Miller -  'WAR' User Programable ECU Chip & Performance Software

Now YOU have the power to tune your own original BMW ECU!

Special software, hardware, and experience beyond the reach of most home users (and even Dyno shops that don't specialize in BMWs) has always been required to tune the OBDI ECUs of BMWs. Chip emulating and burning have been the de facto way of tuning BMWs and work great... but what if you don't live close to one of the only handful of facilities setup to tune a BMW ECU?

Now there is a solution... and one that is comprehensive and cost effective at that!
The WAR Chip, developed by Miller Performance.

Each War Chip is basically a BMW "dyno tuning shop" in a box:
Included is your "WAR" (write-and-remap) reprogrammable chip, a USB interface cable- compatible with any Windows PC (or Mac running windows software), and your Tune Control Module (more on this later).
The rest is simple; download instructions and a base map from the Miller Performance site and your ready to fine tune your BMW for all the goodies you have installed to or inside your engine.

The 'Tune Control Module' feature allows you to upload up to 4 different  ECU maps into the WAR Chip, and select them from a switch you can install within reach of the drivers seat. Different maps for different fuels and conditions are finally available on your factory ECU.

A bonus only available at VAC, have your WAR Chip loaded with VAC Performance software so your car is nearly ready to go as soon as you take it out of the box! Call or email today with any questions.

    More Details

    Some of the top reasons to love the W.A.R. Chip:

  • Works on nearly all 86-95 BMWs
  • The last chip you will EVER buy
  • No more "one size fits all" software
  • Store & used up to 4 different tunes on one W.A.R. Chip
  • No need for standalone engine management or piggy back computers
  • Ideal for cars with cams, turbo chargers, or other serious upgrades
  • Share tunes with other W.A.R. Members!
     

    The W.A.R. Chip is simply one of the most versatile performance device that can evolve with your car as it changes over time.
    No longer will you be stuck with generic off the shelf software, you'll have the power to customize your tune to suit YOUR specific vehicle. The W.A.R. Chip is more than just a performance chip: It is a revolution in performance for your early model BMW car.

    Want to hear more? Lets go in depth about the WAR chip...

    1. It really is the last chip you need!

    The W.A.R. Chip can change as your car changes. No longer are you stuck with a tune that isn't meant for you specific application. Instead of buying a suitable performance chip every time you update the configuration of your car infinitely, you can modify the tune yourself with the W.A.R. Chip editing software or download a specific tune from Miller, VAC, or another even another WAR chip user! The W.A.R. Chip gives you flexibility that is impossible with traditional chips. Add a camshaft or a VAC Cylinder head: no problem! Simply map your new modifications on the WAR software and now your ECU is dialed in to get improved performance and reliability you paid for. Turbocharged? Fit larger injectors and program for boost! The possibilities are great.

    2. Say good-bye to generic software.

    With the W.A.R. Chip being infinitely reprogrammable, you can perfect the tune of your engine and make the most power possible from the OE ECU. Generic software works, but it is designed for a wide range of cars. Let’s face it: these older cars vary in condition and some naturally perform better than others due to age, wear, and various upgrades.
    Generic tunes have to be safe for all consumers and that means that you are highly likely to have more hidden horsepower! The W.A.R. Chip editing software allows you to fine tune a supplied performance tune or base map. Just like generic tunes; our tunes are intended to be a safe option for everyone- add the WAR editing software and you can massage our proven base tune(s) to tailor fit your engine and configuration! With the W.A.R. Chip, as you change your car you can change your tune which allows you to get the most bang-for-your-buck out of every single performance part you use. This also means improved reliability, and drivability for your BMW.

    3. It's 4 chips, in one!

    The W.A.R. Chip stores up to 4 different Tunes at one time. Many people love the idea of having different tunes available for different situations. For example, one might track their car on the weekends, and drive it daily during the week. With the W.A.R. Chip you can have different tunes saved, and ready to use.
    Storing an aggressive ‘race tune’ for use with high octane race fuel , a ‘street performance’ tune for pump fuel and daily use, or even a ‘best fuel economy’ tune… just for some examples. There are many combinations you can create! Low octane, Aggressive street, Valet the list goes on.
    How do you switch the tunes? EASY! With the included in-cockpit Tune Command Module (TCM) you can switch between the 4 tunes in real time without a laptop, and without having to shut the car off. Very cool.

    4. No need for aftermarket engine management.

    The W.A.R. Chip provides control and flexibility once designated to aftermarket stand alone ECU's only. Many people convert to stand alone systems or use piggy backs for the lack of control they have with their factory ECU. Others have custom chips “burnt” after dyno runs from tuners like us at VAC. The best news of all is that the W.A.R. Chip puts that control and flexibility in the palm of your hand so you can quickly and easily switch tunes, and reprogram your ECU to meet your needs whenever necessary.
    With the W.A.R. Chip, you have full control over fuel and spark for all driving conditions, idle, part throttle and wide open throttle. You can set your idle speeds, rev limits, O2 sensor control and so much more. The W.A.R. Chip lets you use your stock ECU, saving you time and money; the instances where a standalone ECU is a must have are now greatly reduced to only a few situations.

    5. Cheaper than ever to tune your ECU!

    Yes, if you need a startup base map, or standard performance tune you are only an Email away. For $60, Miller or VAC can furnish you with a startup map so you can start driving or tuning your WAR chip as soon as you install it. All maps have been created on Millers Mustang Dyno, or VAC's Dynopack Dyno and real world tested on running and driving vehicles. Starting with a base map also saves you time and money on the Dyno!
    Customers are free, and encouraged to upload their modified tunes to the net to help expand the usefulness of the WAR chip for others. The future of ECU tuning is all about community and working together.

Available for nearly all OBD 1 BMW applications.

Currently NOT available for E30 318is M42 & E34 M5 (both in development)

    -Miller WAR Chip Windows software is downloaded from their website so you always have the newest, and most stable version.
    Once your war chip is plugged into a Windows computer and your BMWs ECU, interaction with the War chip is simple, much like a flash drive.

    On several applications, Installation software is located on the WAR Chip itself, if no internet access is present.
    To load tunes on the War chip, you will email Miller Performance for the unlock code, and simply drag and drop like a flash drive to the intended folder and your started! Full instructions are included.
