Interest in DIY chip tuning?
#17
I am also interested. This car is a lot different than the ones I have messed with before so it would be nice to have an easier way of getting into it. Will you also put something out on what needs to be done to convert to MAF. I've never had a car without MAF so I've never had to deal with it before. Thanks a lot.

That will definitely get me started, and hopefully if you make this open source we can all add to it. We did this with the Audi Navi Unit. I have also helped in some other projects, but those weren't auto related. Maybe if this takes off we can set up a little site or a separate section on the Renn. Looking forward to the info.

I'm actually reading through your build-up and I think I just found something that I can do all winter. I love having a car that doesn't have to run. So much better than hoping I don't destroy my DD. I am not sure how many pages are in that thread, but I am only on page 3 and still in 06.
EDIT: No point in adding another post when I am just talking to myself at this point in the night... I guess that thread wasn't as long as I thought it would be. It ended almost a year ago. Definitely some good reading on that site as a whole.

How is this alike or different from what Russell Berry was doing with Maxtune? Looks very similar.

I have been using his setup recently, and it (or something similar) seems like a great way to go. Definitely interested.

Olli, I am not sure I understand what you are asking...? For proper MAF conversion, the DME code needs to be changed.
The Ostrich is ~$180, and for 24pin cars, a necessary socket booster is ~$40.
If you have a burner, you can burn as many chips as you like.
I have looked at the 968 .bin, but currently have focused on the 944. I plan on including the 968 in the future.

The software isn't quite as pretty as the aftermarket offerings, but it gives me a lot of freedom to work with.
