Ok folks..

I've been getting enough email regarding OBD-II performance work, that I thought I'd answer to the masses..

YES, We are working on OBD-II.. there are 3 steps to this..

  1. Developing a proper method for reading and writing the

    Siemens MS41.1 and Bosch M5.2 flash memories via the underhood diagnostic connector

  2. Interpreting the existing program
  3. Optimizing it for performance...

We are concurrently tackling #'s 1 & 2

Once 1 & 2 are done.. a few days on the dyno will yield a finish to #3 and a proper result :)

Please note: It's step #1 that everyone else is side-stepping and I won't do that!

Siemens NEVER intended.. nor did Rob't Bosch intend for the flash memory chips to be desoldered and hacked

NO, We will not release anything until it is up to Bonneville

Motor Werks standards (there will be no expediant solder jobs, etc... only reprogramming thru the diagnostic port!)

I hope this clears things up a bit..

Jim

PS: Oh, yeah.. the ETA is 90-120 days for the Siemens (325i/M3)

MS41 series ECU's...
