kerry 10 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 Troy reckons after testing that spare ECU of yours that his original ECU made his m50 a bit better.. You should knick his ECU for a while and put it in your rocketship and take it for a skid... See what difference it makes... But then again, maybe it's all in his head oh dude once i save a lil like say heaps haha il just go get remaped in the end its cheaper than link and will get best results pos , i think his 405 that hes got was made for the e34 for more torque and the one ive got seems to rev harder? .

Have done away with idle control valve though and not sure how good a condition the O2 sensor is. Yea mine goes pretty good aye mate, you would need to look down the forced induction path lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) The M50 DME will not run the M52Tu/M54 properly because it cant controll twin vanos motors. Thats where your tuning issues lie. You need the correct DME for the car or get one coded to suit. Talk to Wayne @ EFI Tech on the North Shore BTW: Welcome to the forum Kerry...nice car Edited August 31, 2009 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
