Author Topic: Installed Dinan Chip - Nice & it was free! (Read 3573 times)

The guy who I bought my E30 from over a year and a half ago just sent me a Dinan chip he had for the M42. Of course I rushed out and put the thing in. The biggest difference that I noticed is the throttle response is so much smoother. No more "on/off" feeling when you lift or nail the throttle.

Seems to have a bit more mid range oomph...but certainly doesn't transform the car into an M3. I haven't tested the red line - I've heard this chip is fairly conservative so I imagine the new limit is 6800-6900 or so.

But hey...it was free and it seems well designed.

Just got one of these Dinan chips off ebay for under $50 shipped and I am very impressed. Car has really pepped up. Way worth it for the money and 15 minutes it takes to install. May not be the best but it does make a difference. I have had 3 M cars with Conforti Shark injectors I installed and this was equal to what they offer.

Just make sure you use the best fuel at the pumps
