writing my own tunes

[Killer223]

So i want to start doing my own tunes. anyone here have a direction for me? what's needed.

i have EFI from anarchy right now, it's good, by all means it's great.

but well i'm a tinkerer. so i'd like to delve into writing some tunes.

do i get a base file? like stock tuning?

 

do i get a flashscan v2?

MM3?

smarty?

 

I've tried reading as much as i can from EFI and MM3 but none really answer my questions as what i need to write my own tunes.

I would suggest hooking up with @AH64ID ...

Personally I like the UDC Pro tuning platform a lot better than EFI. It seems to have more tables available. 

 

To tune with UDC Pro you would need a Touch and a UDC Pro Dongle... that's it. 

 

If you dont plan on running Smarty box tunes you can get a MM3 and save some cash. It's a touch without any Smarty tunes. 

[Killer223]

so just order and MM3 and it'll come with the software needed with tables? or... i'm not going to run "Box" tunes.

this is more for a adventure into the tuning world than anything.

with MM3 can i change the EB map? how strong it comes on? etc? i've read a few that state you can and some say you cant. i'm also after more timing for mpg's,

like i said it's just to play with.

if you could hook me up with what is needed, and maybe a link. i'd be grateful.

You should download UDC Pro and look at all the availabe tables for your MY. There are some exhaust brake tables in UDC Pro for a 2008 G56.

The MM3 will allow you to put UDC Pro tunes into your ECM, and have digital gauges.

i can't seem to find on weather this MM3 with UDC pro will let me have my DPF and EGR deleted. and i can't seem to find a place to add to cart and buy said equipment.

[AH64ID]

I found out yesterday that a MM3 is actually more money than a Touch, despite not having box tunes. 

 

 

AFAIK they can both do deletes as they both use UDC Pro. I'll do some more research. 

[Killer223]

thank you for finding this info for me.

[AH64ID]

Still researching... The Touch is not able to do deletes, but I am not sure on the MM3 yet. 

 

The MM3 comes with a CommMod so its' actually cheaper than a touch/commod.

Does mm3 has access to different / more tables than the touch?  I was under the impression that the tuning tool / platform was the same, but the touch had built in canned tunes?  

 

 

[AH64ID]

Same impression... but I've heard different things. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. 

 

MM3 seems to use UDC Pro so same tables... but not sure how it deletes.

MM3 is sold without tunes. Touch comes with canned tunes. Im sure of that.

[Killer223]

ok well from what i see, running the WARP software and the UDC, there is an option int he WARP that is not in the UDC. screen shots to fallow, on the left there is a diagnostic option on WARP and it's not there in UDC. all else looks the same.

 

and it' sunder said diagnostic options that you can do all kinds of things.. things i have no clue about.

 

 

[AH64ID]

PM me your number and I'll give you a call to chat about what I know. 

[Me78569]

Thanks for the info. 

[Killer223]

well from what i see, i can buy a raceME ultra, at the tune of $1500 then i have to also purchase the Warp license key dongle for another 540$

 

So if that's it i'm not playing. i could do the raceme, but adding another 540 just be able to write my tunes doesn't sound like it's ever pay for it's self, and mainly all because i want to play with the tuning. kinda as a hobby. leaves much to think on.

[Me78569]

@AH64ID 

 

Can you clarify the pricing needed to do deletes + tune yourself in realtime?  I am also VERY confused on what you actually need.

 

 

[Killer223]

they have some adjustments you can do in real time, but to use the warp software i'm seeing i have to spend the coin of 540$.

so we shall see what comes of this.

 

[AH64ID]

The $1499 pricing includes the required dongle for custom tuning on warp. The race me without the dongle is 1299. So you "save" 340 by buying the package. 

 

I just realized you have to login and select US during checkout to get US pricing. Otherwise it looks like it's 1799 euros, since it's a European company.

Does that allow to tune on the fly?  I think the commod is required for that?
