Hey..

I was wondering whats the difference between ecutek tune and verso tune...? power wise and price wise....

A Verso Tune is the same as ECUTek 3. Except MUCH cheaper.

If you have MY07 onwards Verso is not and option.

But for how long.........

pls try and use the advance search option
we're all like to be helpful but sometimes, it would be beneficial to search and see if there's any specifics, info wise you want help with

Too long if you bought a 07 in 07??????????????

still, more technical info between the two would be useful. the threads pointed out (i read em all) are just discussion about verso and ecutek, not information. info, from those who know, would be awesome to help make a start on an informed decision about why the price differences etc. maybe you'll just say go talk to the workshops (and i have and will) but its still good for noobs to be able to find out a bit about it so they dont rock up at workshops not even knowing which does what. also knowing technical info about them will help when choosing modifications as one tune might be more suited to a particular mod than another. so just saying "go with verso they are the cheapest and best cos so and so got it" doesnt really help because i can turn around and say "well ecutek is best because its good enough for Litchfield type 25's and they come with a factory backed 2yr warranty so they are the best." also with verso being in wa only and limited to 1 workshop?? its knowledge base is obviously small compared which is why we need more tech on it. /end rant/

EcuTek breaks engines..

I only pulled up one example there btw
There're heaps of technical post, however due to the fact that there are so many posts which are similar, all the good post gets buried. Hence, I rather someone pick up an older post with some tech info and rebirth that then restart, as again all good info gets buried deeper and deeper

Back to your point, I have no financial interest in either product and both ECUtek and Verso are essentially the same tuning process, ie reflash of the stock ecu.

ECUtek you have 3 options, first 2 are just basic off the shelf reflash without a dyno tuned but based on a set mod list, e.g. 3" TBE, etc. Cost starts from $1200-1800 (range, happy to be corrected, its being a while since I read/check). 3rd option on ECUtek is $1800 or so, but consist of a dyno tune and for whatever mods you want, so its customised. Personally, i do not believe its a smart idea to assume all mods should have the same charteristics. It should be dynoed to ensure all the fuel/air mix is correct.

ECUTek will also "lock" your ecu for the period and if something does go wrong, the locals may not be able to fix it, they will either send it back to the mother ship in NSW (MRT?) and/or if they can't fix it, i'd say its back to the bigger mothership in the UK(?). You can get the ECU reflash back to its OEM state when we sell it.

As for Verso, its a flat rate $990, dyno tuned and customised. Doesn't matter what mods you have, you get a dyno tune for whatever mods or request you have. Yes, its only limited to WA, but again, its a reflash, as long as its not locked or contain some sort of proprietary lock, then any compentent tuner who has the equipment or dyno can retune/reflash it


More info here - stickied under ECU Discussions

They are both the same thing, they both hack into the standard ECU and enable changes to be made to air/fuel ratios, boost pressures, timing etc etc etc. 1 costs over $2000 and has national support (it costs more because you are paying for a 'licenced' product) the other costs $990 and is based at one workshop in WA currently.

It's been said a heap of times before, choose your tuner and go with what they recommend to reach the goals you set for your car.

You want Leigh at RMS to tune your car, or Dave and Lane at Racetorque, or Sean at ASG, how about the boys at Tenegah or Maximum Motorsport??? There are a heap of options out there. All are very good.

The main reason Verso is sooooooo popular is because it is comparitively very cheap to other options and to date all results have been great. Unless you are building a race car (in which cause MoTeC is the best option, but very expensive) Verso will do 99% of what you will need it to do. It all comes down to how much you want to spend and who you want to tune your car.
