Anyone tuned with Ecutek? Most on here, including myself are tuned with Bootmod3, or MHD. I’m considering switching to Ecutek, and would like to know if anyone has their hardware, and a custom tune? Any info would be appreciated. Yes, I know the G80/82 platform is crawling with tune threads, but I’m more interested in this F97 platform since it’s what I’ve got.

I have a MP tune and was contemplating going with Ecutek. I read up quite a bit on all the tunes, including Ecutek. Unfortunately the main person doing it is charging quite a bit for the complete setup. If your looking to push for maximum performance of a couple of tenths and couple of mph faster, then Ecutek is the fastest at the moment (keep in mind the limit that the stock turbos are being pushed to get there also). Could lead to long term problems). For the cost of over $4000 to get into Ecutek you have to weigh if thats within reason for you.

Yeah, I’m a stage one E30 OTS map currently… it’s plenty fast, I’m just trying to decide if I want the ability to have offline phone flash for different maps, vs hooking up a laptop and switching maps. I’m told there might be anti lag, as well as potentially boost by gear with Ecutek as well. I appreciate your reply.

[BadGTR]

If you are going Ecutek with flex fuel, you will not need to switch maps at all. I know boost by gear and anti lag are options on Ecutek for the GTR are others. Have not read that it is available on this platform. What OTS map are you using? If Bootmod, why not use there bluetooth option?

I’m told I have the option to use an “offline” feature with the Bootmod3 but I can’t seem to figure out how to utilize it. I have an iPhone, and with the newest updates it won’t allow me to switch maps. Still working on figuring it all out. Currently I’m running an OTS map, but I’m obviously wanting to get a custom E50 map, so that’s why I’m exploring my options with hardware.

What I was told on the Ecutek was that the anti lag, and boost by gear was available, just not fine tuned so they haven’t fully released it on the F97 as of yet. But it’s up and running on the G80/82 chassis though.

Visconti is tuning these via Ecutek, one of his customers holds the 1/4 mile record at 10.2. Don't see why you would need antilag or boost by gear with stock turbos though.

I appreciate your info regarding Visconti… I’ve reached out to Marshall to discuss tuning my car. I don’t necessarily need boost by gear, or anti lag, just stating the options available with the Ecutek vs other tuning software that I’m aware of.

Bumping this old thread. I'm considering a ECUTEK/Visconti 93 pump gas tune. Curious if there is any feedback or if I'll just stay on the BM3 platform, which I am very familiar with.

I never made the switch... Still on BM3. I've had the most success with their OTS E-30 map, haven't tried their pump gas maps yet. I went to a custom E-50 map, so I've only ever loaded either E-30, or my custom E-50 map in my car.

Thank you...E is just such shit quality by me so thinking of just staying with 93 for simplicity. Who did you go with for the custom tune on BM3?

Yeah, if you can't get quality E, I'd just stick with the OTS maps.... Or you could maybe do a custom map for a slight bump in power. Tell you what, these OTS maps are pretty impressive for this platform. Jeff Payn is who I used for my custom map. He's pretty well known in the Supra B58 world currently.

Save yourself a ton of money and headaches!

BM3 will be better off for you (end-user), more features, better support.

[dmanb2b]

Thank you. I'm finding limited info on ECUTEK, so may just stick with BM3. E85 availability by me as well as quality is crap. Any issues with knock on 93 ots tune or should one just run a 91 OTS to be on the safe side? Our b58 has been fine on latest stg 2 revision, but the f97 will stay stage 1... for now...lol

I had a FBO 21 Supra on Ecutek. I may be biased, but I prefer Ecutek over BM3. I am a firm believer in a custom tune over all the OTS maps. OTS maps may work fine, but every car is different. Unfortunately, 2022's are locked and the only way to run Ecutek is the ECU clone route. It's expensive for sure. Without the ECU cloning route, a custom tune is under $2k(inc. license, bluetooth dongle and unlock for pre June 2021 ECU). I will be going the cloning route once I am ready. I miss the smell of E lol. I was also running the Motiv Reflex using Ecutek and a Flex tune. With a Flex tune, I was able to run anything from pump 93 to full E85.

You don't even need a laptop to flash your tunes anymore on Ecutek. It can be flashed using your phone. It only takes a couple of revisions to get the pump gas tune dialed in. It will take more revisions to get the Flex tune dialed in. I highly recommend a custom tune over the OTS. Most importantly, choose the right tuner!! If you need a Ecutek tuner, DM me. I'll get you in contact with my tuner.

Thank you...yup, I'm in a 2020, unlocked ECU, so just weighing options. As much as I want to go the DP route, I'm not seeing a huge benefit vs. the stock DP and I am not shooting for records, just a bit more "fun" .

Will DM.

Jeff's the man! He tuned my Supra. He's very knowledgeable and dependable. He responds to you within a reasonable time and does not treat you like a number

I agree. He tuned my Buddy's Supra too. I'm having a few issues with my E-50 map, but we're working through it. He's very patient, and interactive. Thanks for your input on this thread as well.

There's another thread discussing knock with a 93 pump gas tune... Apparently it's a known issue that even happens on stock tunes as well. Also, as I stated earlier, I don't think going to catless downpipes on this platform is beneficial unless you're going for big power.

Depends where that knock happens in the rpm range. If it's mid to low load and under 3k rpm then it's expected.

Also the knock registered at those lower ranges has nothing to do with 93 octane. It can and has been logged with e60 as well.

Appreciate your input in this thread... I was actually referring to your thread in my comment. I'm learning a lot reading the comments on that particular thread.

Yup, thank you. I have been following Dawgz thread. I can't recall if he's on 93 or not, but good to know f80paul will have a more refined base map😜
