Hi,

So, I've already made 2 trips to my tuner without success.

The first trip he said the "files" on my car are different than any other he has ever worked on. This includes other '10 MRs and GSRs. He said the file names were different as well. So, he puled the files and told me he'd call me after the people he works with figure it out.

So, he called, and after 2 weeks they were able to map the file. So, I come in again, and 3hrs later he tells me even worse news--seems the ECU has some sort of flash protection. He says he has never seen this before, even on other '10 MRs and GSRs. Apparently when he tries to flash, the ECU will stop the flash in the middle of the process! So, anyway, he told me he will figure it out eventually but will need more time.

This tuner is very experienced with Evo's, and is quite well-known, so I am sure he knows what he is doing. But, have any of you experienced this on the newest Evos? Maybe I can guide him in the right direction.

Thanks.

 

woah! you bought it new? whats the build date? ecuflash or AP?

 

PM'd you.

 

yup, new. not sure of the build date--but i bought it as my own christmas present. i think ecuflash, but not 100% sure.

 

build date can be found on the placard in the front driverside door jamb.

 

your computer has a virus

 

post up the rom file he downloaded...

 

was built Oct 2009.

 

Post up the rom, I would be surprised if it's not 55580005 or variant of.

Hey Bryan, just talked to my tuner and he verified that's the ROM file #. Pointed him to this thread. ................um, so.........? He said he's already working with you guys...

Sigh..... my poor car.

 

why didn't you just go to GST in the first place?

 

JDMs already have 2 revisions of the 2010 ROMs, most likely it is a variant of the 55580005.

*Edit* I guess not

 

cause they are 360mi away?

my tuner's quite well known around here--i have no doubt that he's one of the best around. just trying to figure out this oddity...

 

well thats 360miles you could have had fun driving back

 

ha ha... naw, my tuner's one of the best. it's more my luck than anything. i had a z06 before, and the car had undiagnoseable engine problems for almost 1 year!!! finally, in a last ditch effort, we changed the ecu, and it was all fixed. that was after several weeks worth of missing work days driving back and forth to the tuners, many leeched car rides to wherever, etc.... that was hell.

anyway, thanks for the help. i think i'll just leave it up to my tuner.
