I have received some feedback from mine from customers, but its scattered around here. Overall people like it from what I have been told.

I only sold around 12 flashes or so though. Doesn't seem as popular as it should be honestly. I feel road course guys and people who actually use their evo for what it was built for really don't try this ACD tuning stuff as much as they should. (Yes I admit I am to one of those people who drag race a rally car LOL).

Heres the only one I could dig up out of the blue quickly

I just put in the TRE 1.5 way, so I need to drive it a while before I make any more changes.

 

I think most of us like tangible items for our money. It's hard to get over that LOL. I'd love a reflash, but for the price, there are things I can do first that will be more effective. Sooner or later ill be there, though.
Other than that, some may be waiting for a DIY solution.
Some of us can't really be without our ECUs for a bit.
I'm guessing those are some of the reasons, along with others.

 

I noticed more from the reflash by itself, than when I did the perrin PSRS, whiteline rear trailing arms bushings, and whiteline rear bump steer correction kit together. My car almost handles like it has a big rsb on it now, but more controllable then a big rsb would be..

 

I understand. Most people just don't think of an ACD tune first. I spent a year building my car to be able take advantage of other mods. I'm now, possibly ready to take that step.
Just my preference of the order in which I make changes, of course.

 

just fyi you can drive the car without the acd ecu with no issues.

the acd tune def makes a big impact but i can understand getting physical parts. don't some people still refer to getting a tune as "chipping" their car? lol

if i had to choose between restacking the diff + acd tune and rear diff mod, i think i would actually choose the former at this point.

 

I'll eventually get the flash done. I just gotta wait until I have time between events AND the cash at the same time. Oh....And if things would stop breaking. LOL

 

Kyoo who's flash are you running at the moment? ER?

 

Are these ACD flashes working for EVO X as well? Do they affect AYC as well?

 

Yeah I have English Racing's ACD tune.

As far as I know some shops are working on it/having a working version for the X. They all "disable" AYC.

 

After having my acd work intermittently for awhile, and getting to experience functioning vs non-functioning nearly back to back in various conditions, I have a much better appreciation for what it does for all kinds of driving. Once I get that pos pump working again, an acd flash has moved to the top of the list.

 

For handling ya a tune is the last thing someone thinks about for sure in a evo.

I have my ACD flash priced super cheap, it just seems most do not know this kind of service even exists really.

My 6 maps are only $150-200 and still has the stock 3 OEM intact.

From what others said though, acd tuning does make a big difference.

You can run your evo without the ACD ECU still.

Its also easy to make the flash cable to program your ECU yourself. you just run a wire up into it.

I would be willing to supply 6 map roms all day for $150 for DIY people.

 

Nice! I agree that it's a good idea. Just posting some possibilities of why people aren't biting as much as we'd think they would.
I'm DEFINITELY interested in a DIY option. No down time!
👍

 

I can't wait to save up and have this done to my evo

 

Win ... win ... win. This has to be one of the most underrated mods. Biggest difference to anything I have done on the car. No downsides and easy to do and cheap to boot. IMO much superior to an RSB.

Does not make the car stiffer ... no bumpsteer unlike spring or coilovers ... no more noise. Just less understeer ... better steering and turn-in ... better balance. If you go to aggressive there might be a little bit of chassis wind-up but I am sure a good tuner can avoid that ...

And cycling the ACD pump a bit more is not gonna break it ... it is likely to die from corrosion long before.

If you like driving this really changes the car ... from FWD feel to AWD/RWD feel. It dials out the trailing throttle understeer perfectly. For racing and if you are full on it, a 12-plate may make more sense ... but for street driving my first choice for any mod bar none would be an ACD flash ... and if you track why not both flash and 12-plate ....
