ECU Remapping

[leforte]

hmm..i tot the website said the HQ is in Sri Lanka?? but the programming is done in Europe? weird. anyways, a dyno before and after would show best. on the same car, same dyno

seems like they are just another 3rd party dealer who buys ready made programs from the other tuners in europe. they only have the equipment to do the download and upload of pre-tuned software, and not the equipment nor the knowledge to do the actual tuning work itself.

for a peace of mind i rather stick with ESS, HIOP, DINAN, Ac-schnitzer, RDsports or Alpina, at least they are a specialist BMW tuner and not a jack of all trades. Calvin tan fr euracarmotorsport can easily provide the HIOP tuning needed for any bmws locally including the newer models

dat's wat i think 2..nevertheless since i've already booked for a session then may s well just go for it. once for all. indeed i'm a bit skeptic at 1st. zakie method of so called tuning is very basic n sort of dated.he juz run wire wic connect the AFR to the exhaust n have it wired to a reader. dat's it :listen: no laptap or watsoever. but wat suprised me is the end result. my guess the 3rd party have the right formula for my car..i think wit a little bit of tuning..my car would b at its optimum..

btw can anybody enlighten me..it is possible to run piggyback wit my chipped ecu??wouldn't the piggyback mess with the current chipped ecu??i want to fine tune my car to its peak performance

gurus..sifus..anybody???

Hi Mate, For your info we're not just another generic map supplier. We work very closely with our principals for the tunes we flash/chip. In the minimum we monitor the AFR in almost every driving condition before we decide if the map is right for the car. In motoman's case noway a readymade map as you call it gonna work considering the mods he's done like a stroker, TB etc. The AFR on motomans car had perfect figures in the city / light cruising / idling etc. and showed mid 12's on WOT all the way upto 7000 RPM, considering the time of day it was done I felt the tune was safe without risking his motor for a shorter lifespan. We provide tunes even for the most wildest setup you may have.

I hope motoman would tell us where he got his car so called chipped earlier with a stock program, if the moderators allow me I could always upload the old file here for some of you experts to look at. No worries mate I will have another look at it if you want to but please do a dyno with both maps on the same day and same machine just to see the numbers.

As our moto goes "Street Friendly, Race Ready" our tunes are made for power with city driverbilty and engine life in mind.

Regards,

Zakie

Sorry i do not assumed. my guess is you are very new to the car tuning circle and do not know how they work.

its pure fact that they are a middle man that just does the running while the principle (as zakie dictates in his post) does the tuning. so i am not wrong in saying they do not have the equipment nor the knowledge to do the actual tuning work itself. fyi there is nothing wrong with that, as there is only a handful of BMW tuner/programmers around in the world.

 

[ramsing]

that's true. the tuners are a few. but there's nothing wrong with being a middleman. as long as the customer is happy, all's well, end's well.

motoman....it'll be nice if you could post a before and after dyno sheet, on the same dyno.

:stupid: You have not met this guy nor have you spoken to him to judge if he has the knowledge in tuning or not...come meet him in person bro...then comment...cheers

yes bro i agree wif u..although he's method is very basic..when i met n spoken wit him..i can see he's very well versed in his trade.professional indeed in his carrying out of things.:top:

all in all lets b fair to zakie..s long s long i'm happy wit the result..i won't point fingers to anybody claiming his work is no good blah..blah..blah

i would try to get the dyno run by the end of the year before n after chipping..cheers

 

[fabianyee]

No price tag???? Got map for E36 318is??? (M42B18)

 

[tchdaniel]

i would like to tag along too,if results are good then i would get it done on my car.i need some extra oomph when slow down behind cars or getting out from junction at 3rd or 2nd gear.

I glad that you're satisfied with the job, the E36 have been around for almost 2 decades now and the amount of RnD that has gone into a car of you're vintage is enormous as a result a experienced tuner wouldn't take too long to get it right. The ECU having almost min security doesn't really call for too much high tech tools. What really matters in a daily driver like yours is the feel, and the driverbility of the car, a before and after dyno nos. will be pretty useful to me as well.

No price tag???? Got map for E36 318is??? (M42B18)

Your E36 318is is not a problem at all, kindly fill up the attached form and email or PM it to me for price quote.

i would like to tag along too,if results are good then i would get it done on my car.i need some extra oomph when slow down behind cars or getting out from junction at 3rd or 2nd gear.

Same applies to you as well.

Hi friends, my name is Rupesh, Im a sri lankan working in Dubai. I have 2 race cars at the moment .. a civic hatchback for AutoX and a Integra Type R for the circuit http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2675587

just wanted to let you guys know that Zakie has been a master tuner in Srilanka for many years. He also has dominated the Indian market where a civic he built and tuned won the Drags beating even AWD Cars. He has also tuned more than 20 hondas here in Dubai and the feedback is very positive. So its not like he doesnt have a tuning background or knowledge

i won last years Drag Challenge in my street car which is a 1800cc Civic hatchback (B18C SiR2 engine) beating a race prepared Civic 1600 and also beating the quickest N/A S2000 around here. I lost to a 2160cc stroked civic which is obviously much quicker due to its high displacement.

You guys may not know me, but i just want to let you guys know that i dont trust anyone with tuning my car other than Zakie @ tunedichip.com

haha seems like you are comparing apples with oranges.

good to hear that he can tune your civic, no doubt about it, there is so many software and equipment out there that one can purchased and do every damn thing with the engine parameters, if you can make it work successfully with your own set of parameters, yes, you make yourself a tuner.

so having say that, there is plenty of tuners around too, that can do the same, haha.. we can cast a net and have a good feast for the week. aiyo, i got 13 names stored in my phone from my honda days. what do you need? N/A tuning, turbo tuning? stock ecu chipping, piggyback or standalone????? they can do all the jap cars too fr toyota, subarus, nissans, honda....

what zakie can do to motoman;s car doesnt make him a tuner yet. a forumer here can do the same too. the point is, the tune is not his, its the work of the principle, so zakie is just another person down the line that does the work. tuner, err, reseller is a better word.

Sorry mate, didn't mean to ignore you as I've not had much connectivity in the past 36hrs cos been on flights, transit halls etc. Got home this morning after being away for a month, let me know if your still up for a quote as I hope to be back mid Jan to finalize my transfer to MY.

 

[tchdaniel]

Okie,no pro,PM for TT when u r back

 

[Zakie@TIC]

Hi guys, My apologies for not being active in this forum as Im back for sometime now, for some of you who think we're just a 3rd party map supplier, they're wrong. Well...I dont blame them too much cos there aint many such tuning companies in this part of the world. We have the expertise and the tools to custom tune many European marques and BMW is no exception.

Hi guys, Here's s'ting interesting for owners of the older models upto like E46 and E39 range, BMW ECU's upto 2003 had either a EPROM or a EEPROM. The E36/34 for sure came with the most commonly used EPROM of the past, the 32K, 27C256. One of these blank chips may just cost about rm10 at most and its not very difficult to find a programing device to read/write these chips. We must be very thankful to BMW to putting this chip on a removable IC socket, so no need of any expert soldering guys to yank the chip out. Then post 1996 models life isn't that easy as they came with a EEPROM 28F200 which is a 44pin surface mount PSOP which requires some soldering skill to remove and install and also a special programming adapter / tool to read and write to these.

FYI most ECU's are unique unless they're off the same batch, each ECU is marked with a hardware and a software number, if you try installing a chip off one ECU into another with different HW or SW numbers in a worst case the car may not even start.

That is why its always important to work of your car's original map if your planning to use the same ECU.

Let me know how many of you would like to do this themselves, as I will continue time permitting. I must say my tuned maps are not going to be free but for sure a lot cheaper thou,

Zakie
