I would call the OEM sensor a narrow wide band sensor, haha. Any chance one of the BRZedit users could make a video of doing things in BRZedit? Like simply showing how you open a ROM change something in the fuel or igntion tables, save the ROM, and flash the ECU.

I agree that the OEM front O2 sensor, the limiting-current type Denso A/F sensor, does not have the same range as a Bosch LSU pump-cell type. For applications where you don't need to go super rich (basically, non-boosted) it will still read accurately. Now if the front o2 sensor output the same style signal as the rear o2 sensor (oscillating 0-1v), then you could easily call them both narrowbands.

Use the right tool for the job, that's all.

They're normally referred to as a 'lean burn' sensor, with much more resolution and range on the leaner side of stoich. Similar to the NTK L1H1 type stuff.

I would imagine so. I asked them if I would be able to upgrade from the personal edition to the pro edition later on for the difference in price and they said yes.

I can't wait to see how open source comes along for this.
You nailed it, EcuTek comes off as a "We are amazing no one can do this!" yet it is nothing more than another tuning option with someone controlling the tunes and not sharing with the community then charging around a 1000 for something that should cost around 450-600 depending on options.

HPTuners is open to Ford, GM and Dodge although mainly popular on GM Vehicles. Both the 450 and 600 kits come with 10 credits and credits cost 49.99 each. It takes 2 credits to tune so you get the ability to tune multiple platforms and cars as well as enough tunes out the door from the start to do 5 cars.
You can find information, base maps hell they have a tune repository so you can learn and the software is available for free so you can have a look before buying the cable and licensing it.

To come from that and see EcuTek it just makes me shake my head and wait for someone like this to come forward and provide a solution not centered on taking advantage of its users in such a manor. It may be great for these vehicles but raping your users over the coals and acting like your tunes are so amazing they are worth over 400-600 dollars?

With HP Tuners I can get a Dyno tune for a fully built vehicle be it N/A, Nitrous, Boosted you name it for 350-450 with the dyno price and that's with one of the best tuners in the country. What the hell makes these other tuners who are sending mail order tunes basically worth so much?! Its flat out just taking advantage of the situation.

Frankly the more I read the more I see this is the solution for those of us who want to tune our own vehicles and share. Because of that this will probably be the direction I choose to go for E85 should I continue to get no answers on the Unichip.

MAF senor scaling table is available to help with adding turbocharger or supercharger. MAP sensor scaling not available yet but is in progress.
Was the MAP sensor scaling ever put into place?

Come up with a cheaper cable than the Tactrix 2.0 and you will really have something to compete with the new kid on the block.
