I like EcuTeK, as I think the interface is really slick. Ecuflash is really similar to EcuTeK in appearance, but most everyone knows that.

I've used Cobb shelf maps in the past on Subies and they weren't so great. The amount of control granted in the old street tuner was much less than I wanted. Obviously a protune would be a different deal, but all the marrying, waiting, etc, was just not for me. Laptop and cable for this guy.

I would suggest you speak with your tuner to determine what he / she recomends on injector sizing

Best of luck
Al, you had the in for the one two punch here and you didn't take it. I tip my glass to you this time.

I have some good news for those considering Ecutek

Due to the strength of the US Dollar relative to the UK pound, I am pleased to annouce that the price on the Ecutek Evo X "flash can" is on sale

$649.00 is the new price which includes the product itself (license fee); dyno time; and also custom tuning for your individual application

also

I have decided to start supporting a Dyno Flash mail in reflash program for Ecutek based tuning

I have been holding back on this and have been waiting while I developed a very strong library of tuning maps over the past year of custom tuning Evo X's all over the United States. Now armed with a lot of great results in the Buschur Flash program and a lot of great running Evo X's all over the place, I am confident that my maps are ready to support a mail in program.

I am now supporting all Evo X and Evo X MR versions with 91 Octane through 93 Octane - Stage I - Stage III (must have stock turbo and injectors)

These maps carefully retune

Air/fuel
Ignition Timing
Mivec - dual
Desired air flow target
DBW Throttle mapping
Idle
Raised rev limuter and launch
Ecu controlled boost
etc


I offer same day service. Simpky ship me your ecu along with a detailed list of mods to

Allan Friedman
Dyno Flash, LLC
700 Canal Street
3rd Floor
Stamford, CT 06902

I will reflash the ecu the same day and ship back to you with fed ex standard overnight return shipping included for $399

payment by money order enclosed with ecu, paypal to paypal@dynoflash.com or credit card by phone

Any questions - please PM

Al

Mail in tuning just sounds totally wrong - lol. What if there's a problem with the car - how will the mail tune catch that?

The idea behind a mail tune is to send you maps with a lot of room to play. Very safe and conservative maps.

A custom tune later can extract more power.

Good example is shelf Cobb Stage 2 map on my car made 313whp, but custom tune I made 341whp just with some more tweaking. Custom tune is way to go IMO.

A tuner well versed in the Evo X *should* be able to see problems in the logs. Deciphering what the exact problem(s) would be more difficult.

Do you have to be flashed back to stock to use the AP?

Mail in tuning serves a huge niche

A lot of people fail to realize that a lot of reflashing markets do not even have custom tuned options and ONLY work by a base tune - and after all the stock car works with a base tune

All the famous FQ series Evos in the UK use a base reflash for example

People who live in remote areas far away from qualified tuners can benefot from base flashes and it allows them to enjoy a safe and good performing tuning solution even though a qualified tuner may not be in their area

Also if you are going to keep changing your mods over a period of a few months then base maps make more financial sense as the expense of frequent custom dyno tuning can be significant

Of course a fully custom tuned reflash is always the best solution but a well crafted base map can achieve excelent results for a significant savings

No you do not have to flash back to stock to use the AP from what I understand.
