This wouldn't necessarily be a problem except for I've been running E85, and my only close station, without warning, stopped carrying E85. I filled up with a quarter tank of 93 to get me home but I need to be able to switch the tune somehow. Can I order a replacement screen from y'all? I don't own a windows computer, and don't have my stock files saved anywhere but the tablet. What are my options?

Mate use the old fassioned telephone and ring the openflash guys you will get faster response.

the oft guys will hopefully give you a discount for a new tablet, i dont think they are economicly repairable.

you can download tunes from the openflash site for petrol .

Holy shit that is an unfortunate chain of events. Hope everything works out!

I downloaded OFM on my girlfriends PC and noticed there is a file called _MACOSX, does OFM now work on a Mac?

That file is cause shiv uses a mac

You can run openflash manager on a mac using parallels or vmware, not sure of all the detaila as use windoze :-)

Wine Bottler is a free app you can use to load Windows apps, struggling a bit to get it to work

Anyone having trouble loading saved Logs? When I try to open it in OFM it just freezes. It was a 20 minute run.

Yep, I had the same issue... Not sure what changed but it seems to be working fine now, even for logs a bit longer than 20 minutes.

Hey guys,


I am very new to this whole tuning thing. I have ordered an OFT and I have the following installed:
- UEL header
- EVO 3 Catback
- Injen CAI


Which map should I be using? I am assuming the stage 2 93oct? Also I am from Canada and I am 3,500ft above sea level will this require tweaking my AFR (or other settings)? or should I just install everything and then capture a log? Who would I send that too in order to check if everything is running ok. This is my only car and I am very worried I am going to f something up and destroy the engine.

The only thing that may cause issues is you intake, injens and many other intakes alter the calibration of the mass air flow sensor MAF, this can effect fueling to you engine and cause hesitation or rich\lean conditions. Unlikely to blow anything up but may not run smooth or efficiently. If your concerned put stock intake back on, then once you are comfortable with logging and maf scaling put your intake back and rescale maf sensor see links below

ecu will compensate for altitude changes it has pressure sensor

Djust got my OFT this week and flashd a euro stage 2 EL map in too the car
Runing an ACE 4-2-1 header and 2,5" exhast whit vibrant 200cel catt and cosworth panel filter.
My question is, what typ of Fuel ar the euro stage 2 mapps for?
Looked att the US mapps and those hade 91 or 93 oktane to schoose from.

Her in Sweden i run 98ron or 98+ron, but as i understand that is equal to yor 93?

With the G or I series rom ie europe australia south africa the oft guys only offer one map the map they use is the usa 91 map.

in general the usa 93 fuel is superior to our 98 ron fuel.

if your getting no knock over 5000 rpm then you could try copying the base timing B map from the usa equlivant tune. The only difference between 91\93 maps is base timing B table ie timing over 5000 rpm is reduced about 1.5 degrees in the 91 maps and hence our maps

Would like a review on ACE 4-2-1 header! Thanks haha.

so I have possibly a real dumb question but I searched all through the forum for the answer. I flashed to stage 1 93 when I first received the oft a few months back. I ordered uel headers and then flashed over to stage 2 uel 93. I drove roughly 60 miles since flashing but I swear my butt dyno says it pulled a little harder between 3-4k on the stage 1 tune. I've been driving and letting it do its closed loop cycle for 90 percent of those 60 miles. Just wondering if anyone else feels this way?

Butt dyno needs recalibration :-)

Butt dyno probably mistaking the agressive vvt sound in stage 1 tunes between 3000-4500 rpm as power.
due to uel header that agressive vvt timing is not used so its smoother and you dont get the raspy noise,
