Damn guys, friggin awesome! I’ll admit the tuning of cars is something I’ve never dipped into, so, as ez as u guys make this seem, I’m super unsure of myself tackling this mod but am very impressed and interested down the line. Some exterior stuff first and CC once SXTH gets em back in stock, some CF and then we’ll see how brave I am with this tune. I wanted to get this car to around 300whp but wasn’t sure what it would take back when it first announced. This looks and def sounds legit af. Thnx for the upload guys n get us a follow up vid after a week or so!🤘🏽

Thank you Jason! I traded in the genesis due to my engine builders neglect. It was a sad decision but overall I’m happy with what I chose 😬 biggest difference is this is an actual tune rather than the jb4 or afe tapping into sensors and tricking the ecu into thinking it’s seeing stock boost when it isn’t and same thing with all the other variables it tricks the ecu. The ecu tune for us was the best route

could you describe what you selected when buying the spare ecu? im assuming the exhaust crackle is agressive, but what was the stage you chose and what max rpm (i assume 7200). also does the exhaust always crackle or is it like stock where only in n mode?

Now everything is good to go with no issues. You’ll be able to have your stock tune on the device and you won’t need to put in a spare ecu. The device can load the stock tune back onto the ecu.

Great vid, lots of info, thanks ! Wondering what the benefit is to completely switching out the stock ecu for the SXTH ecu. Can someone just keep the stock ecu and tune it, and maybe it won't throw a check engine light?
@KDMStation
Жыл бұрын
Benefits of having a spare ecu is you can swap the stock ecu back in if your worried about the dealer checking for a tune. A majority of the time they don’t even scan the ecu to check. But the only reason we have a cel is because we have the ek1. The cel is no longer there as it was a software cel code for vin not matching. Nothing engine related. Nathan from sxth emailed us another email file with the correct info to fix the issue.

I hope you show the CEL going away after putting in the VIN# because it puts the element of fear/doubt in this product. I would only use that screen only if I needed to do something, other than it's just another screen on the dash that doesn't flow with the stock look, plus it's a distraction...IMHO.

You can flash directly to your oem ecu and keep your stock ecu tune on the ek1 device to flash back whenever you’d like. The cel we have now is from the downpipe. We aren’t running a 2nd o2 sensor due to the oem one binding onto the oem pipe. It’s only there to read that the cat is in place which is now a high flo cat so it threw a cel. It will be fixed once we get a replacement o2 sensor.
