Can you DIY tune with EcuTek?
 
I cannot find any info on this. But if I pay $900 for ecutek with the race ROM can I tune it myself? I can't imagine paying that much for a flash and then not having full control.

I see the Subaru guys can but I can't find anything g about the Z version.

No.

Welp, cross that off the list... What a joke.

Chuck33079 04-08-2017 04:19 PM

It's still a better software than uprev even if you have to go to someone to tune it.

etx 04-08-2017 04:23 PM

No, it's worthless if I cannot tune it. Tunes over email are a joke.

Why would you e tune it rather than taking it somewhere?

Because I'm capable and don't need/want to pay someone else to do it. If I just wanted a fast car I'd go out and buy a new Giulia QV. It's about the process, not just going fast.

Maybe I'll buy a motorcycle for someone else to ride for me also.

I'm sure you are, but on this platform a Dyno tune from a well experienced tuner makes a huge difference.

Dyno tuning time is usually included in the $900 or less price tag for an ecutek tune.

I think you can tune it as long as you have correct hardware and software.

From what I've found you have to be a dealer to decrypt and modify the ROM files.

Closed system. Boooo!

BboyZ 04-08-2017 05:10 PM

I thought the decrypting and modify is part of the key. if you have the key you should be able to do anything.

They apply their own encryption to the ROM I think. It's beyond the keys to get the ECU to dump the ROM over J2534. Then you have to know the locations of the maps in the ROM etc, and their tuner software does that.

I'd gladly pay the money for the software if I could modify the maps and settings. It's not easy to do what they did.

If you'd gladly pay, then call em up and get the software

lj909 04-08-2017 06:08 PM

Or contact vitviper and buy a motec from him
