and all that jazz

[e30-EVN]

so have i. just pm him. trust me

[rich318i]

what set up you got diff, gearbox and fly wise ?

[e30-EVN]

m42 box, z3 shifter, lightened m20 flywheel + sachs clutch, 3.64 lsd

[rich318i]

3.25 lsd with e36 box. just to used to it now and want more lol

think with your its like a 2.93 diff on a e36 box

what you pulling on that setup?

[e30-EVN]

will hit 70 in 2nd, she does 120 in 4th.! havent topended it yet but on my way back from seing danthe last week i pushed a new focus st with trade plates up to 145 on the m5 and had to back off or id have hit him
i was 3 up and he was alone so i was happily impressed with that performance
the way she felt at 145 she would easily piss the clock

[rich318i]

60 in 2nd for me but fook doing over 130 in a E30 lol 0-60 is about 5-6 sec and im on 15" bbs

[e30-EVN]

umm yeah, 145 felt quick enough . i was more than happy to give him a flash flash of the headlights and back out knowing he knew he was beaten hollow

[rich318i]

you had it on a dyno?

[e30-EVN]

Not yet but with the free flow I'm confident of 230... The st is 240 and she dealt with him hard.!

[rich318i]

thats sweet think i need the remap now lol

[rich318i]

what induction kit you using ? and what way you getting cold air into it? another thing i need to sort out

[e30-EVN]

I'm sure paul cooks M52 made 230 without the remap and not freeflow exhaust.....

[rich318i]

i got the e36 exhaust on mine minus cats

[e30-EVN]

I've got a 2.5' freeflow minus the cats

[rich318i]

if mines pulling over 200bhp i be shocked

[rich318i]

as i said before think im just to used to it now after having the m40 1.8

[e30-EVN]

It should easily be pulling over 200 mate inked its a donkey

[rich318i]

i think i just need more air into it 40-70 is quick say about 3 secs in 3rd. just know something is missing like a remap with the m50 manifold

[rich318i]

did a ford ST today myself on a A road i was off, had to slow down to let him keep up. LOVED IT
