ECU re-map really that effective?

[-azfar-]

alright thanks mr x. so basically E34 couldn't do this ECU remapping? let's say if i made some modification in my car ie changing intake manifold, what should i do to the ECU in order to get the optimum results from these modifications. sorry still learning about these stuff. thanks

...do whatever mod you want first, do unichip last....but u can still also go for unichip first and see if its good enough for you...if good enough then you save money on the other mods, but knowing people in this forum it is never enough so you can still add on other mods and later go retune the unichip with the added mods.

... I beg to differ...all stock cars are tuned conservatively for the masses, they are tuned to pass certain emission laws and dunno what other laws in order for it to be sold there is still more to be unleashed from the ECU, at least another 10-20 horses and more importantly torque is improved.
You say 1.8K to 2K is expensive to gain 20hp...I think its very reasonable...try doing exhaust mod..may be already 1 to 2k , K&N another few hundred, Extractor and other what not...all this will be add up to more than 2K and you probably get only 5 to 10 horses...all by trial and error ....where else the remapping of the ECU is programming it to unleash the hidden horses by the manufacturer and even better, with certain tuners you can programme it to your driving preference. My 2 cents.

Seconded unichip works & value for money. Did on my Wajalution last time:thefinger:

alright thanks bro. if i undergo a heart transplant, is it better to do unichip after that? for more ong :rock: since M50B20 is quite underpowered and fuel consuming
