So who wants their ECU's "Chromed"?

[Greg E]

Oh, you created the 2.9 datafile?! Good work B!

Yeah he started it. I had to back thru it and fix a lot of things.

(just kidding!!!!)

If I click on the links I just get the filedropper main paige? Am I doing something wrong?

Finally got my car down the road using this setup on my 92. Soooooo much better than the arc-2, and the driveability was perfect even considering that the car has been sitting for over a year. Granted, I haven't driven the car in a while, but it felt really strong on 16psi compared to before., I will dyno it to confirm this, and tune a little more power out of it.. I was getting some knock after multiple 1-3 gear pulls in the 99* heat on stock ic's, but bob's dualcore is sitting in my garage to take care of that.

Thanks again to all the guys (monochrome, jeff, etc) involved for making this happen, it is definitely a huge accomplishment for this platform.

I also want to publicly thank Adam(jester), for helping me, without me even having to ask, diagnose the issues I was having, and fixing the montero ecu I was sold as "modified". His service is top notch, and he really took a lot of time to help out a complete stranger.

Congratulations...its a great feeling to have a running car.

Ya, I have to say my car drives very smooth with this setup, I love it. I also think I'm getting better MPG, as well!

It seems like back in the day, everyone couldn't wait to eliminate the stock MAF, not so much due to its flow measurement limitation, as much as it was just a big intake restriction. Now it seems like everyone's going back to using MAFs with the new ECU setups. Is the intake restriction not that big a deal anymore, or is it just that no one with the new ECU setup is running big enough turbos to be worried about the intake restriction of a MAF, even an EVO MAF? I really, REALLY don't want to go back to a restrictive MAF setup, but if ppl are getting true, major, gains in smoothness, reliability and stability of tune, and more midrange power over a MAFT setup with Chromed ECUs, then I'll have to bite that bullet and go that route as well. Good thing Tial makes a recirculation BOV that will mount right up to my existing setup.

The Evo MAF is good for ~500-600hp. That's more than enough for most people...

You mean good for that power with minimal restriction? I'm sure you can get that power with any MAF, but doesn't mean it is efficient...

Anyhow, I was just reading about how a bunch of BMWs were getting stolen overseas by reprogramming a blank key for the car, etc etc and I remembered seeing a table in the ROM for some security code. Are these ECUs equipped for something like that hardware wise? It would be really cool to just get a little fob on your keychain that was required to start the car...

No. Where did you read this in the ROM?

Anybody else having this problem?
