Eurocharged Performance Tuning Thread

[Eurocharged]

So I still need to get some data sorted out for the E46 tunes but this will the thread for everyone to find info on their cars and ask questions, share opinions and all of that.

For starters I am just going to list out what I have listed on my sheet as for gains for some of the E46's we will be offering tunes for. Dynos and all of that will come later (including my own ZHP).

*Please keep in mind these numbers are for base cars with no mods. Adding an upgraded intake and/or exhaust will help your car make the most of the tuning and yield larger gains as it allows us to safely push the the motor to be more efficient and thus powerful.

WE ALSO NOW OFFER CATLESS HEADER CODING WITH TUNING FOR AN ADDITIONAL $150. The coding will eliminate your CEL and maintain your "state of readiness" needed for state emissions tests via OBDII port.

Tuning is done a few ways here at Eurocharged.

1. Visit us or one of our many dealers or tuning days located all over the globe (see link for dealers below)
2. Send us your ECU to our Headquarters in Houston TX. We will tune it and ship it back.
3. Add a MyGenius to your tuning package and tune the car in your own driveway!


Combine your tune with our BMW MYGenius Handheld Programmer for easy switching between files.

http://www.eurocharged.com/images/Euro_mygenius.jpg
What does this mean to you?

Well you will now have the capabilities of flashing and reflashing your car in the convenience of your own home, and you keep the flasher for future use!

MyGenius is the most versatile instrument ever invented for serial programming through OBDII.

It uses all recent communication protocols (K-Line, Can and J1850), which allows us to read and write the ECU of most vehicles. MyGenius is able to store the original (stock) file and multiple tune files on the internal memory card. The user can swap between files whenever it’s convenient.

The MYGenius Kit Contains:

F32MYGENIUS - MYGENIUS TOOL
F32GN024 - OBDII CABLE
C32GNUSB01 - USB CABLE
CUSBKEY - USB KEY with SOFTWARE

To update the MyGenius is really simple. The owner needs an internet connection and a few minutes to download what they need from our database, which allows the MyGenius to be able to communicate with a large number of vehicles / ecus. The MyGenius is an all-purpose OBDII flasher with excellent features.

MyGenius is also very easy to use. It will show you the steps to follow during the reading and writing of the ECU, with detailed instructions.

No more sending in your ECU before visiting the dealer for routine service!

We offer a 7 day money back guarantee on our tunes. If you don't like it, we will remove it and set you back to stock at no charge.
*note MyGenius sales are non refundable once the unit has been used on your car. Because the unit is VIN locked when "mated" to a DME, it will not be able to be restocked after it's 1st use.

F.A.Q.

Who is Eurocharged?
A: Eurocharged Performance opened its doors in January of 2009 with the support of many friends and family members. We knew we could provide high quality Mercedes, BMW, and other European aftermarket parts to the public cheaper than the competition, while still maintaining quality and performance. After the merging of L.E.T. Motorsports and Eurocharged, we wasted no time finding a shop, purchasing the needed equipment for fabrication, hiring key people in the industry, and building an inventory of high quality parts ready to ship to the customer when ordered.

Eurocharged Performance acquired the inventory / rights to LET Motorsports and their products. LET had made the decision to focus on the software development, leaving the crucial hardware development to Eurocharged. We now have the ability to tune most European vehicles and provide high quality, affordable aftermarket parts to complement one another.

Today at Eurocharged, we have a global dealer network that allows us to better serve customers and enthusiasts on 6 continents, while also implementing our master plan of worldwide domination :drevil (ok... just kidding about that last part).

Are these tunes 1 file you distribute to everyone?
A: NO!
All of our tunes are "made to order" which means we take into account your car, any modifications and your desires for how you'd like it to drive. Some other tuners just give you a file that was made on a car with specific mods that probably differ of what is on your car. At Eurocharged we don't make cars faster or more powerful, we make YOUR car as fast and powerful as it can be with the modifications you currently have.

What happens if I purchase modifications later on, is there an extra charge for a new tune?
A: No, your car is Eurocharged for as long as you own it. If you need a modified map, you let us know and we will re tune the car.

*If for some reason your car's file is erased, there might be a charge for retuning which will be determined on a case by case basis at the time of contacting us if such happens.

What goes into tuning a ZHP at Eurocharged?
A: Some of the MANY areas (but not all) that we are able to modify to make the ZHP faster and more powerful are:
-Ignition advancing
-Air mass flow
-Fuel mapping
-RPM limiter
-IVVT set points
-Valve spread on inlet cam
-Thermostat control
-Fan speed control

And most importantly for the Steptronic Transmission - Throttle sensitivity

Does the Eurocharged Tune eliminate the 4k RPM dip in power?
A: At this time our base ZHP software eliminates SOME of the dip but it is believed that only the adaptation of resetting the DME is causing this. We are going to continue to try new ways to compensate the dip through powersmoothing but have not successfully countered the dip yet.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks guys!

[acontzhp]

Will there be any software tune available for the steptronic?

[Eurocharged]

Yes we are able to really tweak the step trans to behave more aggressively and alter shift points, red line and all of that. It transforms the feeling of the car.

Wow nice. Now will it be included in the same package/price? Because I know some companies charge for two separate tunes, one for engine and one for the trans.

We're not going to try and say "we're better than _____ or ______."

Hard data should speak for itself (and it's on the way). We have thousands of happy customers on several different continents who love their tunes on many European makes and models. We let those speak for themselves. Plus we offer a 7 day money back guarantee, if you don't like it - we will put you back to stock and refund you the cost of the tune.

[Eurocharged]

lifetime updates on the tune - you get a new mod, you get a new file.

[Eurocharged]

How long does it take to flash the car?

1st read is 45-60 minutes (always the longest and only this long 1st time). Then we take the file and modify it (these are all handmade tunes specific to your cars software version, your mods, your preferences). Then after that each upload of files takes 5-15 minutes to "write" to your ECU.

Don't want to derail a thread dedicated for E46s, but I have a question for my car.

All tunes available on my car lock the sports button to on...and you can't turn it off. With that being said...it makes the gas pedal too sensitive and I hate it.

Can you make a tune that doesn't do this?

Seth, two things

1 - the pic on the site for ZHP actually shows a pre-facelift coupe, you might want to have them change that

2 - you might want them to also have something on that page to mention that Step programming for the tranny is available. Is it the same price ($400) as for a manual or is it different?

Well since we don't have a shark to do it ourselves why don't we commission one of you fellas who does to do a comparison test for us?
I'll do a 1/2 price tune for whomever wants to do it and if you prefer the shark in the end, no worries we will refund you 100%. The only issue is that you will need to be in the vicinity of one of our dealers to do it because we can't refund the cost of the MyGenius once it's been used.

Whoever wants to do it PM me and we will work something out. If you're in Houston (or near it) thats a big bonus as you can go to our headquarters and we can do some dyno runs for you with both tunes installed (free of charge for these purposes only).
If you're in Chicago we might be able to work something out also.

[johnrando]

I already have an AA tune, but I'm definitely interested in the Step s/w. Can we get that separately?

I have another question...

Dinan sells three tunes, one for a stock setup 330, one if you installed their intake, and one if you installed intake and high flow throttle body. I currently have the BMW Performance intake but I doubt I will buy the throttle body ($900 for a 9% larger bore).

My question is can the tune be customized depending on what other parts we have installed or is it a one size fits all tune?

hey guys, i'm in houston and have the shark injector flash on my car. i would be willing to do the guinea pig tune if you guys are seriously interested...

We write new files for each car getting a tune according to what mods you have, what preferences you want (as long as it's possible to do so) and how you want the car to behave (in some cases we might have already done a file for an 04 zhp with x y and z mods on it and if the software is the same version we will just give you that file to save you an hour of your day). These aren't piggy backs or mass produced tunes, these are good old fashioned ECU flashes on a customer by customer basis. Thats how we roll and part of what makes us and our tunes stand out.

[Eurocharged]

sorry john, didn't mean to skip ya. If you are running AA then the tune would actually delete the AA tune completely so we can't offer you a mix and match.

However I can tell you this - AA hires us out to do a lot of tuning for them so maybe that says something... :dunno

;)

For those who are interested in doing the shark comparison please PM me, we'd like to get this done this week if not early next week and you'd need to be able to dedicate a few hours to us doing so.

very cool... I thought I had read that but forgot. So say I do get your tune (+ the MyGenius) and one day I decided to drop the money on the throttle body, would you guys be able to give me an updated tune that I can download onto the MyGenius and just update my car or would I have to take it to LA to get adjusted for the new part?

Does your tune remove the 4K rpm power dip common to E46?

If someone wants to do the shark comparison and lives out there that would be a perfect opportunity.

[Eurocharged]

FAQ section added and hopefully answered some of your guys questions.

in regards to the 4k RPM dip, our current file has a slight dip - this is the file we start with to make our tune from our parent company in Italy (not as bad as stock). If we have a tester here that is either in the Houston area or in the DC are and available to make the 2/17 dynotuning day, Jerry will be willing to use your car as our 1st ZHP remap recipient to smooth out the dip and be our new baseline for all ZHP tunes done by Eurocharged. I will be offering a small discount on the tuning for this person. Please contact me ASAP if you're interested.

[johnrando]

I must be blind, as I don't see the FAQ section. Really interested in more detail on the STEP part of the tune. I'd love to help out with the beta testing but I'm not close to DC or HOU.

Seth, I'm interested in bumping up the size of my MAF from 2.9 inches to the 330 size of 3.5 inches. Can Eurocharged work around that if it's possible on an MS42 DME. This would also require my Throttle Body to be swapped for a 3.5 inch bore...(I'm working on finding a custom TB for this issue, so no worries about the drive-by-wire)

I'm also be going to upgrade my fuel injectors to 24 lb/hr (found on the 330). Will this be acceptable for the current flow through rail design, or would I see excess fuel consumption?

Thanks!

p.s. I have a 328i...

[Eurocharged]

Sounds like it can be done/mapped out properly but you'd be best talking to Jerry directly about the specifics on that one. Swapping components can be easy sometimes and hard others because cars stock ECU files differ so much that sometimes even just swapping an intake manifold would need the base ECU file of the other car for it to run properly.

[edlvrt]

Seth, you mention that the throttle sensitivity for automatics has been changed. I'd imagine that the sensitivity has been adjusted to reduce the delay that manual transmission cars experience as well, but can you confirm this? Thanks

[Eurocharged]

confirmed. both get revamped throttle mapping

[Katu]

Very interesting thread! I'm curious how this compares to AA / Shark as others have mentioned. I currently only have a BMW Performance Intake, but I'm installing a 3.46 diff in the next week or two. A tune and suspension is probably what I am looking at next, I'll keep a close eye on this!

I need to do more research on tuning. It's different that the software that you can buy from AA and Conforti right?


From my understanding in talking with Seth and Jerry. They do the tuning for Active. Seth can probably touch on this better than me. I still need to send my follow up email to them.

To answer this:

1. Yes it is different than other tunes because we customize any/every aspect of the tune to your car, not just your model of car. We will take into consideration the various mods you have for performance, the transmission and shift points, the type of driving style you want. If you tell us you don't care about HP - we will dump as much torque into the car as we can at the lower end of the power band. If you say you only want top end, we will do the opposite (note when you pull one end you'll likely lose on the other which is why we try to deliver a balanced tune for most engines).
2. We do tuning for a lot of companies as a 3rd party. We have tuned for AA on their SC systems, Underground Racing hires us for a good majority of their cars, countless private owners to do collections of Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Audi ect... Jerry has even been hired to fix ECU problems on Lambos from the factory (not actually the factory but by Lamborghini USA). The word is out that Jerry is a top dog at what he does for many makes across the board so his demand is high right now and for good reason.

Seth, would it cost more to get two tunes for different octanes? One for my daily 91 and one for the occasional 100 (more like 97/98 when diluted with the 91 at the bottom of my tank). This way I can just plug the MyGenius in and switch programs when I want to go track the car

[GSEN820]

I am waiting for an answer too. I am going to dyno car prior to install then dyno with tune.

[Hermes]

Gary, which car? I hope you're talking about the vert. I thought the plan is to sell the red one and buy ///M. You should put a tune on whatever you buy, don't spend the money on the old car

I am also planning before/after dyno to see the difference

[GSEN820]

Change of plan right now going to hold onto the red car for awhile longer.

I am really curious to see if the HP claims hold true on tune = )

I know I will see some zhp dynos and will do that later, but for now going play with the red car for now

[Hermes]

When do you want to dyno? Maybe we can get a package deal.

[GSEN820]

I can do it down here. I was going to LA to do it but down here is fine too. Saves me the trip although would have to pay down here.

I'd have to check but if it does it wouldn't be something like double or anything like that - maybe $100 at most if any.

Thanks, glad you like it.

[Kudos]

So was the dyno off or is the car underperforming?

[nike001]

I'd say dyno

[Eurocharged]

possibly a combination of both. I think we will let jayjay get his stuff fixed up and then revisit a dyno after thats taken care of. In the mean time my car should be ready for a dyno/tune in a few weeks so hopefully we can show you guys some 6MT numbers there.

Any tuning options for E53 X5 4.8is?

[UdubBadger]

As long as it has an OBDII port it's flashable.
V8s make good power too.

Sweet! The X5 will be primarily my daily here in another year after the boy has had his license for a year or so, and he takes the 330. So time to start acquiring mods. Tuning will be first followed by some Eissenman Sport Exhaust system, then coil overs and interior work (speakers, CF wrap the trim, etc.)

[HokieZHP]

So does the Eurocharged tune also raise the redline to 7000?

awesome!!! Been looking around for a retailer that sells the Eisenmann exhaust for the X5.

I saw on your site that you have programming for the E70 but didn't see the E53. Do you have that as well?

[Eurocharged]

yeah like I said, if its euro and OBDII port we can do it. We just don't advertise a lot of them because it's not in super high demand. Realize the man hours it would take to list every tune, dyno (which we probably don't have) and info on every euro make model year and engine trim out there with an OBDII port. Thats like over 1000 cars right there.

What engine do you have, I have a fer variations listed (some might be european):

Seth, you guys are more than welcome to setup on maintenance day (Sunday). John, or whoever would be coming, is also welcome to join in Friday night fun, though logistically that might be tough for him/them.

If you could, in the 2012 SigFest thread, copy and paste all people attending, plus the maintenance list, plus, make a new list for people wanting tunes. Specify price and approximate time for tuning each car. Thanks.

Let's keep a running tally, on one list, regarding all maintenance/tunes/attendance.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[Eurocharged]

Well we aren't 100% coming yet. If we did, we would need to probably tune both Saturday night and Sunday - I assume a lot of people are leaving Sunday anyway. I will start an interest thread and if we can get enough people attending who want tunes for us to come then we will officially do all that in the SIGFest thread.

[Johnmadd]

My question is this, I absolutely have no dip in acceleration because my cars po had it sent to jersey for update, your software is based on fixing the dip at the same time, so if I get a tune will I get a slight dip even though I will gain hp/tq?

[Eurocharged]

no if you don't have the dip your car will not tune with a dip.

I'm actually curious if we put the tune from a non dip car onto one that has it if that would fix it. It would at least tell us if the dip was caused by software or hardware.

[Johnmadd]

Can you copy my current tune?

[Eurocharged]

meaning what like create a tune off of your current tune?

Just in case, no disrespect, just if id like to go back to stock.

[Eurocharged]

no disrespect taken.

i assume by "stock" you mean your old tune. We can probably do that but your tune wouldn't be made from your stock software so we might not be able to guarantee you will be issue free. Chances are you'd be fine but tuning off of someone elses tune means if their software has flaws we wouldn't be liable for some other tunes issues, know what I mean?

[danewilson77]

I don't think he's talking about a tune at all. I think he's talking about saving his stock parameters and settings.

Funky question... let's say I buy another DD one day (after tuning in the near future) and decide to do 6MT swap, overbore, port/polish, and go F/I - basically a track car, can you provide me with deal on a custom tune for that?

Provide a deal? :dunno

You mean because you bought a tune from us for a different car do you get a discount on a 2nd one?

Well I didn't really mean to use the word "deal" - I was more wondering if you do that kind of custom work

I'm so confused...

You're talking about buying a car, tuning it, then swapping a crap ton of stuff on it and retuning for that application?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk... Bitches

I believe he's asking if you do completely custom tunes. Instead of just tweaking the base tune for an intake or something, he wants to know if you can make a tune for his specific car with FI and a bunch of other custom items.

I've been really enjoying my eurocharge. The step transmission has been extremely responsive and more aggressive in s/d and m modes. Nothing but terrible gas mileage lately but that could be due to: moving to a hilly neighborhood a week ago, driving the hell out of the car because it's so fun now, and limited highway mileage. Redline is 6.5k in 1st and 6.8k in 2nd. I'm not sure if the stated redline improvements were for manual only or not. Either way it has been a great addition to my ZHP. Torque is the big bonus for me around town and always feeling like I'm near the sweet spot.

bump for a great software flash! had my zhp re-flashed today to take advantage of the technik headers i installed. big difference in mid-range torque! hopefully, if i find time on a weekday, i'll get dyno tuned to really dial in the performance. i miss my n54's and the gobbs of torque, but a m54 with catless headers and a eurocharged reflash is quite nice for a daily driver :)

[M3TA5IN]

Yea I know, I spoke to them. They are still working on getting a large enough commitment to consider it. For the cost of a SC though I rather just trade up to a 335 or 135.

That's cool you guys are doing headers though. Def good stuff!

[UdubBadger]

:)

I agree though, a 135/335 trade up is probably why nobody has made the kits yet, seems like about the cost to upgrade. Personally if I was going to do it, I'd go 135i N54 and invest $3k into the Rob Beck turbo upgrades right off the bat.

Agreed with you as well. I understand why the N52 doesn't get a lot of love, but it would still be cool lol.

I'm with you though, 135 or 335 and stop trying to scavenge the interwebz for something that is not there.

I'm always torn between the 135 and 335. I love the 335 appearance stock. The 135 I can't get into stock but then I remember how your 135 looked and I'm like oh yea, that's why I love them so much haha.

It's about fucking time...

That douche, MixFlame has had a set for 4 months and hasn't even installed them to check for fitment. Anthony's all like, "Lets give him a chance..."

Hope the install goes smoothly, Seth. And I would like to see some extreme close-ups of the welds at the merge and the flanges. Thank ya kindly.

[Eurocharged]

Yep gonna do some macro photos of everything.

Speaking of a tune, are you going to make it down to SD Seth? If so when, as I'd like to plan for the tune?

I'm in, let me know when!

[johnrando]

Will do! You're getting a tune Gary or you just coming to hang?

[HokieZHP]

How long does a header install take?

[UdubBadger]

about 2 weeks (to get it to the shop - then 3-4 hrs by a pro)

[WOLFN8TR]

Will do! You're getting a tune Gary or you just coming to hang?

Actually both if funds permit. Would like to meet some of you guys. Gotta line up some projects also.

Seth how much does the tuning cost? ZHP is all stock and more than likely will stay that way. PM me some info please.

[johnrando]

Awesome. We'll definitely have to do something then.

[WOLFN8TR]

Sounds Good...

Just read all 8 pages, I like how you can change the shifting charateristics on the step transmission, Nice! The tuning sounds alot like EFI LIVE which have I have on my Duramax Diesel. Not a canned tune but customized tunes for your mods or needs. Count me in on this Fo Sho. I have a Step BTW.

[jayjay_dee]

Seth, since my ZHP got "EuroCharged", some parts were added/deleted, let me know if I could use a new/updated tune.

Added - e46 OEM Performance Muffler
Deleted - mechanical and Aux fan (replaced by just one Electric fan)

and of course, i got my wheel recently rewrapped (15 HPs right there alone, lol)...

[UdubBadger]

Haha, possible to maybe get you 1 or 2 ponies extra out of the exhaust but that's probably about it. All u gotta do is call that shop and go in and they'll get it done for ya.

I'm curious how this compares to AA / Shark as others have mentioned.

Same here, any info is appreciated.

Seth or John any plans set for tuning down in San Diego yet?

[UdubBadger]

Still figuring out if I'm going to be coming or not and when it would be (I was told October but not specifically when).

[WOLFN8TR]

That would be fine with me, thanks.

[johnrando]

I'm standing by for Seth's schedule, so I'm chill. Hoping it will work out and ready for the roadie, but if not, NP.

His trip to San Diego.

[HokieZHP]

Can I ask if the gains would change any when the tune is tailored for an exhaust and intake?

[UdubBadger]

Depends, every set up is different. Because they are custom made the advertised gains are only a very well educated guess (but a guess made with intake/catback exhaust already in mind). Some might make 1-2hp less, some might make 1-2hp more.

[UdubBadger]

Going in for bimmer brakes gen 3 headers install and tuning tomorrow morning. Will report back with a new thread as long as everything goes as planned. :thumbsup

[Eurocharged]

Working on dyno numbers as we speak will have some graphs soon.

my exhaust is smelly and sounds like shit. TSE3 light is even too much for headers. The rasp sounds like a 91 Chevy Lumina. Going back to stock ZHP exhaust tomorrow ASAP.

[HokieZHP]

I've heard that about the TSE3 with headers which is another reason why I went with Magnaflow just in case I did headers someday

[johnrando]

Too bad. I like my full TSE3 but I'm not going to headers due to smog. Sorry you can't make it out West Seth.

[UdubBadger]

yeah full or even light sounds PERFECT but man with those headers - no f-ing way man.

[ryankokesh]

Video of this monstrosity?
