You may wish to hook up a scan tool and see what kind of ignition advance you're running now. In thread Boycott RMR!!! - Long *** Rant, Shawn Glass reported:
It appears that the "Tadashi" mentioned in Shawn's post is the one at TechnoSquare and that Shawn's reflash was free, too (presumably his freebie was also for "R&D" on a modified Evo).
They put my car on a dyno and reflashed the ecu, supposedly tuning the car for the mods I have, etc. Found out the other day when I took the car to Shiv's that it had detonation at idle and 50 degrees of timing advance at 1700 rpms!!! WTF? I had Shiv speak directly to Blair while I was there. RMR's solution? Ship them the ecu overnight and they will reflash it back to stock Shiv couldn't do any tuning on my car at all in the state the ecu was in. I get the ecu back today and put it in my car, it wont idle at all now with my foot off the gas. It dies if I keep my foot on the gas at 1500 rpms, wtf? Their response, well Tadashi (or whatever his name is) builds race cars for big motorsports companies. If that's the case why the f*ck cant he get some code right in my ECU?? Oh yeah, it cost me $200 for shiv to diagnose the problem with the ecu and $30 to overnight it down to RMR, when asked if I would be reimbursed for it, "uh, no, you didn't pay for the mod so we aren't going to reimburse you". Which is fine if the F'IN mod worked!

... locating the fuel map for the car seems to be the most difficult portion of the ecu reprogram.... It seems Nissan didnt' go with their traditional fuel/timing map layout. Ignition map is already found. Doesn't really make much sense (in terms of what it displays) but we found it. ...

We have a good idea on how to tune the 350Z, but we need to do a 'heavy' mod so that it triggers the ECU to do something major to the numbers so we can find those key values, and base the tuning off what changes......

I've no doubt that Tadashi's understanding of the US Evo ECU will improve over time. I'm just trying to caution those who've already been reflashed to be VERY vigilant of what their ECU's doing and make sure it's not doing something really stupid, like Shawn's was.
BTW, their website is:

I had my ECU reflashed at the same time as Shawn Glass by Tadashi from Technosquare. Since then, I've had 0 problems. I have driven very hard, driven in hot weather with the A/C going, driven across the country (2,700 miles) without a stutter, etc. I think Tadashi has a very good handle on what's going on. Once I finally finish my power mods (poss. a new intercooler, GT3037 turbo, Toda 2.3L kit), I am going to ship my car back to him to work his magic. I am a believer...
Just my 2 cents.

Techno Square is a new company but the people that works or owns it were in these business for so many years. Richie Watanabe and his brother, Howard are awsome guys. They used to have a shop named H.M.R. before they moved to UPRD. I've used them for more than a decade now and will use them again for my Evo. I was skeptic about Techno Square until one day I called and Richie answered. From then, I'm hooked.
