Surfing the net and saw this site selling a power package for EVO 8. The package includes HKS or Tomei cams and ECU tuned for the cams, I think . Has anyone look into this yet?

Here is the site. http://www.real-engineering.com/

 

I'd like to have the ability to tune the computer myself.. Of course I'd like to get a baseline provided to me.. But there's just too many variables out there to take a single ECU program and have it work well for everyone.

BTW, Their site is incomplete, so I'd be a little suspicious of their claims for now.

 

I've talked with those guys about their ECU capabilities at length. They do seem to know quite a bit about what they're doing. I have no doubt the ECU mods are legit. Sadly, this is still just a reflash of the static data components of the ECU (timing and fuel tables, fuel cut, etc.). They don't seem interested in developing a more user-adjustable feature set. Oh well.

That said, I personally find the proposed pricing structure outrageous. To each his own and I know the costs involved, but $1400 for a set of 264 cams and an ECU reflash. Cripes.

Thanks for the reply. Too many options.

 

Does anyone have any information on how to reflash the ECU? (Or, preferably, like the SR20s, slot in a second EEPROM?)

I've read through the instructions for the SR20, it looks simple enough for someone who has a good knowledge of computing, and a passable knowledge of electronics (like me). But unfortunately, I don't have an SR20 based car... When I do get my Evo, it'd be nice to be able to reprogram it myself, for the price of a $0.20 EEPROM.
