I'm taking out my eat ultrachip and putting the powerchip back in
I've been running the EAT chip for a while. I like it a lot, I want to go back to the powerchip to see what it's like. They claim 21kw increase and a 36nm increase with my chip over a stock chip. I'm skeptical because I think the EAT chip is better. To get rid of any doubts the powerchip is going back in. the 179.0R on the EAT chip signifies a 6500 rpm limit, up from 6200. These things are so easy to change. 20mins max.

yeah definitely let us know the difference, i'm thinking about a powerchip but at $990AUD it'd better be good!

actually forget that, i just had a look at the EAT chip prices and there's no way i'm getting a powerchip now... the only question from me is: with an auto is there any point getting one of the chips that increase the rev limit? i'm pretty sure the transmission shifts at 5800-6000 regardless, so it probably won't help me at all (plus with 272kkm on the clock it probably shouldn't go higher)

You can buy my powerchip if you want. your right the trans shifts at at around 5800-6000. If you hold the car in gear, than you can rev the engine higher.

Remember that it will take a while for the maps to get re-learned for your new chip, so the best comparison will be after you've driven around a while. Try to hit lots of different load/RPM points at mid throttle... that's where the fuel trim map is learned. WOT just uses the learned trim settings but there's no feedback, so if you're like me and drive at WOT all the time, it won't have a chance to adjust!Originally Posted by BigKriss

I had a few pulls against a e34 535is with a 5 speed, eat equipped. down low and off the line my car was slower, acutally my car was slower against it right through the rev range, it feels like a dog off the line. I went for a passenger ride in his car, first time in a manual e34 535i, he was pulling to around 6000, the engine was smooth and it loved to rev. It feels a lot different than the auto, that it gets to the redline a lot quicker, of course more gears. The car had around 280,000 kms on the clock. it had 17"s, the ride was comfortable - an eibach / bilstein combo

I had a drive of a 535is manual here a year or so ago. It was bloody marvelous!! None of the lag that our autos get... just smooth 211bhp from standing start!! Not afraid to smoke some rubber either, even in 2nd!!
Lucky I didn't get a manual... I'm nice and gentle on the auto. Manuals are racers, autos aren't (no offense Kriss)
Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(
And then...

lol. thats cool mate. we have a 3.91 diff, as grave77 found out recently, a auto to manual swap would result in a top speed of 210km at 6200rpm. Anyway the eat chip went back in, more torque down low, not as much accelerator pedal needed for the same acceleration.

by the way with a chip it made 235Km/h but RPM is almost 7500!! I'm still seeking a 3.64 or 3.46 Diff. ratio !!
