Ebay chip. (not a question thread)

[Exodus_2pt0]

Just ordered this.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/24HP-chip-BMW-E30-325i-325is-325ic-325ix-ecu-380-173-/270931157758?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f14c162fe&vxp=mtr#ht_845wt_1270

I read some good things about this guy so I decided what the hell, its $30 shipped. He claims that 17-19lb injectors are required, so I'm heading off to Crazy Rays to grab some M50 injectors tomorrow.

I will try to arrange some Dyno time. I'll run a baseline pull, then install the chip and injectors for a 2nd pull.

My plan is to put this baby to rest, and give some real results. Same day dyno runs too to eliminate variables.

Also, before someone says "24 horsepower haha". I just want to point out that I really don't care about how much horsepower is claimed, if I get 5 horsepower at the wheels, that's fine by me. I'm not doing this in an attempt to make my M20 a race engine, i'm doing it because it's cheap. :)

Can't do just one pull then install that stuff the next pull. Do 3 stock pulls THEN do 3 pulls with the new setup.

I'm interested to see this!

Yea it will be more than 1 pull each as we'll have the dyno for an hour. One of the local shops has offered us some inter-shop cooperation where they will train us on their dyno and let us use it for a great discount price. So I'm combining a learning opportunity with some research for the forum. :D

Sub'd for info. Aren't the injectors gonna cost you a lot more than $30 though?

Yea that's a good point. I'll post up with what I spend on them at the yard. It shouldn't be much though.

Excellent.

I have only heard bad things about this chip but nothing official.

I was looking at the rennsport technik chip, the one sold from quito ecuador.

Do it! you should order the injector service kit cause when pulling out the M50 injectors at the junkie yard, your gonna break a few pintle caps...so be prepared!

here ya go.

Interested as well. I have some nice m50 injectors.

But 93 octane here is not available

[Stoner Sam23]

In for results!

[Vivek]

I'm also interested in the final price and what gains you get. Also, note what else has been done to your engine, maintenance, how many miles, how long you've owned it, do you know the history...

[Balleristic31]

Interested in this as well. When I put my m20 car together I wouldn't mind a bit of extra pep.
