    haha.. its around $3,800 but all the shit it gives u ur going to spend close to that anyway. a good chip "stack" is around $1k plus a data logger $1-2k so its right in the ball park. bosch introduced a limited stand alone late last year and was $9k! yea, needless to say only the "big guys" have purchased it and said u need to be a scientist to run it.

    Not outa line at all when you look at true standalone systems with datalog output and expandable gauge direct hookup. If your vehicle is'nt a GM product (free online cals) $4000 for plug and play looks tempting compared to desoldering OE computers, soldering in chip sockets and swapping countless reburns until you find one that is just "ok".

    So is the tuning of Diesels that complex, that someone has not made something like this before? And its so expensive?

    Or has there just not been the demand?

    Its electronics (Cummins) platform doesnt lend well to remapping, this is a complete ECM replacement right down to elaborate injector drivers and enough programing to run a dozen of our gas powerd cars.

    When I reprogram Cummins' or simply update them I can literaly go to lunch while the process grabs info, sends it off and downloads it. This would apear to be an instant update.

    The inline 6 by design is superior, if they did there homework you will probably see yuppies sending driveshafts across traffic lanes at freeway speed

    for the equilivilant efi live dmax program its around 2k. thats for the unlimited tuning program.. that $500 at hd gets u there tune, but nothing else. u dont own the program and no data logger. so everytime u change something u gota pay another 500 for a retune by them.

    Man the diesel guys get raped hard. IMO $3700 seems like A LOT for a standalone. P-N-P or not.

    But hey it sounds like it is the first of its kind so they can charge almost anything they want. I'm sure eventually it will get cheaper.

    too bad more diesel guys aren't smarter to just buy gm's from the get go. lol

    I VERY aware of the ecu offerings out there.

    Have you ever looked at the price of the AEM EMS? De facto standard in the import world and I don't think there is a single PNP ECU that is more than $2000.

    IIRC even the fairly high priced BS3 is still under $2500 IIRC for the GM LSx PNP versions.

    $3700 is a lot of money for a PNP ECU. Like I said if they are the only option in the marketplace then they can get away with charging it. But that will only work until their competitors realize there is TONS of margin and they can make a equivalent/similar product for less money.

    You know, i have a pretty good amount of experience with both EFI and HP tuners and I have to say that im not a fan of EFI. HP tuners just has such a better layout and is much more user friendly. EFI is pushed very heavily in the diesel community though, unsure why. Seems to be a far inferior product in my eyes. If you ever have a chance to us HP you may never pick up that EFI handheld again!

    incase you did not know. Murray (whatadsm) can make this box if he likes. He told fast how to fix there XIM. He is BY FAR the smartest guy on BCM when it comes to this stuff. ITs his JOB.

    Need Traction contol he can make it
    Need NOS control he can make it
    Need coil on plug for a engine he can make it
    He is the man
