• LaunchControl
• Flat Foot Shifting
• Auto Blip
• Throttle Mapping
• Per Gear Rev Limits

If you want to have access to the following RaceROM features you will need to purchase the RaceROM BRZ upgrade:

• Four Way Map Switching
• Custom Maps offering unique functionality:

  Traction Control
  FlexFuel tuning
  Closed Loop Boost Control

• Speed Density based Engine Calibration
• High Horsepower Forced Induction Load Limiter Lift

Well this is pretty dang great

can someone tell me how this is defferent from what I already have?

I probably should have added an extra question...






If I'm provided with a map that has only the basic functions, but includes map switching then we have to purchase the top package to edit anything? Sorry if it seems like an obvious question, but I know most people will utilise the map switching functionality.

What you already have, you cannot edit anything - you simply flash whatever your tuner gives you.

With this, you can edit either some of the stuff (for free), or everything (by paying to unlock the full turner package)

You only have to purchase the RaceROM BRZ upgrade if you want to have access to anything other than the factory maps (Mode 1).

So to re-iterate, I could edit map 1 but maps 2, 3 and 4 are tuner/RaceROM editable only?

i'm in! when and where can i get it?

just to be clear: with the 'RaceROM BRZ' package and one of your license/dongle/cable things, i can edit all of the known stock maps, in addition to the racerom stuff like speed density?

also, does the 'programming kit' come with the license or is that an additional $300 on top? if so we're talking $1150 out the door for license/programming kit/racerom brz software. that's a bit steep. can the maps be shared between users? do i still have to pay for a tune from a vendor or can i start from scratch?

Correct

Correct. You need to contact any one of our Master Tuners to get yourself a ProECU Retail Programming Kit (Cable thingy)

Our master tuners can be found here

You will need to discuss pricing of the Programming kit and licence with a Master tuner. He may offer you a deal.

What about live tuning?

i'm still not clear as to whether this is like a software package where i pull my stock map and edit it, or if i'm meant to go get a tune from a vendor and then able to edit it. basically whether or not i can create a bespoke map and share it, and whether or not the vendor tune is a necessary expense.

also does this come with the racerom features delicioustuning was showing where you can define your own tables?

I'm still trying to understand too.

If I ONLY do the free upgrade to ProECU BRZ can I:

A) Create my own map from scratch

B) Edit everything in a tune as long as my tuner unlocks it EXCEPT editing any of the RACEROM features he created.

If I BUY the RaceROM BRZ:

C) I can create my own map from scratch including RaceROM features and custom Maps

D) Can fully Edit a tune from my tuner (inlcuding RaceROm features) as long as he unlocks it for me.

i think it's like "where i pull my stock map and edit it". there is no way you'll be able to get a tune from a vendor and then edit it! :D unless they unlock it which obviously they won't.

i'm also not sure if you'll be able to save and/or share your own tune in unencrypted bin format. good Q tho. which leads to another one, would it be possible to load an unencrypted bin tune into EcuTek.

i'm guessing no on the last one. they have significant custom logic going on in the roms.

the reason i asked that question to begin with is just to figure out whether or not i have to pay a tuner for a tune or if i can just make it myself and avoid the expense.

well, it's still possible if they just wipe out their custom logic on saving in opened bin format or add it when loading an opened bin format. now if any of those custom tables/logic is utilized in the tune then they could warn that the tune will be screwed up by saving in opened bin format.

Im pretty sure you will not be able to edit a tune that you received from a tuner. It sounds to me like you will have to basically build your own tune. You can only build one tune without the upgrade meaning no map switching. Im not sure if tuners will be offering a base map or not.

I think you will be able to save and share your own tune that you built but not one that was bought from a tuner like fa20club visconti or any of them.

That would make since because they sale their maps that they build. I dont think it would be right for us to be able to pull them and share.

i don't want their maps. i just don't want to have to pay for one i'm not going to use lol.

Did I read that you will be able to tune more then one car with a single proecu kit? If this is the case will you be able to us the race rom on multiple cars with one racerom purchase?

you can always use the ProEcu kit on more than one car, but each car will require a license

@EcuTek :thumbup::thanks::party0030::happyanim::cheers:

Ill go through and clarify as much as I can Since Ecutek is closed for the day.

This free version of software is the equivalent of what you have with brzedit/OFT/RomRaider.

You are provided a stock map which you can edit to your liking with the same map options available from the competition.

If you already have a tuned map you can contact the tuner who sold you the tune and see if they are willing to open up the map to you. If not you can start from scratch.

The the full version of the software that you have the option to purchase you will have access to even more tuning capabilities such as SD, Custom tables for creating your own Traction Control or Flex Fuel options. You can purchase a programming kit on its own but if you dont already have a license installed in your ecu you will need one regardless to begin.

A. Yes

B. Yes, But you will still be able to edit LC, FFS, Autoblip settings which are part of your original RaceRom Patch

C. Yes, With the full Paid version of the software

D. Yes

We do have a way of doing this Ill post for you guys later. So you will be able to import Some of the shelf maps you are currently working with.

Really awesome!

I'm on the phone so if this post has mistakes, blame Autocorrect

@King Tut

Would like some clarification just because the wording is a bit vague.

I have a tune from a master tuner for my Innovate/Sprintex Supercharger, what would i need to buy to take this tune and add racerom features like flat foot shifting and downshifting blip?

They are free on the ProEcu d/l. Or you can talk to your tuner and tell him you want those features added/turned on.

Wow this is an Orignall idea :) how some completion changes things quickly .

So Ecutek is going to finally allow full end-user tuning?

What's the cost of this entire package to be able to tune my own car by myself?

Great stuff!

Now it is up to tuners to unlock their tunes?
Is there a comparison feature so why we can see what the tuner has changed if we are having issues with their tunes?

Anyone happen to update tonight and lose the ability to open your existing tune file? I updated ProECU tonight and it removed the ability to look at the tune I had previously flashed to the car.... Not sure if I'm going to be able to log now. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Im sure its going to vary based on the Tuner you purchase from as well as if they are providing you an open base map.

I dont see that happening anytime soon. More than likely base tunes will start popping up for starting point ons FI setups for NA you can grab any of the maps starting to float around.
