Product homepage : http://www.turboxs.com/wrx/wrxems.shtml

Suggest you download the manual : http://www.turboxs.com/_images/UTEC/Update...anual%204.2.pdf

These are a little boring to read.

 

More interestingly, go to: http://wrxhackers.com/forums/index.php?

Register yourself, then download the few tuning guides under the thread : http://wrxhackers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2498

 

Yes, I tune with the wideband O2 sensor from TurboXS call "tuner", the controller can integrate with utec and produce the log in the same page, very easy to read and know exactly what's the A/F at each load point.

Thanks bro..thumbsup.gif

Yes, Ecutek itself is a very good tuning tool. It's a hack into the original ecu via the obdii port. All ecu tuning solution, either hardware or software based, is "absolutely nothing, and absolutely no effect" on it's own. It's the tunner that makes the difference.

 

Got Ecutek for Mz 323, N.A. car, boh??????? [sly][sly][sly]

No need to be upset lah..... the price for it is in excess of $1700 and might not be so cost justifiable if was applied to NA cars.

 

For TC cars, at least it serves the purpose of the boost controller which already offsets a fair sum. [sweatdrop] Then there's other nitty gritty stuff like resistor fix for CEL is not required etc... which saves abit here and there. So works out not so bad in terms of costs. Only downside is its not conveniently portable when one wants to sell it. Gotta exchange ECU.......... [:/]

Hi bro, check out the powerchip, they claim 10bhp gain by altering the ignition timing. But I don't know who is selling in Singapore. Estimated price about 1k, or $100 per horse, very cheap [thumbsup] compaired to when you buy the new car, say about $70k, with 109bhp, that's $642 per horse, how about that [scholar]

Not "down under" lah, check out http://www.powerchipgroup.com/interact/dat...asp?pid=Maz0053

I know they have being around for a very long time, at least I saw them 6 years ago.

Frankly, I don't trust such chip solution if it's for uncommon car, as I don't think they have the resources to actually experiment it out. However, for common model, I think should be ok.

All the aftermarket ecu will come with interfacing software. The ecu can normally be connected directly to the serial port of the notebook. Just need a wide band O2 sensor, then can start doing tuning liao. However, there's many ecu vendor does not give the software so that you need to go back to them every time you mod your car, so that they can continue to earn your $$$. Worst still, some of them don't really know what the "fish" they are tuning, and all sort of funny result occure.

Sim (if that's you), you ask so many Technical questions that even the Local Authorised dealer don't know how to answer them laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif
