Denzien Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 This is rather interesting, and is where cars are headed before their ultimate demise. I've always had the idea or storing the car's ECU program on a USB drive on my keychain in lieu of an ignition key. That way, the car can't be stolen (who would steal my cars?) unless it's towed away, and I can store a number of maps that could feasibly be changed during driving (like from economical to aggressive, etc). This would be even more effective if you have electronically controlled solenoid valves with no bumpstick...then you could tune to a really aggressive virtual cam profile or to a soft, cruising profile...Anyway.

NW T5R Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 If, say I'm running a manual boost controller, would it be more advisable for me to just build another GM solenoid like I did on my wife's T5 and hook that back up and use the software to regulate boost? Or leave the MBC in and bypass the software's boost controlling?None of the above. Get a good dual solenoid electronic boost controller. Blitz IDIIIR or equiv. This will enable you to control boost start, level and load in each gear along with being able to level out the peaks and dips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellas850 T-5 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Will the price be the same or does has to do with the group buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightinchunk Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 will a version of this be available for 01+ T5's at all? Or is the code just too hard to crack/not worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotuner Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 will a version of this be available for 01+ T5's at all? Or is the code just too hard to crack/not worth it?This has already been answered on page 5. An ME7 version is a long way off at the moment for several reasons -1. We need to finish the Motronic 4.4 version!!! That's the top priority.2. We want to add some extra features to the existing 4.3 version to make it even easier to use.3. We want to finish the PRO version so that Tuning Shops can make library tuning files for Turbo-Tuner users who are afraid of mapping by themselves.4. An ME7 version would (at present) be considerably more expensive and therefore not as attractive compared with the 4.3 and 4.4 system5. It's not as beneficial for ME7 cars because they can already be flashed via OBD2 (ok, not while the engine is running).6. Development of a user interface to make it "easy" to tune an ME7 system is a huge amount of work. Turbo-Tuner is designed to be simple to use, so the complexity of the ME7 system must be translated into something that most tuning enthusiasts can work with. That is no simple task, believe me!!!Therefore, the focus is on M4.3 and M4.4 to develop this into a system that is a serious alternative to some of the high-end standalone systems, so you get the simplicity of plug-and-play, with the features of an advanced standalone. We're even working on developing a coil pack driver! Just don't ask for timescales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I played a little bit with it today (until i lost all my coolant again, sigh )All I ready did so far was do a little test run and calibrate the map to the injectors. There's a wizard which works absolutely excellent and it takes only a few secs to change the whole fuel map to suit the injector size!As soon as you click the buttons the AFR changes so in a matter of seconds you can bring it from 10.5 idle (which mine did right after clearing the ECU) to 14.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfishing3 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 i haven't read every post, so sorry if this has been discussed..are we able to raise the fuel cut of point with this system?is there a fail safe point no matter what i chose?

Boost_Junky Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's pretty cool stuff. I like how it has a little explination there. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 are we able to raise the fuel cut of point with this system?is there a fail safe point no matter what i chose?Fuel cut can be raised or removed alltogether (MAF limit)The standard failsafes are in place according to turbo-tuner, so there are definitely some limits to what you can do wrong without monkeying your engine.

flyfishing3 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 thanks.what about altering shift points in AT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Can't answer that one, but I'm thinking that may be handled by the gearbox' own computer rather than the engine's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 see thats where i'm going.the ability to change fuel cut off is pointless unless you can change shift points,except for ultra high speeds for the most part or unless you manual shift your AT.
