Official "I got DynoFlashed!" Thread
so are most of you guys are doing the mail-In flash?
cause doing on the on the dyno would give you the most benefits.
i think that this dynoflash is one of the coolest mods just because its using the stock ecu. i want to get it soon after i get my stage 1 setup complete. and then go for stage 2 and send for a nice reflash...im looking for 300whp. the dynoflashed stock ecu can control that nicely.

Unfortunately, I agree that the K&N drop-in will probably do nothing (that I can feel). But I got it for $40 (used) on ebay.
I'm hoping it might add a little more induction noise (which is already pretty awesome, even on a stock EVO)
Thanks for your comments.

Everyone who drove my Z after driving my sister-in-law's '94 Corvette was amazed by the sheer grunt the Z displayed vs her '94 Corvette.However, after the reflash the Evo doesn't feel as tempermental and herky-jerky pulling away from stoplights as it did before the reflash, definitely easier to launch in everyday situations. I have to mention that I really haven't "gotten on" it yet, I seem to be having a problem zeroing out my S-AFCII.

I am a little disapointed with the top end pull of my stock EVO and am hoping the Dynoflash will correct this problem.
I am pretty interested to see what your outcome is.

It seems that we have a few former Z owners here. Maybe we should start our own site: Zevo, 300Z8, Evolution 300...

As for the SAFC2, I too had no luck matching the revs of the SAFC to the car. I also could not get any discernible gains from the SAFC, of course, this might be because of my knock sensor induced timing pull. My solution was to go with the custom tuned Dynoflash. I would like to see what the end result was of the last 2 mods... I guess I'll have to wait 'til I get back to the dragstrip.....
Is S-AFC II needed with Dynoflash?
Hi Al.
I have a couple questions that I hope you can answer for me. I'd appreciate input from others as well but please, no Al bashing! I may be a newbie but I can see extreme jealousy in some of the posts on this site and based on the high amount of positive feedback for Dynoflash, I think it's highly unlikely that this product is without merit.
OK, here's my situation. I'm looking for some performance gains on my EVO (currently stock) and I'd like to install up to Buschur stage 2 in the following form: 3" downpipe, HF cat, magnaflow muffler in the 3" catback, MAP, Upper IC pipe, air filter kit, S-AFC II, and Dynoflash. My question, is the S-AFC still needed for these mods or can you account for the A/F ratios with the flashed ECU? This will remain my everyday driver (I put around 35K a year on my cars) so idling and gas mileage remain important. I believe those won't be a problem but I'd like your imput as well if any. Obviously, pump gas (93) is the norm and I'm in MN so cold starts can be an issue as well.
And of course, the following question needs to be asked:
So Al, what's my exact HP going to be with your Dynoflash with or without the S-AFC?
Just kidding around. Based on Buschur's Dyno numbers at Stage 2 he gets around 340 whp, would you expect similar results with the Dynoflash excluding the S-AFC? Thanks and I hope this helps others as well.

We don;t touch idle or cruise - it all remains as stock - we only tune full load conditions
Our numbers are similar to Buschur's with much more trq down low due to increased timing control - however we use a awd dyno jet for our numbers - about 310 to the wheels and 320 ft lbs on the Stage two

Thanks for the info. That's some impressive torque! I don't suppose you have a dyno sheet on that laying around somewhere? I'll probably be running my Evo on a two wheel dynojet up here in MN since supposedly noone's investing in a fourwheel yet. Any chance of you making it to MN in the near future (ok, maybe this spring when the snow isn't so deep)? I'll bet some of the other Evo owners around here would love to have a dyno day! A full custom dyno tune sounds like the way to go if I want maximum performance.

hey Al I am new in atlanta, GA. Just met a bunch of guys that have your dynoflash and they all love it. I have a K&N drop in filter and have a HKS Hi-Power cat-back coming in this week. If i do the mail in what kind of gain could I expect, running 93 oct.? thanks

I had mine done this past weekend at Pruven's dyno. My car is totally stock except for suspension and 18 inch wheels. After it was all said and done, I ended up with 258hp to the wheels. The true test was to go up against my friend's STi. He has a magnaflow muffler. I had a 200 pound dude in my car and I was neck and neck with the STi. Not bad. Al was mad cool and kept me up to date with all of the runs with dyno sheets. They need an exhaust vent because after 20 min of watching my car on the dyno, I was about to puke. Good work. The car is fast, quiet, doesn't smell and pollute. (I'm environmentally concious) I am very pleased.
How will the reflash change gas mileage? Would the car pass California smog after reflash? I have RMR hard pipe kit, down pipe and cat back exhaust. Burshur air cleaner but I was thinking about going to the new RMR.

Flashed!!!
I installed my DynoFlashed ECU 3 days ago and all I can say is… WOW!!!! 
Unfortunately, it's been cold with lots of snow here for the last few days (which is very unusual for the Pacific NW), so I have not had a chance to really put the car through the paces yet. However, just from the driving I have done, I can already tell there is definite improvement. Thanks Al, I’m glad I did this.
I am curios… is there anyone out there with the same or very similar mods to mine that actually knows what kind of HP they are putting down to the wheels and/or crank? If not, any educated (ballpark) guesses on what I putting down?
Here’s a list of my mods that would matter:
Perrin cat-delete pipe & cat-back exhaust system.
HKS SSQV BOV
Turbonetics MBC running 20psi
DynoFlash (Mail in tune for 92 Octane)
TIA,
Jason
