Engine Configuration
01.52
| 00:00 | - We're going to start with the basic engine configuration which tells the ECU what engine it is controlling. |
| 00:07 | We can start here by clicking on the config page in the top left of the screen. |
| 00:11 | This will take us to the configuration page or alternatively we can do this directly from the tuning page by using the pop out menu and selecting configuration. |
| 00:21 | The advantage of using the config page is that it is set up with a help browser that explains options as you go. |
| 00:28 | For this example, we're going to set up a Mitsubishi 4G63 engine in an Evo 8. |
| 00:33 | First we need to set up the number of cylinders or rotors. |
| 00:37 | So in this case, we will enter four. |
| 00:40 | Next we have the engine type. |
| 00:42 | Here we can select four stroke, two stroke or rotary. |
| 00:45 | We're going to set the engine type to four stroke. |
| 00:49 | The custom TDC option is only needed if you're tuning an odd fire engine with the regularly spaced firing intervals. |
| 00:55 | So we can leave this off for most applications. |
| 00:59 | Next we have the data stream. mode and initial baud rate that can be set if we're communicating to an external device via serial. |
| 01:06 | We have the option to select the standard barometric pressure sensor or a marine sensor. |
| 01:13 | Memo text can be used to enter a short note about the map. |
| 01:17 | Perhaps the car or a customer's name or the fuel type could be put here. |
| 01:21 | VIN allows a VIN number to be entered which is used if the OBDII function is enabled. |
| 01:28 | Next we're going to set the firing order for the engine. |
| 01:31 | We can do this by double clicking on the firing order table setting. |
| 01:34 | The firing order for a 4G63 is 1342 so we can enter this. |
| 01:40 | This setting tells the ECU which injector and coil to operate in which order. |
| 01:44 | So it's critical to set this correctly. |
