So this is what it comes down to now, referencing Ecutek info to find a solution for an Ecuflash issue?
Lancer Evolution Magazine Vol 37
Article:
ECU Tuning by G/Force (using ECUTek)

If you want to complain, go complain to the magazine company that wrote the article and showed screen shots of all the ECUTek maps. All I was doing was quoting the names of the maps since the scales and values were identical. Of course the maps are the same but none of the maps in ECUFlash were referenced from ECUTek while finding them.

Not complaining at all, just wondering why Ecutek's info from whatever source needs to be referenced in solving an Ecuflash issue.

I was always under the impression that the object of the Open ecu stuff was to do something seperate and apart of the Ecutek SW etc.

Well we have tuned a ton of evo 10s with Ecutek SW and these problems do not exist. They spent alot of time and money to make a seamless product that can be delivered to customers without "bricking" ecus.

I conur with you on this

The biggest issues right knoware trying to figure out what these tables do and why. Most tuners just use an EBC or MBC and let the cel's happen. (car still runs pretty much the same)

Personally i think we will have this nailed down in a few weeks
yeah, i dont like the mbc route on these cars, as they are more like subarus than mitsus

im hopeful we can get cobb dialed in, thats my true goal for tuning these cars, they just have some things to resolve.

Thats interesting to hear

Ecutek has had these matters sorted out for over 6 months

We have not had one cel in any customer car we have tuned with ecutek

I only have tuned a small group of cars with Cobb AP but had no problem with that system either

What things are you talking about ?

As a fellow Cobb Pro Tuner I have no problem to steer you in the right direction - however - what ever I share with you - please don't post it on the internet

As pro tuners guys like Sean and myself spend months and months doing testing and R & D - thats why we at my shop bought our own Evo X. It takes a lot of effprt to sort out how all the maps work. last thing I want to do is go through all the hard work only to have some guy who is selling $49 email flashes just steal our work and ***** out the market.

Oh give me a break. You act like he is telling ecutek secrets that will put you out of business or something . What's the harm in mentioning the names of a couple of tables in ecutek? For the benefit of the community, we are all trying to share info, tuners and enthusiasts alike, that will help solve this issue and result in better quality tunes for everyone, so chill out bro. No one's trying to steal or hurt anyone's business.

Its no harm is he asked and recieved Ecutek's premission

Obviously he did not rear the application end user license agreement

Ecutek spent a lot of money to make a tuning product and service the tuners with all the data to properly tune the cars - its not legal or ethical for a Ecutek partner to give this information away to anyone - period - its stollen data

It would be great to "share" a free copy of every movie that comes out without paying also for the benefit of the "community" - sadly though if there were no ticket sales then there would be no movie to watch

Sorry for being off topic but I think you're all blowing this out of proportion. If the names of the maps in ECUTek must be kept secret then I'm sorry. Maybe you should report the company that published the maps in the magazine instead of making it sound like I'm the one that let out the ECUTek "secrets". Are fuel, mivec, and timing maps secret too?? Or are they okay to mention on forums because they are old maps??

I understand you want to protect your investments but to tune an Evo with whatever software, you'll eventually be tuning the same maps whatever the names are.

BTW, if you want to talk about piracy or illegally using data, ECUTek disassembles and lets you modify Mitsubishi's patent ROM and that is known as "hacking" from where I come. Did you know that to sell a hacked (tuned) Mitsubishi ROM is also known as copyright infringement?

Actually your information is incorrect about Ecutek and Mitsubishi. Ecutek works with Mitsubishi which is also why their development comes along so much faster than everyone else's.

I see both sides of the arguement other than that.
