Show original supplier description
The ESS N52B30 ESS E-Flash Performance ECU software is the result of extensive testing and precise calibration of ECU parameters, designed to unlock considerable performance gains on an otherwise stock vehicle. Developed and rigorously tested in both the extreme heat of the Arizona desert and the extreme cold of Scandinavia, this software ensures reliable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions. The ESS performance software optimizes key engine functions by updating throttle control, VANOS, Valvetronic, ignition timing, and AFR programming. This comprehensive tuning enhances overall engine response, delivering a more engaging driving experience and noticeable performance improvements. The power gains vary depending on the specific engine variant: x25i 3.0 (215/218hp models) can expect +13HP and 17 ft-lbs of torque, x28i (230hp models) +10HP and 14 ft-lbs, x30i (255/258hp models) +6HP and 8 ft-lbs, and x30i (272hp models) +3HP and 5 ft-lbs. When you order this product, you will receive one ESS E-Flash OBD2 programming system, which will VIN lock to your specific vehicle. This system offers the flexibility to program between stock and tuned states, and can also be used to load custom files, race fuel files, or updates received directly from ESS via email. Additionally, the ESS E-Flash system includes full engine diagnostic and code clearing functionality, providing comprehensive control over your vehicle's performance and health. The top speed governor is removed, and the fuel requirement is 91 US / 95 Euro octane and above.
