i've noticed several ECU chips being advertised in different places, but are they really worth it ? they sound too good to be true, that is, increase horsepower AND mpg's in just 15 minutes for 70 bucks .. ??
does everyone have one of these except me ? am i that late to the "party" ? just wanted to ask for anyones two cents worth on the subject. thanks to one and all in advance. -al |

Why are toyota ECU's not flashable?
I have a chevy tuner/flasher for my rx7 its pretty much amazing. You can do anything to it. I'm in the upper 700rwhp range and I still have the stock ECU. That really blows if you have to get an engine management system for pretty much any real mods.... -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

QUOTE (czwalga @ Jan 10, 2012 - 3:26 PM)  Why are toyota ECU's not flashable? toyota locks them in the firmware. other manufacturers like mitsubushi dont, so you can just plug into the ODBII port and reflash it -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
