what is e-flashing?

 

There is a thread for exhaust sound clips; I believe there is a UR video or two in there.

 

If you are talking about the GST Tune (Maps) on this forum, it's free.
Nothing is better than that.
We have to give a lot of credit to Bryan for his hard work.

These are 2 I know of and IDK if Bryan @ GST does it too but some tuners exist that e-flash. This can be useful if you don't have a tuner locally.

Basically, depending on the tuner, you log your data, email this over to the tuner w/ list of mods, they tune, email back to you the new ROM, then you flash your ECU to the new tune. Each tuner is different but this is the basic concept behind it. Allows for remote tuning.

If you plan to stay stock, go with the Tactrix cable + boost pill and use the free maps Bryan offers @ GST. He's earned the respect of many by offering his tune for free to the RA community. I'll also say that even though it is RECOMMENDED to stay stock with these maps, I've upgraded to the Evo BOV, K&N drop-in filter, and Evo FMIC only to find I'm still operating safely from my data logging. More power may be squeezed out, however, if I get a custom tune with these mods, but so far I'm not tearing anything up yet. I also realize I'm doing this at my own risk and do not condone others doing this thinking their car will operate the same.

 

GET and a cable FTMFW!

 

Oh, email tunes...that's basically just a slow custom tune.

Do they car if you touch your ecu and when do they check if you did or not?

I plan on installing these for my car sometime soon, Im just looking for some experience if anyone installed these and have any suggestions. Im a visual learning so diagrams and videos would be the best.

Some questions i have are:
How do you exactly set up the kit to the battery and into your car? (pictures)
How do you mount the LED tubes in the car? Hide the wires?

Please dont say "read the instructions" , I already saw them but im looking for more in depth answers and how to.

 

yes... they will void your warranty.

 

Also any idea on how i could maybe set it up so i can use one of the slots by the AWS or on the dash by the ASC OFF?

 

They will flip out if they find out you got a tune. But I'm sure if you went in for an oil change they won't randomly check for a tune

 

I really wish people would stop spreading this BS around...

A tune will not "void your warranty". If your tune causes your engine to blow up, they will not warranty it. If you have a tune and your radio stops working, they will fix it. If they blame your tune for your radio or taillight going out they are wrong and you have rights to get your car fixed.

They will also not flip out on you if they find you have a tune. If anyone does at a dealership I would call Mitsu of America right away.

As for when they will check, more than likely not going to happen on routine maintenance. If you have a weird engine symptom (odd idle, down on power, etc) they are more likely to search deeper to find the issue.

 

thank you for that answer, its much better to get a good answer then just some BS

 

really depends on your dealership.. some don't care what you do to the car some are really **** and dicks about it
