EcuFlash Setup Instructions and Tutorial

[boostinpsi]

if you get an eflash then log it and send them the log will they fine tune for your specific car like pdx does for subies?

[Warrtalon]

Eflashing is a new thing, so not everyone offers it, but those who do are able to do retunes based off logs no problem, but you have to discuss the payment options. They may provide the first retune free, but not usually more than one.

[boostinpsi]

alrighty thanks.
for track/autox could you use octane booster so you could run a little more boost?

[Warrtalon]

No, you don't run octane booster - you run race gas with a higher octane. Do not screw around with octane booster.

You also won't need to raise boost for auto-x. You're only in 2nd gear for the most part, so power is not nearly as important as handling. On the road course, the extra power is good. I actually have 4 separate maps custom tuned by Dynoflash: street, drag, auto-x, circuit.

I finally got a hold of a laptop. On to the next step...
Which version of ECU flash do I use? Should I use the most recent (1.30), or an earlier version indended for VIII's and not IX's?

[Jazzie604]

the latest version will be best, they have just continued improving the setup. You will find better features and support available with the newest edition

[Fastbreakstar22]

well I just bought a new evo and it is claimed to have an ECUflash and it has the Vishnu XEDE piggyback.

Should I follow your steps, download my flash, and send it in online or would something different have to be done because of the piggyback thats already on the car? Or should I take the piggyback out?

Okay, if you Google 'windows logo testing' you get this windows logo testing - Google Search I'm a network admin by trade, I don't claim to be an expert at windows or the way it was coded, but everything I understand follows the general gist of those links. Basically, the program might or might not work (it obviously does), but microsoft hasn't certified that it will work. So it can't use Genuine Windows Software on the box. (Not a real problem for software you download.) This is best summarized here: WHQL Testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (it's called WHQL now, same thing, new marketing name.)

If you know the people writing the software, you might have them look into this: Windows Logo Kit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as that's the process you go through to get this certification on your software. But knowing MicroSoft it is probably not free to do. If you deal with a lot of OpenSource or custom-made software you will see this warning a lot. You will also see this warning more often on boxes that are poorly 'tuned' (ie. that have hardware or software conflicts already).

Anyway, there are good reasons for that process and that warning, but I don't think it is coincidental that you see it more often with software that's free. Hope this helps.

can you run 1600 cc injectors and E-85 with ecuflash ?

[SicLanEvo]

Why are you so set on e-85 and 1600cc's? you possibly are pushing the limits of the OEM ECU and looking toward a AEM. I have seen over 600whp evos tuned with ecuflash. What else are you planning on doing besides strapping a GT35r to your MR and add E-85?

[lancer09]

can ecuflash work on a 09 lancer es

[SicLanEvo]

Im sure it can, check openecu.org for more details on actually which models it can be used to reflash

[SicLanEvo]

Its nice to have a clutch like that but the 6spd tranny doesn't hold up as good as the 5spd in high hp cars.
