Are there multiple generations of MD1/MG1? Seems like VAG/Ford have been down this road before back in 2016?
If this is the new standard approach for ECUs it seems like engine tuning days are over. Stand-alones or supercars will be the only options. It is far easier for them to lock than it is...
Arenāt there others using MG1/MD1 ecus (VAG/Ford) that choose to NOT have this level of security? While I believe liability will be the downfall of humanity, I refuse to believe Toyota was silent on this decision. The OEMs have complete control over their tier 1s. (Worked for a GM supplier of...
Always great of see a new pony car!
I feel the same on this as I do the M4, they are too long. The recipe is quite simple, Mr Shelby showed us long ago. Short and light, v8 in the front, driven wheels in the back.
Deeply regret selling my e60 M5, imagine our chassis with the S85 in it?
Value is in the eye of the beholder. With that said itās unlikely it can be unlocked. I have a ā21 A91 worth DME date of 06-06-20 and did not make the cut off for bench unlocks. Some have be very lucky and been unlocked with that date. I donāt consider this in my evaluation for keeping/selling...
Femto for ecutek all in is easily $5000, not a viable option, too many rich kids not willing to push back on industry and throw cheap money around. Donāt mind me, Iām just a poor man who wonāt pay more than $1000 for āunlockingā as it adds no value. Tuning and parts add value, unlocks are scams...
Remember when this was a thing? I imagine when theres a real obd unlock solution everyone will know and it wonāt be this āgive us two weeks snake-oilā ?
Damn, wish I had these problems, still on factory PSS and even with hitting the kickdown from low speeds with traction fully off it wonāt spin halfway through second gear or beyond. Basically only first for roasting tires! I might have got a factory dud! ;)
At least they are marketing towards a solution. My spidey sense tells me they are a established enough company to scale their solution once they have it, unlike Femto. Femto should have had a team here in the US months ago vacuuming money.
Off topic, Palmer clockwise looks fun! Iāve only been there on the bike and ran counter-clockwise. That place is a roller coaster! The camera canāt do the elevation changes justice!
IMO kinda, oem+ type pump solutions I would consider FBO. Is it the pump or the injectors that reach duty cycle/flow limits first? (Is there value it a pump upgrade for us on 93 w/o port injection?)
Similar situation, especially if an s58 version is coming out, by then both will be tunable! I wonāt have to build the engine or add PI for 800+
I will keep on waiting to hear back from these bflash folks returning from holiday!
Hook me up with the right contact Gil! Looking for ECUTEK + unlock and NOT losing an arm and a leg! Time =/= Money so I'll likely wait to see what the winter brings while the car is in storage but if someone were to do it now for half what I said above I'll pay it right now.
Major reasons for me? Cost / Downtime,
I won't be spending nearly $5,000 on non-value-add services on principle. Excluding shipping costs, this should be a $500 bench unlock type of service. Me abstaining won't affect their business but knowing I'm sending $$$ to some bros using stolen...
Subd
I also wonāt touch meth / ethanol and wonder what the limits of FBO + turbo on 93 are with and without port injection.
When does 93 on the HPFP/injectors quit? 600whp?
Bummer, beginning to feel like neverā¦
I have zero coding skills so cannot appreciate the difficulty but its truly surprising to me how this hasnāt been accomplished yet. Two years in, is the market too small?
I even offered room and board and a garage bay to femto folks to come over so they...
Has it finally happened? Who can confirm?
If they can unlock, what does this mean for us that want to use ECUTek? Have to pay for two tuning platform/licenses?
