does anyone know what the website is? searched google and checked here but the website google showed ddnt work.

 

The website is ectune.com however it appears to be down.
If you need to purchase ectune, we sell it along with other vendors on the forum.

 

been trying for a couple of days now, its down alright....

 

was hoping to see what it could/couldnt do and how it stacked up to neptune

 

i'm an ectune user and am very satisfied with it. Its got all the features of the other softwares and and a lot more. what i like about it is that its continually evolving as calvin and the rest of the community comes up with new things....hth

 

does it have boost control? how bout boost control by gear? the website is down so i cant check its features unfortnately.

 

Yes, it has pwm boost control just like neptune & hondata.

 

cool. is its own chip like hondata s300/neptune or is it just loaded onto a chip like crome? my knowledge of chipping isnt very good

 

For now, it requires the use of a stand alone ostrich romulator & any datalogging cable device.

 

The tuner license allows it to be burned as a chip, so you don't have to get an ostrich emulator if you get it tuned by a pro.

The only issue I have (and its a BIG issue IMO) is the timebomb it has. He has it set to you NEED to update it every month, or it locks you out. He also doesn't post the update until a day or two before the lockout. You have to be sure you change your PC dates if you won't be near the internet at that time. A grace period would be VERY welcome, but atm he seems extremely paranoid about bugs - or something else. MS isn't even as bad.

 

wow bummer, what if the website is down? u cant drive until it omes back up?

 

Yes, you can drive your car if the website is down....

 

i mean if its down when your supposed to get the update...how does a chip count days? i mean i doubt it has a built in clock and calender...

 

Don't worry about it, you're probably not going to get the tuner version anyways...

 

oh ok, thats the version if i tune it myself opposed to having a shop do it?

 

The chip doesn't count days. The software is the only thing that expires.

 

ectune's site is back up

 

cool. so i compared to neptune. Neptune has a lot more, but the question is: for a boosted GSR dialy driver that might go to the track once a month to race with frineds, is the extra $500 worth it?

 

Where did the $500 number come from??

 

I believe he meant $50, since that's the difference in cost between license fees.

 

planning on gettign it professionally done (whether i go with nepture or ectune) meaning i'll most likely take it to a place that has the Tuner edition and can burn it as a chip (that will save me the liscensing fees for the DIY or pro version, correct?). so maybe $450 is a better number.

 

$350, thoguht the website said neptune was 500 actualy 400 my bad.

 

No, NepTune isn't $500 or even $400. You must be talking about a tuning package with tuning included. You're paying for tuning as well.

 

neptune rtp? was 400 on xenocron

 

The RTP system is $400. The version which a tuner tunes your vehicle for you using the software is usually $100.
