D2 ECU Flash
Hey Guys, Im having my D2 engine rebuilt the proper way. I have seen several companies advertising flashing the ECU for a lil extra power and a lil better mpg. Has anyone done this to their D2? Is it just sales hype or does it really make a differnce? Maybe Disco Mike can answer this? Thanks for the help! ....Ben

Is it for V8 or TD5?
The Disco owners I've ran into overseas with TD5 engines swear by it saying it's a definite "need-to-have" for their engines.
As for the V8's (like I have) I haven't found many owners who did this. There are a few companies here in England named CelticTuning.co.uk and TornadoSystems.com who do V8 chipping/ECU upgrades. The costs are high from $600 to $800 and you have to mail them your ECU.
There was a company that was north of Washington DC that I was going to check out when I lived in Georgia. They were half of the price but I lost their information.

Mine definitely does. But the top post (#31) on this page is where I got that from:

After I get my 04 running again, and fix a few more things on it, an ecu flash is still on my "to-do" list.

I have done a lot of ECU programming, gas and diesel. Diesel - YES!! Gas, it depends. GM engines are fueled extremely rich at WOT and have lots of torque management, so pulling that off makes a big difference. What I have seen so far in my testing with Disco's monitoring the 02's is they do not go super rich at WOT and I doubt they have much torque management (not enough torque to need it). I doubt they significantly lean out the low torque AFR, so they probably don't improve fuel economy that much.
Read up on EFILive or HP tuners forums, you will learn a lot about ECU flashing and the amount of power and fuel economy difference tunes can make.
