Hey Gavin,
Do you know if the OP has had his car dynoed yet and what type of results it came back with? If so are you able to post the run?
Cheers,
Trent

I don't Trent. I spoke to him the other night but he never mentioned it. I might recommend he waits until the weather cools down, probably won't pull the skin off a rice pudding at 44 Degrees, if my Ibiza is anything to go by. ;)
I'll ask him now.
Gavin
Hey guys, haven't had the chance to get it into the rollers yet, and won't be doing it for some time - ie. until the weather cools down! When we get down to around 25-30 during the day, I'll see what I can do ;)
Thanks guys. Let me/us know how it goes. Hopefully I will be going down one of the chip paths before the end of the financial year. :)
Cheers,
Trent
:driver:i want more out of my chip....is there a different process or just a mapping tune
Thanks JVL
Ben had a Phase 1 Custom-Code map loaded to his ECU.

If that doesn't answer your question, please ask again.

Still interested to know how they can get nearly an extra 32kW in the Phase 2 package as that's an incredible gain in power for an NA engine. Does it require race fuel or something?
Also how much tuning is able to be done to get the most benefit out of things such as CAIs, cams, exhausts and exhaust headers?
Cheers,
Trent
I'll be honest Trent, I don't know what mods that gain is based on. I would imagine that you have to have all the hardware you have mentioned and it would be running on 98 RON.
In theory a well tuned up modern engine, shouldn't have that much difficulty making 100hp a litre. E36 M3s are nearly there standard, I know they rev a bit harder but I don't think it's inconceivable.
Gavin
Have mailed C-C about this.
After all the figures and formulae I posted up it dissapoints me that you as a tuner still dont understand about correction factors and dynos . A car should be able to be dynoed at any time , any temperature at any altitude and still have readings within 1% of each other . That is what correction factors are for .
You'll need race fuel and a re-tune
You cant compare an M3 engine to the VR6 engine
R32 head does not flow
The piston speed on the R32 is greater than the M3
Bore × stroke
M3 91.0mm (3.58 in) 87.0mm (3.43 in)
R32 85.5 mm × 92.8 mm
Not to mention the head probably flows a lot more , M3 has better exhaust manifold and you paid some $50k more for the m3 !
very interesting thanks Gavin:driver:
