This car went from being fun in the corners to being fun EVERYWHERE with the Electric supercharger
I love it! I want one on my supercharged engine. Cuz 1 just isn't enough.

Is there any speculated time table on when these will enter the production phase? I want to throw my money at you asap.

Should be easy to integrate into the innovative system with that long tube pre supercharger.... you will have to get to chopping though.

Would be truly interested in seeing that.... could be the ultimate setup.

Rob is the only man that can answer that. He is taking all necessary precautions so that this system can integrate and operate pain free.

So far testing has been great without any major hiccups so im hopeful for you guys!

I've been squirreling away money for this too, I'm also ready!
Do you guys know if any ecutek master tuners are on board to remote tune? I already have a basic tune from Fa20club.com and e85 I am very curious to see how it'll perform on e85.

We have a BRZedit base tune so far. Anyone can tune this thing though, it just takes some time to figure out the load cells that are hit and get the right fuel for those high load situations.

Someone who knows how to tune should be able to put something together in a couple to three hours i would suspect.

I really want to see something that doesn't involve setting a flag in the ECU. No trace for dealer visits...

Not possible with boost unfortunately. The ECU mointors pressure via the MAP and when it sees something outside of a normal range of NA operations it trips the code.

If you dont care about the code or using the system below 3000 you can use the stock tune.

Anything else is asking for too much when adding 50 hp and almost 100% more torque in the dip

There is also argument that using ecutek and un-installing for dealer visits is undetectable however we will leave that for another thread as it has been discussed at great length so far.

I thought I read somewhere that Unichip Jack and Rob have discussed using a Unichip tune for the eCharger?

Are you no longer using a second charger? Did it not work out?

I will still let Perrin play with the car at a later date, but the company has a number of projects going at the moment.

Basically I have been driving the car for a month without a tune and wanted to give people with ecutek licensing a resource to reach out to when the kit is released.

It is killing me watching you and fenton post results!

I knew Perrin's schedule is crammed at the moment and getting the car in their shop was going to take a miracle. Schedules just did not align.

Drift Office, though not local, is a highly regarded tuning outfit in Seattle area and Bob has tuned just about all FI currently out for the car.
