best tuner/tunes ever, great customer service and excellent guy

[bmwconnect]

Thanks for the kind word's Jean

[xxxJohnBoyxxx]

I can only say good things about Barrie. He did a excellent tune 60# injector tune on my turbo 318 when other tuners gave up on me. It was not a easy tune but since it was a Canada to Florida tune over the internet. He is great to work with and the tune is excellent.

I highly recommend him for your tuning needs. My tune was for a Motronic M5.2 on a Metric 2.1L running anywhere from 10psi ~ 24psi and it works flawless at any boost level I choose with perfect transition going into boost. This is a daily driver with all accessories and drives like a normal BMW car should until you hit the "loud petal" the it runs like a cat with carb spray shot under it's tail...(No animals where hurt it's just an expression)

web site is down .


im intrested in reading on the gains from the m44 one

[Jean H.318TI]

The tune on my car for the m44 is insane, nothing even close to my previous dinan and best of all is the power band all the way to the new red line 7300rpms it pulls really hard

[bmwconnect]

web site is down .


im intrested in reading on the gains from the m44 one

Website is getting a over haul for the new year but I can do shipping invoice directly threw paypal

I tuned the M42 with a extra 20 BHP on the dyno and I tuned the M44 the same way so you can expect a extra 20Hp gain at the crank for the M44 and even slightly better if you have supporting mods

Best regards

[Marv17]

dang. these are some good hp gains... do you know if the mpg suffers from the increased tune?

I'll be soon be getting a dinan throttle body for my car... hopefully you can tune it for that as well. i have a OBD-II S52. how much would you charge to do a tune? mods included: M50 manifold, CAI, exhaust, Dinan Throttle body (which is a 8% airflow increase).
I'll be working extra during the holidays and it'd be an awesome xmas gift to myself if i can afford to get it done :D

Marv the MPG increases slightly over stock at part throttle (cruising)
Marv for the S52 it will be 260usd + shipping *special holiday price* Normally this would be a custom tune and I charge more but I'm in a good mood this month ;)

contact me via email when you ready midnight-tuning@rogers.com

[Marv17]

haha, touché as so am I. I'll send you a pm.

[dguzzardo22]

wow 20 extra ! and better mpgs !! and you mean supporting mods you mean . a exhaust and intake or for our cars fogged airbox , and what else would help add the power with the tune?

[bmwconnect]

wow 20 extra ! and better mpgs !! and you mean supporting mods you mean . a exhaust and intake or for our cars fogged airbox , and what else would help add the power with the tune?

When I say supporting mods I mean if you have CAI or better flowing exhaust you might see a extra 2-5 crank hp on top of the 20bhp with my tune

[dguzzardo22]

as far as the install. tell me the process with that .

[bmwconnect]

as far as the install. tell me the process with that .

You must remove your DME, have it shipped to me and then I flash with my software then I send back and you simply install DME and go!

[dguzzardo22]

as far as process on shipping what is the wait once recieved. and also once it is flashed is there any reversal if im not happy? and if i do a motor swap can i get a tune for the new motor or i would be stuck with it. also my motor has high miles is it safe?

Shipping depends on you, where your located , How much you want to spend on shipping to me and how quickly you need the DME back

Yes the process can be reversed but without refund.. Why you might ask? I Don't want people steeling my code and reselling it

If you plan on doing a swap just wait so you don't have to pay for two tunes

High miles is not the killer but rather neglect, low octane gas used, and how often you do oil and fluid changes

[zoner]

I have the Dinan Stage I chip in my M42- it provides a reasonable bump over stock, but I doubt it is anywhere near 20HP. Additionally, I'm lucky if I get 20 MPG in the city and that's not even putting my foot into it.

I may have to look into this...

[dguzzardo22]

im not planning on stealing anything . i dont know a thing about codes and such . i dont know how to remove my dme yet .
and as far as proof on a m44 do u have any charts or anything ?

sorry for all the dumb questions im just looking for a christmas present to myself and i want all the info i can .

Thanks

also if i were to buy a dasc would u have to retune to map for the dasc ?

yeah, any kind of modification added later you would have to send it back for a retune ESPECIALLY for a supercharger. BUT know this, there is not a lot of engine modification you can add to the M42/4. The only other thing i can think of is a bigger MAF (which is probably not needed for a small motor), or larger injectors. The DME is on the passenger side as well. there should be threads or DYI threads on other sites to help you remove the DME safely.

[dguzzardo22]

so even with the tune with larger injectors . if someone would chime in on stock compared to bigger ones and if i going to get a tune i might as well get the tune with bigger injectors to get a little more power ..

Its not a matter of if you will or not it's just my policy and I stick to it ;)
if you want a tune and want your money back then contact Dinan ;)

I have no dyno sheets for the M44 but I can ensure you a dyno sheet is not needed to build a excellent calibration file/software for this car

Questions are not dumb :)

contact me by email if you need more info midnight-tuning@rogers.com

Bigger injectors will do nothing for you unless you are FI or have some major motor upgrades... such as cams,porting,over sized piston, etc.

[zoner]

BUT know this, there is not a lot of engine modification you can add to the M42/4. The only other thing i can think of is a bigger MAF (which is probably not needed for a small motor), or larger injectors. As bmwconnect stated- there are any number of things you can do to a M42/44 to increase performance like: cams, intake porting, head porting, milling, valve work, oversize pistons, forced induction, etc. etc., the problem is that with these engines, dollar for dollar it is very cost prohibitive for the associated gain in performance- $750 for a cam set is pretty steep, and that doesn't even take into account the valve work needed to make it work properly. You'll end up putting a few thousand $$ or more into getting probably less horsepower, compromised streetability, and likely less reliability than an S52 swap... It's just not really worth it, IMO.

[Jean H.318TI]

just get the tune from this guy i cant be any happier with the tune, my previous DINAN tune is nothing next to his tune, the car pulls really really hard and even more after the hp on the dinan tune start dropin after 6k, with his tune the car keeps pullin hard until the new red line, this is the most hp i got for the money and its cheaper than the dinan tune ;)

oh, yeah i know. I was just merely stating that with any other future engine modifications of any sort of these examples he'll have to have it tuned properly for them to achieve optum power. That is why i went with a S52 swap instead of rebuilding my M44 when i messed it up in the rain. money costs wasn't worth saving the motor.
but any who... i'll be going with this tune once i get my final touches in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to this xmas present to myself :D

I sent my DME to Barrie but he was not able to flash it, he could read only not write. I purchased another DME off of Ebay and I am sending it to him. When I get it back how do I go about aligning the new DME to my car? I sure hope this works, I really want the Midnight Tuned DME.

You nearest BMW dealer or BMW shop with the correct tools can align your NEW DME with your stock EWS module ;)

[dguzzardo22]

after the tune is sent back to me i would have to trailor my car to a bmw dealer to get it aligned?

is it possible to do it yourself without a trip to the dealer?

No you would not need to do that... His case was a special case and he needed to get a different DME

I'm just curious as to the cost variations of the flashes. What makes OBDII $80 more than OBDI @ your standard pricing? I'm aware of the different platform of electronics, but how does that intensify the process?

Time invested & calibration files are far more complex
prices are fair and competitive IMO

[tiFreak]

I guess I might as well jump on this before the sale ends, sending an email now :biggrin:

[Jean H.318TI]

nice dude u will notice the difference, its crazy

[xxxJohnBoyxxx]

I guess I might as well jump on this before the sale ends, sending an email now :biggrin:

If this is a OBD-II tune do you need a loaner DME to keep driving the car while the flash work is completed? If so we do that too at Midnight.

Ok, I know that this is not M42/M44 related, but I am looking for something for my M50. Specifically, I am going to be installing s50 cams, a 3.5 MAF with CAI and 20lb injectors.

Haven't found anything specific for the VANOS OBD1 M50 yet and was wondering if you have a solution/suggestion for me.

[wolferj-RIP]

I might have someone who can do that... If not, what would I need?

[xxxJohnBoyxxx]

Sorry to butt in but I think a LM-2 would be the best for this. Barrie tuned my car with logs from one of these units and when hooked up right they give a great amount of useful information.

A little expensive but so worth it. I've had mine for almost 2 years and look at it daily 20 times or more.

yup thats how barrie tune mine too, got the logs from the LM-2

I have a standard 96 M44 with a DOWNING/ATLANTA supercharger. I think the max pressure is 7.5 psi and I would like to get the most out of this four banger without overdoing it. Can I make other changes that would increase the performance without risking the head gasket?

I have run 15psi with a Downing kit. I used a 3.2" pulley and injected methenol after 10psi. I originally ran nick G's kit which is very stable to 12psi on the 30# injectors he supplies. I'm not telling you he suggests running 12psi but I had very good luck with his tune to 12 psi.

If you want to go to 15psi I suggest 42.8# injectors since they can supply the fuel needed for the boost, also methenol is needed as a chemical intercooler to cool the intake charge. All this was done on a completely stock motor with stock head gasket from 123K to 173K and the motor was retired as a core with no issues at all...I did run different tuning from other tuners and Midnight can get you a tune for 15psi if you need it.

I can certainly help you out here but I don't recommend you go past 12psi on the DA setup without water injection
contact me personally via email with more details of what you have in mind

Thanks for all the in depth information from both John and midnight-tuning I don't think that I would want to go past 12psi so I will be emailing you midnight-tuning with further details. Thanks again,

John is now my USA dealer in the US and shipping times have been cut in half for OBD2 software upgrades witch means your downtime is cut in half also for shipping your dme for a flash tune :)

website should be up soon and you will be able to order chips or software upgrades directly from the site

[DailyD]

I’m interested in the flash/tune. So if I understand correctly, the tune will add about 20 BHP as well as increase MPG. NICE! I'm in California. Will my car pass smog after the tune?

Cheers

I've been running the M44 midnight tune since June and I love it. It really woke the car up above 3000rpm and it pulls nice and hard up to 7000. I have had absolutely no issues with the tuned DME.

Sorry if you've already answered this somewhere, I meant how is the tune delivered. Do you have an handheld unit or a computer program or do I need to down my car and send you my DME? I have cables. What if you want to go back to stock? Is my stock tune backed up somewhere or you just keep a generic M44 stock tune around.

Any options for getting a wideband and logging to fine tune?

I have Mpps flash hardware witch is used with a laptop
You need to ship me your DME so I can bench flash it
it can always be flashed back to stock and I keep a stock 668 or 667 file on hand always

If Barrie approves. I have a test DME kit that can be sent to use while your DME is being flashed. You need to be USA based and the Test DME will be sent with stock code and include EWS and key so the car can be driven.

Barrie needs to approve and quote pricing

[Jean H.318TI]

Barries tune is the best, I used to have the dinan tune and let me tell u, from dinan to midnight tune was like going from stock to a race tune, lots of power all the way to redline (7300rpms now) its just awesome.

[98318ti]

Thanks for the offer John, but I would probably just wait for a holiday or something. I can get him to school, it's just a little inconvenient.

That is what I'm going for:wink: 50shot off the line and 20psi of boost. No lag when you shot the NOS off the line:biggrin: My ET's are lower then his with no NOS and I have a 2.4-2.6 60 foot time

[bmwconnect]

ya it's amazing what a little nos will do in to pick the car up off the line

[xxxJohnBoyxxx]

ya it's amazing what a little nos will do in to pick the car up off the line

So Barrie you got a NOS tune for me? At a 50 shot I don't think the timing needs to be changed so should I just use the 60# injector tune and go for it?

You know my car runs perfect with the currect tune but just asking:wink:

Thanks, John S

Thanks, John S

Depending where your AFRs are currently? I noticed a 50shot at 12.5afr brought the car down to 11.7-12ish at 1000psi of NOS pressure. I would say stick with the 60# and stick with the current timing

Just a question, as I am still thinking about pulling the trigger on this anyway: Do you know how the OBD-I chip would work with a Dinan TB as compared to a Stock TB? I presently have a Dinan Stage I chip and stock TB, but will be swapping the stock TB for the Dinan TB in the very near future. Would it require a tweak in the tune between the two TB's? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I liked last year's holiday special a little better... ($130 for OBD-I chip) :biggrin:

I just have exhaust, intake, turned ECU (Dinan), a 255 fuel pump if that matters haha. Um. That's about it. I plan on a 3.5 maf with larger injectors down the road. What's your price.

Got mine back Monday and hope to have it back in for some basic testing Sunday but real testing will have to wait for some other repairs to be completed.

Great service and turnaround and looking forward to playing my tune!

Just went this route with Barrie and John, great opportunity! So far haven't driven it much but I can attest that the short times I have she's pulling incredibly well. Have only revved it to about 7k and I have a 7400 rpm limit but she pulls hard all the way through! Got a chance to see what Johns car can do and all I have to say is I was left in awe after that drive, Barrie has done an excellent job with tuning and Johns car is breath taking.

Glad you are happy with Barrie's work. Also I'm glad you enjoyed driving the sleeper 318, that was low boost at 14psi, you should drive that car over 20psi without 3 people in it:wink:

Barrie,

Do you do a tune for a 667 on 96ti that would work with a Downey Atlanta Supercharger kit so that I would not need the rising rate fuel regulator for fuel control? I would want a 93 oct tune that would not need the kluge of the RRFR and maybe not tuned for every last horsepower but stable and safe.

Can you do that and how much?

Thanks,
Dave

Been driving the car a bit more, so far it was a big wake up for the car. Pulls very very strong till the 7400 rpm limiter. A plus side is that my mileage has increase about 3 to 4 mpg when cruising. Engine response has improved some in the lower range but where you really see the difference is after 3k rpms. Best money spent on the car.

Glad you enjoy it sir. I'm very passionate about tuning this motor as it was the first BMW motor I ever owned.

Just curious on getting a number of how many folks are interested in getting a NA flash done but can't afford the down time because of having to ship out the DME? If there is a considerable amount of people, I would be willing to make a flash tool that could be shipped to the comfort of your home.

let me know!

The down time is not a huge negative for me, as I have a secondary vehicle, but I'm always interested in things that combine comfort + home. :smile:

How would something like this work?

Not getting an NA as I have that but for reflashing to the supercharger flash and maybe any tweeks in the future I think being able to flash at home would be great.

If your located in Flordia you should drive up and see John for a flash - no down time :)

[projekt EPiK]

i thought on page 8 there were ads showing that you were selling as a chip now?

cant believe i havent checked out this thread before now. just picked up a used Dinan chip that is en route. :(

Doubtful that i will do anythiing else for this m42, but when the ti eventually gets my 1992 m50 i'll see what you can do. Currently that engine is in my drift car with a 413 red DME and TMS chip..but I can swap it out ;)

Good idea, for some reason I was thinking Gulfport, Mississippi and that is too much of a drive. Is it possible just to get the redline increase and nothing else?

I'm in Gulfport, FL. I live 4 minutes from the Skyway Bridge west coast middle Florida. Tampa Bay area. I can flash any of Barries codes for you if you come to my house.

Verrrry tempting, I'll start saving my pennies. I'm convinced that having to up-shift was the only reason Bimmerbum beat me at the autocross last weekend:biggrin:

I can do a redline increase and this is very common with autocross guy's - I wont charge you full price tune for something like this. Cheers

[GetOuttaMyWay]

Just got Barrie's chip in my m42. Awesome upgrade that really wakes the car up. No more flat spots in the torque curve and the car really pulls now. Partial throttle response seems a little quicker now too. Also no EWS issue. Definitely a good tune and a great value.

[maverick]

I have decided to go with a supercharger and have pretty much all I need gathered and waiting for cooler weather and time and energy on my part. Between the heat, my surgery, my familiy and work demands and the recent death of my sister my car has been on hold but I soon hope to have it going like mad with Barrie's help.

[RedTRex]

I just got my DME back from Barrie (M44 tune) and I echo the below comments. Well worth it!!!!

If you got a problem? Ever thought of taking it to PM or is your only goal to stir up the board :confused:

Hi John and Barrie,
I have owned my '99 318ti for a year. Just finished putting her back together. She was in tough shape. The car is totally stock. I am looking for more power but I am anxious about supercharging and turbo. My local shop can't help me. I am interested in the flash upgrade. I am wondering if you have / sell a spare DME? That I can keep in my possession permanently in case I want to return to original programming without shipping and waiting. Also, how much for the flash and does John do this now in FL vs Ship to Canada?

Yes we can help. I have a DME kit I will sell and Barrie will write the code for your car. Only issue is we need a dump of your ORI code to use as a template for the performance code to flash to the spare DME. I can explain things much better over PM or email or phone.

Thanks, John S

John,
A call works best for me. How can I reach you? My e-mail is: scottamarino@yahoo.com

This sounds interesting. I'm still working through my 97 and need to get it up to par before adding any power. I'll be in touch!
