Sal, is there anyway of deleting the data that shows the car was revved past the OEM redline?? I'm concerned about an engine issue being blamed on the tune if the dealer can see that the car was revved to 8,600 on a DCT.

There is always a way. We can do it here but need to work out for you guys.
Will update everyone on this and maybe try implementing on evolve-R cable. |

Just updated more previous customers from 140E to their original tuner protected tuned versions.
I do not think people were expecting the write times to be so fast for the whole software! Some even thought it happened to fast and thought something was wrong. It's all ok chaps..... it's just the new improved version |

Hi all!
Last night I re flashed the ecu with Sal's help. I have the protected ecu, so it took a updated flash. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to flashing a car but Sal talked me through it, and it was 2am his time... I did a baseline dynolicious run pre tune. I know some people might think that means little or nothing but I've fount it to be very consistent on my other cars (x6m, 370z). And it's all I have. The only snag I've had is that the "service engine soon" and engine picture, light illuminated after the tune. The local stealership said that happens when there is an electrical or mechanical error. I told them my battery died and they said this is normal and should reset itself in a day or two. Had anyone had this happen? Any opinions would be appreciated... As far as power... Jury is still out. I have not tested the car after the tune yet. As far as butt dyno, I think it feels better. I still have the cats and only Dinan rear exhaust, pulley and intake. I know my gains are not maximized using stage 2 flash. I'm not sure if I want the monetary outlay of a HFC system with resonators, and I've ruined cars with HFC's in the past with drone and rasp. The shifts seem to hit harder...I'll have to give a more detailed report once I've done a test and raced some friends cars. John |

Did I understand correctly that you are running a stage 2 tune with cats? I would not know what the effects of that are, but it would seem logical that the cam timing could be off and causing a misfire. But evolve asks you about your mods in advance, so that would seem odd. A bad tank of gas could cause it. What DTC's are stored in the ECU? You can check with a code reader at most autoparts places, like autozone. Have you contacted Sal? I'm sure he will be in contact if you send him an email. Fabspeed HFCs/xpipe are a steal used. You do need to have the right rear section though, or you may hate the sound. Best to search for videos. |

hehe thanks buddy! the only reason why i don't plan on buying one is because i plan on picking up a data acquisition system for track lap times. i'm just trying to find out if this tool will also directly or indirectly measure acceleration times.

chose from. Some models can download the track layout, and others not. With all of them, you can measure acceleration times. And I believe with all of them you can analyze your results on the track with their track tools software -- whether you download the track into the vBox or not. Here's a video of PencilGeek's car on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He has the Video VBox. He added the GPS speedometer and track layout to the the VBox programming. So this video is created while he drives -- no post-processing. But if you have a cheaper vBox without video, you can send PencilGeek your files and he wrote a program that will create a transparent speedometer overlay for you that you can overlay onto GoPro videos too. Here's a demo of that program -- 100% software generated speedometer based on vBox files. When you're not on the track, and just want to do drag races, or 60-130 runs and just see how you compare against other cars, you can send PencilGeek those files too, and he wrote a program that will convert those vBox files into a side-by-side race between two cars. Everything in the video is perfectly to scale. So when you're a car length ahead in the video, you're really a car length ahead on the street as well. Good luck. |

Just got back into town! I had a beautiful black box with the Evolve Automotive logo patiently waiting on my desk.
I'll be uploading my OEM Tune and sending it your way, Sal, sometime tomorrow

Currently sitting in the dealer getting some service done on the E90. I asked the technician to see what version of the software I have and all the information he's giving me doesn't match up with the version names mentioned on all these threads. I told him the latest software update goes by the name, 220E, and he has no idea what I'm talking about.
I wanted to have the latest software before sending Evolve my software file. Any idea how I can give better information to the dealer to get him to see what version I have?
