RallyMachine Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I was getting 1.4 degrees of FBKC at high rpm and was going to go into my map and see if I could familiarize myself with editing and possibly correct the issue myself. Unfortunately after opening the map there was no axis data on any of the maps (RPM, load, etc.) What am I doing wrong? Did the protuner lock the maps to prevent editing or what?

RallyMachine Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I think v1.29 is the latest I can go with an 05. Not sure, can someone either confirm or deny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 not the program, the definitions. the ROM META data. You can download them from romraider.com -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heiche Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Can you see the values if you open your .hex file in RomRaider ECU Editor (rather than EcuFlash)? BtSsm - Android app/Bluetooth adapter. LV, logging, gauges and more. For 05-14 Legacy (GT, 2.5, 3.0, 3.6), 02-14 WRX, 04-14 STi, 04-14 FXT, 05-09 OBXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download them from romraider.com Can you see the values if you open your .hex file in RomRaider ECU Editor (rather than EcuFlash)? It worked in RomRaider after I downloaded the ECU definitions, thanks! Any pros or cons to using RomRaider vs. ECUflash or basically the same thing?

fahr_side Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Romraider is a little easier to do editing tasks with, but cannot read or write to the ECU. OTOH, ECUflash has no logger, dashboard, tools for scaling injectors etc. etc. On the third hand, many parameters are defined in ECUflash long before they're available in RR definitions. With a little practice you soon learn which tool to use for which job Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

Th3Franz Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Best practice is imho: Use RomRaider only for logging Use EcuFlash only for making any changes to the ROM and flashing. Do not save a ROM and make changes in both RomRaider ECU editor and EcuFlash. Funky things can happen.... -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNVAR Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I don't believe ECUFlash 1.29 or below works properly with the newer definitions so you're kind of SOL in that regards.... stuck with using RR ECU Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would it be kosher to just edit maps in RR and flash to the ECU with ECUflash? Who tuned this? Eric at IPS Motorsports in Columbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Sure, lots of people do that, myself included. edit: Actually, I'm not 100% sure with 1.29. I edit my ROMs using RR ECU editor, but I flash using ECUFlash 1.42.... Not sure what will happen with 1.29. Do a test write first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Why are you on 1.29? Do you have a VAGCOM cable? Have you tried a newer version? If you have an actual Tactrix cable, just update to the latest ECUFlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyMachine Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yes I use a VAGCOM. Maybe that's the reason why I needed to use 1.29... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If you're going to get into tuning your own car, consider stepping up to the OP2 cable so you can use the latest version of ECUflash. It's also really handy to be able to log on the fly to SD card, for when things happen that feel odd, or for making long logs to really dial in part-throttle boost control etc. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.
