    Exclamation MRT - Ecutek for MPS released!! - October 09 Magazine

    Hi guys, i get the MRT magazine sent via email.

    Reading it i found this!

    Mazda MPS

    We have made big improvements on the access with EcuteK on the"old" MPS and had some excelent results with the ex-Mazda Australia race car. If you own a MPS 3 or MPS 6, please contact us as we are ready to work on your car. Check out the race car and new car pics here.

    The good news is we have been told by the UK head office that the new model is very similar, all we need now are some cars for the 2009 model as well!!!

    Any thoughts?

    Cheers

    EDIT-

    Ok so i just spoke to Rob from MRT. He said that the software is developed in the UK and they have cracked it sooner than they thought. He said they had a customer in the other day with an MPS who had a 'C Xede' :P attached, they removed it and re tuned with 'ECUTEK', it apparently made 1 few kw extra, earlier and on less boost.

    He said that they havnt got any hard facts and numbers as far as '15%' gain from X and X with a Tune etc but they will have when they start tuning more cars.

    He said they are ready and waiting to ECUTEK MPS's now, 3's and 6's. They appraenty havnt done a whole heap of them but they have tuned anough to get the idea that it competes (if not better) than what else is out there.
    He said its basically just like when I had my WRX ECUTEK tune done, same deal, they have the same access to ECU parameters etc.

    My brother just had his MY00 Forester ECUTEK tuned last week. Here are the Stats... (im not paid to start promoting ECUTEK by any means, just giving some facts below )

    First run- 91awkw (catback exhaust, K&N filter insert, no tuning)
    Second run- 111awkw (initial remap, no dyno tuning)
    Third run- 115awkw
    Fourth and FINAL run- 120awkw

    Total At the wheel KW gained - 29kw
    Percentage of increase from 'stock'- 32% increase

    Is this a wired in interceptor (like Xede) or a plug-in solution that doesn't require cutting of wires (Cobb AccessPort).

    Stock ECU. Stock location. Stock wiring.
    They plug in their 'machine' for the duration of the remap\dyno tuning,
    Then they un plug it and you drive away with your ECU just as you drove in. (bar the mapping of it lol)

    I can say this as fact for the ECUTEK tunes as my WRX was done and as stated my brothers GT Forester was only done 1 week ago.

    So its a flashtune the same as Chiptorque offer at the moment, until they get the EZYflash going, with a custom dynotune and flash the stock chip with a modified standard tune.

    I will stick with Chiptorque as they are only 20mins away, which is nice for issues to be dealt with promptly.

    For sure, 20mins away is great
