I was just wondering if it was worth the 450.00 to re flash my ecu and how much horsepower does it give me.....

 

check the dyno plots from worksrally.com / search the forums. Tons of data out there

 

I got my ECU back from WORKS and i love it... The car pulls hard, very hard all the way to the new redline (7,850rpm!).

My butt dyno would guess around 15% gain from stock.

 

what kind of octane did you use??? andwhat kind of mods do you have?? right now i have the turbo back exhaust from buschur racing, and it pulls pretty hard for me....and i also have the air filter from them and the high flow cat.....TT and the last mod i wanted to do is give it a flash, but i also wanted to know if its going to increase horsepower and gas mileage???? can anybody tell me anything....

 

well, you pay 450 bucks for one time deal and for $300 you can get greddy emanage or full programable ecu for 800

 

... and then budget a few hundred more to tune it properly on the dyno (this is where the reflash really shines as it is entirely plug-and-play).

it is plug and play, but for most evo owners it will do for about a month, after that its either a turbo upgrade with emanage or programable ecu anyway.

 

... or a free reflash from us.

Does your reflash work with aftermarket turbo-back exhaust?

 

I am VERY interested in this product, mainly because of the Timing advance, couple of questions.

#1 Boost is not affected, but can I run say 19.5 PSI to the redline with this reflash?
#2 can I run an intake,
#3 Basically Can you make me a flash for an Intake and a MBC ste to 19.5 PSI on 93/94 octane gas?


#4 my MAIN deterant is the fact that I cannot send you my stock ECU, impossible, I use the car everyday, can you still sne dme a Reflashed ECU?

#5 How long is the turnaround for a reflash if I uprade my mods, like an exhaust?

Higher redline too?

 

hey david since your on here too....i'm going to talk to you....how long does this flash of my computer work? i'm still a little scared on flashing my computer..... but i also want to know if it will give me better gas mileage than 240 on a full tank??? also do you provide an intake for our evo yet??? well if anybody can answer these questions for me i would appreciate it....:d

 

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the question, but the flash will "work" on the car indefinitely. Mileage with the Brain flash does improve (users have reported 2-4 mpg increases during normal use) but this, of course, largely depends on how aggressively the car is being drive e.g. how often you are on boost.

We will be announcing a WORKS air intake shortly...

what are your mods?

 

A reflash of the brain is a no brainer.
It is the easiest and fastest way to get a lot more power.
It is not just 30 horsepower.
It is 30 horsepower all the way up to 7800 rpm.
That is a lot different than 30 peak horsepower.
I recommend Works.
Also the dealer will never know.

 

reflashing is for newbies and/or mechanically declined, if you know what youre doing, piggy back/ecu is the only way to go. I installed emanage in 2 hours, everything works perfectly.
I bought my emanage on ebay for 300 shipped
