Original ECU remap by RE AMEMIYA
 
Due to popular demand, RE AMEMIYA has decided to do a remap on original ECUS for fans here. However due to time constraint, they could only do a limited number. I already have 8 cars on hand for this. PI cars need this reflash more than the MM cars. This is a good opportunity as there is only minimum downtime for ur car. Only takes a while to do that.

1. Speed cut removed
2. Rev cut increased.
3. Fuel efficiency increase. (Varies from person to person)
4. Temperature reduced.

Please DO NOT PM me. They will not be replied.

Direct ur questions here, or call office at 67474360 for further enquiries.

C7,

Costs? When is the next available slot? Mines a PI(A)

tems900 06-07-2006 12:30 AM

Ant re-mapping of Fuel & Ignition ?

Gomez 06-07-2006 12:42 AM

Just out of interest, what level are your cars RPM limited at?

What is the new temperature set at?

Fab 8 06-07-2006 12:47 AM

I am interested in the remapping. Does it cater for any mods like the RE intake? Thanks.

only ECU remaps. No additional tuning for other parts. Interested, call the above number. Will arrange for u. Costing wise, call as well.

For 4AT, rpm is cut at 7500. After remapping, cut at 8500rpm.

Sam, u no need, urs is oredi done by KS.

lennon 06-07-2006 02:22 AM

Are they coming to SG again in the future??? reduced the temp by just adjusting ecu??

rx8-8888 06-07-2006 02:58 AM

Coupe07, Im from Malaysia. Can i drive down to sg to get it tuned? If can i will call you at your contact no. to get it arranged Thanks in advance. Or can he sell me a RE-Amemiya ECU ? coz i intend to get 1 but in Malaysia we have to order which takes a ridiculously long time.

- D i a b l o - 06-07-2006 06:38 AM

Yea,i want to get one for the 4AT DSC variant.I presume mine is a Type E model.

coupe07 taukeh.Please do something :D
I got the money,just cant wait thats all.

I asked around for the mine reflash thingy,it'll take around 2 months "at list"..jeez

btw im from malaysia too.

yes, juz adjusting ECU. Next time shld still be coming.

as for when..... that's the question mark.

call office at +65 67474 360. Its either thursday or friday ONLY. Strictly by appointment. No walk-in will be entertained. I hope you guys understand.

Impossible to send u a new ecu.

I can only suggest u drive down to singapore. Get it done on the same day.

watoke 06-07-2006 10:13 AM

Ivan, can sms me the cost for the re-mapping & adding the additional ECU, i am interested. Thanks

there is no additional ecu. remap ur ORIGINAL ECU. MM cars are not so affected. moreover, u risk ur warranty. PI cars are prioritised in this case bcos of their speed cut... let me see how much cars they can do tmr.... u willing to risk ur warranty??

lohsk 06-08-2006 12:10 AM

I am the first on the road (auto) with the this ECU upgrade... And it's good...

Thanks to Ivan and the RE guys....

ok... 4 things they say the upgrading will do...

1. Speed cut removed
2. Rev cut increased.
3. Fuel efficiency increase.
4. Temperature reduced.

But what you also get is the brand new mapping from Mazda.... and the car runs really smoothly with this mapping..... later tonight I'll be testing on the roads after my meetings. All you guys with PI (Auto) cars... get your rides down and get it upgraded because this is the latest software for your ride, most probably your PI will not be able provided you with this service. And nobody can do a better job.

It takes time.... they they have to strip your ECU to the Board and then solder a port on to the board so they can do the remapping, this whole process will take some time, so only a limited cars per day.

noob question

what is PI and MM? It applied to all the cars imported all around the world?

whiteX 06-08-2006 03:26 AM

wow! wat abt rpm cut for manual? 10,000 rpm?

coupe07 06-08-2006 03:28 AM

bro u wan 10000rpm for wat? after 8500rpm power start sliding down liao.

tems900 06-08-2006 04:03 AM

If, No fuel cut, No RPM cut, with Fuel & Ignition tune, with 3" main pipe catback exh. & 3" highflow Cat. pipe & maybe intake, u still can feel the pull above 9K, but that danger zone for e apex seal

whiteX 06-08-2006 04:24 AM

ha... how would i noe, coz u said reduce rpm cut mah. aniwei. tis kind of tuning cost how much? 3-5 hundreds? or up to 1k? juz wondering... :) so actuali for manual its mainli for e speed cut and improve fuel efficiency plus lower temp

tks coupe07,now how much would it cost.and how can i contact you?

8citing 06-08-2006 09:18 AM

Had my ecu remapped with RE AMEMIYA mappings today. Most distinct behaviour change is that the idle rpm (in D gear) drops to 500~600 range. When in "P" position, rpm hovers at abt 1k. No noticeable increase in vibrations as b4 reflash, when the idel rpm was at 650~700 all the time.

On the road, the car is more driveable and more eager/quicker to pick up (sublime effect of RE AMEMIYA sticker on ecu?).

As for all the touted cuts in speed/rev/fan/fuel, I wouldn't harp on them. End of the day, this is the only reflash which (correct me if I'm wrong) is available locally, and it makes the car (at least mine) more spiritually aspired. No regrets on the additional cut (pocket).

tmr is the last day and the schedule is very tight. Its either u drive down to spore or lose the opportunity. The telephone number is listed on the 1st page for contact purpose.

Tks for enquiry.

lennon 06-08-2006 11:20 AM

Too bad then...... Maybe next time........ :)

gfoo 06-08-2006 11:38 AM

RE similarly flashed my ECU today, and i must say the initial impressions is are similar to the bros that posted reviews earlier.

1. Idle RPMs has dropped by about 50-100, and vibrations normally felt at traffic stops is gone!

2. There is definitely a noticeable improvement in my low end torque - my AT used to feel sluggish at take off, but it feels lighter now

3. I may be wrong about this, but it seems as if the car can tahan slightly higher RPMs before it changes gear in full auto mode. This seems to improve zippiness of the car. Drove only an hour or so tonite, will monitor this weekend.

4. Haven't really seen an improvement in temps yet though.

The RE engineers that flew down for this really take their work seriously. Just seeing them put in the care and attention in just soldering the ecu board to prep before the flashing, really kum tong. Somemore, they came down to supervise reinstall, take picture with the owner, record car details and VIN.....better yet like bro 8citing says, they mark their work with an RE badge on the ecu case.

Conclusion: The RE maps make the car much more enjoyable to drive now. Shifting is smoother, and low-end has improved. And especially when MM doesn't entertain firmware upgrades for PI cars, this is the next best option for us if not better. How many pple can boast 'ECU by RE Amemiya'?

hmm.... so MM cars could take a breathe on that remapping then ... then i guess i could give a miss .... anyway, any MM cars did the re-mapping, can share a bit? :mdrmed:

hahaha the only MM car that will be doing will be the "black car".....

lohsk 06-08-2006 12:45 PM

Ok.... just back from my meeting.... so far everybody who flashed the ecu noticed the lively pick up...

I am concern with the heat, this is what I noticed, the center console is very much cooler. This has been verified by my girl. The car is running a little cooler.

ECU Remap
 
Just got mine done!! :D:

Speechless and no words to describe how happy I am now...... :crazy:

Better throttle response
When at full AT, even the gear shifting timing have altered, doesn't jump to 4 in an instant, makes full use of the powerband b4 changing....... :lol2:

Rev limiter - All gone.....hehehe

Speed Cut - Update again once in KL.

Moola well spent, thanks MG!!

just curious and have some questions, wouldnt it be risky to remove rev limiter, what if "sway sway" engage wrong gear, esply for AT cars? would it be better to raise limiter instead of removing it?

Nah 06-09-2006 04:10 AM

Me too........! COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS and no words to describe it after Original ECU re-map.BTW a very big Thank You to RE-AMEMIYA,Ivan and TEAM MONSTER GARAGE.Thank You.

tan280 06-09-2006 04:43 AM

Nah, I second that... really a swift and sharp job... really must appreciate the effort of all this to make this ECU remap a successful job...

For your info, the rev limiter is not "removed", it had been hightened / raised to 8,500 rpm instead of 7 - 7,500 originally where u feel that the car start to lose it's power when the "ting ting" sound came on... With the "NEW" mapping, it don't.

The car...although an auto will not "sway sway" engage the wrong gear.... If your RPM is too high, the lower gear will not be engaged and hence no worries here.

The ECU (even un-tuned) will be able to know when the gear can be lowered (changed)... The figure (gear number you are in) on your dash will just blink and refuse to be engaged here
:Eyecrazy:

Fab 8 06-09-2006 08:13 AM

Got mine done today - together with the Revi intake :D:

Noticeable improvement in throttle response. Acceleration is faster, especially mid to top end. Not sure whether thats coming more from the reflash or the Revi, but I'm definitely a happy chappy! :icon_tup:

Revi was surprisingly loud when doing hard acceleration - especially at around 5000 to 6000 rpm - a certain "boominess" to it. But overall, sounds great! A good afternoon at Monster Garage. :)

INXS 06-09-2006 08:21 AM

sob sob... *squeeze balls*
Not free these two days leh...................... sigh

coupe07 06-09-2006 10:37 AM

Thank you for all ur support. With that, i'm pround to annouce that the ECU remapping has come to an end. Thanks for all support and i'm glad that all those who did theirs are very very happy.

As for those who missed this chance, seriously, tough luck. U really miss out a lot. As for those who doubted RE AMEMIYA in the past for watsoever reasons, i tink the results speak for themselves. Ask the TC guys. Ask the re-mapping guys. For all ur info, this remapping exercise is same as the REDOM SUPER MINI as listed in the catalogue.

On behalf of RE AMEMIYA, i wld like to thank all those who have shown tremendous support for the past 5 days, in watever ways.

Thank you very much, n pls do look forward for the next successful visit by team RE AMEMIYA.

ECU Remap
 
Hi all,

Just see whether any feedbacks from those who have done the Remap.

Finally, tested out normal city driving, usually before remap, can do about 420 to 430 on 55litres.

Now I can go further on 55litres, between 490 to 510km. :ylsuper:

Cheers,

That is definitely true, from what the tuners said they have also lowered the temperature when the thermostat starts to kick in. Initially it would kick in about 89 degrees but now they changed it to 85 degrees.

This would allow the cooling process to take place earlier hence better temp readings and cooler cabins.

sqflyer 06-17-2006 01:27 PM

Just curious, is there any downside to turning on the fan earlier? E.g. Shortening life of the fan, drain of power to run the fan, etc...

nope... all good and no bad...... hehehe

sqflyer 06-17-2006 02:10 PM

Sorry bro, but I'd have to disagree with you. I don't think there is such a thing as all good and no bad. Something's gotta give. The fan needs to be powered and you can't create free energy.

coupe07 06-18-2006 12:06 AM

the fan will have to kick in anyway, be it early or late. without the maps, it comes in later. Coming in earlier is better for the car, which will improve the cooling. The fan is meant for cooling anyway, juz that its earlier now. Once it cools down to the desired temperature, it will stop. So shortening life of fan, this worry is unfounded.

As for draining of power, again, its unfounded. Ur original setting will enable ur fan to kick in. The fan's job is to do that anyway. Just that now, it is set to kick in earlier, cools earlier so that the temp will not go too high. With or without the mapping, the fan will still have to do its job. Difference is it is doing its job earlier. Amount of time running the fan shld be the same if ur driving style is the same, before and after the tuning.

dats y i say its all good n no bad. Tuners dun tune to "piang" ur engine. They maximise the potential without exhausting our parts of the car. Of cos, they still have their professional ethnics, at least, this is wat i can see from their recent trip.

sqflyer 06-18-2006 02:23 AM

Bro, setting the fan to kick in earlier does not mean the fan will not run longer than it previously used to run. For example, if you set the fan to turn on at a lower temperature (let's say it's below the engine's minimum operating temperature) then the fan will be on continuously because the engine will never be cooled to below that temperature unless the engine is not running.

So by reducing the temperature that the fan kicks in, it turns on earlier, cools the engine down earlier, but the engine will heat up again and reach that temperature again earlier and the fan will have to kick in again earlier. End result is the fan is operating more often than it previously used to.

I think that shortening the fan's life and power drain is not a major concern when it comes to keeping the engine cooler, but I don't believe it's unfounded. Of course professional tuners don't tune to destroy your car, but there is a price to everything. Whether the price is insignficant or not is up to the driver/owner.

nvm.. i guess those who have done their remappings are the best persons to answer u abt the goods and the bads, if any, since they can feel it first hand......

my car down for a week liao.... once its up, i will let u noe how it feels like....

sqflyer 06-18-2006 03:25 AM

Bro, I'm not saying it's bad, so don't get me wrong. Like I said, I think the benefits outweight the costs and I would get it done too (when you get KS to come down). All I'm saying is that there are always 2 sides of the coin. If anyone chooses to deny the existance of the cons (however small or insignifant it may be), then he/she will always be blinded by wearing rose tinted glasses.

sgrenesis 06-18-2006 09:46 AM

true but the alternator is working maybe a little bit more as compared to a lightened pulley which is different, now this will really shorten.

if like this then its the same like house fan, if you use more then the thing will wear out faster. cant be because the fan's lifespan will shorten by a bit you would try not to use it if possible. furthermore weather these few days really hot sia even at night.
