PLEASE make more vids about tuning stock ECUs on various cars. This really only applies to 2000-2001 BMWs with that specific engine. the topic of tuning on a budget is a huge source of interest so I think its well worth your time to make some more content on this subject
You guys make a great trio! This video reminds me getting into electronics\cellphones modding, amazing seeing you learning all about this by yourselves!
I love how no matter what, anytime someones car gets mess up they just have this sick smile on their face and go "nice." I used to get so mad when something got broken and now im just like "huh whatdya know?"
I feel like I just sat on the edge of my seat for 20 minutes all excited with my keys in my hand only to feel like I'm back at that original intersection I started at wondering what the hell did I just do
The best way is to put the ecu in alpha n mode. So no maf. No disa. And Add fuel. The car wont read the timing you put in it if the fuel map is uncorrected. I have had this isseu. I got stuck at it so i changed to an ms43 with m54 throttle body and peddal. Made things a lot easyer.
Amazing. Needing to escape the reality of your own life with narcotic drugs, which diminish your cognitive abilities.

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down. And saw a couple of people not liking the patreon every UA-camr does this . This is what they do for a living it's not free for them to create content. Their cameras cost money the cars and the parts everything they do to make content cost money. Him doing patreon allows him a little more income to keep the content coming and for him to survive. Kinda like him getting a raise highly doubt any of you would say no to a raise at work lol. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts
With how cheap the stock ECUs can be sometimes obviously not on that BMW but like your 1st gen Chevy Silverado or Honda. they both made a lot of spare parts. so you could just buy an extra ECU and if you fuck it up just plug your old ecu back in. This would be a good idea if you daily it.

It's super cool you guys are pokin at the tech and gettin your hakx on. This is how great things start and innovation takes root. You never know till you try. Also, what's with all the MERCH comments? Unusually high on this video.
Found you from watching the Haggard guys back in the day saw you had your own channel and started watching been subbed ever since. Glad you got a Patreon, just signed up!
Let's be real, Patreon is about money. Let's not sugarcoat it anyway else lol. I'm cool with it if it means you get to do cooler things. I'm sure a bunch of people would be down to support you.
Get this thing an m54b30 intake and catless exhaust manifolt, those engine are screaming for air Flow, those intake tubes are so narrow. A good set of cams later and you can get some good power out of it.
Don't mind you having a patreon Jimmy but don't start ramming it down our throats , main reason I like your channel is because it's nitty gritty and straight to the point think like a few others said do merchandise if need some me more penny's
I had a 2003 E46 330i Wanted to look into mapping mine so I bought a cable called KWP2000, I never had to take apart my ecu to down load the hex data, it just read the ecu. But that’s as far as I got, I didn’t know where to go from there, plus, it was at that moment I knew I was getting in too deep for my liking.
KWP2000+ just downloads the the tune section of the DME, which doesn´t need the boot mode we used to use in the early days when removing the ews system.
I wish you could do this with the ka24, youd think after 20 years someone would figure it out by now ... We want to turbo our S14s but dont wanna drop 800 on a megasquirt...
This is super common in the VW and Audi world. If you don't do a check sum correction the car will start once then just crank with no spark. Ask me how I know.
This is exactly what I've been trying to look for I haven't be able to find any of the info you guys found cuz I've been wanting to tune my 2000 BMW 323ci
@@LIONKING1103 did you check RomRaider and forums there? MS42 forum should have ECU definitions. For flashing tools you can check here www.ms4x.net/index.php?title=Flashing_Tools. It's not a simple process, it's going to require a bit of reading and patience to get the full understanding of things.

Don't screw with the ECU. It has finite write cycles. If it decides to finally brick, you'll end up buying new ECU and having it reprogrammed which will cost lot more.
there's 3 ways to mod the ECU , Booting, Bench, and OBS(Laptop) some ECU's Allow Benching (honda's R-types and similar cars) and most of them require Booting, the ones that u can fiddle with the laptop... its easier cause u don't take the ECU out, but u can't read as much data, and u can't really do much with it (unless you're the guy from fast and furious with ADHD - but even him probably was only "disabling" error markups from the ECU so he doesn't get problems while running).... so yea u got a Booting ECU on this car (most BMW and Mercedes are like that).
BMW tunes them pretty damn well. Guys like rktunes and markertmotorworks are some of the best and they only get nominal gains. The factory computers are pretty good and can do some really impressive things when you add boost.

He's gotten hundreds of comments about a patreon because people WANT to support him. He didn't do it for himself to gain money.
Opinions cost money
If it was about money jimmy would be working as an engineer (he has an engineering degree) not making youtube videos
Possibly go over the hardware used, and how you connect the computer to the ECU
might be a silly question but, to conect the laptop to the car you use a usb-obd cable?
Great work jimmy keep it up
So happy you made a patron man! Already signed up !
The first 4 minutes: *filler*
4:02 : "Some stuff happened that I didnt film"

Get a 350Z stock computer can be tuned using RomRaider, same thing these guys are using. Cheap VAG KKL cable and nisprog(free) is all you need

Need that info, 00 323i
If you want to increase the power put a m50b25 intake manilfold
How much of an increase can you expect?
CompressorSurge stock power is around 193hp , with the m50 intake you can get around 220-230hp
Giovanni Terlizzi wow
@@CompressorSurge My B30 had an increase of 10% airflow, so roughly 20hp more.
