Anybody have any experience with, or opinions about, a BSR (http://en.bsr.se/products/) ECU? I found a local guy selling one.
Thanks

BSR Tunes are great... Where are you located and who is the local guy?

Anyone on here with a 98 70 series have a BSR tune?

I just called a US Dealer of these... for $500 for a Stage 1 or Stage 2 ECU upgrade for 97 850R

That includes shipping and insurance to Sweden for them to flash the ECU

Not too bad IMO.

Stage 3 would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I love it.

FCP Groton might be able to get these now.  If interested you should contact them to find out.

I just want to go out and say they are not worth it the ST 17psi chip is an absolute equal to the BSR Stage 3.

Well, it runs about the same as a ST tune if you want to call that pig rich however that is the wrong assumption.

Oh yeah? You run both in your vehicle?

I did. Started off with the ST 17PSI tune, which essentially killed many pieces of my car.

After replacing most, I sold the ST tune, and bought the BSR, and it is superior, in my opinion, to SpeedTuning.


Seriously, SpeedTuning made my car run so rich at one point, it was blowing crazy smoke. I did not enjoy that.

Id say that other parts of your car are to blame. Ive run Speedtuning for years with superb results. I'm running a 17psi flash right now and using Civinco to fine tune to my mods, never had black smoke or any sort of problem.

I'll admit that some of the problems were from the high miles. Fuel pump going, trans going, among other little things here and there. The smoke was intense, and still do not know what exactly caused it. It may not have been SpeedTuning, but after all of the smoke cleared, the car had a crazy misfire, and was all carboned up. Oh well, I suppose to each his own.

Ran both on the dyno.

ST made more WHP, BSR made more TQ it was within about 5 at the wheels in both cases.

AFR of both where comparible with slight differences throughout the curve.

ST made the most out of all the tunes we had on hand that day...

Also, we picked up 5whp from removing the powersteering


Then the car caught on fire... but I am sure that story is on here somewhere...

i've always run iPd stage I and NEVER had any problems. always passed emissions well below the standards, never misfires or smoking or anything. picked it up used on ebay for $300. keep your eye out for one and you wont be disappointed!
