BOLBO420 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Did you read all the 200+ pages on this topic ? I'm sure after you've done reading them, you'll know for sure what and where to modify. Enjoy reading, redundant info is not ok. So don't be lazy I've used the search and I still can't find correct/or up to date info but I'm not going to read 200 pages. I have better things to do.

Midnight Caller Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Then if the guys will just go all over again with their work for granted, it's their choice. But sometimes you have to also help yourself with the info. That's because they lost much more time to experiment and write things down than you would lose reading them. Sorry for the offtopic guys, but I really can't stand spoonfeeding. I respect you and your hard work 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah I read that I just didn't know where to start from. But which table do I modify? Look at my screenshot a couple posts up. You will see the parameters by category like mine if you follow Venderbroecks directions above. You can see the inj. Constant, voltage table and Min inj time windows. Follow the directions in the linked page above by Avinitlarge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLBO420 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Well maybe this is chance to make the wikia a little more clear. This thread has become so massive that trying to find any info is very difficult. I've read through a lot of stuff and had a lot of my questions answered but there's some stuff that I can't find because I get 50 pages of results from a search so maybe you could stop being so rude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Caller Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 O am not rude, my good man. But there are things you should take GOOD care when modifying, that must be tailored to your setup,and that cannot be just copy-pasted. You risk going lean and destroying your engine.

venderbroeck Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The last game of thrones book I read was 1040 pages long. It took me less than a week to read it (Yes, I really like AGOT ). Surely 200 pages of very interesting and sometimes valuable tuning info can't be that much effort if you really like to tune. The first 60 pages or so had me glued to the monitor, because the work being done was pretty awesome. Alot of it can be skipped over even. As midnight is saying, there are some insights in here that can help you safeguard your engine. The wikia is a work in progress for those who choose to spend their own free time on it. As it's open to edit, feel free to contribute We can't (and probably don't want to) predict everything that people don't understand, but as you can see, clarifications are added once in a while.

So don't be lazy You have zero contribution to this topic so slow down expressing frustration. Then if the guys will just go all over again with their work for granted, it's their choice. Exactly... so why YOU jump on people for asking questions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinitlarge Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've read it all but joined in when it was at about page 40 ish. Even though I read it, I've forgotten a bit, mostly irrelevant and obsolete stuff. There are a lot of pages that don't contain useful info but its still worth a read anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 More info regarding flashing in car w/o charger, Now I have installed the voltage step-up (that I did mentioned earlier) to pin B8 via 12V "key-on power supply" (pin A27). Flashing now works perfectly if put 15V on pin B8 at key on. I also tested another scenario just to verify... I did test to do a normal key on and then waited 10-15 seconds before I did put 15V on pin B8 to see if the "power up" needed to be synked or not. It was not needed!!! 8) When I flicked the flash switch on, the fan started (boot mode activated) and I could flash as if everything was normal. It worked perfectly! Boot mode could also be switched on and off (fan on and off) with the switch when at key on without any issues. I can flash wherever I want now. Hope more people will try the same, it's very nice! This is the step-up I bought from ebay with free shipping (slightly bigger then a 1,5V AA battery): http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-4A-4-5-32V-to-5-42V-12V-24V-step-up-BOOST-converter-power-module-/130770051722 // Turboforslund Added this method to the M44 Wikia.

Turboforslund Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Added this method to the M44 Wikia. Thanks a lot lookforjoe!! 8) Have you tried out the kit yet? // Turboforslund Edited February 11, 2015 by Turboforslund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinitlarge Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Lookforjoe is using an Ostrich so no need for bootloader mode. Just flash straight from the USB to the ostrich. Takes a couple of seconds to flash the full bin. I like your idea, makes it much easier for people not using an ostrich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German850R Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks a lot lookforjoe!! 8) Have you tried out the kit yet? // Turboforslund I have ordered it and should have it early March and try it out on my second 850 T5 which I just bought to mess around with.

Takes a couple of seconds to flash the full bin. I like your idea, makes it much easier for people not using an ostrich. Minutes after my post I realized that he uses an ostrich... I will try to improve in-car flashing by putting a relay to pin A22 (fan high speed) in order to stop the fan while flashing (already have the diode to verify that boot-mode is active). At the moment even a optima yellowtop is getting weak after 20 flashes and no driving... 8) I will post an electrical drawing proposal when I'm done... Another question regarding the Ostrich: Is it space enough within the ECU to fit all the required eeprom sockets and so on for the floppy cable without having to cut the case somehow? Or do I need to solder the floppy cable to the board to get space enough? It would be so sweet to if it could look like the turbo-tuner ecu's from the outside (just the usb port would tell it's changed) // Turboforslund Edited February 11, 2015 by Turboforslund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venderbroeck Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think soldering it is the only way for that. I've already installed an ostrich in the manner you describe for someone (usb port at the top of the housing). The socket stack seems to be a bit too tall for the casing I believe. If you take a look in my tinkerings thread you can find a way to get rid of the usb port aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
