Surely not for an unlock. I provide ECUs to their team and I can assure you half that cost or more goes to the ECU.
Youve got ECUs?? DM me.
Not anymore sorry, all sold.
You robbed someone finding an ECU for $400. lolI had events to get to.
But this is how it works. If early adopters like me (I did this process in November) don't pay these prices up front, we won't ever push towards a more affordable solution.
Definitely a viable option, and unlocking absolutely adds value. It opened up the race season for me with this car. Not something I could have done without it. Just like how I had multiple 5-figure offers for axles that I wouldn't take because I'm not willing just outright to skip a race season.
I almost qualify as a "rich kid," but I definitely don't consider myself rich, and I'm almost 40.
I know for a fact my all-in Ecutek to a tee was $2,625, not including the tune, which is like another 2k.
I reached out to PPE for their clone service long time ago when they started that service. I think that’s why I was quoted so much tbh.
Only to the right buyer it would add value if it's someone who wants an untouched car they could care less about being able to tune
No, it's the other way around. There were dozens of them around when I bought mine back last November, then certain folks started calling all the junk and scrap yards, buying them all up to make a profit on resale.
No you didn't. PPE just did a bench unlock for me, which is required after ECU was clone. I got no special deal from them.I got a much higher quote from PPE for my ECU clone service. I need the Zrk special.
Value is in the eye of the beholder. With that said it’s unlikely it can be unlocked. I have a ‘21 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 don’t consider this in my evaluation for keeping/selling the car as the “Supra tax” is a function of time and will only matter to folks in a hurry. If this winter doesn’t change the “Supra tax” for tuning costs I’ll be switching platforms to something more capable for the same effort.
My ECU is 06/06/2020 and was locked. I don't think I've come across a single 06/2020 ECU that could be unlocked. I've only heard talk of it without any proof whatsoever. Unless you've had someone actually attempt to unlock it, you won't know.
Visconti strikes again…
I have unlocked late 06.2020 DMEs, there is no single cutoff date,
