how much have you paid for the flash in your S54 DME for a swap?

[Yourmum]

Because they can.

Will you be abble to do the reflash if i bring my ECU at Guten Fest?

[sharky]

I have has 3 customers in the past week wanting E30 and E36 S54's and although I like B..m.r....ld their cost of 3200 is a bit much for people to swallow. If you are offering for sub 2K I am sure people will be alot more willing to do this.

^ what did they do to yours specifically?

EWS removal + post 02 cats simple. But, For those who want to run E85 or Alpha N or custom tune w.e they've got so many other options so hit them up.

Anyone looking for a s54 flash?
Hit up e30polak @ Castro Motorsport. These guys just finished mine and I couldn't be happier

Out of curiosity, if one gets the swap kit from you, Mark, and down the line decides to use another tune from Epic/Evolve/erc, is that possible? Or would subsequent tunes from a different company invalidate the swap codings?

I'm sorry if I missed it, but did you send your DME to Oliver?

No, Tino Trümer

I paid about $35 to ship it USPS Express. He didn't charge for return shipping. Nice bloke. :)

You are lucky you live in the USA, since the postal rates there are a fraction of what they are in Canada.

[Andrew325is]

I assume that is not including the shipping.

1,100.00 EUR = 1,445.06 USD

1 EUR = 1.31369 USD 1 USD = 0.761216 EUR


So around $1445 USD today plus around $200 for round trip shipping would be about right? I was hoping those European guys charged more than that! ;)

Sorry to bump this thread a week later. However, I hope people recognize the value in calling up Mark D Chips and actually talking to Mark D. I hope this works out for you Mark!

Thanks Pete! I don't mind if you bumped it after a week, that helps people see it :D

[PeteD]

If any one deals with me, they can email or call to talk to me directly. Even if you end up sending the DME to lets say, Guten Parts, you can still talk to me. Or you can fill in a form an list all the mods you want and codes to be removed, if you don't want to talk to me. I'll have a standard list of codes I will supress, and that can be tailored up or down as required.

I didn't have any idea you can find files with EWS deleted online. I should check to see if they are from me !

I haven't downloaded any but I know they are available. I'm sure they're cloned versions of somebody else's work, though.

I hate how people are using software that sells for around 2000 Euros or more with all the checksum modules, but they got a free version. Then I have to compete with these guys who have almost zero $ invested, That's why some of them sell files for $300. And the $30 cables are clones of what European companies developed, along with the hacked software that comes with it. But there is a very good chance you can toast an ECU when flashing it with those cables. And some of these guys are selling files that they didn't even create themselves.
I've spent time to make my files unreadable with the clone tools by changing the seed keys.

well, I was talking about freeware (for tuning just spark and fuel maps), not neccesarily the "hacked" stuff. I've looked into the hacked stuff - it's not going to do you any good with MSS54. If you're talking about WinOLS, the cracked version is completely useless. IDA Pro without developer support is like climbing Mount Everest in your underpants. You still need licensed software to do anything useful. The only other possible method is copying files that are already edited, as you say.

[MarkD]

I did not ask the guy for any further information beyond what was deleted. I was not dealing with the primary tuner. It was also not opened up to jumper anything.
