Looking for Base VIII/IX Flash's
 

I am looking to start playing around with my ECU and also looking for a base flash to start off with. I have a Very stock GG Evo IX and am looking to start off with 100% Stock and a flash.

What is needed, software and cables and such, and where to get a good map to begin with.


Thanks In Advance.

loL. good luck on this one

Tactrix
ECUFlash
check with one of several vendors

I just want something to play with, not looking to rewrite the book. HAs to be IX specific.

Spend the money for a Jestr flash or something. It's not cool to the tuners to just give away their bread and butter IMO.

I am not looking for a free flash, I am looking to flash my own car, the base software and all the stuff to play with it.

Consider the purchase of a flash from Jestr or Dynoflash to be cheap education.

How much per hour does a tuner get for time on the dyno? Far more than $50-$80.

If someone sends you a random tune for free and says it is "tuner base flash X", do you trust it to use as a premise for your quest for knowledge?

Get the tools to control and measure you car. Pick a tuner you trust and buy a mail in flash. Analyze, observe and adapt. Then have a beer and be thankful to have all of these knowledgeable resources at your disposal (oh look, a Mt. Hood Ice Axe Ale. Hmm.. think I will order up a Jestr Tune for a paltry sum).

Thanks I will do, I just wana learn how to do this on my own.

Get a custom tune from a vendor (Dynoflash,Jestr, TT ect) then you can try fine tuning for any new mods yourself because you will allways have a good map to fall back on in case you get lost.

Warpigs^:eek:

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

War pigs by Sabbath?

I do too. That was my point though. Study the map like you would a book. A good technical book will cost $40-50, spend that on a mail in flash. It will be a "lowest common denominator" type of tune. Use it the learn and tweak from. You will see what params change and observe the effects on your car.

Good stuff.

Thanks alot guys :)

There is nothing wrong with asking for a base map.

Tuners sending out ready made maps is pretty stupid if you think about it.
I don't know why people try and make a living doing that.
It's like mail order clothing. Measure all you want, it doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna fit when it arrives.

I'm not gonna have some tuner across the country take a gander at what he thinks my injector time should be without having read it from the 02 sensor in my car.
