After determining what the customer is seeking with their vehicle and looking at the hardware in place we then decide how we are going to achieve these goals through ECU reprogramming.
Creating the new modified file preferably requires a copy of the original data and the modification takes place using one of a few software suites that we have at our disposal. In our case we are fortunate enough to have licence for WinOLS, Dimsports Race2000, Swiftec and less frequently some others like HPT, Ecuedit, ECUflash Romraider and even tunerpro
Reading and Writing a file to the ECU or TCU takes place with with the programming tool that we have determined is best for the application and usually this would be a choice of Dimsport’s Genius or Trasdata, or for the latest vehicles – bFlash’s awesome new tool and for TCUs we’d most likely choose the Magic Motorsports Flex. We also use other programmers for specific applications eg HpTuners, Bitbox and Tactrix, APR and Integrated Engineering’s offerings plus a few more, then there’s the standalones and in some case’s we even bring out the old school eprom burner.
Having this choice allows us to carry a range of operations, Gearbox and ECU cloning, immobiliser deletes, ECU recovery from other parties bad flashes – basically anything that involves moving data on or off the ECU or TCU.
*We only use genuine hardware and software, no clones, no pirated software, no painful experiences
