Eurocharged SoCal Tuning Day Interest

[UdubBadger]

You really only need to read the 1st post. The ECU is tuned - "optimized" if you will. There aren't options at all, just 1 tuning - with or without the handheld unit. The customization is based on what mods or performance parts you already have on your car.

So....the ECS is tuned to aftermarket intake, headers, exhaust, etc.

Does this make sense to do on a 100% stock vehicle?

Still some power left untouched in a stock car - even a k&n drop in filter helps though. However we can make a stock set up work more efficiently, you'll see both a bump in power and mpg's when tuned. On an AT you're also doing yourself a huge favor cuz of the steptronic getting a nice little overhaul.

Looks like I would need at minimum 4 confirmed buyers to make the trip out worth while.

Do we know what the final price will be?

Will it be tuned with the handheld module or another way. ( sorry, the 12 page thread and all the discussion here is a little confusing for a non gear head like me.)

I will be tuning it with the handheld. If you want a handheld to keep for yourself that is an additional cost.

The final price will be better if we can get more than 4 cars to do it. The retail cost is $365 so it will be at least that or less when I get the word from the bossman on pricing.

Thanx.

Do you have a link for "exactly" what would tuned (numbers @ what rpms, effects. Etc), on a manual transmission?

Also, if something were to go wrong, or if later we decided we no longer wanted the tune, how would we go about returning to stock?

[UdubBadger]

The dyno estimates are on that 1st page of the tuning thread, I'd link but I'm on my phone.

If you don't want it, we will flash it back for you however since we are not locally represented out there we would probably have to ship you the small tuner to do it yourself - its not hard at all.

If someone here would like to post a feeler thread on e46f.c and bf.c for the tuning day that might be a good way to grab some more cars for this thing.

Phz: I have an AA tune, and Eurocharged worked with them on their package, so this will give you a general idea (but I have an auto). The reason for my switching btw, is that Eurocharged addresses the auto shift points and AA didn't.

So, my MPG went up 3, my throttle was more responsive, the car had a little more oomph, there was a slightly better growl, and the rev limit was raised. The only hard data I can provide for my car was the MPG and rev limit. My car was basically stock engine performance-wise except for the BMW Perf Intake. I've since added a UUC TSE3 exhaust. Some of the tuning is simple, like factoring in what gas you run (tuning for 91 octane and not having to tune for 89). Where the tuning really shines is if you have headers, etc.

Again, this is from my own experience, I'm no expert by any means, and mine wasn't a Eurocharged tune. Frankly, for that price, just the MPG boost alone was worth it to me, plus the other butt-dyno features. Hope that helps.

@Seth, I'll ping on e46f.c. If someone else wants to do bimmerforums, go for it. I can, but I'm rarely on there so I'd rather someone who was on more. What is the date?
