what is PPE EL header

Ppe is a company, el is equal length runners, header is a style of exhaust manifold.


Thanks for posting Bill. My car is stored for the winter, I'll hit you up for the latest and greatest in march or there about.

Im curious if a method of knock alert is available.

My dsm rom gave me the ability to use the factory boost gauge in the cluster for scale, and the check engine light would illuminate if more than 3 knock sum was present. If the CEL were already active for an unrelated code, it would then flash.

As we dont have any spare useless gauges, perhaps a flashing CEL or another dash light could illuminate when safe knock count has been exceded.

Dear Bill,
I've been following and reading your threads quietly. One quick question, have you tune an 86 with SARD equal length header? Thanks.

Currently there is no easy Knock alert available but will speak with EcuTeK to see if that is something we can add into the Custom Maps with EcuTeK RaceROM. I think that might be nice to have for tuning.

These headers are sold by Micro Image located up in Northern LA. Though you can find their website through my dealer section on my website.

Dealer Section

I would bet this is similar to the PPE setup. Do you have any pictures of it, lengths, internal diameters?

Also are they long tube?

PPE headers, that sounds interesting. ;)

Maybe you should try a set. ;)

I am away from my computer right now,and it's saturday afternoon now in indonesia, i'll get back to you on monday. Thanks Bill. Best regards, Denny.

This guy puts in a supreme effort in his tune you can see it in his dedication to the platform.

That looks familiar. :)

Do your turbo tunes include any type of over boost protection?

I have created some tunes for over boost protections. In those maps, it would entail lowering the wastegate duty but I am looking at other solutions.

Currently a wastegate cut works BUT if the vacuum lines break or fall of it will still overboost. So closing trying to determine the next best option with what is available to me right now with EcuTeK RaceROM.

Small updates have been made to the following maps.

Stage 1 "Tuner" Innovate Supercharger Map version 8.1

I'm just curious but many forum members have insisted that it is absolutely necessary for me to continuously data log my stage 2 Ecutek dyno tune to verify that it is "safe". The tune has already been logged, reviewed, revised and reviewed again by two pro tuners and I haven't encountered a single issue after several months of daily driving.


Do you agree that constant end-user data logging of completed custom tunes is necessary to ensure a safe tune? TIA.

There should be no need to constantly data log after the tune is in a good reliable daily driver state. The tune isn't going to change, it is the parts on the car and the fuel used that will cause more problems than the tune.

No one said constant end-user logging. Not even often. Just log the thing once in a while, say after you install a part and then again a week or two later to check the trims. And once every few months as the seasons change, IF you live in an area where the gas content is changed to suit the season.

Thanks. That's exactly what I thought but some members here keep insisting otherwise.

Yep.... He is that obtuse. :suicide:

WTF is it so important to you that I buy a cable and data log a tune that has already been logged, revised, logged, reviewed and approved by 2 pro tuners and hasn't exhibited a single issue ever? WTF do you think the logs will show when the car runs flawlessly? The only change after the tune was an over-pipe. How drastic do you think that change was? Gas stays the same here all year, 93 octane e10. How many more experienced and knowledgeable people have to keep telling you that you're wrong before you STFU?


Tell you what, you buy me the cable that I don't need and I'll log the tune and post the results.

Awwwww... did I hurt your feelings when I didn't agree with you and then proved you wrong in the other thread?


Please don't threadjack this thread like you did the other one. I'm out of here.

Fast_Freddy how about this I can take a look at your log and review it for you. No charge. This should ease any nerves.

I really appreciate your generous offer but I wouldn't feel right since it's not your tune. The reason I haven't done any additional logging myself is that it was a remote dyno tune and I didn't buy a cable. Since the tune runs better than stock and has zero issues, I haven't seen any good reason to mess with it.


I apologize for the two idiots who followed me here but they apparently have hurt feelings because I didn't agree with them previously. This forum has a lot of experts who know everything and hate being disagreed with. I probably should ignore them more but it's hard when they seem to follow me around.

No feelings hurt, just amazed at the complete inability for you to actually comprehend what others have said. You do what you want to do with your car, all anyone has tried to explain to you is the need to verify what someone is selling you instead of just taking their word for it. I'm sorry you can't understand that.
Oh, and there was no thread jacking involved here. I had a legitimate question and a complement to to an ECUtek tuner for something that is actually good about ECUtek. Unfortunately your blind hatred toward OFT and OFT users keeps you from seeing that.

Delicious Tuning, that is amazingly nice of you. Customer support is where this business is made or broken. I sincerely hope that fast freddy takes you up on your offer. Its not often that you can get a professional tune review for free. :w00t:

Self-fulfilling prophecy => obtuse.

Preferring Ecutek to OFT equates to "Blind hatred"? "Comprehend" means agree with you?

Okay, whatever gets you to STFU, stop following me around the forum and jacking threads.


BTW, if it's not too obtuse of me to correct you yet again, most if not all, Ecutek tunes include free professional tune reviews and revisions. The number of reviews and revisions varies by tuner. One of the reasons I previously mentioned for preferring Ecutek to OFT that you immediately ignored. What do they call that kind of behavior? Hmmmm....





What took you so long? Was the search by username feature down?

I have a life outside of this forum.

This is not the place to debate other systems versus what we prefer, EcuTeK. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Not trying to be a pain in the butt, but trying to keep the thread to questions and answers.

Thank You,
William Knose

Two weeks in after my second revision and custom mapping on my AVO 10 Series. All I have to say is Thank You, @DeliciousTuning! Can't wait to head back down and get more work done for that Awesome Flexfuel kit, you are working on. :burnrubber: :thumbup: :thanks: :respekt: :bow:

I purchased the Fullblown tune as well. Just waiting for the email containing the rom. Very excited.

@DeliciousTuning, will we be able to use the retail ecutek software to modify these tunes?

I would like to wish you a happy new year and apologize for the delayed email. I was very busy in December and also took two weeks of vacation, my only vacation with my family all year. So now I am back for another year.

Currently all my tunes are locked, so you can modify your own tunes. Though I have been discussing this with other EcuTeK tuners to see what would be a good solution for our customers.

I do understand that everyone wants to tune their own vehicle or at least see how things operate but this is how we protect ourselves from tampering and how we do make a living. So finding a balance is what we are trying to determine.

What would interest you in custom tuning your own vehicle? Why would you like the opportunity to use retail EcuTeK tuning software?

Cheers,
William Knose

I am not sure if you know many people at EcuTek but as a master tech I imagine you might know a few. I would maybe suggest to them a way to modify some of the racerom features separately from the rest of the maps. I'm not sure if they can separate the the encrypted information from the non-encrypted but this way those like myself who would like the tune but the ability to adjust things like launch control would be great. This way based on different tires or conditions I could alter the value to get a good launch and do so on the fly with no need to bother you. I imagine that would keep your intellectual property safe.

@DeliciousTuning

We could really use some advise on comparing EcuTek features, options, updates vs BRZedit. Not sure how much experience you have with BRZedit, but we were thinking about the possibility of trying it out. I currently have EcuTek on my personal FRS, and I don't know what is involved if I want to switch software. Or are we better off using the new EcuTek software update that would allow our tuner to tune on my vehicle? I have been hearing from other sources that BRZedit is lagging behind in updated, and does not have the full RaceRom features that EcuTek currently has. What are your thoughts on this?

Hello @DeliciousTuning I PM'd you guys!

You guys are kind of in a catch 22 with that. Want to provide a good tune but don't want to give away your trade secrets. Maybe have a "basic/generic" tune that isn't your best, in fact it could be just a step above the stock tune, but shows what some of the things are that you change so people can see that compared to a stock tune. I think this would help tremendously in FI applications. Being able to have a turn key setup, even if it's not at it's full potential, but something safe to revert back to, with the ability to modify afterwards.

Personally I love learning new things. Even if I have the money to pay someone else to do something, if I haven't done it before and I believe I have the ability to do so, I would want to do it myself at least to say that I CAN do it. Pretty much the reason for me to want end user tuning.

Me too!

@DeliciousTuning
I would like to thank you for all your support over the past few months, your experience and knowledge of tuning the Sprintex/Innovate kit is superb.
Each time I get a new file, I know it's going to be damn awesome and a whole lot more power.
keep up the great work, I know you put long hard hours into development of your tunes and always find time to support your client base.

Here's to you:cheers:
