HPAcademy Practical Reflash Tuning Course

Description If you’re interested in tuning modern performance vehicles then the technique of reflashing is increasingly becoming the best and most cost effective technique available to you. Reflashing allows the maps held in the stock ECU to be modified and optimised the same way the factory calibration engineers did the job. While the way the engine responds to fuel and ignition is no different than a standalone ECU, the way the ECU operates, what the maps in the ECU look like, and the correct approach to tuning the engine do differ. This course will give you the skills and techniques you need to successfully reflash a stock ECU. : How a factory ECU measures load How to deal with torque limits How to correctly scale a MAF sensor How to adjust your tune for new injectors How to adjust the fuel delivery How to optimise ignition timing How the factory knock control system functions The difference between open loop and closed loop Speed density vs MAF load measurement How to configure and use a data logger After completing this course you will have the knowledge and skills to confidently begin tuning cars with a commercial or open source reflashing package. More importantly though you will learn the HPA 6 Step Process that you can apply to any tuning job - This will give you the correct order to approach your tuning and ensure you don’t overlook any critical tasks. This course assumes an understanding of EFI tuning principles, and if you’re new to tuning we would recommend you consider our EFI Tuning Fundamentals course and Understanding AFR courses first. NOTE: This course covers reflashing using a commercial or open source reflashing package. We don’t cover how to find maps in a stock ROM file or how to reverse engineer a stock ECU. This course does not include the software or hardware required to reflash your vehicle - We don’t sell these products.   WHAT YOU WILL LEARN How a factory ECU measures load How to correctly scale a MAF sensor The 6 Step process to apply to any reflash job How to optimise fuel delivery and ignition timing How to configure your ECU for new injectors How to use data logging to optimise your tune   Course Curriculum GETTING STARTEDIntroductionHow To Use This CourseDisclaimerTuning on the Road or RacetrackREFLASH BASICSWhat is ReflashingLive Tuning vs ReflashingRequired HardwareReflashing PrecautionsWarrantiesOpen Source vs Commercial SoftwareCustom Software PatchesTorque LimitsOPERATING PRINCIPLESMAF-Based ECUsSpeed Density-Based ECUsLoad MeasurementOpen Loop vs Closed LoopCompensationsBASIC TUNINGData LoggingFuel DeliveryIgnition TimingADVANCED TUNINGMAF RescalingInjector ScalingAftermarket Injector Scaling - SubaruSpeed Density ConversionBoost ControlTransient TuningDiagnostic Trouble CodesKnock DetectionTHE 6 STEP PROCESSStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5: Optimising The TuneStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The RoadTUNING WITHOUT A DYNO - ROAD TUNINGIntroductionDisclaimerSteady State TuningFull Power TuningWorked Example LS PERFORMANCE/BIG CAM TUNING - HP TUNERSIntroductionStep 1: Download Existing ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF CalibrationStep 5: Optimising The TuneStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The RoadHP TUNERS - HOLDEN / HSV R8 / CHEVY SS - BASICIntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5: Optimising The TuneStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The RoadHP TUNERS - HOLDEN / HSV R8 / CHEVY SS - MAF RESCALE / VVE CALIBRATIONIntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5: Optimising The TuneStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The RoadHP TUNERS - HOLDEN / HSV R8 / CHEVY SS - 1 BAR SPEED DENSITY OSIntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5: Optimising The TuneStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The RoadHP TUNERS - FORD 'BOSS' 6.2L V8 F150 + ROUSH SUPERCHARGERIntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4-A: MAF And Injector ScalingStep 4-B: Speed Density System CalibrationStep 5-A: Optimising The TuneStep 5-B: Steady State TuningStep 5-C: Configuring Torque TablesECUFLASH - V11 SUBARU STIIntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been PerformedStep 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5-A: Optimising The TuneStep 5-B: Boost ControlStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The RoadCOBB - SUBARU WRXIntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5: Optimising The TuneHONDATA - HONDA DC5Introduction: Introduction to HondataStep 1: Downloading Existing Calibration/ROM FileStep 2: What modifications have been performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5-A: Optimising Individual Cam Maps and Optimising Cam Target MapStep 5-B: Optimising VTEC change over pointStep 5-C: Steady State Tuning and Live TuningStep 5-D: Adjusting all Maps SimultaneouslyECUTEK - FRS / BRZ / TOYOTA 86IntroductionStep 1: Downloading Stock ROMStep 2: What Modifications Have Been Performed?Step 3: Configure Base Tune FileStep 4: MAF/Injector ScalingStep 5: Optimising The TuneStep 6: Confirm Calibration On The Road
