ECU ReFlash to MP3 Option

[ProtoType5]

Well, the way it seems, it is next to impossible for anyone to get it done, so I'd write it off as not gonna happen...I don't know why the other forum died on the idea...Just buy a microtech...all the control you'll ever need...

I'm glad I broke down and just bought the MP3 ECU and stopped waiting for things to develop...Best 300 bucks I've spent on the P5....besides the header..which was the best $150 bucks I spent...

other forum was circumstances. It's still not 100% dead...

Pull out the defib....Bring it back to life!!!! It's a great improvement..and it should be pretty easy to do...You would think..

yeah, I spend about an hour a day calling junk yards. It's a joke that they can't be found

it might not be dead, the guy might be working with ken from protege garage to make this happen.

 

[mazdaspeed777]

Well its deffinately not happening any time soon sadly. (sad2)

He said he turned everything over to Ken. So it looks like the ball is in Ken's court now.

PLease Ken! Do it!
See the sign up sheet! There should be enough dedicated peeps to make the business case here...

So the MP3 ecu needs premiem fuel to produce the smoother curve. Got it. Only question I have is how high of premiem are we talking? Would something like 89 be fine or do I need 91/93 octane?

 

[ProtoType5]

Premium...Not silver/mid-grade...91-94...Higher the octane the further it can try to advance the timing to the knock sensor...

 

[blueprotegelx]

has anything with the flash been final yet? i have a spare p5 ecu and in need of some power

 

[JoshP5]

No, it's soooo dead now.

 

[Mr.Ames]

send a pm to myzmzm
she was gonna get one flashed for me

 

[P-Funk!]

Ken/protegegarage: have you looked at this for a business opportunity? What do you need? Commitment with cash deposit? I belive the desire is so strong that won't be a problem.

Let us know! Thanks!

Had a few questions about the ECU flashing. What is a VTCS? After the ECU swap does the car require premium fuel? What is the HP gain? New to this forum so I'm not very informed on what some of this stuff means.
Thanx
