Yes and yes.

Very quick and easy. You just have to know where to click because the pro ecu ui is rather unintuitive. But there should be tons of guides online

I am going to do a test run tonight to see how it recognizes my car.
I found a written guide from Perrin: http://blogperrinperformance.com/how...-your-brzfr-s/
and a video guide from Delicious Tuning:

Damn man sorry to hear that. How much power were you making?

[Chad86]

Wow, this is too easy. From watching Delicious Tuning's video and running through a test on my car, I can see this is no sweat. It is just l like flashing firmware or updating software, patches, etc.
From running the software it seems it backups up the stock ECU file automatically as a failsafe. Is this correct?

Thanks for the video @DeliciousTuning

No, there's no need. OEM files are downloaded from ECUtek by ProECU into a folder on the computer.

I'll have to see it. I'm semi-local. I frequent the Stafford/Fburg area. I have the same. Any supporting mods, smaller pulley, e85, exhaust?

Curious to know what you'd want for the 335 blower and charge pipe, and if you'd swap for the 210+cash.. Probably a a lot easier to sell the 210 kit.

I could sell the intercooler for 1k if rifle buys supercharger

I would be willing to sell and swap the supercharger for 1.7k if riboystar buys intercooler.

Would you need a pulley rifle? I have the 85MM pulley and 80MM Pulley. I would be interested in the 75Mm pulley with the 210 if you have that

I will also have a 340lph pump for sale that I can swap the entire assembly with somebody. 150

Also will have ID 1000 injectors 300

Act 6 puck with the street lite flywheel 300+stock clutch

All of the parts are in the shop and should be off car this week.

I'd have to wait for the winter months. Out of money at the moment and not making as much

I'm not usually down there but maybe with the s/c I'll get interested in going to meets again.

Right now I have a TRD catback and that's it. For my current intentions I didn't feel like I needed an intercooler or a smaller pulley. I'm reading through the sprintex thread to see what kind of intakes / headers people have paired with this. I figured the initial kick in the pants will make me happy for a while, and then I can look into other things down the road to add power.

I'm surprised you don't have an exhaust, at the very least. I don't give your cats very long, you'll probably burn the one in the header in no time.


So it sounds like you have the 210 non-intercooled. So you're pushing, what, ~200whp? Atleast you know, with the change of a pulley and an intercooler, you can add more power. With a full exhaust, 69mm pulley, and intercooled, I make 260whp.

Yes, 210 non intercooled. I stopped by mach v and talked to Dan, he's been running a 210 in traffic around here, with the stock headers, for about 15k miles or so with no issues. I think he's around 215hp.

I don't track the car, just daily about 20 miles / 45 minutes each way, not too long in stop and go. I decided against more power because I want to not worry about it. If I up the boost I'm going to want to build the motor to make it extra reliable and then I'm getting into new clutch, full exhaust, and on and on replacing every part I think might be a weak point with higher power levels. At that point it's smarter for me to sell the car and go get a used m3.

The cat issue is interesting, as I wouldn't expect the addition of a Supercharger to spike the egt enough to burn out the cats. Dan is dyno tuning mine after the install, so maybe some of the canned tunes are running on the rich side to be safe and fouling the cats in the process.

I took a log of the hesitation/stuttering I'm getting below 2k RPM and sometimes even above 2k.

69mm pulley, 93 right now (usually E85), 8.83 update, stock internals and exhaust and intake

This is EXACTLY the same issue I am having but my advanced multiplier has gone down as far as .20. Gets rich for a second, leans way out.. and then comes back down..


I just pulled the supercharger and completely disassembled it, cleaned it, and inspected it. Replaced the seals and put it all back together. New brass elbows, new spark plugs and flushed the port injectors.


I disconnected the evap system to make sure that wasn't causing a problem. Checked the PCV system and that is fine and so is the brake booster.


I replaced the o ring where the bypass goes into the lower manifold with a larger one because there was a small vacuum leak coming from there.


I am 100% positive I don't have a vacuum leak. The only leak I have is from the butterfly bypass valve shaft as it passes through the casting because there is no seal there. This leak is SUPER small.


If you are looking for a vacuum leak the best way I found was to run TorquePro on a android tablet. display AFR as a graph over time and spray starter fluid around all the fittings. The engine won't fluctuate but the AFR will dip pretty far.


If you figure out the problem I would love to know what you did. I am lost and ready run the car into a wall!!
