Intro
EcuTek is the platform we use for all flash tuning on the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ.
Beyond improving power and drivability, EcuTek also unlocks advanced driving features that enhance both performance and the overall driving experience.
This includes flat foot shifting, auto blip downshift, and launch control — all included as standard with Haus of 86 tunes.
Flat Foot Shifting (FFS)
Flat foot shifting allows you to shift gears without lifting off the throttle.
When the clutch is pressed during a gear change, the ECU briefly controls engine output to allow a smooth transition into the next gear without completely cutting power.
Benefits:
- Faster gear changes
- Maintains boost on turbo vehicles
- Smoother acceleration through gears
This is particularly useful for performance driving and track use where maintaining momentum is critical.
Auto Blip Downshift
Auto blip automatically matches engine revs when downshifting.
When you press the clutch and select a lower gear, the ECU briefly increases engine RPM to match the gearbox speed.
Benefits:
- Smoother downshifts
- Reduces drivetrain shock
- Improves vehicle stability under braking
This is especially useful for spirited driving and track use, helping maintain control when entering corners.
Launch Control
Launch control helps deliver consistent acceleration from a standstill.
When activated, the system holds the engine at a preset RPM, allowing the driver to release the clutch and launch the vehicle with controlled wheelspin and optimal traction.
Benefits:
- Consistent launches
- Improved acceleration
- Reduced wheelspin variability
Why We Use EcuTek
EcuTek provides a reliable and flexible tuning platform that allows us to tailor each vehicle to its specific setup.
It enables proper calibration for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged builds, while also integrating useful performance features that enhance the driving experience.
Included With Every Tune
