EcuTek preparing to release PRO ECU software for BRZ
Let me first start off with - I dont have a date just yet!
But EcuTek - a UK based company has has been working on the BRZ Ecu for over 8 months now! Like their other Subaru products they plan on doing Speed Density, map switching, advanced launch control , etc etc. Some of these features will prove to be critically important when putting a turbo on! I was just sent updated Pro ECU software from them and here is a little screen shot Hope everyone has a nice weekend. -John Last edited by Visconti; 06-01-2012 at 04:23 PM. |

EcuTek as a company has turned a new leaf and wants to be taken more seriously in the USA. They have revamped their product line, product structure and pricing. Here are all the new end-user cables EcuTek is getting ready for their new homes -John |

Will they allow inviduals access to the program to do tune themselves, or will you have to go to a licensed tuner and have them do it?
I know that the majority of tuners who use EcuTek in the US tend to lock the ecu down afterwards making it impossible to do anything to the ecu without going back to them for unlocking. |

The older RomRaider stuff works great - but on the newer cars going with a more well defined product like Cobb or EcuTek gives the best results. If you take a look at EcuTek dealer list in the USA you'll see the list is very big... Most of the dealers aren't active now.. EcuTek has been very busy adding support to for new vehicles.. Nissan GTR Nissan Juke Nissan 350/370Z Mazda MX-5 Subaru BRZ So I hope that changes very soon. -John |

Yes and Yes. There was a huge stink over this years ago. Just like Cobb, EcuTek locks the ECU when the car is programmed. The big difference between the two is Cobb has a handheld programer to allow the owner to remove from the car (unmarry). EcuTek has always had a cable available for sale to serve the same purpose as Cobbs hand held - it was however very expensive so no one every bought it. This is where EcuTek's pricing change has come in. There's a new cable, new price - dealers like myself will be selling staged packages to go with the cable. For those of you that want to do self tuning - they will have that as well. Pro Tuning support for BRZ will come first, then user tuning. -John |

I just posted in another thread, but if you guys take a look at my avatar you'll see a nice hump in the map... This explains the hump in the dynosheets.
