Re: Mfesters, lets come up with F/I ourselves!

was reading this thread on M3forum:
http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=234765&highlight=horsepowerfreaks

when i thought to myself, why doesn't someone develope cheaper F/I solutions for our cars! Why doesn't Mfest get involved in this!? Def. not a F/I expert so my knowledge is rather limited, but maybe we can all participate/throw down some knowledge/cash/time whatever we got, and do some of our own F/I developement.... what do u guys think?

haha, its not as easy as it sounds :p

:rofl: must have been if we had someone that knew the coding for our DME's like the back of his hand then i guess it could be plausible (and he was willing to do it for close to free) but sadly not many people out there can say that :(

From the looks of it, putting a kit together isn't the hard part, it's the tuning. I wonder if you get similar hardware to a kit already in the market, and buy their software, will it work? lol

[mcr_driver]

probably not as the software is usualy within very tight tolerances any change up of that can cause limp mode status. going from a tm-12 blower to say a tm-17 or going from a roots to a snail as examples just won't work. it's usually best to do the coding for the kit that's required
