So priced up a ECUtek bluetooth Dongle for my 2020 V37 400R and after reading No Tuning credits included i thought i will investigate this.

So looking into what this was i stumbled across a ECUtek dealer where you can buy Flash points or Tuning credits for $2.50 each.

then i went down the list of tunes they have for engines/cars and i see VR30DDTT for 300x Points.

so is this meaning that a tune for my VR30 is going to cost 2.50x300

Im guessing its just for the file no dyno tune?

or am i completley wrong?

Well, I've got no idea how ECUtek's tuning works, but I am interested in what you learn :)

Total guess, but I'd expect anyone tuning an existing tune file it will be a remap for a stock or mildly modified car (eg new exhaust) and will be locked so you can't see or modify it yourself

With ECUTek you purchase a "key" to load and modify the tune, once you buy the "key", cable and software you can play around all you want, the tune and ability to change it is locked to that cars ECU's with the "key" though

My 86 ran ECUTek, Pulse Racing could run it up, log and play with the tune to get it on point, same thing is currently going on with the MX5 at MX5 Mania as we speak

Ok nice so im guessing its kinda like the Cobb for my WRX where its married to the ECU?

So 1 dongle and it must be in the car to use that tune so you cant just by 1 dongle and use it on all your cars?

so im paying $750 for the VR30DDTT key and then i can use it as much as i want for that car?

I would email them for the info you require and if/how they support your car with setup and features 

There's also a ton of YouTube vids with ECUTek stuff out there as well

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
