MP3, MSP, P5 chips/tuners

Well I can say for a fact that if you get this thing to work and prove a good gain I'll be the first in line.

He may let me be the guinnea pig if I can get some before and after dyno time. I'll let you know more if something can be worked out. I told you he was a good guy.(thumb)
 
Yeah I'm not trying to talk this down at all! If you can get this to work, I will definatly be jumping on the wagon. We've just been hearing for years that it's not possible, so I'm a little skeptical
 
There have been cars successfully flashed... It works. The people that told you it couldn't be done were prob the same people selling you strap-ons/piggy backs or other free standing systems.

Not to argue and draw this out, but that's just not true. There have been people that have tried to do this and have done so for other cars. There are just too many variables (?) and language barriers that make it hard an not cost effective. Now if youre a big enough company that can afford to do it and not have to make up the money up front then you can keep the price down and more people will buy it. So far every one wants to make up all their money one the first 100 sold and that just can't happen that or when you dyno it the thing doesnt do squat. But I'll eat my words and buy one it this does work.

I will say again on this board...Please provide documented proof. Dont just tell us "it works"...That's not enough to sell us a product that messes with the ECU programming
 
No problem.

I found a local who goes by the name HASE on here. He has a MSP. I assume using his car will be satisfactory????

I'll remember that... ;)

Its basically a Ford EEC using Ford type strategies... Who ever has been talking about language barriers doesn't really know.
 
Definately interested in an NA chip. You will certainly get a lot of business if this is a working/pro performance product.
 
Hey guys,
I have dealt with Pete in the past and if he says he can do it, I whole heartedly believe him.

He did a chip for my 01 ranger that worked like a champ and still does to this day.

PR5MATT, Not trying to steal your opportunity at getting first testing, I am like 20 minutes away from Pete so I just think it is easier. I am very appreciative of your efforts and research. I will do everything I can to ensure that this is explored fully.

Hopefully I will meet up with him soon and will keep you all up to date on the progress.

*subscribes* I can't wait to see results for this. I want to tune my car so that it doesn't make my exhaust tip so black all the time :P

That is cool. I would send him my P5 ECU to play with if he wants. Maybe disable the VTCS in it like the MP3 ECU I have now.
 
Well who ever the guy in needs to have an N/A car. It wouldn't do us any good if it was done to a MSP ecu.

I have posted this many times before, our ECU's CAN BE REFLASHED!!!!!!! My ECU was sent out a long time ago and that company could get into it and make changes, it was just the cost to "buy into it" was too great to become a dealer with all the SW and stuff. If this guy has the stuff to do it, then I do not doubt that it can be done. I do agree that there needs to be one done, and on an N/A setup, to show the proof. But that fact is that our ECU's can be done!!! The N/A croud would be all over this if the price would be reasonable. The turbo croud would be too, just don't know which one would be better to start with. I say do both and make twice the money while making twice the amount of people happy.(thumb)

I personally love my piggyback, but there are MANY people out there that do not need to, or don't have the time to, be messing with something like that. It's those people that would benefit from this the most. Good luck with it.
 
We may be able to work something out for my NA P5. With either my MP3 ecu or my P5 ecu. The dyno tuning (by him) would not be feasable because of our distance. That is up to me or my seat-of-the-pants-o-meter.

I was so tired of seeing the half-ass solutions this community has to put up with, that I wanted to get the ball rolling on a chance at something. Coming from the Ford comunity, I know the great potential of the Ford ECU. From everything such as a basicly stock car to a 1000+rwhp beast, the Ford ECUs can be tuned to deal with most anything. It is certainly plenty for what the NA and FI Protege crowd is putting out.
 
N/A cars will need some hard mods in order to get good numbers out of a reflash. The head is very restrictive and has low compression pistons. Just like any honda...if you want at least 165whp N/A (for example) you better get some money and get aggressive cams, pistons, balanced crank, head and valve work, move a bit the powerband, etc in order to take advantage of the tunning. Chipping the ecu doesnt do much on stock N/A. On turbos...this is another story.
 
That's is already in the works. If all goes right in the next 2-3 months my car will be paid off and then the buying frinzy starts. Rods pistons and so on.The head will be the hardest.
