is there anything special you gotta do for an ECU reflash? what exactly does a reflash do? just curious let me know if anyone has any info on that

thanks

 

what the reflash does is that it overwrites the stock ecu parameters to what ever your tuner decides to, in order to gain whp and wtq. it controls a/f ratio, ign timing, rev limit speed limit and vvti. it has been done on hondas, mitsubishi and subaru, but i havent seen it on toyota. its a cheaper way to tune the car...... i really would like to see it on a scion. if anyone has more info on this please share it

 

if i were you i would get and aftermarket ecu or piggy back because what toyota charges 600 bucks for reflash is crazy when u can find one on scionlife for cheaper but if your trying to stay under warranty then your gonna have to spend that much if your were going to the dealer.

 

^^ what they said.

Why do you need/want a reflash?

 

i dont need one. i was jus curious on what it would do and if its even neccessary. ive jus heard some ppl talkin bout it. so jus curious. thanks for the info tho. i appreciate it.
