Since I have switched to PSS and BBS Ri-D second gear rarely produce wheel spin. The first and second gear is more manic on the Evolve-R. I feel that I have to relearn driving the Evolve-R, how much modulation I need etc. The surprised was that the tune was very different. Here are my thoughts after test driving the car some of the best Australian backroads: So, my review is very subjective in nature. Comparing the two is almost unfair without a datalogger on track and a dyno on a rolling road. It is very difficult to compare the two tune simply because it relies on so many other factors. Overall, with installation, a definite win to Evolve-R.

However, my battery was drained from a full charge down to less than 80%! That's why it is a very good idea to make sure your car is fully charged whilst the ECU is being written. Imran from Evolve has been very good, and was able to sent the file to me after about an hour! Loading the new file only takes about 10 minutes.

The instructions was nice and clear and the software always tell you what it is doing. Reading the ECU took just over an hour and in the mean time I switched between os X and windows without any issues. I highly recommend having a charger and make sure you turned off non-necessary power drainers (more about this later). Once you plugged the cable to the computer and start the Evolve-R program, all you have to do is to select read ECU to get the process going. Instruction from the handheld was not that clear, and there is always a bit of element of doubt when using the ESS handheld. As I had to flash my car back to stock with ESS, I need to pull out the menu to figure out what command is what. You will then need to connect the handheld to the computer for any firmware updates. The ESS on the other hand involves installing the software from the USB drive. After the installation, all you have to do is plugged the supplied cable to the OBDII port in the car and USB to your computer. I know a lot of people will cringe, but I have mine installed in a Windows 7 environment, on VM Fusion 4.13.
Evolve-R installation involves clicking a link to download the latest software and installing on a Windows Computer. The installation of the flash is extremely easy with the Evolve-R and much better than the handheld option from ESS. Need to take my car to a workshop just to have a flash is just a bit too inconvenient. I like to have the luxury to flash at home at my convenience. Living in regional Australia means that getting your car flash is not as easy.

You can read about my mods here:Īfter careful consideration, I went with Evolve because of the ease of install. I have been very happy with the ESS tune, but the lack of information on any Stage 2 development means that I have to look elsewhere. As I am about to go FBO, I would like a tune that will take advantage of the new components that is coming in. I have finally switched over to Evolve Stage 1 on the weekend.
