Will you lose the tune, if the battery dies? Do you need to change any of the parts to run the e85, or can we run it with the stock injectors/fuel pump?
no the tune is stored in the system memory in place of the stock map. And read your frs owners manual. It says to never use E85. nothing more then 10% ethanol. The fuel system isnt flex fuel capable and would require modification for longevity. E85 will literally gum up your fuel pump and filter if it gets to cold or sits to long even in flex fuel cars. If your fuel system isnt designed to run the gasaohol it will dry out your rubber seals and corrode the alloys not treated to run the high alcohol content fuel. Gasaohol also inherently retains water and can settle in your tank to unexpectedly cause stalling or worse. If you are building a purpose based race car E85 can be a good option as you use it up fast so it doesnt sit in your tank\fuel system as long overall and can be flushed with a tank of premium. You are better off using a tune with high octane and sticking to that if its a daily .
I like mine. Been running the Stage 2+ w/e85 for almost a year and no problems at all :) only have a full exhaust system, and a drop in filter; and the car feels like a different beast, and such a blast to drive. No torque dip, and it pulls so hard to red line in every gear :D
@@animated8623 if you have the answer to this question can you lmk, I’ve been wanted to go e85 and I’m not sure if I need new fuel lines or injectors or anything like that
@@dylangates908 nah bro you dont need fuel injectors for e85 unless you have a turbo or supercharger. if youre stock you can run e85 on the stock headers. i did that for a few months no problem, then i got UEL catless headers and i run e85 way more often than 91. you just gotta follow directions for putting in e85
I just got mine. Stock exhaust + AVO tubroworld intake pipe + Greddy intake Inlet = basically a stock setup. I can fell a big difference, the car finally pushes me back into my seat. I love it! I cant wait for headers and an exhaust.
My oft came with tunes on them already. From what i heard it doesnt come with it. Do i have a used one? I didnt have to do no calibration no nothing. It was a simple plug and play. Am i doubting myself or did i spend 500 for a use unit?
The biggest change I noticed with a stock 86 and the stage 1 tune was a distinct softening of the throttle response at the very bottom end making moving off from a stop (manual car) much easier and less jerky. The torque dip is definitely less noticeable, but it feels like the middle of the dip isn’t as bad and the start and end of the dip is less pronounced. It’s still there but you can almost start to ignore it. Top end feels slightly better but I think it’s more to do with the extended redline the stage one gives you. All in all the stage one tune on a stock 86 feels a little muddier down low and a bit looser up high, that sounds bad, but it makes for an easier driving experience for sure. The stock tune feels robotic and the dip is like falling off a cliff.
@@Aaron-fb6mb yeah, it bumps the rev limiter up by a couple hundred rpm, cant remember off the top of my head what the numbers are exactly but it’s like 6,300 rpm redline to 6,500 or something like that.

Hi!!! I wanted to ask for advice if possible. I have a scion FRS 2014 I saw your video on uel headers and oft 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 🙏
I'm running on the same device, it's called Xtrons Android Radio. Newest version is the PB78HGTP on Android 8. Fully functional Android tablet, I recommend it highly
I am running the stage one tune with an Borla cat back. On 93 octane Less torque dip, better throttle response and more top end. Not a huge difference more like what the car SHOULD have been from the factory. On E85 it is like taking an GTI engine and stuffing it in the BRZ. The torque dip feels like it is gone the car just pulls from 2500 rpm to the fuel cut off. Way more mid range punch. Best $500 I have ever spent on a car. On E85 the BRZ runs much cooler on a hot day. The only downside is a slight residence or ring at 4000 rpm and a slight dip in fuel economy power equals fuel + air on 93 octane. On E85 there is about an 20% dip in fuel economy. You get at least an 15% increase in wheel hp.
I have purchased a OFT V2 and when I attempted to write the tune onto my ECU both the read and write options were grayed out. I attempted to download the tune off of their website to add to the tablet and upload it to my ECU. There was no calibration code that matched mine.
Do you know where I can get the original ecu data. bought the car with the tablet but I dont have his original data. Need to pass ref test, because smog caught the aftermarket ecu data. (2014 scion frs) need help please
I have the axel back exhaust from you guys and stage 1 tune from OFT . i did a videos on the sound and left a good review on your website but it has never posted.... this was a couple weeks ago, how longe to get a good review of your products posted? thought it might help people one the fence about a axel back like i was.... I am very happy i bit the built on it and did it with out any reviews or videos of one on the new 2017 86.
Just ordered this. Will an aftermarket EL header fix the remainder of the torque dip issue or do I have to go UEL in order to get rid of it entirely? Also, what’s the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 on this? I assume there’s a power increase, but if the stock header is catted already, would I be able to Stage 2 on the stock header or do I have to get an aftermarket one for it?
Welp i ordered one and all mine does is when I hook up the obd2 a small tablet icon with a black screen is all that comes on anyone else have this problem how to fix?
So all you need is OFT to tune your GT86 without visiting the performance garages. Pls correct me if am wrong also I reside in UK and is it available for delivery.
Just got mine n I had the gray out problem he was talking about.....the biggest problem is that today is a Saturday and there not open....so now I play the waiting game
Hi Thomas I’m running psr catless headers and psr over-pipe , with an N1 Exhaust , I’m looking to run E85 , I’ve also just purchased the new v2 OFT , I was just wondering which tune do I load up after I Read the Factory Setting , Thanks
Edwin Lee Probably. Check your product info, it would tell you catless or not... if it looms like some pretty skinny piping with no big bumps in it, most likely
Just bought an OFT v1, and when I try turning my key to accessory after plugging in the OFT it sets off my car alarm? I have 2 key fobs and a valet key, should i be using a different key, or is there another solution for this problem?
Mulling over whether to get one of these hence watching old TH-cam clips, I've got a Perrin CAI to go on, and deciding on headers after that. I'm assuming you can tune for CAI and intake tubes to make sure it isn't running too lean too?
I was actually sent the version 1 somehow and sent it back. Just reordered, should be here Friday. I hope the stage 1 tunes are preloaded. Makes me a bit nervous if I need to hook it up to my computer to download them. I'd like the first time using it to go easily. We shall see and I will give my unbiased opinion.
Emailed your team about the calibration code for my 2020 86 and still haven't heard back from them even though it says maximum 24 hours for detailed response. I dont want to drive my car without the tune as I put on a uel header and Im fed up with waiting. Please get back to me.
I have a stock brz. Im running muffler delete y pipe and i cut off the resonator with a 2.5 inch pipe. Do you recommend the tune with the straight pipe or should i put the resonator back on?
I can't find any info that tuning a '17+ car, which got improved factory header and tuning, does anything more than 3-4 HP/torque, even with a catless header. Sounds like a lot of expense/trouble for a mid rev "torque dip" that can be fixed with a downshift.
They just updated the Off the shelf tunes: "Toyota GT86 Off-The-Shelf (OTS) Tune Files (v4.03) UPDATED 4/09/18" Check out... www.openflashtablet.com/downloads/ I haven't downloaded them yet, but I imagine they probably have a "readme" or "release notes" file like the last set of download files.
I've had the OFT v1 for a little over a year on my '15 BRZ. IMHO it is worth it. The stage 1 tune does fill in the torque dip a little bit and you feel a little more power at top end. Thomas is right: at first its difficult to tell whether the stage 1 tune does anything substantial. It does not generate Godlike Gobs of Horse Power but it does improve driveability by bumping up the torque curve throughout the rev range partly filling ing the bottom of the torque dip. Drive for awhile on stage 1 and when you reflash to OEM tune for a service visit your butt dyno will miss the driveabilty it adds. Last fall I installed the FT86 Catted UEL Header (overpipe back is stock) and I've been using the 91 and 93 octane Stage 2 tunes. This you definitely feel: the torque dip is GONE, torque is pretty much increased from idle all the way to redline. No longer embarrassed at stop lights. No more downshifting from 6th to 3rd (unless you really want to!). Yes, the OFT works and I recommend it even if you don't do any other mods. It improves driveability that much. But this is all by my Butt Dyno, I'd really like to see some real power/torque dyno charts of OEM stock headers, catted and un-catted UEL/EL headers, etc. (Hint, Hint FT-86: my hometown is about the same altitude as Des Moines. YOUR dyno chart ought to approximate my results!)
...and yes, they've upgraded the tunes. There no longer are seperate UEL, EL header tunes, no longer seperate 91 and 93 octane tunes. For octane, the tune automatically adjusts the ignition advance multiplier (IAM) for 91 through 94 octane. After the install, I ran the real time display and true to their word the IAM started at 0.7 and quickly settled out at 1.0 (I run 93 octane exclusively). Release notes just say they no longer differentiate between UEL and EL headers, with no other explanation. But my guess is that their efforts to optimize tunes for each header style eventually converged into one that that was optimum for both. (or the two tunes were so close that swapping them made no difference.)
daduncker stage 2 as in still NA, but no cats. The tuner is definitely worth it, and add in a UEL and that torque dip is gone. Or an EL plus E85 and get mad top end. My friend has a stock FRS and i hate being in it, feels like it's broken compared to mine, like a super dirty MAF or potato stuck in the intake tube.
Currently my FT86 has installed EL tomei header, GReddy full exhaust system, and Custom open pot knn air intake, can i run OTS stage 2 plus tune? Because someone told me that the stage 2 plus tune only can apply with the stock air intake.
@@Aaron-fb6mb it actually improved it bro i would suggest cleaning the fuel injectors when you get 2 gallons left my car gives me 29 mpg average it has stage 1 tune with a cold air intake if you want better fuel economy instead of the cold air the hot air intake will help with that but will decrease the power
@@j.r.3717 k&n i ran into issues with the ecu when i went back to original tune any intake should be good but for my state k&n is the only legal one i am planning on going Supercharged next year with the edlebrock supercharger
I had a feeling OFT was going to come out with a newer version. But what's the difference in tunes? Only difference I saw was the appearance, and slight boot up time.
Pretty much nothing from what I gather. Although I believe this one works with the newer 86/brz line (17+). I believe it's just an updated version of their version 1 OFT which as mentioned, has been discontinued for a little while now.
A tune is a tune, that will not change. The system itself was just updated, so if you reflash often trying to eliminate knock or fiddle for that perfect a/f ratio, this could be helpful in reducing flash times. That's about it though. And the 1st gen oft worked on 17+ as well, it just took forever for shiv to release the tunes.
This is the message from Shiv himself from OpenFlash Performance facebook page: "New v4.01 Beta tunes now available for all USDM GT86s. These tunes have all sorts of update include cold start delete, remapped throttle tables, revised engine load limits, fully supported data logging channels and a default advance multiplier of 0.70 instead of the usual 1.0. This allows for learning ability based upon octane. Make sure you use a PREMIUM grade fuel because these tunes are aggressive and run strong! New OpenFlash Manager (v1.31) is also available for download as well"
there's no reason it shouldn't. it only affects the engine control unit, not the transmission control module. If you want to double check you can go on ft86 forum
I got the FT speed headers installed, Now I want to add the K&N Typhoon intake, will the stage 2 tune keep the check engine light off or will I need another tune for the new intake? THANKS
Anyone know if you can use this tuner with a supercharger kit? On the OpenFlash Performance website it mentions something about ordering custom e-tunes so could you get a supercharger installed then order a tune from them with this?
Wait what if I have a intake as well I am in Japan and most the shops here wont touch my usdm ft86 cuz of ecu issues and all the companies only have maps for jdm gt86 so I need to buy a oft or I cant unlock more power T_T
I emailed them about the write function not working and how to fix it but nothing, I spend 500 dollars and the fucking thing doesn't work wtf is that???
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????
would be nice to see back to back dyno runs, real dyno, not butt dyno. why isn't there and E85 catted header tune? what else do you need to do to the car to run E85? how does this compare to the ecutek? v1 you clearly stated ecutek was more advanced, is this still the case?
Kuromurasaki Zero The tunes themselves havn’t changed. This is basically the exact same but with a faster boot time, bigger screen and more pixels. If EcuTek was more advanced then, it still is now.
You can if you'd like. There are engine parameters you can view while driving or unplug it and stash it in the glove box till you need it next. Really up to you.
Which stage do you select if you have a catless header but with a cat in the midpipe and a second oxygen sensor mounted downstream of it? Stage 2 catted or catless header?
Kind of a dumb question, but will it be fine to run the Stage 2+ with E85 catted? Or does it have to be catless as said towards the end of the video? Does is matter? I never used one of these...
Shiv send me the new tablet for my european BRZ and i've tried it yesterday and she's really fast to read my ECU and install the Stage 1. I'm waiting for new files :)
Planning to buy the V2. Do I need to get a flexfuel kit for me to use the Stage 2+ E85? If no, will the E85 cause harm to the pipes/railings? Also, I am currently custom tuned. Do I need to go back to the stock tuning before running the OFT? Thanks!
I know in the owners manual it says tot avoid using ethanol gas with a rating higher than 10% as it can do damage to the fuel system. It has to do with the corrosiveness of the gasahol to the seals and other components. Unless your fuel system is specifically set up to run e85 I wouldnt do it regardless of what the kids on here will tell you. It really is some nasty stuff and can gum up your fuel pump and filter. if it gets real cold. Just find ya some high octane gas . I have a few stations where I live where you can get up to 110 octane gas...at the pump ! It is soooo expensive though.
I don't have the ft86 delete but I do have one and the noise level is very noticeable. It does sounds pretty bad ass but you will make enemies of your neighborhood if you start your car up after 10pm. It's really loud. I think i will have to put my stock muffler back on when I get UEL headers
If you're going catless you will want a muffler. It will be obscene otherwise. I think noise is good, I don't think loud for the sake of noise is good.
Straight piped all the way is loud. Like, louder than Nascar loud. My friend heard me several blocks away, was outside waiting for me when i got to his house.
People, think for a minute: what could they possibly change in the tablet's hardware that would allow it to hold different tunes on it? All the OFT does is exchange some data on the car for some on it's own storage
Hey guys I need some help, I bought an 2013 scion frs manual and the guy who sold it to me with a illegal tune. I can't pass smog in Cali. I was wondering if it's a good idea getting the open flash to change it to stock tune
well you would have had to have the stock tune saved on the tablet before hand. but if you do get one im sure there's stock tune setup tutorials somewhere. try looking it up on the ft86 forum

>pedal dance mode

I’m looking to run E85 , I’ve also just purchased the new v2 OFT , I was just wondering which tune do I load up after I Read the Factory Setting , Thanks
Would this work on an automatic?
Yes it does
I need an updated video on this!!! Hope you guys see this comment
What shifter is that? Is there a short shifter added too? If so what did u have install?
I recently bought the OFT V2 , and a Borla Uel Header. So the tune i have to go, would be stage 2+ right?
Edwin Lee Probably. Check your product info, it would tell you catless or not... if it looms like some pretty skinny piping with no big bumps in it, most likely
Do you have to leave it plugged in or can you install the tune and unplug the device?
nObLe_Xx you can unplug it. Only time u need it in the whole time is if u want real time display of your throttle response percentage, ruel/air etc
I just got my brz but it was previously tuned with a oft also. How would I go back to stock if I wanted to?
I was installing flash tablet in stock but before I got in the selection point stage 1 stage 2 my wear was plugged out and now it's not reading now!
Do you have to keep the oft connected to the car?
This is a Toys R Us tablet. You guys couldn't make one that looks similar to Cobb. This thing looks like it's from 2003.
Just bought an OFT v1, and when I try turning my key to accessory after plugging in the OFT it sets off my car alarm? I have 2 key fobs and a valet key, should i be using a different key, or is there another solution for this problem?
Mulling over whether to get one of these hence watching old TH-cam clips, I've got a Perrin CAI to go on, and deciding on headers after that.
I'm assuming you can tune for CAI and intake tubes to make sure it isn't running too lean too?
Just got confirmation that my 2.0 is on the way...anxious. I hope it's worth it.
Was it worth it? I just ordered mine today
chino76 was it worth it? Considering one
I was actually sent the version 1 somehow and sent it back. Just reordered, should be here Friday. I hope the stage 1 tunes are preloaded. Makes me a bit nervous if I need to hook it up to my computer to download them. I'd like the first time using it to go easily. We shall see and I will give my unbiased opinion.
@@666Valo777 did you do it?
Emailed your team about the calibration code for my 2020 86 and still haven't heard back from them even though it says maximum 24 hours for detailed response. I dont want to drive my car without the tune as I put on a uel header and Im fed up with waiting. Please get back to me.
I have a stock brz.
Im running muffler delete y pipe and i cut off the resonator with a 2.5 inch pipe.
Do you recommend the tune with the straight pipe or should i put the resonator back on?
I can't find any info that tuning a '17+ car, which got improved factory header and tuning, does anything more than 3-4 HP/torque, even with a catless header. Sounds like a lot of expense/trouble for a mid rev "torque dip" that can be fixed with a downshift.
i’m gonna buy one, i have a 2018 gt86
Did it work with your 18?
ive tried eveything but cant manage to rotate the screen on the oft 2.0 someone help?
Chris Rojas manage to sort it out?
New OFT but what actually matters is the maps.
Androcles Gooch which likely haven’t really been updated since initial release.
they have been updated since initial release
They just updated the Off the shelf tunes: "Toyota GT86 Off-The-Shelf (OTS) Tune Files (v4.03) UPDATED 4/09/18" Check out... www.openflashtablet.com/downloads/
I haven't downloaded them yet, but I imagine they probably have a "readme" or "release notes" file like the last set of download files.
So to work the tuner need to be plugged in at all times?
no just to upload tune then its saved to ecu
I've had the OFT v1 for a little over a year on my '15 BRZ. IMHO it is worth it. The stage 1 tune does fill in the torque dip a little bit and you feel a little more power at top end. Thomas is right: at first its difficult to tell whether the stage 1 tune does anything substantial. It does not generate Godlike Gobs of Horse Power but it does improve driveability by bumping up the torque curve throughout the rev range partly filling ing the bottom of the torque dip. Drive for awhile on stage 1 and when you reflash to OEM tune for a service visit your butt dyno will miss the driveabilty it adds.
Last fall I installed the FT86 Catted UEL Header (overpipe back is stock) and I've been using the 91 and 93 octane Stage 2 tunes. This you definitely feel: the torque dip is GONE, torque is pretty much increased from idle all the way to redline. No longer embarrassed at stop lights. No more downshifting from 6th to 3rd (unless you really want to!). Yes, the OFT works and I recommend it even if you don't do any other mods. It improves driveability that much.
But this is all by my Butt Dyno, I'd really like to see some real power/torque dyno charts of OEM stock headers, catted and un-catted UEL/EL headers, etc. (Hint, Hint FT-86: my hometown is about the same altitude as Des Moines. YOUR dyno chart ought to approximate my results!)
...and yes, they've upgraded the tunes. There no longer are seperate UEL, EL header tunes, no longer seperate 91 and 93 octane tunes. For octane, the tune automatically adjusts the ignition advance multiplier (IAM) for 91 through 94 octane. After the install, I ran the real time display and true to their word the IAM started at 0.7 and quickly settled out at 1.0 (I run 93 octane exclusively).
Release notes just say they no longer differentiate between UEL and EL headers, with no other explanation. But my guess is that their efforts to optimize tunes for each header style eventually converged into one that that was optimum for both. (or the two tunes were so close that swapping them made no difference.)
Etoine Schrdlu what mods do you need to add to your car so you can use the stage 2 oft ?
@@infinitig3549 I just added a catted UEL header.
Still waiting for a email response from your team. I'm one of the few people who can't "write" ... couple extra steps...
I just ordered one. 😉
YamaR6/ScionFRS hey let me know if it's worth it im thinking about getting it for my frs
Definitely worth it guys. Running Stage 2+. Makes the WORLD of difference if your not looking to turbo. The car should come this way from factory.
Stage 2 frs? With a pocket flash tuner? That's hilarious
daduncker blah blah blah
daduncker stage 2 as in still NA, but no cats. The tuner is definitely worth it, and add in a UEL and that torque dip is gone. Or an EL plus E85 and get mad top end. My friend has a stock FRS and i hate being in it, feels like it's broken compared to mine, like a super dirty MAF or potato stuck in the intake tube.
Hi I have ft86 uel catted headers greedy intake and trd exhaust what tune do you recommend.
Sales pitch don’t respond to anyone’s comments.
Who’s BRZ in the back because I’m pretty sure that’s mine
Does the tune still hold when you unplug it? Or do you need to leave it plugged in.
no need to keep it plugged in
Currently my FT86 has installed EL tomei header, GReddy full exhaust system, and Custom open pot knn air intake, can i run OTS stage 2 plus tune? Because someone told me that the stage 2 plus tune only can apply with the stock air intake.
I am having a issue with grey write button and I emailed them Friday and it's Tuesday 😖
Nahu Aviles did they get back to you? Because same thing happened to me and I'm wondering how to fix it but they wont reply
Did you ever figure it out?
Have this problem too. Just got mine today
Akoro _ yo bro, it’s super easy to fix. Search up kaz hirouji. I think that’s his last name lol. He explains it in his video of the oft
I got mine yesterday it works great except that you guys didn’t send no tracking info like it says on your guys receipt
Did you notice an mpg decrease or increase with this?
@@Aaron-fb6mb it actually improved it bro i would suggest cleaning the fuel injectors when you get 2 gallons left my car gives me 29 mpg average it has stage 1 tune with a cold air intake if you want better fuel economy instead of the cold air the hot air intake will help with that but will decrease the power
@@Fc0086 oh wow thanks man!
@@Fc0086 what cold air intake are you running? I’ve been thinking about just getting blitz drop in and then a perrin inlet tube.
@@j.r.3717 k&n i ran into issues with the ecu when i went back to original tune any intake should be good but for my state k&n is the only legal one i am planning on going Supercharged next year with the edlebrock supercharger
Hi, Can you run E85 stage 2+ without a header or just a catted header, If not, why is the uncatted necessary ?
those shifter throws are rly short, thats irp?
yeah
I had a feeling OFT was going to come out with a newer version.
But what's the difference in tunes? Only difference I saw was the appearance, and slight boot up time.
Pretty much nothing from what I gather. Although I believe this one works with the newer 86/brz line (17+).
I believe it's just an updated version of their version 1 OFT which as mentioned, has been discontinued for a little while now.
A tune is a tune, that will not change. The system itself was just updated, so if you reflash often trying to eliminate knock or fiddle for that perfect a/f ratio, this could be helpful in reducing flash times. That's about it though. And the 1st gen oft worked on 17+ as well, it just took forever for shiv to release the tunes.
This is the message from Shiv himself from OpenFlash Performance facebook page:
"New v4.01 Beta tunes now available for all USDM GT86s. These tunes have all sorts of update include cold start delete, remapped throttle tables, revised engine load limits, fully supported data logging channels and a default advance multiplier of 0.70 instead of the usual 1.0. This allows for learning ability based upon octane. Make sure you use a PREMIUM grade fuel because these tunes are aggressive and run strong!
New OpenFlash Manager (v1.31) is also available for download as well"
Old version works with 2017's they have a tune map for it, just have to ask.
Nothing but that... It's probably why they were fair enough to NOT raise the price at all.
Can the open flash tablet work on automatic transmissions?
there's no reason it shouldn't. it only affects the engine control unit, not the transmission control module. If you want to double check you can go on ft86 forum
there's something similar for obd1?
I have a catless invidia equal length header and I constantly get check engine lights (I have the high flow cat downstream). Will this correct it?
How much to get my car tuned? I got 2017 Toyota 86 with TRD intake and throttle booster. And no I'm not getting exhaust or headers
Mistaken my header as a catless and staged it 2+. Will anything happen? I should be able to just go back and change it to stage 2 right?
I got the FT speed headers installed, Now I want to add the K&N Typhoon intake, will the stage 2 tune keep the check engine light off or will I need another tune for the new intake? THANKS
Anyone know if you can use this tuner with a supercharger kit? On the OpenFlash Performance website it mentions something about ordering custom e-tunes so could you get a supercharger installed then order a tune from them with this?
Wait what if I have a intake as well I am in Japan and most the shops here wont touch my usdm ft86 cuz of ecu issues and all the companies only have maps for jdm gt86 so I need to buy a oft or I cant unlock more power T_T
If you have an aftermarket intake it says you gotta get a "custom etune" and spend an extra 250$. OFT is so fuckin stupid
I emailed them about the write function not working and how to fix it but nothing, I spend 500 dollars and the fucking thing doesn't work wtf is that???
Snyderman3 did you ever get that fixed i have the same problem
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????
4 will work ok.
would be nice to see back to back dyno runs, real dyno, not butt dyno.
why isn't there and E85 catted header tune?
what else do you need to do to the car to run E85?
how does this compare to the ecutek? v1 you clearly stated ecutek was more advanced, is this still the case?
Kuromurasaki Zero The tunes themselves havn’t changed. This is basically the exact same but with a faster boot time, bigger screen and more pixels. If EcuTek was more advanced then, it still is now.
work bmw n52 328xi?
dose this work on the new 2022 brz?
Also known as, AKA
Do you leave it plugged in all the time??
You can if you'd like. There are engine parameters you can view while driving or unplug it and stash it in the glove box till you need it next. Really up to you.
I have a hks catback exhaust and tomei el header , which tune should I
Choose?
Stg2+
Could the dealer tell I flashed my car even after setting back to original tune?
Yes, on my tuner license it tells me how many times the person has flashed the car.
Which stage do you select if you have a catless header but with a cat in the midpipe and a second oxygen sensor mounted downstream of it? Stage 2 catted or catless header?
Your car sounds good.
Can this work on a Lexus is250 sport ??
Kind of a dumb question, but will it be fine to run the Stage 2+ with E85 catted? Or does it have to be catless as said towards the end of the video? Does is matter? I never used one of these...
I have 2020 86 hakone edition and this thing doesn't work at all
Did you get it working?
Toy story : you’re a toy 😂🤣
Shiv send me the new tablet for my european BRZ and i've tried it yesterday and she's really fast to read my ECU and install the Stage 1. I'm waiting for new files :)
Planning to buy the V2. Do I need to get a flexfuel kit for me to use the Stage 2+ E85? If no, will the E85 cause harm to the pipes/railings? Also, I am currently custom tuned. Do I need to go back to the stock tuning before running the OFT?
Thanks!
I know in the owners manual it says tot avoid using ethanol gas with a rating higher than 10% as it can do damage to the fuel system. It has to do with the corrosiveness of the gasahol to the seals and other components. Unless your fuel system is specifically set up to run e85 I wouldnt do it regardless of what the kids on here will tell you. It really is some nasty stuff and can gum up your fuel pump and filter. if it gets real cold. Just find ya some high octane gas . I have a few stations where I live where you can get up to 110 octane gas...at the pump ! It is soooo expensive though.
Those this void your factory warranty
Probably
Any chance of getting an audio comparison between the muffler delete and the stock exhaust?
I don't have the ft86 delete but I do have one and the noise level is very noticeable. It does sounds pretty bad ass but you will make enemies of your neighborhood if you start your car up after 10pm. It's really loud. I think i will have to put my stock muffler back on when I get UEL headers
If you're going catless you will want a muffler. It will be obscene otherwise.
I think noise is good, I don't think loud for the sake of noise is good.
Straight piped all the way is loud. Like, louder than Nascar loud. My friend heard me several blocks away, was outside waiting for me when i got to his house.
always wanted one, but not bad enough to spend $500 on
can you still buy it if you have no mods on your frs
like its fully stock besides air intake
People, think for a minute: what could they possibly change in the tablet's hardware that would allow it to hold different tunes on it? All the OFT does is exchange some data on the car for some on it's own storage
Berenger Christy it's not different tunes, it's just updated hardware, maybe some software tweaks.
Hey guys I need some help, I bought an 2013 scion frs manual and the guy who sold it to me with a illegal tune. I can't pass smog in Cali. I was wondering if it's a good idea getting the open flash to change it to stock tune
cali , colombia?
well you would have had to have the stock tune saved on the tablet before hand. but if you do get one im sure there's stock tune setup tutorials somewhere. try looking it up on the ft86 forum
