11hp is it worth the money? Although I guess it's
fairly hassle free compared with other engine mods. Would the gains be that noticeable? |

ROFL Well that's not going to win any awards from the Plain English society
If it's answering a query of can my car be chipped, I think it means : Yes. Only so much can be done tho. Gains of up to 11bhp can be attained. Your current EPROM has its program overwritten. This is done be removing the car's ECU and guddling with it using an emulator. Any clearer? |

ChippedUk said this (no idea what it means):
We can do this ecu but you are tied with what can be altered. We can get around 11hp on this ecu with direct flash of the main eeprom by removing the ecu and mapping it direct with an emulator. |

Might be an "018" ECU (Motronic 1.3) you've got, then.

....by Dinan. Mainly because the US-spec cars were down on power compared to the Euro ones, so all they were doing was playing catch-up in most cases. If it's replaceable chips you're looking at, then Superchips, BBR or Jayson (ChippedUK) are usually the way to go, but really only post-1985/6 cars can be dealt with. "Highlines" are better suited to this treatment. Jayson reckons he can re-programme or remap some of the earlier cars (Motronic 2.1 ECUs, normally coded "011" by Bosch), but the chip itself cannot be taken out and replaced by another because Bosch hard-wired these early ones in. Re-mapping has had some UK coverage already, mainly from owners of M635CSis (all years) who have discovered themselves to be down on power over the years..... Also, the "Highline" edition of the M635CSi sometimes didn't leave the factory with the full 286hp.... Edited by Horsetan |

You'll need to bide your time for an answer from within the 6 forum. Altho Chip Tuning has been covered extensively elsewhere, I'm not sure that many 6 owners on here have taken the plunge. A couple of the 6s featured in this months TBMW have been chipped so that might be a starting point..?

Anybody with any info or experience with Chip tuning on a Six? No idea
what the gains could be. Been quoted 300 for a rolling road chip tune. Wondered if it was worth the money? |
