The engine has lost some of the heavy feeling and definitely pulls a little harder than before. It feels more eager now on low end. For the money its worth a try for anyone thats thinking about upgrading their software, especially if you have older software to begin with. I can't comment on US 240e but from some of the posts there'doesn't seem to be much difference from 231e. Thank again Alex! Extremely good prices and service!

Thank you sir!

Jpn 240e is for the cars ECU (Engine management system) the GTS tune is DCT related (Transmission software)

Bump for an awesome coder!

Alex, the update can be for both MT and DCT right? Will try to get someone to update mine soon! New to the coding thing. My car is a 08 and unfortunately, I live way to far to come to you ='( Guys in Socal is lucky to have you around lol

I have the new JP 241E flashed by Alex. Car has been running flawlessly.

It seems the original question was never answered. What exactly is the difference between the japanese and american 240e? Is there an objective measurable difference in terms of ignition timing, power output, and the like? Or is it just a sharper throttle response giving the "feel" of a faster car in a purely subjective way?

Bump for a great software coder!

Has anyone had issues w/ emissions w/ the japanese 240E in Georgia?

Not sure if regions are checked with GA emissions.

Is this similar to using WinKFP to flash the Alpine software on 335s?

If so, what's the ZB number of the 240e tune?

Not similar

Just wanted to give this a bump. Alex @Alpine did the MDM coding and dct update. My car feels so much better now, I will be doing a 240e and getting his tune. As from previous reviews, he went out of his way to get this done after some comms stuff up from my end.

It was done remotely from USA to Australia.

Thanks mate.
