ok so here is my question... why couldnt I get this flash done. then... purchase one of these aftermarket flash kits and then grab the updated flash done by SFR with this and save that as setting on it and after a dealer visit where they might override it just hook up and resend it.

Does doing this void your warranty?

according to KiaTech a few posts up it does void your warranty. But apparently you may be able to overcome this by reflashing the ecu before you go in for service back to stock. dunno seems like a lot of work to me unless you get your own tuner and know what you are doing.

go to there website it states it will not void warrenty are you trying to prove the koreons wrong?

There is no such thing as a voided warranty. Each problem with your car is case by case. KOA has to prove that what you changed on the car caused your problem. If they determine you caused the problem they will deny your warranty claim. If they cant.....they have to approve warranty claim. And if you change timing, fuel and happen to blow your motor...... I guaranteed you that KOA will not approve your warranty claim.

SFR ECU Reflash coming soon for Theta and Lambda engines!

This was May 4th 2010 announcement on the SFR blog.

This is what everyone’s been waiting for.
After a big success and proven ability to do full reflashes on Beta/Alpha/Delta 1.6/2.0/2.7 engines with years of experience,
Seoulfulracing is finally offering full reflash solutions for Theta/Lambda engines equipped with continental/Dephi ECUs
(Genesis Coupe 2.0T/3.8 V6, Genesis Sedan 3.8 V6, Azera/Sonata 2.4/3.3/3.8, Kia K5/K7, Kia Forte,etc)
It’s already proven in Korea but we just need to do some final testings on customers/vendors cars. Test ECUs have been already sent to idividuals and shops ,and we are waiting on the feedbacks.


Our ECU reflash will:
- change timings

• better throttle response
• TCS fully off
• raise rev limiter (manual tranny only, final gear for auto tranny)
• increase in torque/horse power
• better gas mileage while crusing

while it does not throw engine codes and any error codes will not show on OBD scanners

Detailed dyno numbers and feedbacks will be posted shortly.
Our ECU reflash service will be offered starting the end of May.
Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Interesting....

Have to wait and see what JK posts for the results from their tests.

Update this please

Update this please

11 year old post. If you go to SFR website they still don't show a reflash for any Forte. I think it's a dead horse issue.
