So from what I have read, the DynoFlash flattens out the powerband, keeps boost at 20psi for longer, reduces boost taper, and changes the ignition timing to be in tune with the type of gas you will be running.

Questions:
1. Is there anything I left out?
2. I plan on adding an Intake (probably HKS Suction) should I get the intake on, THEN flash, or can I get flashed and then add the intake?
3. With the flash do you get any noticeable gas mileage gains?
4. Is the car any less 'daily driveable' ?
5. Since my Evo is my daily driver, I was thinking about getting a boost controller and keeping it at a lower setting (10-12psi) to give me better mileage during the day, and then open it up when I go play. Will this work with the DynoFlash? (Hell, does it work at all?)
6. This one is for Al, If I overnight it on a friday, could I get it back by sunday? (I'd like to avoid riding the bus to work for 2 days)

thanks for you help

The gas mileage is a bit better but not by much because as soon as you get the flash and the boost goes up all you want to do is nail the throttle all day. So forget about the gas mileage.

Add the intake before you get the flash. You will want to have everything all set so all you have to do is plug the ecu back in and go.

Al is the man, he for sure has a great product.

It sounds like you will be riding the bus, Fed-ex and ups dont like working on weekends.

Have fun, and good luck.

 

Sorry, I forgot this.
The car runs and acts just like normal. You or anyone else will not know any different.That is until you step on the gas.

Get the newflash that Al has, you can have him set the boost at 20ibs already,save the $$$$$$ on the boost controller. Trust me, you wont be turning the bosst down ever, you will want to only turn it up. Its addicting as hell.

 

My drive to work every day is 2-miles each way. And the farthest I drive during th week is around 7 miles while doing things around town.

I'm not really concerned about mileage, its just that the more I save during the week, the more I can burn on the weekends. (Not to mention saved money means more mods)

And thanks for your answers.

 

I would say buy the intake and when you ecu is with Al, install the intake.

 

2. DEFINATLY before, the intake messes up the maf readings
3. yes I got gains, went from 230-265
4. not at all
5. i've tryed this and it doesnt really work, just better to get a boost gauge and watch it to make sure your not boosting over like 10psi. B/c i think if you lower the boost setting you'll still be putting the same amount of fuel in just less air, where as if you just watched the boost gauge yoru self and trained your self to not floor it you'll get better gas mileage. Also what happens if you have to speed up real quick so someone doesnt hit you, almost happened to me so i stoped this.

 

No need to keep it at 10-12 psi. Just stay off boost,drive in closed loop and get great gas mileage. When it is time to play the power will be there when you need it. Easier said then done but a lil restraint is a good thing.OUT!

 

I kind of agree with IE - if gas mileage is a conceren - honestly the evo is not the car - its a costly car to run. The closed loop operation is a steady 14.6 / 1 a/f which is great for ecomomy. The problem arises when you step on the loud pedal and build boost - thats when it begins to flush gas. Our flash leans ot the factory super rich a/f's up top - but we make more power and suck in more air which in turn burns more fuel - even at the leaner a/f point. Basically - going fast takes fuel.

 

Dude,

Just 8 days till I'm custom dynoflashed baby, I can't wait. i know that you are a fan of the MBC but I had a brand spanking new Profec B laying around so I went ahead and had it installed. Pretty stealthy its in the glove box. Don't think I'll need it though since the new Dynoflash controls boost. Maybe after I get cams and alchy.

 

Nothing wrong with a EBC - much better than factory boost control. The ecu controlled set up is just for those who seek stealh stock like low key power

 

yeah I had a EBC and Finally listened to al and got a MBC and it holds boost much better and its a lot easier to work with and also a hell lot lower priced. Should have taken his advice the first time; Actually had the profec B. It was a nightmare! AL can vouch for that one...

 

So far so good. I set it at 18 psi and it holds till red line. The guys at RRE were like dude, exactly what kind of Greddy is it cus we have had problems with everything but the original Greddy Profec B. mine was seriously 2 1/2 yrs old at least but had never been opened or used. So far it works like a charm. Leaning over to adjust the boost isn't all the convenient though, but I just want to set it and forget it.

 

wow, mine was a nightmare like i said! It was eather full boost or no boost, set at 21psi never stayed, felt like i was playing with it all the time to get it to get the best results. After a few months I go so pissed and just sold the thing to a DSM owner, which it worked fine on. I couldnt stand that thing, AL hated it, Pruven hated it, I hated it. The guys at pruven played with it for a while trying to get it to work correctly and hold boost, AL played with it, just didnt work for me. definatly was not set and forget.

Well thats good yours is working fine, if you start to get problems remember me j/k. Good luck with your tune! I'm going for mine tomorow at 1:00pm.

 

Mileage isn't a concern, I didn't buy the car for fuel economy, I bought it for fun.
Conserving a little during the week will let me have more fun on the weekends.
