Re: ECU upgrade
trigger, in terms of the 2 you mentioned, they more or less do the same thing... not sure what just for cars uses but BVO uses OBIT and OBIT II. to me they most like do about the same thing and the performance gains are similar

Hehehehehe!!!!
Me no Jedi master lah, just helping out with my very limited knowledge on ECU programmings

It cost me SGD2800 when he came down. Heard that he will be coming down Next week for the GT race in Malaysia. email him at [email protected]

ECU upgrade by DMS
Joopy,
Have you put your Z4 on a dynamometer before and/or after the DMS remap?
DMS claim a 24bhp and 10ft/lbs improvement for the twin VANOS 3.0l engine after their remap.
For S$2,800, that doesn't seem like a lot of bang for your hard earned buck, or am I missing something here?
Any idea when will Rob Young be out in this part of the world again? Where did they do the reprogramming?
Cheers,
6spdMan

Re: ECU upgrade by DMS
I'm in the process of getting my E65 3L programmed by HIOP ( J4C ) and they cannot do it via the OBD port. Have to open the ECU to gain direct access to the chip. They said that it's the same with the E60, 318 Valvetronic and the Z4 as well.
So Joopy, how does DMS do it? Did he physically open the ECU to get to the EPROM or through the OBD port?

Hi 6spd,
IMHO, if DMS can release 24bhp more on a NA BMW 3l engine, I will be very impressed liao. Thats about 10%
improvement over stock. Beside looking at the absolute figures, heard that DMS managed to shift the
whole bhp and torque curve to more accessible/lower rpm on a M3 and the owner is impressed.
To me, $2.8k is worth it if DMS managed to do both the above. However, to each his own..........
There are pple who spent tons of money on magnet which has absolutely no gain what so ever(proven by byno chart).
I know as I was one of them.................sigh........
Cheers!

Re: ECU upgrade by DMS
I have scheduled a tune up with Rob for his DMS reflash once my parts are in.
DMS is a chip reflash. There's absolutely no HARDWARE installation. everything's done through the OBDII port via his computer. It's also invisible to the dealer (aka PML). (unless your dealer sifts through your source codes, which is highly unlikely) It's not model specific or brand specific. I believe Rob has the ability to tweak most common cars in singapore.
if you have a car that's only slightly modded or is a very common model (like the M3 or the 3.0L engine, or a F360, 911, 4200GT, GTA etc), then chances are he'll already have the map ready stored in the computer. In about a few minutes it can be successfully uploaded to your car and it'll be up and running immediately. Quotes for our BMW cars have commonly been in the $2500-$3000 region but best is to enquire with him directly.
If you have very heavily modded your car (like upgrade injectors), then his standard maps will not work. He'll go on a half-day road tune with you.
The beauty of this reflash is that this map even retunes the VANOS timings, which is an area that many many tuners are afraid of touching. And most certainly, any piggyback chip i know currently hasnt the power to influence, or local tuners do not have knowledge to tune. But then again, this chip is considered very very expensive. easily costing twice or more than the alternatives. so its simply a matter of "one cent money, one cent goods".
i personally know at least 2 members here with Rob's DMS reflash. And to my knowledge, they have performed extremely satisfactorily well. Rob comes down about once a month, but his schedule is extremely packed each time. Those who are seriously interested, then pm me for his contact. If you are looking for a custom road tune, then be prepared to wait till he has a clear slot.
