Engine control chip

[keikic]

Hi everybody.....

I have a 1996 r1100r. Just wondering how a new engine control chip works, if it works, if it's worth it to install and potential problems is might cause. I saw one for sale on eBay and was thinking of getting it but I fear that it just might open up a whole new can of worms. Anybody out there have any experience wit this?

Thanks!

What is in the new chip which 50 BMW design engineers left out of the old one?

I have a year 96 R1100R. The fuel injection systems runs very well. It is a motronic system developed by Bosch

Save your money and buy a decent DMM and Manometer so that you can get the timing and injection set-up pretty much perfect

Aftermarket control chips (installed in the motronic-unit) usually lift the rpm barrier and enrich the fuel/air mix. However the effect is minimal and usually should be accompanied by other changes (pistons, cams, etc). Replacing the original BMW chip with a newer BMW chip is nonsense and just a waste of money.
