Figured I would just let everyone KNow i got my Open Port and successfully flashed my car without much issue..
However a couple of things.. 1. I would update the original post, as the latest version of ECUFlash comes with the definition files needed, no need to do anything other than download ECU Flash 2. I had an issue from the start where my OpenPort would not finish reading my rom, it would get about 20% and fail.. I tried a million things then simply just swapped USB ports and it worked just fine. I even put it back in the original USB port I had it installed in and it happened again. I know that USB port is fine however I know some devices can be picky about how good its connection is and an "acceptable" error rate. So if you have similar issues just try swapping the USB port you're in. |

The USB issue may be power, some ports on laptops may not supply current required for tactrix. The ODB ports connector can be a bit suspect on brz/86 as well. |

1. Everyone needs the latest 32bitbase, regardless of location. 2. The defs that come with latest EcuFlash are ok out of the box for USA. One more tune related question. I have a catless UEL header, ABE, and a K&N drop in and I want to run the stage 2 93 rom. A station I fill up at sometimes has 92, would I have a problem with this if running the 93 ROM, or should I use the 91 ROM if I want to use 92 gas. I can get 93 at an alternate gas station, though its not as convenient. What type of power differences are there between 91 and 93? |

If you run a 93 rom with less than 93, you will probably lose some power. How much I'm not sure. The car will knock and then cut back on timing. You're better off running the 91 tune with the 92 gas.

As long as my car won't die then I'm fine. I can stick to 93, the 92 is just in a convenient spot between my house and work. Near home and work I have access to 93. Just wanted to get an idea just in case I had the 93 tune loaded and down the road found myself halfway home from work, running on fumes, and have no choice but 92. Or the guy working the pumps puts in 87 or something by accident, it's happened twice, one of them being today.

I know, I hate it too. Especially when I'm in a rush bc you have to wait for them to acknowledge you and start the pump, then recognize when the pump is done to take payment. And they sometimes go to put in 87 by habit even when you say 93.

if the ecu is left to pull timing is quite agressive and pulls more than needed. the ecu pulls timing after detecting knock so if you run 93 tune on less than 93 gass you will be in a cycle of knock ecu pulls timing , then ecu tries to return timing it knocks again then it pulls and cycle repeats. basicly it best to run gass to suit tune, it ok to run better gass than tune requires but not lower quality |

I'm running OFT v2.06 stage 2 UEL A01G ROM flashed with the latest ecuflash using an openport 2.0. No issues at all with the flash.

I would not suggest it, no - unless you're willing the check the ecu wiring diagram to make sure that they are identical.
