Peak hp gains will vary due to variance between cars, dynos and testing conditions. But usually expect a max gain of 10-15hp at high RPM (~7400) and a considerable improvement in torque between 2500-4000rpm. Our OTS maps pretty much redue the size of the infamous torque dip by 50% which makes for a much more responsive and drivable car.

Exutek has many more features and is more "in depth" however OFT is on its way to becoming more "in depth" with its continuation of adding more features, specifically to accommodate forced induction as well. The general consensus is that Ecutek is much more widely used to custom tune (particularly for FI) because of its vast capabilities, however, tuners still hate tuning with Ecutek.

For me the only significant advantage of the EcuTek is being able to run a Flex Fuel kit so I wouldn't have to reflash depending on what fuel I'm using.
Other than that, I'm very happy with my OFT. I use it on my BRZ and also used it on my '06 Miata I had previously. In both cases it provided noticeable gains over the stock tune. |

That's a pretty bold statement, considering EcuTek was the only tuning solution for this platform for several years before OFT was an option, especially for a Forced Induction application. Any market data to go with the statement?

Several years? These cars haven't even been for sale for 3 years.
EDIT: Not to mention, do you have any market data to say that EcuTek has that market cornered? Last edited by OkieSnuffBox; 02-26-2015 at 02:04 PM. |
