is there any other way to reflash my ecu to factory spec without going to tuning shop?
i have 03 evo8 bought it used back in december last year
and im thinking that the previous owner had it tuned with some extra stuff done to it
and put it back to stock and sold it
so that im thinking my car's out of tune and seems really slow
please help me out guys

 

why not just take it somewhere and get it tuned? or, if worse comes to worse, do the email tune thing for a stock car...

 

Do know any fellow members or locals with a stock map still in their 2003? Maybe you could pull it and save it then flash yours with it. I'm no guru but I'm sure they'll chime in to show you the way.

 

since its a bone stock im just looking to get a factory reflash as cheap as possible

if i get a factory tune from email what do i really need to have in order to do that my self? like a labtop, software, and cable that hooks to obd2 connector?

 

anyboby??
bump for gooooods

 

The stock roms are on the internet. Just find someone local who has the cable and laptop and you are good to go. Otherwise you can do it yourself with a computer (doesn't ahve to be a laptop once you can get the car within the cable's length), the ECUFlash software and the tactrix (or similiar) cable.

where can i order that software and cable?
and how much are those around?

 

software is free, openecu.org
you need a tactrix cable for flashing/logging

read the stickies - its not hard.

 

Here is the cable:
