It's nice isn't it.

I think it's currently the quickest flashing tool so far.

 

so then my next question is any time frame on evo scan for the x

and i just happen to have bought a new snap-on verus that just happens to graph
i would think this should work for data logging wouldnt it?

 

Isn't the Versus like $8000? I hope you didn't buy it just for the Evo. You could've bought one the best laptops and ECUTek Delta Dash and still have around $5000 left over.

 

Its in the general forum. I'd hate to threadjack this useful thread with my personal junk.

LOL. I'm glad to be back!
The interface is great, I just need a logger. But I have posse backup and a dyno to hold me over in the meanwhile, so all is good.

I have no doubt on that. Thanks for all you do for our community!

 

The real thanks go to Colby, MrFred and gunzo. Colby for making EcuFlash and MrFred and gunzo for doing the evo 10 diassembly.

I just tested the hell out out of it to make sure everything worked right.

 

I searched, but obviously missed it.

What are the differences between the MIVEC #1 and #2 maps? I'm not talking intake and exhaust, I'm not stupid, I'm talking the separate maps for each? Is everyone just putting your tuned values for intake and exhaust in the #2 maps in Ecuflash and leaving the #1 maps completely stock?

Thanks in advance.

 

The switching point for the 2 mivec maps are at 77* celcius ECT. So think of one (#1) as the low ECT mivec and the other (#2) as the normal ECT mivec.

 

Thanks.

So #1 is basically the warmup map and #2 is the cruising map?

 

Yes

 

Thank you. "ECT" was throwing me off.

 

Correct. The next version of ECUFlash will have more maps related to this.

 

Oh, sorry maybe we use different acronyms in Japan
ECT = Engine Coolant Temp

 

Ah, gotcha! Sorry about that.

 

the verus cis 9k and no ididnt buy it for the evo im an auto tech and bought it for my work just thought mabie i would be able to use it as a data logger

 

I've seen a vast amount of various tuning product reviews lately and wanted to throw my hat in the ring as well. Though I could go fairly technical, I'm going to start this one off really basic to educate those who might be not as well versed in Tactrix lore.

I've been a big EcuTeK supporter from the get go, and will continute to be, as I have a very high opinion of that company. They are pioneers in this industry, and were the first to crack the Evo X ECU. Like EcuTeK, Ecuflash gives the tuner raw access to map files.

The predominant difference is that Ecuflash gives the end user the same level of access and costs a paltry $169. The other big difference is that EcuTeK has a fully integrated and functional logger, which is not available as a companion for Ecuflash at this time.

There are a lot of different choices on the market for the Evo enthusiast, but no others have this level of customization or control, and certainly not at this price. If you have a laptop, you can author and store an infinite amount of maps for you and your buddies.

Ecuflash is wonderful because it can be supported basically anywhere. If there's not a tuner nearby, you can turn your own car. Right now, a dyno is probably the safest bet, but when Mitsulogger or another strong piece of logging software comes out, you'll have complete logging parameters at your fingertips. In the past, some tuners have even sold base maps, and some enthusiasts have shared good starting settings.

I am currently running a map that is 95% of the work of my friend (unnamed shop, I'm not going to advertise for them) and 5% me. He has been flashing their customer cars for almost a year, so its pretty bang on. When I have a little time, I'll head down to the shop and pay for dyno time to custom tune and get the car dialed in perfectly.

So here's the part that matters, the driving part:

I've had my car a couple weeks and been breaking it in. I installed the K&N filter and Ultimate Racing upper IC pipe, right after flashing the ROM with the starter map. Hookup and PC installation of the free program was a total cakewalk, and I had my car flashed and ready to drive in LITERALLY less than 20 seconds.

The power increase is substantial, because there are adjustments to everything- Fueling, timing, boost, Mivec, rev limiter, etc. The car just zings through the revs and is substantially better. The turbo spools much faster, comes on a lot harder, and pulls with much more authority. There are no sinkholes in the torque curve like we see in the stock mapping, and the car will pull to the rev limiter before you realize it.

Speaking of the stock mapping, the first step everyone should take with Ecuflash is to download and save their stock ROM, so putting the ECU back to stock will take all of 20 seconds or less.

I just wanted to share my experiences thus far. To me, there is no other product on the market that is as comprehensive, easy to use, affordable, and has such widespead appeal. Since its open source (meaning we are the community that comes together to use and develop it) the rate of support and growth eclipses everything else in the market. All we need to take over the world from this point is a functional front to back logger.

Get fast. Cheap.
