Every year I've put the FastWorks system on sale. Up in Canada we still have a lot of snow and temperatures are still below freezing so I like to call it a "Snow is finally melting event!" The sale runs from March 15th to March 31st.

What is the FastWorks ECU Upgrade?

It is definitively the most popular ECU upgrade for the 4G Eclipse and 4G69/6G75 series Galant. The system integrates tuning/logging/flashing in the same package produced in-house. It comes with a base tune that is tailored specifically to your modifications. It also comes with modifications to the factory programming that adds other features not available from Mitsubishi.

How is FastWorks different from other reflashes?

I was the original person who cracked and developed a way to tune this series of ECUs. With this knowledge I re-wrote sections of the factory program to add new features. Since I am the original author of the software and programming changes I don't have to rely on any 3rd parties for editing definitions, accuracy or support.

The differences are in the new features and in the support you get. I've got 15 years of tuning experience, 15 years of engine building, diagnostics etc. My specialty is in engine management so you get support that is backed by experience and technical know-how.

What new features does FastWorks give me?

All vehicles get extended datalogging. This allows access to items you need to tune properly but Mitsubishi did not make visible.
MT cars can have 2 stage rev-limiters, also known as launch control.
All vehicles have additional changes available to allow turbochargers or superchargers to run.

As new features are added they are available to all licensed FastWorks users. There are a number of new ones being developed.

What does the tune give me?
A GS will have 8-10hp more at the wheels and a GT will gain 12-15hp. Depending on your modifications many cars will make larger gains. Most do make more but I like to quote numbers I feel everyone will achieve rather than fiction that "sounds good".

Most cars will gain a minimum if 10% in fuel economy. This means that the upgrade will generally pay for itself in a year of driving. The harder you drive your car the more fuel it saves you.

How long does it take to get a tune?

For most people the tune is delivered within 1-2 business days.

Rarely, I encounter a calibration I have never seen before. With these I must build and verify an "editing template" or definition so your ECU can be edited. I also have to build the changes to add new features. This takes time, generally a week. With a big sale like this it can take a bit longer but I do put in a lot of hours to try and get things out the door as fast as possible.

How do I buy the system?

Contact me via email (hackish@gmail.com). Pay for the product using paypal (michael@fastmail.ca). Purchase an OpenPort 2.0 cable from Tactrix. Register on support.fastworks.com (for product support and to download the windows software - sorry no OSX but it can run in parallels).

What does the system cost?
Naturally Aspirated cars. Regular price: $449.99. On Sale $249.99
Turbo/Supercharged cars: Regular price $599.99. On Sale $349.99
All prices quoted in USD. Sale pricing valid on all purchases from March 15th through March 31 2015.

As an additional bonus I will be giving a $100 surprise refund to the 10th purchaser. Lucky #20 will get $150 back and #30 will get $200 back. Winners will be announced by the end of the sale.

The sale is a yearly thing. It will be going on special before Christmas. I've just been spending all my days on the dyno and working on the next release of the software. It will be introducing a LOT of new features. Although all licensed people get free upgrades with the features it makes the most sense to have a sale with a well tested stable release.

The sale runs from the April 15th to May 15th 2016.

The regular NA price is 349.99 on sale for $249.99
For turbo/Supercharged it is regularly $499.99USD and now on for $449.99USD.
There are also surprise discounts for every 10th purchase. The discount is $50 or $100 more off.

Trick is you don't know if you're the nth purchaser!

The way you make the purchase is via paypal to payments@fastworks.com and put your VIN number in the comments. As soon as I get it I'll add your car to the license server. Then you get in touch via email at sales@fastworks.com. With the software you register your account and I assign the VIN to your fastworks account.

The big announcement is that the ELM327 cable is being supported for datalogging and I'll be releasing a datalogging-only version of fastworks for $10. It still has some kinks to work out as I want solid ELM support working before taking any money. The challenge is being able to sort through and work with all the chinese ELM327 clones on the market as many do not work exactly as they should.

I've updated the descriptions. A number of people misunderstood the pricing and send $349.99 so I've spent a bunch of time refunding $100 to these purchasers then explaining what happened.

I hope it is more clear now.

Quick mid-sale update. There are still 2 weeks to go but I wanted to announce the first discount winner. This one goes to Chad with his turbo 2006 GS. He wins $50! The next winner gets $100 so for an NA tune that would bring their total price down to $150! We're nearly at the 20th spot but I'll likely announce that winner next week.

It is hard to guess if we will exceed the 54 tuned sold during last years sale since this runs much longer and last year most of the purchases came in at the end. If we do, I've got a bit of a surprise for the 55th person. They will win a complete AEM UEGO kit valued at over $200.

Here is another exciting development. Tactrix is the company that produces the OpenPort 2.0 cable that we all use to flash the Eclipse. It is a quality cable that is designed and built in the USA. It also comes with excellent support for its users and for the Eclipse community in general.

Last year Tactrix generously donated a free openport 2.0 cable to one of our winners and this year I'm proud to announce that Tactrix has decided to donate a free cable to the 25th and 50th purchaser of the Fastworks tune during the 2016 sale! We're nearly at the 20th tune sold so you can guess that a free cable will be awarded very soon!

I often get buried in technical details about why I like their cables but I strongly believe that a company like this demonstrates their commitment to serving enthusiasts in ways like this.
