Hi all
first of all, am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this thread, so please move it to where ever you see it right Moderator

well, am new to chip tuning and like to be involved with it, am not new in tuning, I worked with many aftermarket ECUs and just like to expand my scope with the chip tuning as I always heard of it and made me interested, I got and downloaded the TunerPro and liked what it can do, specially the RT and live tuning, and hope to get support from you guys here, well am a computer programmer but not EE, not perfect with electronics, but good with soldering and packing the small things together and LEARNING NEW THINGS

so I want to start with it a soon as I can, but want to know what are the exact hardware's that needed to be ready to get started, so do i need anything other than the Ostrich2 ?

** Am sorry to be newbie with this stuff as am looking for your guidance and help guys

exact hardware will depend on what exactly you want to tune. the ostrich is a good start though.

True, sorry forgot to mention that I mostly work with BMW that got 402 Red label ECU and 405 Green label ECU, so would the ostrich2 be enough?

<---- GM "expert", no idea about BMW ECUs....

i have helped convert a BWM to run on a GM ECU though...

that is sweet, BMW with GM ECU, seems to be a nice idea, any links to see it?

not that i know of....

but it wouldn't be that bad to accomplish.... i have wiring diagrams for 82-08 BMWs and 82-02 GM cars, so it would largely consist of matching wires and ensuring that the sensors are compatible with the GM ECM...
