Like others have said, chipped etas pull significantly better past 2500 rpm. My Dinan chip required 91 premium fuell but the gas milage was still great (not that I dailied it with the stock chip) I'm positive that a proper LSD really wake it up (2.79 ftl)

P.S. I'd rather rebuild my eta motor than scavenge parts to complete my i motor swap X(

So whats say we get you chipped up :D

I have a Mark D chip and a 3.46 rear end. Runs great,,,way stronger than stock. The eta was way de-tuned so a good chip makes much more of a difference than on most engines. When I was researching chips it seemed most said the Mark D chip was a better through the RPM range option and the Dinan was more of a top end chip. CM

That does look good, I think I'm going to go this route... plus I can get a eta hella cheap lol

I have a fully rebuilt stock m20b27 with about 18k on the rebuild. Turner chip, 2.93lsd, rebuilt injectors, properly running or replaced everything. Its a fun daily car. I miss the b25 when I want to mess about, but thats quickly replaced with the low RPMs and stop and go traffic torque.

I am glad I rebuilt the 2.7 simply put. Plus it looks nice. lol

Chip with a 3.25 diff is totally PERFECT. Trust me.

MarkD chip or gtfo.

That's usually the trade-off.

I don't drink or smoke, but I do put premium in my cars. I figure it's about $4 extra per tank. Worth it to me.

[moe30]

When chipped do you have to run premium? That's the first I've heard of that?

I used to own an 87 325es 5 sp , loved the car , not so fast but still fast enough and great MPG, I used to get 33 34 mpg on the freeway,
I opted for a DINAN chip for the car, the car was the same all the way up to 2000 2500 RPM but after that it would get a kick and would accelerate faster than the stock chip. feul eco wasn't changed that much but the only bad part was , I had to buy 92 oct gas( that time they had 92 instead of 91)
but other than the premium gas , the chip was awesome, so was the car till it got totaled.
it also passed cal, smog test with the chip installed.

Man I hope the straights are short!
That would be a perfect combo with a 6 speed.

We'll be gear-limited to about 105... which is just about what we'll hit on the straight at Sears Point.

[E30Gus]

We're putting a chip in our LeMons eta... along with a welded 3.73 diff. Looking forward to it.

I will +1 what everyone is saying.

I have a Dinan chip and 3.25. Lotsa fun.

Hell, you can buy the ECU from me if you're interested and let us know what YOU think within a week.

(Nothing wrong with mine, but I'm moving on to M30 powa!!!!)

Everyone who's had a chipped ETA has said there is a undoubtedly difference.
It's the 2.5 guys who are on the fence about chips usually.
