Go easy on me, they are silent, and my first attempt at videos. Things are smoother in real life, and the resolution isn't the best. Whilst the ROM I've written for 88590015 will do all this, the software I uploaded so far only supports the writing using Ecuflash (the third video).

John and Dave for president now!
Now I think that there is a very small gap with Motec and Gems

 

Definitely cool stuff, John. But, now you have to make it for all of our ROMs.

If the masses really knew what this was, many more people would want it. From the videos, someone who doesn't know what live tuning is won't understand that you are actually doing all of this tuning while the car is running, real-time.

Making changes to the ROM with the car idling, for example to tune your idle or your injectors, is invaluable. Instead of flashing several times and shutting the car on and off, you can do it all in a matter of minutes and see the realtime changes take effect. Once happy with the final settings, then they can be flashed in for permanent keep.

Or, if you are going to the track today and want to change some timing/fueling, but don't want to reflash, you can adjust the RAM maps and your done in a couple seconds. Drive like that for as long as you like and change the maps on the fly again.

One thing that would be cool (that I don't know if you can do with your mod), would be able to save the RAM settings. For example, DSMLink was only RAM tuning (didn't have a ROM flashing capability). But you could save several different tunes to write to RAM anytime you wanted and switch realtime, of course. Since we have ECUFlash and can flash our ROMs, this really isn't needed, but may prove useful, nonetheless.

Awesome job as usual, though, John.

 

This is awesome, I can see this cutting down the time to properly scale injectors and get the trims spot on without having to reflash a bunch of times. Good work and hopefully you can get this working w/ ROM 94170015

 

this definitely makes it a bit more clear.

The knock trace is pretty fantastic. Does it have a variable threshold? Like >3 counts? These really get me excited

 

The method in the third video saves your work in Ecuflash. If you were to flash this ROM it would mean that your latest RAM changes would be restored every time the ECU was cold reset.

Presently my PC app only allows direct editing of the fuel and timing as shown in the first video. To do the injector size, the other alt maps and the VE maps on SD versions you need to use the method in the third video using Ecuflash, still with the engine running of course.

 

Wow. This is going to make tuning an evo so much easier.

 

88590015 download now includes all the features shown in the videos - map tracing, fuel and ignition editing right there in the Evo Live Map application.

Even with your engine off you should be able to read & write fuel and timing maps... please let me know!

 

Excellent work.

 

this is awesome! Well done! Thanks for all your hard work

 

WoW how can your efforts be rewarded.
you truely have saved alot of ppl alot of money
is the main uk evo 8 rom patchable?
96260009

 

Just finished coding 96260009, need to add SD to that too. Then I want to do 90550001 and then work out the minimum set of US Evo 8s to do, I think there are two of them?

 

but we can have live map 96260009 without having to have SD running can't we?

 

88580014?

good work.....this is a great advantage, i hate having to switch off for tuning!
