Well I'm concerned with seeing whether there are any actual gains on a 2.8 liter block.
From what I have seen the smaller displacement *read* 2.5 and 2.8 liter motors don't make too much power. IF this makes some decent power, I'm definitely going to consider getting the injectors, maf and tune.
The only dyno's that I've come across were for S50 and S52 motors which make healthy gains with this sort of upgrade. With my current setup I'm making 205whp and 182lbs ft of torXXxzzz...if this motor makes anything above that I'll be happy :D I'm not looking for a magical 20 hp gain either...I just want a little bit more. I'm already at the peak of N/A power unless I go with ITB's and standalone.

Probably not too much different than Turner chips or TRM. You can't magically make a ton more power on a motor that's been tuned by so many people, so many times.
That being said, Dan is a great tuner, so I'm sure there will be nice numbers with clean AFRs!Leave a comment:

People shouldn't be so afraid. You can't mess the tune up to the point your stranded, and unless you literally have you head up your ass, you won't blow it up. People tune carbs all day long, using a computer on these cars is essentially the same thing, just with keys and clicks instead.
If you understand an engine, and the tools are put in front of you to tune, 95% of people would be surprised how easy it can be.Leave a comment:

I'd rather wait to have Dan tune a cammed car first and download the tune, then try to do it myself, but that's just me....Noobs trying to tune their own cars is just a problem waiting to happen...

In all honesty, our base s52 tune will be pretty darn close to start with. If you feel like getting your feet wet, massaging the tune for your cams and injectors would be pretty easy. We can also help you over email if you need it.Leave a comment:

i will definitely be picking up a war chip to replace the TMS chip on my modded S50. Hopefully someone will have a good starter tune for shricks, 3.5afm, 24# injectors, and headers.Leave a comment:

OBDII Manifold and 3.5" MAF and stock injectors finished. OBDI Manifold with 3.5" MAF and stock injectors on the dyno now.

I am interested in seeing the results but will there be an option for ecu's that need EWS delete?Leave a comment:

A local guy out here has the W.A.R chip in his m50/S52 cam E30 and he loves it. Made over 200whp before a few bolt on's with it.
Once my swap is up and running/suspension sorted I'm going to be going with this tuning system regardless of what route I take with the engine after that.Leave a comment:

It will be ready in a couple weeks. We don't need any beta testers, but thanks. We don't really need to "beta test" something as simple as this.Arguing about injectors aside, when can we expect this to be available? My swap is up and running now, minus exhaust till everything for it comes in. I have 21.5# injectors and the 540i MAF, so I'm looking for a chip. I don't mind trying something new. I will have access to a friend's dyno once my car is street legal if you send out a batch for beta testing. ;)Leave a comment:
