PM'd you.......

 

im running 1.5bar with the Xede, tuned by shiv, with no problems whatsoever.

 

i'll take the tunability of the XEDE over a reflash anyday.

 

I totally agree if you know how to tune your car....reprogrammable is good.

If you are not familiar with a/f etc... which way do you think is safe?

Well, we also have standalone ECU like MOTEC or AEM under development for FORD FOCUS, DODGE NEON SRT-4, LEXUS IS300, SUBARU WRX/STI, HYUNDAI TIBURON, MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION VIII request by major company who owns 4,000 outlet.

We are really small company here in USA, and no time to update website. I am just glad there is one right now. If it was Korean, it will be much easier to update, my English not good too..

Our engineers? speak C language with them....good,,,,,speak English gives everyone headache.

 

the ECU has to be reflashed every time you get a new mod?

Yes anything that would affect the A/F by allowing more air would require a reflash.

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to re-flash or re-program the XEDE as well? Doesn't that require something to be obtained from Vishnu?

Oh, BTW, there reflashed ECUs sound pretty good and all, but I've PM'd and emailed these folks at real-engineering with some questions but I get zero replies, nada, zilch..... What's with that?

 

That's why I got an S-AFC, boost controller instead. With that I can get more power than any reflash.

I looked at that thing 1st. I am not a big fan of cutting wires for a computer. I also like the piggy back deal and I talked with them today and they said that they will have a wire harness where you will not have to cut anything soon. I also like the download of maps. AGAIN I do not work for them and have 0 of there products right now just it looks like the best deal out there. I used to run a Motec in my Rx-7 and the computer is everything in turbo cars.

 

The XEDE from wht I can tell can be reprogramed from a laptop with a new map that vishnu can e-mail you. I don't have one, but thats what I have picked up from this board. However if you do something that he doesn't have a map for like anything he didn't sell you I don't know if you can edit the fuel map on your own.

 

If your MOD. need new Fuel and Ingnition, You have to do flash.

but Fuel and ignition's main factor is RPM and Boost pressure.
That's why if not big change Airflow chacter,
no need to do flash every mod.

and Stock ECU flash's other merit is
Change some factor too like
FAN On/Off temp,
Disable second O2 sensor monitoring,
Remove Speed(No need to US EVO8) limits,
Remove or change Rev Limits,
Etc...

 

You right, Fuel is first factor for more power.
but after you set fuel, need to match ignition time.
It makes more stable and optimum output from engine.

If you want to change or optimize ignition time,
have to install other device like HKS ITC.
It said, need money and time.

 

That is why I ordered the Fields harness extender.... Now I can install whatever type of signal modifier that I want and not touch the stock wiring harness.... Also, it's much easier to do the cutting, splicing and soldering on a work bench that laying down on your back under the dashboard

Still..... the reflashed ECU seems like a very neat solution. I've already gotten the SAFC-II and the extender. I'm also installing a boost gauge and EGT gauge. With those and the MBC I can have very flexible control over the tune of my car. Still, the timing is not really controlled and that could be a limiting factor in getting the best performance.... The reflashed solution does look elegant and all but I'm debating which is the best way to go.... Convenience, stock looks, simplicity, price... looks good, but OTOH, I give up all control to somebody else... What if I don't like the reflash?... All I can do is send it back and hope I'm happy with the next step... Meanwhile, the car is down for a day or so... I don't know... it's all very confusing

 

The Real Engineering guys are... oddly enough... "real". Just like their name says. I have seen them work, mucked around in their programming a bit and it does work and they know what they are doing. I have always been extremely suspicious of "chip tuners" after repeatedly busting companies like Superchips and JET with doing no mods at all. Particularly on a flash ECU where you cant even tell if anything was actually done. These guys do real stuff and do it well.
