S50 Is dead thanks to TRM.

OP.. same question I had after reading a bit more. Seems crazy dude.. again, best of luck.

completely off topic, but are you checking your emails bro? i emailed you twice already with no answer.

[rneedham1979]

Hilarious, just hilarious... all I have seen so far unsupported claims and bad mouthing of a tuner with NO evidence. You're so busy to get factual information to support your claims but you have time to return an injector? You have time to sit on here all night and bad mouth a tuner yet, no time to take pictures? Interesting... makes a lot of sense....

Its funny, each and every post further explains you were doing exactly the opposite of what you should have, the last one kills me, driving 65 at low rpm, um that is not how you break in an engine and you sure as hell do not go out for a hwy drive with a brand new engine that was throwing codes and as you mention did not run right with the chip. You should have troubleshot it, in the driveway where you could have monitored all of the sensors and parameters and addressed all the issues prior to.

You messed up your engine, not TRM. Even if they sent you a bogus, fucked up chip (which I doubt) the fact you drove the car knowing there were issues puts 100% of the failure on you.

whats ecu # do you have?

I will pay someone to run this TRM chip in there car, to prove the tune is fine. I would offer to run it but it definitly won't work in my car. If anyone is interested, PM me.

[rneedham1979]

Found a guy to possibly run it... will you agree to ship it to him?

I cannot run it because i have a .140 headgasket, schrick cams, 42lb injectors, porsche maf and T-trim supercharger on my S50 set up, that is the only reason, so don't kid yourself!

[rneedham1979]

Oh yeah, you never answered the question about your ecu box #. We need this info to ensure we install it in the correct box.

you also never mentioned the box #s of the other two vehicle you installed the bad chip in. Do you care to answer this now?

If I where truley making baseless and random accusations I gurantee the moderator would have killed this post long ago.

Not necessarely. Moderators know what is good entertainment. There are nuggets in this thread.

He is local and known on bimmerforums and he ran my chip and guess what it ran like shit.

Another pretty bad attempt at demonstrating the chip is flawed. A duck doesn't have 4 legs. I don't have 4 legs. Therefore I am duck...
What I am trying to explain, is that if the chip was not installed with the proper hardware on your car (DME, injectors, whatever) and it is not installed either with the proper harware on the other car, it is not a sufficent reason to conclude the chip is flawed.

Basically, you need to know what are the requirements to use that chip. Did your install 100% met the requirements?

Let me know Ryan, Ill run that fucker too. Ive got a 413 S50 car around.

I beleive that the moderators beleive in the free exchange of ideas and information and are aware that it is great when people ask me to close a thread that is my ideas observations and experiences when they are said to be false because someone thousands of miles away with a similar car and unknown experiences knows my situation better than I do.

Nobody is asking you to close your thread. They are asking you to just stick to the facts and be reasonable. You have done neither. You're like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum. My initial impression from reading your posts, since I don't know much about this topic, was that TRM messed up. But more importantly, I noticed how much of an ass you were being in your posts. Accidents are one thing, being a dick is another.

[rneedham1979]

So yet again, you continue to make accusations but you refuse to back them up, I have offered to give 100 bucks to a dude to run your faulty chip, in his car.

Now your saying this is shady? I do not get it, you have a bad TRM chip right? Why would you care? The only thing that seems shady is this story, I have offered a chance for you to prove what you have stated, I recommended you take pictures, which you still have yet to do, I asked you to video the bad chip in action, you do not have time, now I am even throwing 100 bucks of my cash to a dude i don't know just to figure this mess out, yet you say it's shady?

Your story sure has a lot of holes.....

I hope you realize your little ploy/gave here is hurting someones business and should not be tolerated on a public forum. You have been given a ridiculous amount of suggestion to prove what you are saying, you have not accepted or acted on one thing.

Back your story up, lets prove TRM sent you a bad chip, it would probably even help you get your money back, so why not do it?

I am sorry that I came off like an ass. I assure you that I am a very nice person. I just don't take kindly to being called a liar. I value the input and bouncing of ideas that this forum provides and I do appreciate that many of you have friendships or associations with each other and TRM and that is great. You are correct that when I started this thread I was a little steemed but I am feeling much better now. I now participate in this thread for gathering info for my next lower end build and no other purpose. I also do prefer to defend myself as well when I am called a liar or a bad mechanic neither of which is true.

Which e-mail are you sending to? If it's my blackberry one, it's no longer active and has a new account setup.

dude, you need to chill out and figure out what actually broke. Maybe you'll need another engine. Maybe you'll need to rebuild, maybe chip only added to some other issues that you have mickey-moused on your own. Figure everything out first, THEN start mud slinging.

[gazellebeigem3]

Creates this whole thread to showcase his ability misdiagnose and probably flog an incorrectly built motor, then blames it on a respected tuner.

followed up by this gem:

Do we know each other? The reason I ask is I am not sure I am supposed to care what you think.

How close did they do nuclear testing to where you grew up? I fear that you may resemble the hillybilly monsters from the hills have eyes.

I had placed an order for +.5mm weisco pistons in 11:1 and waited for the 5 week build time just to get a call that they were never ordered, so I bought the maxsil pistons cause they were "off the shelf" All maxsils are in a +1mm or 0.040" so you'd have to overbore which will take an s50 to 87mm.

If you want higher compression id get a JE or weisco since they can be had for about the same price as the maxsil. At least you get rings with them which eliminates the costly factory s50 ring replacement.

Perhaps I'm reading your post wrong but... don't the MaxSil come with rings? How are they holding up for you?

It was a bit unclear but the Maxsil pistons do come with rings and pins. I am pleased with these pistons. I was hoping for a bit more power on paper, but paper and real world are two different things and for a stock rebuild with bolt-ons its plenty fast.

The more you post the more you look like a fucking retard. I felt sorry for you in the beginning but now I LOL at the way you trouble shot you car and broke it in.

[rneedham1979]

LOL you are to much, you are just proving your story is over embellished. You have so much to say about the tune being messed up yet you won't let someone else test it? How does that makes sense?

You worried over the cost of a 300 chip, that you KNOW is bad and that you cannot use? If you KNOW it is bad then what is the problem? What is the worst that can happen, well besides us all finding out the chip is fine....

Dude, do you really think someone would steal your 300 chip? Common, we are offering to help you by conducting an independent test. If the chip is bad this will undoubtedly help you get your money back. Maybe TRM will chime in on this.

In addition, I do not think anyone is so hard up for a "bad TRM tune" that they would actually steal your chip, especially since all the parties are mentioned on this forum. Its 300 bucks for god sakes.

Here is your chance to prove what you say is true. I am even offering to contribute 100 bucks to help you sort this mess out.

What is the problem? What are you scared of?




it.

Do we know each other? The reason I ask is I am not sure I am supposed to care what you think. I know for myself that the chip is bad as I tested it in diff cars. If I chose to send it to you what assurance do I have that you are an honest and reputable person. Why would I take any more risks at this point. I don't care what you beleive or don't beleive. I will not ship my chip to someone I don't know who in there right mind would do that.
