biki rom

[sideways360]

Could some one explain to me what a biki rom is and how it works.

It's a daughterboard you install on the stock ECU to turn it into a fully programmable system. It is unique for us because it has USB connection, making it easy to tune with a laptop, unlike Enthalpy and JWT tunes, which require them to re-tune when needed, which costs money.

My next purchase will be a BikiRom. It's the same cost as the SAFC2 with complete fuel and timing map capabilities.

be warned the program to run bikirom is a very large file and you have to dl/buy some microsoft program for it to work. I tried torrent the MS program +crack to see what bikirom was about and it was a fail. Retail the MS program is $300 biki is 200-250.

no offense but dont listen to this guy he has no clue as to what he is talking about.

the bikirom software will work on windows 2000 and up operating systems and all they need is the microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 which is a free download from microsoft.

here is Microsoft link for it which is free

(btw the .NET framework is only free if you have a legit copy of windows. Microsoft requires that you go through this P/N verification crap before you can get the .NET stuff working. For some of us with *cough* less than honest copies of Windows, this could pose a problem.)

Doesn't Bikirom allow you tune the engine in real time, such as changeing the fuel map while the car is running?

[mirra32]

so its +-250 bucks...thats it.....

Yes. Any reputable standalone system does this. It's so you can use the "solid state" function on a Mustang dyno to pitch the system into every load cell in the maps for correct, precise tuning. This is why I prefer Mustang dynos over DynoJet, which can't do constant load, closed loop tuning.

I suggest no one try it while driving down the road.

Yes, for the piece itself. However, some dyno time and an adequate knowledge of how to operate and tune the system is required. It's not something that's considered plug and play.

Bikirom does not currently do real-time adjustments. There is real-time consult data and logging, but in order to change the map, you must make your changes, save the file, turn the car off, upload, and turn it back on. For the price difference between the bikirom and a standalone, it's a small sacrifice.

Map-trace is the best feature of the bikirom IMO... VERY helpful in tuning the entire map.

Another questioni have heard the DSM LINK which i think is the same that biki rom but for mitsubishi eclipse, but when you disconect the batery you loose your tuning. Is that true on the bikirom or you do not loose it.

[BillKlineVT]

no you do not lose your tunes when you disconnect the battery. I highly doubt you do with DSM-Link either.

[new_to_drift]

where can we purchase the biki rom?

[Chezedik]

from bikirom.com, but the ordering is down right now. I was thinking of buying one, but I think they are having a problem with the V2 boards. Take what I say with a grain of salt and verify with them.
