My current mods are a

- Greddy Spec M intercooler
- 3" Turbo back Exhaust
- EBC
- Walbro 255 Fuel pump

The cars in getting a full service including a boost leak test in order to prepare for the flash...

My main question here is should i wait to get an o2 housing or go ahead with the flash?

i was told that i would get 355hp at the flywheel with what ive just got so if i were to wait for the o2 housing what would it be?....

 

I forgot to mention i also have a K&N drop in filter

cheers

 

Unfortunately gains aren't always a cumulative value..

One item making 15 more hp, and another item making 15 more hp, may not result in a net gain of 30hp, depending on the combination and tune, it can be 20hp or 50hp...

With that said, adding the O2 housing is likely good for about 15whp alone, but tune and other restrictions (or lack of) can affect it differently, along with your tune.

The easy answer is, your not going to get a straight answer, only a rough guess, and even that will depend heavily on your tuner, and condition of your car and how well the mods were installed (leaks, or other mistakes in install)

 

Oh, and adding the o2 housing later won't affect the tune much, so you can tune now and wait to get it, or do it now.. whichever is more convenient for you.

 

Now that i have decided to wait for my O2 housing and headers before the flash will the new fuel pump damage my car in any way?
Thats the walbro 255...

 

Nah, it'll run a bit richer at WOT, and your fuel trims might be slightly off, but it won't hurt anything..

 

Thank's Malibu

 

I was talking to this guy who deals with the flashes and he says it will cost me 1060$ to flash the car thats 4000 dhs in Dubai Currency 1$=3.75 dhs.

Anyways 800dhs is for renting the dyno and the rest is the tune and buyin the program number ???? once its put in it's there??? re-flash is cheaper after the initial one wtf?

Some clarifying would be nice.

 

what are you getting ecutek flash?

 

yes thats the one

 

ECUTEK license is $600 us. See if they can use another program, like ecuflash. Its free

 

get a mail in jestr tune for 50 and buy the cable for 90 and call it a day...

 

Sounds like you went to the same garage I went to and got quoted for a ECUTek tune. For AED4000, they will install an ECUTek system and do a custom tune for you.

In my case, I have opted to stay clear of that path mostly because I do not need or want ECUTek. EcuFlash does what I need it to do, and the only thing I need, given the light mods that I have now, is to look for a tuner who is prepared to do a custom tune using ECUFlash. Many 'tuners' still do not want to face up to the reality that someone has cracked Mitsubishi's ECU wide open, and while some will still go for a standalone ECU due to more specialised mods, most people should do well with a custom tune using ECUFlash.

Many tuners are very reluctant to use ECUFlash as they only get paid for their services (tuning) and lose out on the additional income from installation and the margins they make from selling the software, upgrades, and additional hardware.

I have a Jestr M1 flash on my setup now, and have no complaints. If I wanted to spend AED4000, I'd get a good set of coilovers, or at least the Bilstein setup off the IX MR.
