Any Tuners out there with personal experience with ECU+ ?

A future version will have greater resolution (probably 250-rpm increments) and a LOT of other features, including knock sensing, OBD-II stuff, and lots more. It will probably move up in price, too. (Perhaps we'll have a "Junior" low-priced/simple and "Senior" version with more features...)

How much more?? It is a very good bang for the buck now. But if you go up too much and add all that extra stuff, you make it a less attractive option. Just fix the small problems, 250 or 500 RPM increments of tuning, and add knock reading capability and you have a winner.... Make that the junior version with just a software upgrade and more people will buy this, I think. With all the problems AEM owners are having, this looks like a good tuning tool.

It's good to have options (in terms of piggy back ECU's and reflashes). As it stands, a re-flash, xede and utec has the added advantage having good base maps...very good for those without time (extra tuning $$) or dyno access. The ECU+ may become even more attractive with base maps.

now i just need $500 lol[/QUOTE]
I do have a short term/high interest loan program :P
haha j/k
If you need to borrow the laptop to tune just give me a call.
Nah, it's because I make "ok" money, and so does my wife. No kid(yet).
and I don't have any other costly habits like drug, alcohol, gambling, or buying women expensive/incremental gifts
Back to ECU+, I need Dan from MachV to report after 4 tanks of gas without P0300 code. please? :}
And Dan, did you get one with the harness? or did you soldered it yourself? I have my old field harness that I can reuse from my SAFC2. I only trust my own soldering anyway

I guess I should have said by far the best for the money If someone wanted to spend less than $750 I would say it is the way to go. There are some features that I think should be implemented in it - even if it raises the cost 25%. You can't get a good datalogger for under $200. You can't get pretty and easy to use fuel control for less than $280. Now add timing to the mix you can't go wrong
I guess I would like to see it match DSM Link in a few areas (Simulated Anti-lag, Stutter Control, Shift-No Lift, and Knock). If it could do that I think it would be the best without a stand-alone. Even right now it may be the best without a standalone. But I have never used it or any of the competetors so I guess whatever I think doesn't mean much

BTW, this problem only reared its head *after* we started selling the ECU+. Grr.

As to how long it takes to wire, figure maybe an hour, perhaps a little longer depending on whether you are experienced with a soldering iron. The patch harness certainly makes things much easier.

Is this device recommended for someone with no tuning experience? I like what I have read about it so far but I am not sure if I trust myself when it comes to tuning. I would definately like to learn/practice w/o blowing up the car.
