: I am about to order the Conforti chips also, but I am going to hold off until we hear back from you on your experience, so PLEASE post your impressions after adding the chips this weekend.
: Jim Surdick
: '92 Laguna Green 850i 6spd
: BMWCCA#148638
: : I ordered them last Friday and received them this Monday. The process was seamless. Of course it could be because its a 6spd and not a CSi(?). I can't wait to get them in the car, but will only have the chance this weekend.
: : By the way, the Conforti CSi chips are apparently only good for 4-5ft/lbs of torque over stock chips on the CSi (vs. 36ft/lbs on the 850). Not much gain for the CSi due to the factory tuned nature of the M-works engine. I think it was Sean and Steve C. who posted the Dyno figures a few months back.
I purchased them from Eurosport, but only because at the time I made the call their time zone was more convenient. $399.00 for the pair of chips for the Csi.
Within 60 minutes of posting this I am heading down to a Dyno shop to do some base lining. I am going to do a run with the stock chips, then the Dinan chips. Once my Conforti chips arrive I am going to return to the shop for a third time.
Once all of that is done, I am going to install my new intakes & run all three chips again (assuming no one purchases my Dinan chips). Then I will install the exhaust and repeat (having both the intake and exhaust manifolds on at the same time).
The racing shop I am going to is then going to attempt to create a custom set of chips for me that will beat the best of the three (I am assuming that it will be my shop against Conforti). I will post results as available.
Jim, aren’t you the guy who lives relatively close to me??
