[review]Stay away from Ecutek FA20 tune(stg2) if.....

[wootwoot]

I am worried the stage 2 tune may lean the mixture out a bit more.... perhaps a bit too much for my liking... Any dyno and AFR info?

i was hoping more for 6.9's to keep up with GTI's etc..

Nop wrong it's a 7.25, I timed with after effect frame by frame.

And it's a false start as you can see the bad lunch. And the video is on Perrin tune not FA20. So up to now I would say jsut by the feeling of it that I feel the FA20 is twice the power of Perrin, but wait Perrin is only beta for now will see the end result when both are done testing. And the ultimate test will be on dyno.

I have a Stage 2 with no intake, i just a have a drop in filter and test pipe. Catback is coming soon but he will adjust it for you if you send the logs in.

To give you an idea i'm also beta testing Perrin tune which is not finish cause jeff found something wrong in the data reading with the intake and with even with that when I flash my car with it I droped .75/sec on my 0-60 from stock ecu. Go see the video of that but you will see that there's something wrong at the pull off. And FA20 tune I don't have that at all and i'm pretty sure ill drop another second from the unfinish Perrin tune.

Was this video with the Perrin or FA20 tune?

Also, I'm sure you have noticed the harsh rev limiter, cutting power and such on the stock tune. It really bothered me when I was at the track (drifting) and it would literally bounce off the limiter once and lost power unless I shift. My question now is: Do either of these tunes remove the power cut at rev limiter, or at least raise the limit?

That video is on Perrin, and the rev limiter is raised to 8000rpm, have to ask for cut off but pretty sure it would be doable.

Yes pretty sure i will be in the 6s area, for sure i lost time with fail start. Don't forget sea level is also a factor. No promess but i might put by my summer tires a do another run cam in hand to show you guys and for my self lol cause i m curious to see how fast it is with FA20 tune.

It would have to be better than that. Some auto mags have hit 6.2 0-60 mph stock. 20+ whp should cut that into the 5's for sure with a good launch.

Are there any good driving videos of the Stage 2 tune?

0-100km/h is 0-62mph so you would have to change gear to third for that on OEM car.
That's why every test of 0 to 100 km/h are around 7,6 - 8 second in the euro mags

Agreed, but not with the raised limiter. You can hit 62 in second.

To tell you the truth they said it but i've never seen it. Or maybe they are a lot better shifter than me lol. And yes 0-60 or 0-100 is done in second gear with the raise rev limiter at 8000rpm, it's all in the vidéo on perrin tune i've made.

Look at this guy he did about 9.5 on stock
