eCtune

I've spent about a week now playing with ectune, and here are my impressions. Keep in mind that I am not a professional tuner, and only have experience tuning my own vehicle with Uberdata and crome over the past 2 years. Also, ectune has very little documentation at this point, so all my tuning was done while figuring out what various things did. Here we go: Basemap creation is very intuitive. Boost table creation and injector adjustments are made when opening a basemap. I have a prelude, so the fuel maps were way off, but that is to be expected. The fuel/ign tables are smaller in size (pixels, not actual rows/columns) than other software, which lets you have more room for datalogging graphs and sensor info. Datalogging is amazing with ecune. Sensor info is configurable, so you can tailor the display to your liking while logging. I'm also getting almost twice the samples per second that I was getting with other software. The datalog graphs are simple to use, customizable, and work exactly as I expected them to. Very useful! The number of options for configuring your tune are staggering. I spent probably a good 30 minutes clicking through all the options just to figure out which ones I could and couldn't use. The ECU code itself seems much more solid than other software. I used to have horribly rich startups that I spent hours trying to iron out with crome, and nothing I tried worked. The AFR would start at 9 or 10, and slowwwwwly work its way up to the 14's. Now, the car fires up with to within 1 AFR of what I want every time. Using the auto-adjust worked pretty well to get my AFRs close to what I wanted when I started tuning. Closeloop mode with wideband input works alright, though it doesn't seem any better than openloop to me. Need to test this one more. Overall, tuning with ectune has been great. I didn't run into any show-stopping bugs at all. It did crash once or twice, but I was unable to reproduce the cause, and it never crashed during datalogging. Here are my suggestions: DOCUMENTATION! There is a severe lack of documentation with current DIY tuning programs. This could really put eCtune above and beyond even more than it already is. Status indicator when creating basemap: When you click 'Finish' to make a basemap, it just sits there like nothing is happening for 10 seconds or so. The first time I did it, I thought something was wrong. Shortcut key to apply the suggested fuel correction when you highlight just one cell. Currently it only works for 2 or more. Also, where is the auto-tune? Would have saved me a lot of time to let ectune auto-correct as I drove in the map regions I specified, instead of having to pull over and apply the auto-corrections manually. If it exists, I couldn't find it! My setup: -1999 Prelude base, 5MT -JRSC kit, 6-8psi during boost on the datalogs -p28, cellphone-usb datalog cable (prolific chip) -Ostrich v1 -Innovate LC-1

when using h22 maps you should have a multiplier of 1. so you change old and new injector size to 290/33. Good report though.. thanks.. Documentation will come. twice the amount of sample and how about 3 or 4 times the amount of data for datalogging. No auto-tune will come. Maybe much later but not now

twice the amount of samples and the data that i get from the ecu is 3-4 times as much. Btw i fixed ectune with old injector size. When creating a h22 map. Old size is now 330, new size 330. and fuel maps are much closer fixed in r5
