Talk:Tuning

(**is this fuel tuning process for tuning stg 3 cars w/ upgraded MAFs?? If tuning a stg. 1-2+ car, what fueling maps, if any, would need to changed??? sry, this was the only way i could figure out how to ask you a question)

Technically, no, it isn't needed for 1-2+, but if you are running a bunch of boost on pump gas, a bit of extra fuel via LAMFA or KFLDBTS isn't a bad idea. - Nyet 17:58, 30 August 2009 (PDT)

Also, do you think you can add the exact process for flashing (read/write) the ECU. Do you have to take out fuses? Do you have to use a battery charger to make the voltage stable? Do you have to put it in boot mode? NorCalS4 21:18, 30 August 2009 (PDT)

No, no fuses necessary. The most important thing is making sure the voltage is ok... bench flashing is always the safest - Nyet 22:05, 30 August 2009 (PDT)

also, one this part "FLKDHBN - maximum requested pressure ratio " , isnt FLKDHBN suppose to be KFLDHBN?? - NorCalS4 21:42, 30 August 2009 (PDT)

uh yea. i guess is should fix that heh - Nyet 22:05, 30 August 2009 (PDT)

Anyways can you post the steps to flashing either here or on the tuning page? Also, is there a way to flash in teh car, though the OBD port? If so, would you like to explain that to me? Also, piggie gave me an invite to the "other" forum. I have been looking around and cant find much on ME7.1 tuning. got any links I should follow? - NorCalS4 10:31, 31 August 2009 (PDT)

I don't really know the technical details, if that's what you are asking.. I only know to point and drool the software UI. Its pretty straightforwards. For the non-boot mode ones, you really just need a stable 12V source. Radio off, A/C off, if you are doing it through the OBD port. For the boot-mode ones, you have to hold the boot pin to ground while you power up the ECU (easiest to do on a bench) for a second or so. As far as that forum goes, its more for discussion of details. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions. As you can see, discussing things here can be cumbersome - Nyet 11:19, 31 August 2009 (PDT)

okay. to me its ok discussin it here, if its okay with you. Ill be on the other forum more and will look around more. What method do you use for flashing? Do you road or dyno tune? I will be road tuning and i want to use the method that would be the most convenient one. - NorCalS4 11:45, 31 August 2009 (PDT)
