Re: Summary of Aftermarket ECUs / Controllers

Anyone else done obit II on the 318 valvetronic? How is is compared to Obit I?

Nope....ObitII not for 318 valvetronic yet......

Anyway new gadget for all bimmers with 'fly-by-wire' throttle available in mid-Jan!!!!!

U'll be amazed!!

So far we've tried it on E46(including 318 valvetronic), E39, E60 & E90!!!

And the 6 cars immediately wanted it....but too bad it's back installed into my car liao.....

:twisted:

Waiting to test on E85 7ers, 6ers, X5, X3 & Z4!!

Listen to the experts at BMW who designed your predominantly street driven car and trust the balance they have found for you.

Re: Summary of Aftermarket ECUs / Controllers

happy lunar new year and wish you a prosperous year ahead to all....thanks for the information..eric. ....very heavy stuff for me, who is finally wanting to get more vroom after all these years with beamers....this forum is a great influence - good or bad? no answer....this may be an old question and would appreciate it if anyone could direct me to the right place to find the answer.........this over a year old 318i -it's my third -comes with the m3 accessories except the gear box and pedals....a package from performance more than a year ago.

what i like to do having read your articles....to get more "vroom" from the
car. what are the things i should consider? i dun know much about cars.........thanx

Hi Faber

Happy Prosperous New Year!

From your description, a year plus old 318i.... its not easy to extract power from this 4 potter engine and given its additional valvetronic system. Having said that, tuners are still finding ways to re-map the stock ECU Targets for more power. This task is almost impossible(correct me if Im wrong) less the whole ECU is replaced by a Standalone ECU but then again the tuner must know the characteristic of the engine by the tip of the fingers else alot of troubleshooting and back to workshop time.

Theres so many things to look at when tuning, compression ratio, fuel pressure, duty cycle, air-fuel mixture, ignition timings, valvetronic system.....

So again the question is how much power you desire at of the day and whether you are looking for a one off power or reliable power.

Im not any tuner or expert in modding, just interested in knowing technicalities of a modern engine.

Cheers!
Eric

hi, is yours the 2.0L 16V E46 ME9?
If so, there is obd2 tuning available for you

there must be a reason why previous adopters of obit2 are selling their piggybacks in the classified pages now that a DME reflash is available from the same site sponsor.

after checking with tuners in the States, I'd have to agree with Eric... Obd2 tuning could yield marginal increases... you'd be better off with a SuperCharger/Obd2 tuning combo from Atlanta

Re: Summary of Aftermarket ECUs / Controllers

However you can't cheat the ECU and tune that out because the ECU will prevent that (like a "limp home" mode).

Does this mean that the OBIT2 piggybacks will on random occasion have the ECU dropping in the 'limp mode'?
