Post by: C.Saenz on October 05, 2008, 11:45:42 PM: Hey 250... I want to buy up one of these chips sometime too. How did it go? Noticeable power increase? Car "demeanor"? I've read about lots of other engines on Mark's chip (mostly 5 series people have great reactions) Anyone on here have any remarks?

Post by: Jimmy Lewis on October 06, 2008, 11:48:44 AM: Without even considering the power increase, think that when you rev the motor up to 7100, the next gear will be that much higher in the powerband. That's what I like best, it makes more power at every RPM and every throttle position, but that extra 600 RPMs is where it's at. And these motors absolutely scream at 7000RPM, it's well worth what he charges for them.

Post by: Jimmy Lewis on October 06, 2008, 09:00:19 PM: I'm not really sure power wise. I do know that both know their stuff, but I would rather send my money to Mark, as he just seems more grassroots. Mark also offers a 93 octane chip and his M42 chip turns the redline up to 7100 rather and 7000. It probably isn't that much different, but M42 guys seem to prefer Mark D for one reason or another.

Post by: JP 91iS on October 07, 2008, 01:01:37 PM: Mark D it is then. I see he also provides the chips for Metric Mechanics, that's good street cred.

Post by: Hodge on October 07, 2008, 09:36:13 PM: Email him. He will get one for you. I am currently emailing him back and forward about the E36 M42 chips. Great guy, and I can't wait to buy one!

Post by: MarkD on October 27, 2008, 09:54:42 AM: If anyone emails me and doesn't get a response within 3 days, please try again and remind me that you are waiting for a response. I'm busy with something right now, but will try to respond within a few days.

I'm working on firmware for the product described on this site, and that's keeping me busy:

I made chips for most of the E36 M42's, but there are some odd varioations of software in those and it's best if you can send me both the DME number, such as 0 261 203 282, and the software number which is found on the label of your stock chip. This is because I have to send you the proper software number, or the car may not start.

Yes I need to know if you have an auto or manual transmission for these cars.

Post by: nTranced on October 28, 2008, 12:57:14 PM: is there any chance you could make a chip with the timing maps a few degrees retarded with 24lb injectors? I want to run a little more boost without the fear of detonation due to the timing being advanced to much

Post by: Colorado M42 on November 19, 2008, 11:46:35 AM: I just bought a '91 318is yesterday and the previous owner had a Dinan chip put in. Any ideas how this Dinan chip compares to the Mark D chip?
Thanks!

Title: mark d chip
Post by: roundel318 on November 19, 2008, 08:46:05 PM: Mark D's chip rev's to 7100, Dinans to 7k.
Mark has a chip for the M42 motors made for 93 octane too :)
Otherwise his regular is for 91 octane, like Dinans and JC's.
1: Mark D
2: JC
3: Dinan
I know there are some others, but that is who we are talking about.
Check the GB/Vendor area, we started up another group buy with Mark, 8% off his price.

I just saw your post now. I can retard the timing, but to accurately adjust the fuel for a car with boost, I need to log it and make the changes. What chip are you currently using?

Post by: roundel318 on November 21, 2008, 08:44:32 AM: Just so anyone who is reading this knows, we have a GB with Mark running in the GB/Vendor area, just in case anyone missed it.
Mark said if we can hold out for 10+ people, we can get a better discount. With 5 already on board, we are haflway there :)

Post by: persianbmw on January 17, 2010, 12:38:31 AM: are tunes for turbos just made very conservative. i was under the impression every engines dif and its just amplified by adding a turbo. can these tunes be tweaked to specific car needs if taken to a dyno tune
