ECU reprograming

I was just wondering if anybody has reprogramed their stock ecu themselves, if so what is needed to do it and is it hard to do.

You can't reprogram your ECU yourself. The only cars that I'm aware that you can do that is GM.

you can buy an programable electromotive tec 3 unit at paradise rascing the have some kits for the most popular toyota engines, an those are the most friendly and wide range unit i´ve ever used. i´ve been working with haltech and wolf ,also with power comander and tec 3 over run them all easy to install and program

What do you have done to your engine that you need to reprogram your ecu? If you are still N/A, you won't seem much gains from it (maybe 5-10hp)...

If you really want to go to a stand-alone, you are looking at a lot of $$$ for the computer and the tuning... If you go with a piggy-back (S-AFC, ect.), it should be much cheaper...

Tec 3 is a nice unit except the resolution isnt there... PLus their crank trigger is a joke, you dont need sooo many. I mean look at Toyota their crank trigger have only 4 four tooth and some of toyotas motors can spin to 11,000 rpm safely on them..
