Evo: tephra v5 is out! Mapswitching, better KnockCel, and more!
 

http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=332778

In this patch you get:
- 2 levels of knock cel flash
- some ICS mods
- map switching (timing/fuel/boost)
- no lift to shift
- valet mode
- rear o2 simulator (not heater)


Unfortunately it is NOT ready for the 2005 ecu yet, the rom for those years does not contain enough free space for the v5 mods.....he's working on it though!

If anyone is interested in doing the map switching thing, I have a bunch of extra ECU pins that I ordered, I'll sell them for $1 a piece.

I downloaded my V5 this morning, I'll load it on tonight!

Nerds.

I have my maps all copied over, just need to go flash the ECU and hope it fires up!

Success!

Pics of what?

Damn it, no luck on anyone getting it to work on the 2005 ecu yet, I am chomping at the bit over here. This is basically the last piece to my alky system being 'fully' functional, with failsafe and whatnot, as I have intended it to work.

Its funny how quick updates for Tephra comes out, but Dsmlink V3 has yet to be released after like 4 years.

Re: Evo: tephra v5 is out! Mapswitching, better KnockCel, and more!
 

and isnt tephra free??? makes me want an evo just for that :D

Re: Evo: tephra v5 is out! Mapswitching, better KnockCel, and more!
 

Yup!

Re: Evo: tephra v5 is out! Mapswitching, better KnockCel, and more!
 

I don't really know much about Tephra. Is it actually a business, or just open source free software? Does their tech support even remotely compare to the support you get with DSMLink? Be patient for V3, there's only so many hours in a day, and undoubtedly the guys over at ECMTuning spend most of those hours running their business, and giving top notch tech/customer support. The will get V3 finihed up in their spare time, when they can.

Tephra is a dude on EvoM that is amazing with the stock ECU so he has been able to write all these hacks and patches for it. As for tech-support, he is constantly online and answers questions in his threads very quickly, along with the other very ECU-knowledgable members. Basically, the Evo ECU has been turned into a factory standalone.

Sounds fun. I'm not an ECU guru, have you ever used DSMLink? Just curious how they are in comparison. They sound somewhat familiar. Basically the ability to control a multitude of different things in the stock ECU, while not actually having to go to a full standalone system. I just love DSMLinks user interface, it makes everything so simple. Maybe you could show me a little bit of it next time I'm around. Just kind of curious of the similarities and differences.

Free is definitely a price most people can afford too :)

I've used DSMLink before. Next time you're around I'll show you what the Evo ECU is all about.

Re: Evo: tephra v5 is out! Mapswitching, better KnockCel, and more!
 

Ya, just to clarify: EcuFlash from OpenEcu.org is what is used for basic tuning of the stock ecu. Tephra is a guy that makes hacks for the stock roms to do all this fancy stuff. And fancy it is!

Re: Evo: tephra v5 is out! Mapswitching, better KnockCel, and more!
 

Werd. I was referring to all of the Evo's ECU's capabilities and not just the Tephra mods, I should have made that clear.
