TRM MS41 (OBD2) software is now available!

[matt]

s52 cams are going in my 328 today, so I'll be interested in getting my dme flashed when upgrades become available.

I should have that tune available as soon as I find some S52 cams for my car. :)

[matt]

They aren't advertising it anywhere else yet. Trying to build up a nice book of tunes to get started first. I just wanted to get EWS deletes and such out here on r3v ASAP because we get people asking about it all the time.

this is very interesting because when I spoke to trm about deleting the ews They told me that it was too difficult to delete and they would reccomend staying obd1...

They convinced me that obd2 was near impossible to run due to the ews delete and then there are these threads about cutting a green wire to delete it... then trm chimes in and says oh no its much more complex than that.

Then another bmw f.i. company tells me to go obd2 because obd1 is ancient and that they can delete the ews no problem...

What gives???

What gives? Things change. Two months ago, OBD1 was the best option for an E30. It might still be, it makes a lot of things easier. But, now they can do some cool custom stuff with the OBD2 ECUs. As they get a chance to tune cars in person on a dyno, they'll start doing more performance stuff.

As for EWS, there is more incorrect information out there than correct. Gaining a complete understanding of how it works and how to work with it is hard, most people don't bother.

this is great news Matt! i'm sure the e36 guys are just as exited. We might talk about this in the near future when i put my engine back together. Congrats!

It will need a flash and the removal/bypassing of the EWS starter lockout.

I can help with both.

Thanks, I'll tell him he should get in touch with you.

dude, really.....! what is the purpose of you posting this? companies like trm provide a valuable service to our ancient cars. we have so few choices for this sort of thing. obviously, this service wasn't available two years ago when you needed it. now it is. there are now perhaps 50 of us on this forum running obd2. seems our numbers increase every month. i have nothing against you turbo325i and i have no vested interest in trm. i have never spent any money with them but i do intend to in the near future. if enough of you bone heads go spouting off like this, they will probably start tuning hondas or something and all of us will be out of luck. stop ripping on the man. we need him and his company. they probably will be the last ones making this stuff after all the rest of them give up on it because the cars are so old. :hitler:

I called them about a month ago. I don't know where u get 2 years from. I wasn't posting trying to spout off. I still might go with trm for my tune, and I am glad they are starting to offer obd2 tunes. All I was saying is that I was swayed in my decision of obd1 vs. Obd2 based solely on the fact that trm only offered obd1 at that time...

I'm saying that they made obd2 seem far inferior for power, reliability ect ect.

I will post more when I can get on my comp.

Not yet.

can u do ews delete on an MSS54?

hey matt, my cousin has an e36 with an s52 swap. He lost his key, so had the dealer replace it with one that matched for his car vin - not the motor/dme vin. Now his car wont start, he turns the key and accessories turn on, but no crank. Assuming it's the ews, will an ews delete flash alone cure the issue... or does it take the physical removal of the modules too?

How long ago was this? Cause it seems like they are just getting into it especially since they dont advertise on their site.

s52 cams are going in my 328 today, so I'll be interested in getting my dme flashed when upgrades become available.

EWS delete will be $100 + shipping.

[matt]

Performance tunes will be about the same price as OBD1 performance tunes. $200 and up.

I will do better pricing on EWS deletes, rev limiter changes, and things of that nature since it's a little easier.

Ballpark figure on tuning prices? What would be say a stock obd2 performance tune, and then something with s52cams/m50 manifold, and the like. You can reply in PM if you'd prefer. Thanks.
