    Chip Results with e30 Vert

    I am devastated to announce that I finally sold my sedan and so I just have my vert, for a while anyway.

    I was curious what results people had with chipping the e30 vert. I had a chip in my 325e and that made a huge difference. I heard it didn't do much for the 325i so I never ended up chipping the sedan.

    Anyway, let me know what you guys think - I'm also open to other upgrades if there are suggestions.

    It does makes different on the vert, and depend on what you do on top of the vert you can get some nice gain. I have a SSSquid chip for M30 AFM with 19lb injectors and adjustable FPR. Gain is definitely noticeable.
    Current:
    '88 325ic Silver 5sp
    '17 Subaru Outback 3.6R

    Past:
    '14 Rav4 EV (with tons of torque!)
    '06 325i Black 5sp
    '02 S4 Avant Black 6sp
    '00 Boxster Silver 5sp
    '98 New Bettle Yellow 5sp

      Since your question would apply to any E30 with an M20b25, you may get better answers in the engine section.

        I had a Turner chip when I had my m20. Definitely made a difference but I did have to run 93 instead of 87. Depends on your priorities and if the small gain vs. gas price is worth it

          Yeah - I might just have to buy an ix replacement for my sedan haha. For having the same engine, my sedan seemed to pull a lot harder in the lower gears. I did put a K&N filter, newer (slightly larger) injectors and a new cat and scorpion exhaust but I imagine these would yield almost unnoticeable differences.

          Is that the case because of the extra weight in the vert? Maybe the vert is just quieter and my mind is playing tricks on me.

            I can run 87 gas in my vert? Is there an emoticon for "you mean I've been wasting money on premium gas for 10 years?'
