when will this be available for us to use?

 

AP, is not for everyone by any means. Like I said in the post above it does have a few specific benefits that ECUFlash can't currently offer to either the tuner OR the end user.

While development for the open source tuning has been awesome and we have all enjoyed the benefits of a few individuals hard work, the fact of the matter is, for the AP, there is a team of people working for you when you buy an AP. They are paid to ensure that functions will work correctly with your AP and they are not on a 'try at your own risk, I am not responcible for any damage' basis.

While eventually the features of each may even be very similar, everyone who owns an EVO is not willing to try, or even has the appropriate knowledge to carry out some of the modifications that are required to use the open source route for some options.

Part, or most of the cost of the AP you a buying is basically the hand held car computer that comes with it. This is something that CAN'T be done with out AP obviously.

 

When you say the blue run is stock, is that with mods and no tune or stock as in the the dyno from before the mods? Those are some impressive gains with just a tune.

 

The tuning aspect of the AP is about the same for Open ECU, we still will not offer email based flashing, for optimal results on a vehicle.

 

The blue line includes all of the mods that are currently installed on the car.

The only thing that changed in between the two runs was the tune.

 

just wonderin is this compatable with jdm evo's (specifically the evo VII) like ecuflash is?

 

AP currently only supports the USDM based vehicles.

 

Hey chris... how you been ?

any chance you guys can post up a car with an access port tune, vs the same car with an ecuflash tune ? .... i think most of us would be really interested in seeing the differences.

 

this is an evo 9? Why do some IX's make around 330awhp off a turboback and reflash, yet this has a fmic, tbe, AP and it makes what the 8's make off the same mods...

 

Very nice reply....

Maybe since I always have my nose in my laptop playing with ECUFlash and Evoscan, I forget that there are people out there that don't do that!

 

The numbers will be the same. Either method will allow you to extract the same amount of hp from the car, depending on the user's competence.

 

These are regular/good numbers for the mod combo on this car on our dyno. You must be compairing numbers from another dyno to ours.

 

THE COBB ProTune Software is similiar to open source stuff....I've heard maybe a few more tables could be changed with the COBB software....but either way I don't think any car modded with an ECUflash tune would make more or less power if switched over the the COBB Pro-Tune custom map.

essentially they are just tuning devices...it is the mods that ultimately make power and the tune that brings it out........

 

i realize what the access port is and does, and im familiar with the software... what i was hoping to see is if it was giving any noticeable tuning benefits to people who actually use ecuflash themselves, know what they are doing and if the port software was telling them to do anything different then what evoscan and map tracer has been doing. Also seeing if there is anything in the mix that would make this a good purchase for someone like me

 

Currently, real-time tuning with Pro Tuner is the big advantage on the tuning side compared to ecuflash. Of course this doesn't mean much for the general crowd until Street Tuner is released.
