ive heard alot about these flash tuners and have looked them up..however what I read isnt really much help. can anyone give a break down simple version of a flash tuner. Ive got a standard BA so will this just be a pointless task? and for the programs what happens there?? Must sound like bit of a dumb question but I have no idea about these tuner boxes so if anyone could give me a break down on it all it would be greatly appreciated

your tuner box, will hold your 3 tunes, high boost, low boost and valet tune, when u purchase the flash box, it will come with the 3 generic tunes which is standard tunes, but to get the full potential of the software you take the box to your tuner, and he will custom make u 3 tunes suited to your car, you just plug the box in, choose what tune u wish to run and will download the data onto your car and away you go.. what information are you looking for specificly?

easy as that huh nice I guess the only down side is that I have to select which setting I want before I start my car and not while driving or whatever right? This box wouldnt be a waste of money for a standard engine right? I do want to add mods but if this will give me that bit more power now that would be awesome

yes, well probably just go with a generic tune and then do a dyno run to check AFRs to make sure its not leaning out. However, to do it properly a good 10psi custom tune is worthwhile on an otherwise standard car and far better than loading a cheaper generic.

bear in mind also that there are other means to tune that dont involve Flash tuners, such as HP Tuners.

yeh, but y wud u want to change the setting while driving? only takes less then 5 mins to swap over. but yeh, just got for a custom tune, should gain around 40rwkw from just a custom tune with no following mods.

the reason I want to change while driving is for say if I am following a car on open road id want to have the boost right up and not have it low. So if before I leave my home to go away somewhere I use the flash box to tune in a "fuel saving" or low boost program that's all good until I find myself behind a 90 year old women driving a suzuki swift. Id want high boost to pass her because she probably has like 100 cars behind her. But I have been thinking lately because mines auto you have a drive setting and a performance setting do you think the tune box would be able to program both of those? so I could have a high boost performance mode and a low boost normal drive mode?? Or would I have to go with the flash box and boost controller? (which ive heard the computers in the BA dont really work well with)

if u wana do that, get an eboost controller

You dont need a tuned XR6T to pass a Swift lol, but ive read that you can get piggy back systems which will have a "high boost" tune in it and because its essentially intercepting data to and from the ECU you can have a switch in your cabin to change from the tune to factory.

I forgot who does it but, a big tuning house in Sydney does it.

I have 370rwkw+ and drive that tune only. I get around 8.9 L/100km on the freeway and boot it when I need it. Simple really.

You dont need two tunes unless your scared someone else will drive it.

Your are right. A generic tune is a " one size fits all" solution, neither too economic nor powerful. A good tune done by a professional tune house will be suited to your car and give both economy and power when required
