EcuTeK to increase its feature range PDF Print E-mail

EcuTeKIf you own a late model WRX, STi or Forester XT then we have great news for - EcuTeK will be releasing some major software functionality upgrades very soon.

What are these new features? Well how about this:

  • Flat foot shifting which is triggered by the clutch switch at any RPM
  • Downshift throttle blipping (just like the new Nissan 370Z)
  • Per gear boost control
  • Anti lag which features controlling of the throttle, boost, timing
  • Map Switch of:
    • Fuel
    • Ignition
    • Ignition Correction
    • Wastegate Duty
    • Desired Boost
    • Cam Angle (on STI models only)
  • Display of map switching mode using the Check Engine Light flashing as a code to tell you which mode the ECU is in
  • 3D Speed density (RPM vs MAP) replacement of Mass Air Flow 2D Map lookup
  • Launch Control (new for WRX and Forester XT) 
  • The only bad news is that not all WRX, STi and Forester XT models are compatible with the new features. Whilst the compatible model list is not 100% definitive yet, these new features should be available for the following Australian models:

    • MY06 Forester XT 
    • MY06 WRX
    • MY06 STi
    • MY07 Forester XT
    • MY07 WRX
    • MY07 STi
    • MY08 Forester XT 
    • MY08 WRX
    • MY09 WRX

    At this stage the MY08STi and the MY09 Forester have not been confirmed as being compatible for these new features, however we suspect that they will be and give an update as soon as it is confirmed.

    Watch the EcuTeK web site http://www.ecutek.com.au/for when the new software features are available from MRT and our resellers/partners.
