To be able to get your car flashed with ECUTek, you need to pay ECUTek for a license for your car. I said "License DT" meaning the license Dynamic Turbo would get from ECUTek to tune my car.

So to get your car tuned via ECUTek you need 3 things:

1) License for your car (from ECUTek)
2) Cable (either you buy the cable or loan it from the tuner or a friend)
3) the tune (this is the work the tuner will do either at the Dyno or providing a flash he has already developed that is compatible your car and configuration).

so my tuner (or myself) would have to buy the license so i can tune the car with whoever i want? right?

Yes, once you get the license it is yours to keep. Example, I get the tune from Dynamic Turbo so at that moment I pay the license, and their tune.

In a year, I want Visconti to tune my new Supercharger setup. I don't have to pay for a license again. I just need to pay Visconti for his tune. He will use my already purchased license to be able to flash his tune.

This is directly from Visconti's groupbuy thread:

The cable is $350
EcuTek license is $250
Tune $350

I did not get into his groupbuy because I either plan on going FI or staying N/A with all Nameless mods, and they will be providing a specific tune for their setup via ECUTek flash. I think these are more or less standard prices.

i heard that the license was $3,500 or something that that (which i think is crazy btw)

i just want to go FI and be able to have a local tuner tune my car ( i live in Puerto Rico)

3,500 price is if you want to become an ECUTek licensed tuner. So you get the 3,500 kit, learn and become the person that does tunes for $350. (I'm originally from San German, living in Miami )

@manny25 Sorry to have but I feel the discussion is pertinent to ECUTek flashing, and I'm sure will respond to a lot of people's questions about what is and how to flash ECUTek.

oh nice! Boricuas! jajaja

my local tuenr is already a ECUtek licensed tuner. i dont know if you have heard of him. Gadiel Tuning. Awesome guy

FA20 was one of the few ecutek vendors who seemed interested in data logging. I am surprised other vendors like Visconti are so busy fulfilling orders, its clear they are understaffed, and product development/ refinement have been put to the back burner.

How do i know what they sell at sea level will be what I need at 7000 feet?
I want to be able to try visconti tune vs a fa20 tune and see what dynos better

problem is each vendor is authoring maps in a bubble...

I hope tuners stopped this E85 crap, it just sound pretty because of the bigger numbers you get but it's not convenient and I'm sure 90% of people don't use it.

Well, to our blessing, the Miami area has E85 readily accessible, so for example Dynamic turbo has a potential big market of people eager to get their hands on a e85 map.

also E85 has the biggest potential for HP gains so why not? It's more bang for the buck.

Now, I do see your point in offering both options. Dynamic Turbo is offering both, an E85 tune and a 93 octane tune.

I agree. E85 is at almost every gas station here in MN, so it works for me. I know its not always available everywhere, but that's no excuse for them to stop with the "e85 crap"...

[manny25]

If you you live near a gas station that offers E85 I don't see why not getting it. Is actually more affordable to get E85 than regular pump gas. Aside from the better gains, the engine runs cooler, which means more reliability, specially when making higher Horsepower. So I don't see why not getting the E85 Tune.
