EcuTek Tuners | Everything you need to know 

Perfect time for all the subie boys rip cobb

What did you end up getting, and how did it go?

@@omardgardiner2225 Never did lol, had the car for roughly 8 months, did TRD catback, a front pipe and got rid of it since I also owned an E92 M3 and that was my priority. Honestly, if you ask me today, I'd say just run it stock, power gains on this platform just isnt worth the cost. If I had to pick one I'd go with dynotune, since the OFT is a canned tune that's very generic and conservative. Ecutek is essentially a device that allows someone to tune your car remotely but you're gonna have to drive the car for datalogging before, and after the tune, essentially what the tuner would have done on the dyno. Cheers.

From my research Ecutek is best with FI setups, more options, more protection and more functions. If you running NA, then OFT will be the best option to go. OFT can be used for FI setups, but not as comprehensive as Ecutek

@@K3Y666 what do you mean by FI ?

@@paulobatatel377 forced induction. means supercgarged

@@michelem.1461 Then what fuel injection should be?

@@paulobatatel377 Forced intry ;)

It stated in the video the pros and cons of each...

Ecutek is superior no need for a video

Ecuteck

Don't waste your time with canned tunes. If you aren't getting a dyno tune or sending data to a remote tuner, you are probably not making more power and you could also be putting unsafe parameters into your ECU.

Depends on what modifications you’re planning on doing, if you’re planning on doing more than e85, headers, exhaust and simple stuff like that, then go ecutek, if you’re planning on staying within that realm, just go openflash

Erik Enriquez why would there be

CELs can all be handled easily using Ecutek.

I personally just use the flex fuel setting and all I run is E85 and it’s given me no problems

The license is pretty much a small usb flashdrive you get, that will connect to your computer and it'll put the license onto your ecu so the Ecutek program can recognize your car when you connect to your obd2 port. So yes license is required or else the program won't work for you.

@@ssyang911 so, your saying when you initially buy the dongle and everything, it doesn't include a license? Are you sure about that?

Bump for this question! We need some answers lol

You need to get an ethanol content sensor. Look up Moto-East Flex Fuel Kit, I got mine from 86Speed.

EcuTek can read codes, basically what the tablet does

Yes you can do both

no

It *should* be fine. Just use 93 setting if using 99 octane.

Ecutek is virtually universal. It’s finding a reputable Tuner for your platform that can be a bit tricky.

Yeah but you should really upgrade the heat exchanger. Some tuners won't touch it unless you upgrade the cooling. Best situation is to get a heat exchanger, cai, cat back exhaust and ecutek tune.

@@jeffkelly9197 - hey man ! So I have a 2015 G37 Infiniti , I’m wanting to do this ecutek tune , I only have a little muffler delete and 2 performance reasonators with just 2 K&N drop ins. I should probably get the heat exchanger before doing the ecu flash ecutek tune ?

Mine was a stage 2 tune and that came to 1.5k

Take it back under 1k I had other parts to my order.

Just it from you're tuner because then it would be cheaper and it would come with their off the shelf tune or you can opt for custom tune.

delicious tune is jut ecutek. it's not a type of tuning format. and he already did ecutek vs open flash in the video.

Mr. Wiggles you’re right. I looked it up and it looks like they use the ecutek as well. My apologies for being uninformed. Must be a pretty good platform. It’s amazing how much improvement you can get out of the 86 with just a tune.

@@gryphon123456 No worries. You can get quite a bit of improvement out of the FA20, despite all of the naysayers. However, it won't be an F20C or K24 where it makes insane power NA. That's just the design flaw... or better yet, lack of honing Subaru does with their motors. Still, I love my BRZ and love beating the piss out of it!

Does a lot more. But simply, OFT does everything you need for NA: exhaust, headers, e85 (no air intake allowed). If you were to get a custom tune vs oft with full na bolt-ons, you'd probably get 3-5 more whp. Not worth the cost imo.

You can use both this or oft but ecutek is more superior in tuning because it has better features and better tuners.

Always

Laptop with windows a must. Go to a pawn shop

Correct. You can buy a license and have it assigned to your friends dongle and use that to flash and log your car

- u have ecutek bro ? Just curious if so, how’s it been and is it 100% worth doing

@@dcmasta123 yes I have ecutek and it's totally worth it .

@@dcmasta123 I have had ecutek for a 11months now still no problems love the program. Currently flashed by ams

@@devilman8347 - right on ! So seeing your comment makes me want to move forward with this EcuTek! however do u think its fine if I end up doing it here through the z1 motorsports ? I only have a have a muffler delete with 2 performance resonators & K&N drop ins on my 2015 G37. Wondering if I need to change the heat exchanger before the tune ? Or cats should be fine ? Cuz basically I’m stock asf lol.

@@dcmasta123 z1 is pretty good. When I did my first tune in Los angeles by Shawn church I only had muffler delete and ecutek and I got 410 whp and 450 torque. I would finish all your installs so you don't have to go and retune again . Tuning is addicting I'm on my third tune and that's because I didn't take my own advise and install all my parts first. Right now I have ams intake ams heat exchanger , ams full racing pipe, hks bov, ecutek , z1 touring exhaust .

Just cable and dongle. But you'll have to buy a new license.

Did you ever find out the answer to this?

@@gokudagoat no. I had a dyno time with ECUTEK they charged me a license fee but it appears I don’t have the device plugged in still

@@micko9111 Awesome, thank you! I just ordered one from Z1 for my 370z, and I couldn't find the answer by just looking it up. I was thinking that was the case, but I wanted to make sure that taking it out after didn't affect anything. Appreciate you getting back to my comment so quick
