    Im in the process of putting an s2000 into an e30 at the minute...

    I was thinking of putting unichip or something like it in to increase performance...

    Can you tell me what you would recommend an the price an power gains(y)

    Thanks

    S2000 engine is really highly strung in NA form from factory. We tried tuning Phils ones with 4 branch, full system, intake and unichip and from memory I think it only made 246 bhp after all that. And we werent using cheap parts either. It did sound fantastic afterwards tho. The only real gains we have seen out of these have been from supercharging them.

    We can also use Hondata in them but it works out extremely expensive as alot I the sensors need converted to K20 sensors.

    Ok thanks...previous owner said to leave it standard or else just supercharge it...He messed about with throttle bodys etc an the engine ended up blowing...

    I still want reliability.. Hit me a price for the supercharger kit anyhow, even better if you could get a 2nd hand one

    Thanks for your honesty about the unichip alot of others wouldv seen the pound signs an sold anyhow

    Hi johnny i can get an aem ems series 2 ecu for 850 can you map this to this car, there is the standard cone filter on it an a de-cat with straight through exhanust apart from 1 back box.....
    How much would you charge to map it an what gains do you think i would see, would i see much more low down power too?
    Thanks Tony
