Practical Reflash Tuning: Conclusion
Conclusion

00:00 | - So, by this point, you should have a completely tuned engine that provides good power and torque, good fuel economy, and good reliability. |
00:10 | Just as importantly, though, you should have a car that is smooth to drive, responds crisply to throttle input, and doesn't stall when pulling up to a stop. |
00:21 | For me, the sign of a well-tuned factory ECU is a car that drives exactly like stock while delivering improved performance. |
00:30 | This should always be our ultimate goal. |
00:34 | The process and steps outlined in this course so far have been generic, and, within reason, can be applied to any reflashing job. |
00:44 | In the next section, we're going to move into worked examples, where you'll be able to follow the tuning process through from start to finish, and see how the process is being put to use on a real car, on a real dyno. |
00:59 | While it's impossible for us to provide worked examples on every platform, you will find that there are certain consistencies across a certain platform of ECUs. |
01:11 | For example, the way the ECU works, and the tables available in a 2001 Version 7 Subaru Sti are very similar to those in the later model 2008 Version 11 Sti And for that matter, there are also many similarities carried across to the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 Platform, despite what is almost a completely different engine. |
01:39 | This means that knowledge gained on one particular ECU platform will often translate quite well to other platforms. |
01:48 | We will be adding further worked examples over time, and these will be available to you at no additional charge. |
01:55 | Remember, our forums are also there for you to ask any specific questions you have once you get started. |
