Not sure if anyone else has attempted to tune these cars via re flash other than TTI and OV. If you do find one please share!

I might consider your tune now but still afraid of bricking something. I'll wait to see how others do first =p Maybe someone can post a video of the process from beginning to end to take the mystery out of it.
Coming from the only one who had that happen to him, trust me both the tuning software and the steps have been simplified to avoid that so you can do it with 100% confidence, I have been changing my tune almost on daily basis as am working with TTI to test many things, actually I have received already more than 25 test tunes so trust me when I tell ya there is nothing you need to worry about except the rubber you will burn once your tune is on

@Tony you can confirm the same also

Damn thats good power i mean our limitation is our tiny turbo because the engine is way more capable. that car looks weird from the front i dont like it at all . Honda's new car designs are too edgy idk.
Still that power output its really close to the 8arfts in stock form too

I've made step by step instructions for TTI on the installation process and so far there are several members who were able to get it done with no issues. Get it done!

I agree the car not so pleasing, but their power output on their 2.0T is still better than our's. They did get rid of the V6 platform though. Waiting to see what Lexus has to compete with these Infiniti 3.0T's.

I just ordered the bms tune box for my rc200T today from Terry. Fingers crossed this will fix the 30% throttle limitation..

Sorry, this will not fix the throttle issue, but it will improve performance! I've tested the BMS system for Terry and it was the best piggyback system I've used. Look at the 1st page of this thread for dyno results.

Tony shared these screenshots with me to show the difference in the throttle settings. The light green is stock and dark green is the upgraded throttle setting that is available on TTI's Stage 1 and Stage 2 re-flash tune. Drivers Wish graph shows pedal to fuel ratio adjustments.




This parameter can only be adjusted via ECU RE-FLASH and cannot be performed by a piggyback ecu.

The flash looks cool but for that kind of money I will just stick with a piggy back. It would be difference it that kind of money was going into a high performance car..

Understandable. If you are getting the BMS piggyback, look into getting the data cable so you can change maps and boost increase increments.

Actually I have a cable from my old M1. I thought the box bms sold had just one tuned map? So your telling me more boost can be added by tweaking the tune they provided?

Yes, you can do data logging and change the max psi (over stock) settings via JB4 app, however i would recommend asking Terry before messing with that feature.
