Midnight Tuning Solutions OBD1 DIY BMW Live Tuning Kit

Oregon has gone to the straight plug in test via the OBDII port, they do a quick visual under the car and a smoke test.

Luckily I have a 95... Mwahahahaha

Thanks, John S

I'm not even sure what that means.. The ostrich is a great little piece of equipment. Moates in general is great equipment for car related chip tuning, much better than other generic chip burners and emulators, and their shipping to Florida takes like two days.

Barrie, I would suggest that you should offer to burn a final tune for customers for a set cost. This way if they get a tune that they really like with the ostrich they can always opt to remove that from the car and just use a burnt chip. Although, I'm not sure how that affects the encryption you are doing.

Hell it is a OBD-I emulator anyways. Also you bang Midnight for what hardware it is (no secrete) then come all nice on this post above.

I don't understand why you want to crap on a product when all people are trying to do is advance the DIY tuning of our 318's.

Again state your purpose and which tuner is all upset about this product?

Reguards, John S

Seems like you have issues with me that I'm not aware of. I think you need to go back and re-read the thread. I know this is an OBDI product. What I said would probably fail US emissions is putting a red label 413 DME into an OBDII car to convert it to OBDI. That really isn't what Barrie is selling here is it?

What does who may or may not be tuning my car have to do with anything?

In case there is any question, this was my only comment about the product Barrie posted-

Isn't that just a Moates Ostrich 2 with a generic cover on it?

How is that derogatory or negative in any way? If anything, people knowing that it is an ostrich is a good thing, as they are tried/tested, and there is tons of information about them on the internet. Moates products rock, I bought a burn1 after my issues with the crappy PCB burner.

Drama, drama, drama.. maybe that is why I never responded to you.. You keep having fun with that...

Steve and other mods, maybe somebody needs to remind John how we treat other members around here.

not that I want to get involved or add to the arguement, this is what I saw:

Many shops will not even do the sniffer test if they can't get the OBDII system to read ready.

Marv mentioned there being nothing for OBDII cars, Barrie suggested an OBDI conversion, and Mohaughn pointed out that an OBDI conversion is illegal in states that test emissions. To be honest I don't see anything in his posts bashing Barries product

[Marv17]

I guess i could go with the red label 413 DME with the OBD-I harness... but it'd have to do it after i do smog emissions in the future.

sry, if i started an argument.

Maybe, in the future there can be a skype verison for you to tune the ECU without having to ship it out. So that way you have real time tunning or something. Just an idea. I'm not aware what is or what is not possible to do tuning.

No mods needed, all cleaned up as promissed.

mohaughn we spoke on the phone when you when you were having tuning issues and I offered to drive over plus send you a burning/reader, no drama when you needed my help. There are issues that have nothing to do with this thread. I guess we will never talk about it. Meh

man im so happy i just found a local shop that sells ostrich 2.0 for 175.00 and and will do a tune for 200 bucks ./www.dynospotracing.com/parts.html

Yes that is the unit, but it is useless without my encrypted XDF file

Emulator = $175
.XDF(exposes the maps) = $174

good luck!

1. It doesn't come with Tuner pro, you download it from a separate site

2. You still need my .XDF to run tuner pro on your BMW

Without my .XDF file that tells the tunerpro software where the maps are, you are dead in the water

my .XDF for the Bosch 282 DME is ready to go = $174.99

If you buy as a kit you pay 349.99cn

If you buy the ostrich on your own its 174.99cn for my .XDF file

Thats to start, if your going to dabble in tuning your engine youll need a good wideband, to monitor the engine as well as(If it were me) a pyrometer in the exhaust at each collector on the header. A cylinder head temp and oil temp gauge would not hurt either...

+1 wide-band is a absolute for any setup witch requires changes in fuel delivery
