evolve chip not again goto ant

[hongkongfuey]

, this is an ok mod for a 325 , speedtouch does the same for cheaper, but if you want to wake up your e30 get one from ant

I'm a fan of the evolve chip too, but can't forget Ant does them also and I had good results from that too.

what are these chips like to fit, i fitted one myself before but the car just ran lumpy with loads of flats spots, i was told it was because i bought it off ebay can i fit these evolve chips myself?

[blitz877]

yes you can mate

[alex-e30]

did my last one mess up because i got it off ebay?

[Speedtouch]

Did you let it idle for 10 mins on fitting it to learn the base idle settings, prior to switching off then going for a drive?

[blitz877]

probably not

no mate, i just pluged in a played

[Speedtouch]

That probably explains it then. You need to 'bed in' the chip properly for it to work at its best, rather like a set of new brake pads.

the evolve ones come with colour instructions i think if not ask sal i am sure he has some he will help you out

[scaraveos]

guys, what happens when you disconnect the dme from the battery? i have a electrical switch on my car and turn it off every time i park the car. does it affect anything? i don't have a chip(yet).

[hongkongfuey]

i wouldn't buy one from evolve again, if you want a chip go to ant

[JWaller360]

does Ant do chips for the iS?

[Steve-E30]

I didnt think ant did i.s. chips but maybe wrong
Know quite a few people who have evolve chips and if theres a problem i bet they would sort it .
Did you bed the chip in as mentined and what was so bad about it ?
You havent exactly explained what the problem is either

[hongkongfuey]

bad fueling and timing over advanced, tick over on cold start was 1100????????

had a 'super chips' chip in an ecu i picked up put that in ran like a dream, but know will only goto ant

[Cotty]

I have an Ant chip and very happy with it

[Steve-E30]

Ants chips are good but was unaware he did them for the i.s.
Hkf did you buy the chip direct or off someone else ?
Only reason i ask is the last few people i know that have bought them im sure they asked for ecu number ?
If you bought direct and your not happy ask for a refund ... simples

What difference does it make to the b25

[hongkongfuey]

this thread started jan 2008, it was direct, gone now, got one coming from ant dyno pics to follow

[Steve-E30]

Just noticed that now you mention it after the random bump .

M3 or other E30?

M3 doesn't matter

Does it matter on any other E30?

[Speedtouch]

It doesn't "matter" as such - no harm will become of it, but you should in theory always allow the engine to idle for at least 10 minutes before switching off then driving as normal, otherwise there is the possibility of the idle running rough due to the base idle map being disturbed.
