I think we need to know more bout the flash limit. I have read that there really isn't one with EVOS, but then on the Mynes site, there is this quote.

" There is a limit to how many times the stock ECU can be reflash due to the chip manufacturer. Usually between 100 to 300 times. Above 100 times shortens the life on the internal flash."

Can anybody shed some light on this subject.

 

It's been covered. Search.

 

I have serched, I have read every post on ECUFlash.

In one thread, Cobly said he never flashed an ECU so much that it stopped working and feels that a regular guy wont flash enough to mess up the ECU.

But on the Mynes page, they have the quote from my first post, which basically says the limit is a 100 flashes. If its a 100 flashes, I can see that number being reached by someone who tunes their own car or has race map and valet map and changes between maps all the time.

Also, in one thread, Al said he flashes his own car 923 times, but still believe there is a 100 flash limit which the memory is gauranteed to be accurate.

So it has kinda been covered, but with no real answer.

So next time, if you dont know the answer, keep you damn mouth (or keyboard) shut.

Im sorry what more information do you need than somone who has flashed their own ecu over 900 times without failure and the programs designer stating that he has yet to reach a limit in which the ECU would not operate? The 100 flash "limit" is set by the manufacteur as the minimum guaranteed number of times the ECU will accept a flash. When you "flash" the ECU you are only rewriting the information that you have changed, you arent rewriting the entire ROM. If you're going to be so concerned with the ECU taking a crap after 100, 300, 600 flashes maybe you should take your car to someone who knows what they're doing so you dont come close to rewriting the same information that many times.

 

+1 for real answer

? Also i think i read in here that it was 100 Full Flashes, Al has over 900 but i don't think they count as Full ones ?

 

Read what I wrote. That is everything that has been covered in this forum. If that is not good enough for you, continue your research on openecu.

 

+1 i'd like to kno more bout the flash limit 2.

 

42... it is THE answer after all.

Note: I bought a spare ECU on Ebay for 50 bucks. Flash away!
