Hi guys,

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DYNOPOWER-PERFORMAN...=item4144a3a9c4

i saw this performance chip on Ebay not long ago and had a read of it. It seemed to good to be true for its price..

What you reckon?? or has anyone tired it??Would it affect an N/A's performance once??

cheers

DONT

BOTHER

110% agreed, dont waste your time and money

do what 99.9% of everyone else does, and that is to go and get your car tuned, by a professional, to take in account every nuance of your own particular cars features and limitations

it'll be safer (for your engine), more powerful, and better for the environment (and your long term petrol costs)

If you're up north, road and track dyno, morpowa, willall and horsepower in a box are available

if you're down south, southern hitech dyno, turbotune, graham west can all do the same job

I prefer road and track and southern hitech cause I know both of the guys there but call around and see which one can fit your expectations the best

AS IF IT DOESNT WORK! i bought one of those chips and put it in my car and it made it HEAPSSS QUICKER! it looks like a scam but its not it fully works!

never said it didnt >work<

it just doesnt work >well<

Unless of course you're running 100% stock components, in which case its probably not too bad - but who has 100% stock everything? Just about every car that comes into the country has aftermarket induction and exhaust

Yeah stay away from them, like ben said better off getting your car tuned properly. Every car has slightly different parameters, therefore no one "Magic Chip" can be classed as a reliable form of tune upgrade.

that isn't a chip as such, it's just a resistor to play with the AFM signal and lean out the mixtures. And since our cars were actually tuned for 100RON jap fuel which we don't have, so we are stretching our mixtures already on the 40 degree Australian summer days. Another thing that points to it not being a chip is that they sell them from R33's which are fairly unchipable (well for under $800-1000 anyway).

its a cheap knock off of a fuel cut defender lean you car = more power then bang

Skyline ECUs are fairly efficient at making power (a touch on the rich side). But it's a N/A engine with turbocharger-like compression, unfortunately all you can do is supporting mods, high flow panel filter, exhaust, cold air intake etc for small gains. unfortunately you can't just magically pull power out of your hat, unless you go forced-induction.

I've looked into these magic chips in the past when I owned a commodore, I concluded they are just resistors to make the engine think it's running colder than it actually is, permanently making your engine run alot hotter than it was designed for.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
