Capability of ecu tuner in sgp

[Maded]

no worries

[Ahlim]

Hi, Can PM the "professional" tuner name? Thanks!

[Sheltie2306]

No lah .. everyone needs to make a living, let him survive or die naturally.

[Autocraze]

No, it's not It's a full management ecu, with fuel, iginition and boost control. It's needs a laptop, wideband O2 sensor and knock sensor to tune.

I second tat ... and a good tuner will know ur existing hardware limitations and recommend u better hardwares for greater performance... it's not as simple as fitting a boost controller and wack hard all the way... ..ultimately, I'll recommend a tuner tat has the driver's safety in mind...

[Dwoon]

Wah..... speaking from experience eh......

[Autocraze]

u hor.. very bad... .. heard of 02 pcs blown engine liao without proper hardwares upgrade

[Saaber]

whose engine ah?...

[Autocraze]

confirmed not mine..

bro, do you tune microtech MT4 ECU? pls reply, thanks

[Sheltie2306]

Sorry, I don't.

What after market ecu do you have? Some of them can only tune by authorise dealer, because they control the distribution of interfacing software. Anyway, for NA cars, I suggest you drop the idea. The $ per bhp is simply not worth it. The original ecu is already very well optimized. The after market ecu can squeeze out the most another 10%, which is hardly noticeable.

 

Tuning devices that can only be tuned by authorised dealer should be avoided IMO. On the plus side, they give extra security that only those who are authorized can tune the device, but it is not rocket science. These dealers have the tendency to keep information from their clients, such as what is being tuned and have strategies in keeping their product non-transferrable.

 

I think tuning for NA cars is very relevant to those who like to hold down the accelerator pad like drinking water. Especially if you have mods, you can really squeeze extra 5-10hp out of it.

piggy back can squeeze out another 10%-15% from the safety margin from a Impreza TS or not? :)

 

at the cost of 1k round about?

[Dwoon]

Wah.... lidat very expensive leh..... ~ $100 per bhp.....

[Zrun]

If you have Intake/header/exhaust/exhaust porting mods, using AF and ignition tuning can help squeeze 10-15 hp/tq.

 

1bhp per $100.

 

Look at it in another way.

 

You spent $1k on your mods to go from eg. 130bhp to 140bhp. Plus tuning, you raise it to 150bhp. The difference here is quite big. The torque increase is something that you'll really feel the difference.

I am doing for hobby only, not for $$. In fact, ecu tuning is a "generic" thing. The feature and interface of each aftermarket ecu product are different but the principle are all the same. It's just the matter of reading the manual and understand how to operate it. It's the correct understanding of the fundamental of engine tuning that's important.

 

Hi..

I am interested to learn more on tuning piggybacks and ECU, can advise where to start off?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I've recently installed E-Manage. I'm still waiting to buy a wide band O2 sensor, so I cannot tune my AF yet. I plan to log AF and just do some WOT runs to redline and then try to keep AF ratio at good level.

 

However, what are the steps to tune ignition timing? Possible to do this on the streets?

That is the problem with these ECU intercepts. Ignition timing is cannot be controlled by them.

........any ECU hacker out there can help??????
