Anyone interested in a 93-octane MarkD chip? (+91oct M42)

[Mystikal]

Just curious if anyone else wants in. I'm not sure how many states have 93, but up here we do and although I'm having great success with my 91-octane 3rd-gen MarkD chip (old thread), I know there is more power to be had from a boost in timing and other variables that would be suitable for 93 octane.

This would be for the 173 ECU, late-model 325i/is.

If you want more feedback on his work, here's a whole list of comments people have made. He's really a genious when it comes to the stuff.

So let me know if you'd be interested. I could probably talk him down to $200USD shipped to the lower 48 and of course Canada. This is much cheaper than a new JimC/TMS and would, without a doubt, blow away the performance of one of those.

Edit: changed the project to 93-octane (from 94) for the crappy American gas companies. 2nd edit: M42 thread takeover.

Raise your hand if your state carries 94.

:doesn't raise hand:

93 would be a better idea. At least you can find 93 octane in most of the states on the East coast.

[Mystikal]

Nah, I want 94. Just wanted to see if anyone else does. I'm not going to compromise my performance (even 1 octane point) for you people. :P

Seriously though, I know some states carry it.

where?

[Mystikal]

I just read something about PA having it. Strange, I thought it was more widespread.

Fair enough, I'll edit the thread title.

Now I may be interested in an M42 chip if he gets around to 'em. :)

[mph]

where?

The Ohio Sunoco's have it. I ALWAYS buy my gas from Sunoco. The one Sunoco a little further away from me has 110 octane gasoline. Its damn near $4.50 a gallon. Have yet to try it on my e30, but my dad's put it in his Triumph and it seemed a whole lot faster, but mid-tank, it ran like shit. Had to use fuel injector cleaner.

He has them, but those are 91-octane and I don't see him making a new one for M42's.

[Jand3rson]

How well would they work with 92 octane? That's the highest we have.

[Mystikal]

I'd say just get the same one I have in my car at the moment for you. Created for 91, one hell of a difference from stock. I'm just greedy.

Will he still be carrying the 91 chips once the 93's are produced? How much are the 91 chips?

[Mystikal]

Yeah, for sure. They're listed for $199USD right now.

It's too bad you guys live so far, I'd actually lend you the spare 2nd-gen one I have now just so you could feel the difference.

[parkerbink]

Is the 1730576-001-078 # the 173 you guys are talking about? does that mean I can use these chips?

[Mystikal]

The 173 should be at the end of the code from what I've seen. If it's a '90 cabrio though it should be 173. If you have the time go in there and take a pic of the label.

[parkerbink]

All the labels/numbers are : the one I listed,: 1730576-001-078 on a white rectangular label, WBABB2312L EC22971 CASE silver with BMW logo, BOSCH 0261 200 380 Made in Germany on a larger rectangilar lable.

That yellow one was hard to read, the words are silver and only showed up when I pointed the flashlight just right.

Thanks
