Ok as some of you know, my C400 was down at Dinan Motors getting a chip, here are the results...

So, you picked up about 41 horsepower?

That's a great value!

Waynezworld

Yup, that's correct. It's noticeable. Of course with the extra power the car's suspension & brakes could use a upgrade

Christ, when will Dinan release it?

Is it blue tooth controlled?

B2FiNiTY

wow, very impressive.

What gas did you use (91 or 93), was the car set to S+ and was the Dinan chip set to race?

Also, can you drive around in the race setting daily? Is it safe or will the sport plus be enough?

Thanks!

DinanCars

All testing is done with 93 as that is what the majority of the country has access to for premium fuel.

The 3 lines show the Dinan unit in Stock (green line), Sport+ (blue line), and Race (red line). I would imagine the car was in S+ but the calibrator is not here to confirm today.

We recommend the Race setting only be run when using 93 octane fuel but there are plenty of folks that use it with 91 and report no ill effects.

Please sell this chip ASAP!

Whose butt must I kiss on Main Street?

DinanCars

It'll be a relatively quick turn. Doing some verification on a C43 first though to cover all our bases.

What kind of cost?

subzero05

wow very cool!

DinanCars

Most forums have an issue with price discussion in the general forum. Not sure how this one handles it so I wil err on the side of caution. The SPORT units though are all the same cost. I don't see this one being any different. Link to the 2.0T variant is here.

Bluetooth?

DinanCars

Yes. Bluetooth controlled via smartphone app to change into the various modes or to use the boost monitor.

This has got to be the near ideal solution for many: cost effective and conservative, but powerful enough and flexible! Nice work, Dinan.

MASSC450

Group buy possibly?

removedCFGaccount

Dinan, how about a preorder?

DinanCars

Doesn't even have a part number in the system yet. If I had to guess assuming the C43 stuff goes fine it will be available for sale Mid-March.

Directly from Dinan, no. If one of the Dinan dealers, distributors, etc wants to put something together through them then more power to them.

removedCFGaccount

Set up the system for preorder!

Screw the group, I've got dough waiting.

subzero05

thought Auto Talent here was putting something together, no?

removedCFGaccount

He better be Johnny at the rathole!

Is your C400 bone stock other than the chip? Thanks...

tmoneyC450amg

I assume this will fly on the C450 as well?

DinanCars

Yes it would.

Waynezworld

yup, bone stock
