ESS Tune Update - Akra NA Version 2 Tune File!
This past week I was at the track (New Jersey Motorsports Park - Lightening) and it was great to be back out there ringing out the car and getting my speed fix. Among other parts I was trying, I was testing out ESS's new "NA Version 2" tune for the Akrapovic Evo Exhaust specifically.
First off, ESS's timing couldn't have been better, they sent me the file in perfect timing to test at the track (in typical Roman / AJ excellent customer service fashion). Results are straight forward, there is improved overall response from driver input (throttle modulation, etc.) and definitely improved partial throttle under load. The changes are not drastic nor power related, but it's certainly feels great at all rev ranges and a bit livelier due to the refined tuning. Thanks ESS! and be sure to reach out to Roman for your updated Tune File if he hasn't reached out already. Last edited by S65V8; 04-28-2013 at 08:50 PM.. |

Thanks for the info! I'll have to shoot an email over to them. I think the car can use some smoothing part throttle in the low to mid range especially. Even with a 240E Akra tune already installed.

I cannot discuss specifics but I can tell you that the new software has better partial throttle response feedback and is a bit smoother in overall performance than the original V1 software. I have been running it for the past month and I like it. Power is the same as the V1.

I requested mine last night and got the V2 files sent back to me first thing this morning. Very quick turnaround! I'm not running Akra, but do have a Full AA setup with HFC's.
Got it flashed this morning, but not a chance to really test it out yet. I'll be at the track this weekend so it will get a good test. Ran at the track with V1 last month and it ran great. |

Just loaded my v2 tune tonight and I like it. The improvements are a little hard to quantify....maybe I need some more seat time. However, as Roman said, there is definitely an improvement with the smoothness of the tune. I also noticed a little more punch than usual at low and mid range RPMs.
