    M52B28 tune

    Hi!

    I have an M52B28 with M50 intake manifold and aftermarket headers. Currently running a tune for ethanol and bigger injectors.

    I'm planing on buying S52 cams. I dont know what tune to get, i still have my stock injectors left.

    Any tips? I rather not buy an encrypted tune. I own an wideband lambda and want to be able to adjust some if needed

    All tunes will be encrypted.
    Your best bet is romraider.

    Not sure how you have enough injector for ethanol tho.

    If you have a wideband and a desire to learn and build a good tune... RomRaider. I have yet to see an E36 encrypted tune from many of the pros... Just because they are pro tunes doesn't mean that it's helpful in your specific situation.

    Get in touch with fekzen.se, just at stockholm... I've worked with him, hes good for this kinda stuff, specially if you want it done remotely. also you may need software like Testo and of course maybe a writer software that can write to your ecu if doing remotely or maybe best bet put it on the dyno and have him do it, you can always have it adjusted later on if you add more power. haggle the price ofcourse.

    I'm running e85 right now on a totally stock M52b28 other than for a decatted exhaust, and I have more than enough injector. RomRaider.

    I did my tuning at the drag strip. Pretty nice gains.

    I'm looking into the larger intake manifold right now (already using custom headers). Do you have dyno values for your current build? I'd be interested in the power/torque output.
