When i hhad an '05 Celica i was modifying, ipurchased a GReddy E-Manage ultimate.. shitty these units don't work on Mac, but i was lucky enough to borrow at netbook. The software was incredible ... fully programmable everything, nothing was locked, and there were some amazing features. Vehicle specific haharnesses + PC = full end-user control even thought a proper dynotune is required for the best result.
I was told a chip / flash wouldn't work w. That car because the ECU was "locked" - is it different on the FR-S/BRZ?
Is ECUtek a physical unit which goes to the ECU or just software?
Are drop-in performance chips possible/ in the making for the twins?
What is tthe easiest, cleanest way for giving the ecu a boost?
Thank you guys! |
I've used Greddy E-manage before - it's a piggyback system.
EcuTek makes tuning software that can direct flash (reprogram) your ecu via OBD2
All manufacturers have their ECUs are locked down - but there is always a way to get in!
Just seems like there wasn't enough interest from a commercial company like EcuTek to figure out how to do it for your particular car.
EcuTek has had a BRZ ecu in there hands for over 8 months now so they already have A LOT done. Once they get a BRZ in their hands they plan on getting Speed Density and a few other things working.
EcuTek plans on selling cables that will allow car owners the ability to tune themselves - this however will come after the ProTuner have a chance to work the software first.
Vendors like myself will also sell the EcuTek cable with a tune that will give you the bump in performance your looking for.
I would guess that some vendors will offer packages that will include a flash and maybe exhaust system.
