Ok, so I know that FBT uses the Apexi SAFC (which I know nothing about), but I just saw the vendor announcement for their Hyper ECU, which sounds like they are launching it for half price during MTTS.

MTTS is quite a bit out of the way for me, but if someone (please!) can fill me in on this in time, I'd be willing to make the drive up to get the hook-up.

So anyone have any info on this product? $300 for a good ecu product is pretty darn good.

 

I would also like a more info on this, and if it will make it to Lime Rock.

 

How does the FBT ECU differ from the MTH tuner file with regard to timing, A/F, rev limit, DSC, etc?

 

link?

 

What if MTTS has already left Dallas =(

 

Exactly! Arizona is long gone.

 

Bump for more info, and if it will be at Lime Rock.

 

BUMP

 

I'm doing the legs from Kings Dominion to DC and to NJ. I hope to see FBT and get info on this as well.

 

Would like to know as well... I missed my chance... I hope they extend the offer to those who missed out

 

Yeah, I even talked to Tim in Vegas and Flagstaff with no mention made. And my wife was out of town so I could have spent $300 without her knowing it! Um...did I say that out loud?
Tim...you gonna extend the offer a little? I'll be in LA next month.

 

Agro, I didn't hear anything.

I sent FBT a PM with the link to this thread.

 

^ Thank you! I'd love to hear what FBT has to say about this product. For a ECU reflash, $300 is pretty reasonable, but being able to customize parameters would be a priority for a good number of us.

 

Indeed. Especially after reading Dr Obnxs' article in MC2 #3 about ECU upgrades.

 

what's the deal? These canned maps for specific mods, or do your guys drive around in the car to tune part throttle as well....

I've been looking forward to your release, but would like to know more than the name....

The Apexi SAFC is a piggy back computer. Primarily used to control the air fuel mixture.

 

before they'd hacked the ECU.

Matt

 

so no news yet, huh?
would love to know the deal for sure. hopefully, some one will shed some light soon.

 

Isn't FBT on the road with the MTTS crew? If so, that would make Internet access a bit sketchy at best and explain the lack of immediate response.

 

but they had enought time to make a post with almost no info in it! Now, that's marketing!

Matt

 

Almost like a MINI-themed Woot BOC or MacZot MysteryZot.

We're not going to tell you anything about it, but it's really awesome and at a really great price. (and only for those people who are on the last legs of MTTS! West Coasters, SOL! )

 

The Wired Magazine bus that is doing the entire trip gives everyone open net access. Stoopidgirl is doing her MotorTrend blog from the road. Net access is most definately doable.
And the Fireballed site still says the hyper ECU is "coming soon".

 

It's actually still a very viable option for a unintrusive and highly tunable setup. Not to mention it's a whole lot easier to turn it off if it seems to be causing problems. Can't really turn off an ECU flash too easily.

 

but it only does A/F stuff.

Also, if you've ever been an MTH customer, you already have the stuff to re-load the stock map!

Is this ECU going to be a simple reflash? Or will it be like the Unichip with a user-tuning function? FBT, where are you!!!!
