CH Lancer Tactrix

Hi all i'm looking at buying a tactrix 2.0 port to put a crackle/burble tune into my 06 ES lancer. I've heard the ecu's are easy to get into as long as the immoboliser is disabled, I can't find anyone who has tuned a CH using a tactrix on many forums, so I am here to ask before i waste money!

P.S. i'm in QLD is there anyone who does these sorta stuff for CH's / 4g69 stuff?
 
I'm Sydney based and have tuned a few CH's. The 2.4L ECUs can't be flashed with ECU Flash, you need extra tools and a custom XML file.

I have access to a pc and good with computers, what extra tools are needed? It'd be good to finally tune my lancer

Need to be able to read over 50,000 lines of hexadecimal code and understand the machine language pattern of it. The only way these cars were tuned is from reverse engineering, so unfortunately there's very few people who can read and edit it natively

Ah ok bugger. I'd like to get it tuned eventually but don't know who to take it to here in SEQ

Pretty much this. I have what I call a "Stage 1" tune which I bench flash onto ECUs people send me. But unless you can reverse engineer the ECU yourself, you're out of luck tuning yourself.

Wonder what it costs to get a tune. Car will be off the road for a bit while i pull part of it to pieces anyway
 
Ouch way out of my budget. Just hoping to improve it a little overall with what I've already done to the car. Not worried about how much power to gain from it just be nice to have it all tuned with what I've got on it so it utilises it properly
 
I'm interested in getting it done just don't have that sort of money laying around for it yet
 
For the CE, non-turbo is around 10-15fwkw if you have full bolt-ons. Turbo can net significantly more, but thats a whole other story
I'm getting closer to a 20kw gain at the wheels with just a panel filter on 98 octane. There's heaps left on the table with them considering the tune was meant to be used all around the world in the 90s and early 2000s.

For everyone, and with all due respect, i'd take any stats with a grain of salt - i'm also not trying to sell my services of how many kw's i can tune in..
I have written tunes that easily make more torque than a V8 Windsor, but that doesnt mean its going to last as long as an OEM tune or that the engine isnt beating this *poo* out of the bearings. Every single engine will react differently, and they need to be tuned individually, and the logistics of this via a benchtune doesnt really stack up when the CE's ECU in particular doesn't save its feedback records.
YMMV

Oh yeah for sure every single engine will react different and it's why bench flash tunes are always more pulled back than anything tuned in person on a dyno with a set of knock ears.

I'm not trying to be like come to me, I make a guarantee 20kw or more or any of that. I'm just speaking from my experience of what I've made with what mods on Powertune Australia's dyno.

If you clean up the fuel and timing maps at the lower end of the rev you can increase torque and the responsiveness of the engine a lot too but no one seem to ask about this when looking for a tuner, they only notice once they pick up the car.

I can vouch personally for these bench tunes, I've had one in my g94 CG for nearly 4 months/8k km now with no hint of issues. I'll probably do it again when I've gotten all the bolt-ons on as well. It's not hard to see safe gains when factory tunes are insanely conservative to run piss fuel in the middle east and SE Asia, haha.
