Generally, only cars equipped with turbocharged engines can have their ECU flashed, as cars with naturally aspirated engines will not experience any power increase after an ECU flash. Below is an introduction and method for flashing the ECU: Introduction to ECU Flashing: ECU flashing, also known as ECU upgrading, car computer upgrading, or ECU modification in China, is technically referred to as ECU tuning. The working principle of ECU flashing involves fine-tuning the fuel supply and ignition timing based on the original factory data by rewriting the program. ECU Flashing Method: First, read the original ECU data of the car, then make adjustments based on the factory program, and finally overwrite the original program with the adjusted ECU program.
