If anyone is on a budget and needs to decide between headers or the tune go with the tune. I got uel headers with stage 2+ and love it but the difference from stock to stage 1 was the biggest difference I thought. Stage 1 to stage 2+ was definitely noticeable but not as much. Huge difference for just 500 bucks
My FRS has all the exhaust upgrades and I get great pops at 4000 RPM without the backfire tune. My question is when you change the variables, does it apply to all tunes? Or each tune you need a new specific off set? Its winter, running Stage 2 plus, when warm, wanting to go back to e-85. Please and thank you.
Hi!!! I wanted to ask for advice if possible. I have a scion FRS 2014 I saw your video on this tune. I had a spec d exhaust before, (bought the car used, it came with it). And I got used catless UEL headers on. After the install, the car was a lot slower than before, and I got a used OFT, to do the stage 2+ tune. I also got a cold air intake. The tune made it better, but it’s was a lot quicker before the headers, tune and cold air intake I have little to no experience doing this. And I’ve seen people’s say that it takes about 50 miles for the tune to set in. Others say that the cold air intake is causing the issue (the tune specs say to use the stock air box, I didn’t realize this). Do you know anything about this? Would it make it better if I remove the CAÍ? Any guidance would be greatly appreciate 🙏
Hi there if I go do -15 for pops and bangs but I have mxp mufflers and stock front pipe but I have UEL catless will it blow up my cat and muffler packing????
hey dude .. i'd like to have a pop tune on my gt86 my2017 ... i have stock engine but i have aftermark air filter and exhaust completely free from catalysts ... hks manifold ... bliz and greddy hoses and fiunale ark performance. .. can you help me make the map? I would like that when I go on the limiter at 7k rpm it gives me a good bang but no machine gun effect
Okay so I’m new to all of this my car has never been tuned can I just plug this in and do all that? Also my car currently has invidia n2 cat back with no muffler and jdl uel catless headers do go straight to stage 2?
haha yeah it looks like it up, but its really just a mod my brother did that makes it work almost like a hydraulic brake. Basically its not engaged unless you are tugging it all the way up, and the button doesn't lock it in.
Hey i have a quick question when ever you guys were rebuilding the car or fixing it up was it salvage and if so whats the whole process with the inspection..i ask because ive been thinking about getting a brz my self but idk how the process is
Jesus Banuelos it all depends on your state. Here in PA you take it to a shop that does inspection and all they do is take pictures of it and send to the dmv. As long as it “looks” fixed on the pictures then you can register it right away. Some states are a lot stricter tho
Do you have a stock intake? I have a Mishimoto intake and a catted header. I'm planning on using the stage 2 off the shelf tune from OFT and was wondering if that would mess up the car..
It will work but your backfire will be less noticeable since you have catted headers, don't make your tune more aggressive or you'll just blow your cat out.
What kinda lap top requirements are needed. To only run a lap top for tuning with rom raider and open flash? Will a cheap 4 gb ram laptop work 🤔 or do you need a 8 gb ram
Yes I’m on a catback exhaust as long as you change your ignition timing in the charts if you follow along with the video you will have pops but for backfire(flames) you need a front pipe
Fixed it. If it helps anyone, the cause of the issue was Oculus rift was using the port rom raider uses and it thought it was already open from the port being connected to something. Go into CMD and type in "netstat -anb -p TCP" and look for a instance taking up a bunch of ports and close that with task manger.
Different stages are different tune maps for different exhaust setups. For example stage 1 is stock headers, stage 2 is catted headers (headers with catalytic converter), stage 2+ is uncatted headers.
So this can be done on any stage bin file - would i be safe to use this video (you seem to have used stage 1) for the stage 2 bin file for my invidia N1 + PSR UEL headers ?
I’ve been thinking that, I think it would be fine, NA cars can only put down so much power without force induction, so you’d probably be fine if you haven’t done it already
At the top left corner of rom raider click on definition and manage definitions and then add the OFT.xml file that you downloaded from the open flash website and apply and save and it should allow you to open your tunes
I got rom raider downloaded but its telling me I need to update it. I'm so confused now. It takes me to a forum with 30 links. Any ideas? Been following this video and its been working until then. Appreciate it.
@@adamali4948 yeah the problem I'm having is I really can't get catless, best I can do is aftermarket catted. I don't really want flames kinda backfires, I just want a pop sound, eg when shifting gears for example
@@AleterixT You can get some pops if you get a catless front pipe and axle back exhaust ( muffler ), I have an Invidia catless frontpipe and Q300 muffler on my BRZ and I can hear some pops in first to second gear change.
@@saulespino2510 ooo bet I assume taking the secondary cat off won't affect emissions nor make it obnoxiously loud, I guess I'll try that then. Thank you!
man you don't need to shift so agressivly, just fucks up the syncros. If you wanna shift faster you need a lighter flywheel and wait for the rpms to come down.

This is the only video that actually helped me
best vid in regards to pop and backfire tunes! aswell as setting up the oft for our platform TILL THIS DAY!
Awesome video guys. Please do how to remove the speed governor. I'll appreciated a lot.
Mans launched the car with handbrake on 😅 but bro your video is awesome thanks for the help

Finally, someone who explains the process in detail, only question is where do you plug in the cord to connect to the car
Cap
@@GerardLESC how so?
It’s to the bottom right of the steering wheel
This is the best video out there. Amazing and helpful
Im curious at to the tuning differences from stage 1 vs 2 im guessing the car could handle the extra timing with factory header
Lotta work for someone who isnt computer savvy 😂
bro you go a whole gaming setup lol
Haha it’s for “work” ;)
Roman’s Garage I bet is for programming, editing your videos. Also what type of computer is it?
richard derkach hah primarily yes but I definitely use it for gaming. I built this one myself so it doesn’t really have a brand lol
Roman’s Garage yes I could tell you use it for gaming I saw the controller 😂 but anyway I liked the video
I can't find the launch control, my ALPHA BRZ is in a different place with a whole lot listed under it

November 2023 here and the website is completely changed. I cannot find the tunes and proceed with the check-out process any help is appreciated!!🙏
I thought there we tunes already on the tablet. I have to to download them from the internet? Lol
u just download them directly from the website, they provide a wire in ur box to plug into ur PC so u can download them onto ur oft
Sounds awesome!
Lucas Martínez Parra thanks bro
@@romagrigorenko You're welcome. I'll stay tuned for more.

Hey there man hopefully you see this but is this method still viable in 2024 ?the website and the off the shelf and the download part of it
Just curious if this works with an auto Toyota 86 and if there is much maintenance that comes with the stage 1 tune? Any help is greatly appreciated 😁
Yes it should work with an auto. There shouldn't be any changes to maintenance unless maybe changing your oil slightly more often.
Romraider keeps saying “ecu definition not found”
what did you do to the interior to get all the grey plastic carbon? is it just wrapped or is that actual new pieces?
I have Tomei catless headers but I have the stock front pipe would I be able to run a light pop tune safely
Did you find an answer to this?
did you have to download java? or has anyone else download java?
I just got an Open flash tablet but I'm having trouble getting it to link to my computer and communicate with the tablet have you had any troubles
Can you go E85 on catted headers
Ok I have trouble getting the definition manager to show up there. How do I get that?
Nice step by step!
What exactly does the launch part do? Am confusion
Hi there if I go do -15 for pops and bangs but I have mxp mufflers and stock front pipe but I have UEL catless will it blow up my cat and muffler packing????
Do you need to be a cat less to. Make brz pops ?

Bruh 10:55 peep that ebreak
haha yeah it looks like it up, but its really just a mod my brother did that makes it work almost like a hydraulic brake. Basically its not engaged unless you are tugging it all the way up, and the button doesn't lock it in.
Best oft video
at around what RPMs were you able to get some pops when had this tune?
Any update on romaine issue ?
Your wheels are nice, what are they called?

@@jesusbanuelos8 no, i get them from auctions. so you just go off pictures and then live bid on the car
So I’m thinking about installing unequal length headers, I have a cat back, but stock mid pipes and cat SO technically would that be stage 1 or 2
if you have the UEL headers than stage 2, if not then stage 1.
How to make pop while driving?
I have question I can’t find the MXL folders
I am stuck on that. And I can’t figure it out
Do you have a stock intake? I have a Mishimoto intake and a catted header. I'm planning on using the stage 2 off the shelf tune from OFT and was wondering if that would mess up the car..
Should work, they have a file for catted headers (for frs)
It will work but your backfire will be less noticeable since you have catted headers, don't make your tune more aggressive or you'll just blow your cat out.

4gb would be plenty.

Can I still get the pops and backfires with just a catback exhaust?
Yes I’m on a catback exhaust as long as you change your ignition timing in the charts if you follow along with the video you will have pops but for backfire(flames) you need a front pipe
@@gcpatriots8358 have you changed your headers aswell?
Anyone else's rom raider saying "rom raider already running". I looked in the task manager and its not open in the background.

What does stage 1 do? How much hp does it add?
10-15
0:04 size tires ?
I wanna do this but I’m so confused, what do the different stages mean? How do I upgrade to them
Different stages are different tune maps for different exhaust setups. For example stage 1 is stock headers, stage 2 is catted headers (headers with catalytic converter), stage 2+ is uncatted headers.
N1 cat back + psr unequal length headers and catted front pipes would be fine with just a stage 2 tune from OFT with everything else stock ?
Are you sure both timing a & b? also what if we put a higher number like -15
Ur shit finna blow up
Do you do the tunes for sale too ? What’s your ig
Is it possible to make it so you can switch tunes on the fly or do you have to flash every time you’re trying to switch?
if you want to do tunes on the fly you have to get ecutek it's about $1300
How can I do it with stage 2 with e85?
So this can be done on any stage bin file - would i be safe to use this video (you seem to have used stage 1) for the stage 2 bin file for my invidia N1 + PSR UEL headers ?
I’ve been thinking that, I think it would be fine, NA cars can only put down so much power without force induction, so you’d probably be fine if you haven’t done it already
I’m currently running it vanilla now and been enjoying it for about 9ish months now :D
I’m having a problem downloading it evey time i download it and I launch it I never have the ECU definition I just have the definition help plz

@@wazeemkhan4906 thank you so much and you can’t run stage 2 and the back fire ? And one more question when does back fire the most what gear and rpm
Is it safe to run on a stock 86 with all stock headers and exhaust?
there’s no noticeable difference with stock headers & exhaust. you most likely won’t get burble because there’s cats & mufflers
Boy he is asking if its safe or not , what are you talking about? Lol
it is safe but you'll end up being catless very quickly.
I got rom raider downloaded but its telling me I need to update it. I'm so confused now. It takes me to a forum with 30 links. Any ideas? Been following this video and its been working until then. Appreciate it.
Scott Schatzberg same problem here
Either of you figure it out? Can’t find one for my car
@@grimdark2740 anyone figure this out?
Would a stage 1 tune with the oft and backfires work on a automatic transmission? I'm on stock headers and stock CAT's.
tbh i doubt it will pop much with stock header and CATS. Ours only started poping nice once we did headers with no cats
No point doing it with stock headers unless you wanna blow out your cats before you hear any backfire.
@@adamali4948 yeah the problem I'm having is I really can't get catless, best I can do is aftermarket catted. I don't really want flames kinda backfires, I just want a pop sound, eg when shifting gears for example

man you don't need to shift so agressivly, just fucks up the syncros. If you wanna shift faster you need a lighter flywheel and wait for the rpms to come down.
does it not come pre-installed with off the shelf tunes?
It does, he just modified one for backfires
Some times you have to manually upload them to the device, takes some time but not hard.
Where did you get your MXL
I had the same problem, on the oft website where you get the ots tune it’ll be 4 bin files and 1 xml file
I need help
If I have trd exhaust uel catted headers and greedy intake what stage should I install
stage 2
Is it safe for an automatic?
Yes.
But if you dont have catless headers i would avoid this and go for a Throttle Controller instead until youre modded.
