✨You probably know me from Ghidra courses, multimap writing, VIN binding, map coding, etc., i.e. reverse engineering.
But here I will teach you petrol engine chip tuning – from scratch, based on MED17 and MG1/MDG1 (but it also works for MED9 and ME7, Simos18,19 and others).
Check out the action plan in the first video.
✨If you are forced to upload other tuners' programmes to your customers' ECUs and buy files from them, or if you are just starting your adventure with chip tuning, or if your first self-made ECU modifications are not working well – you've come to the right place.
✨ I assume you already have some experience with WinOLS, but even if it's new to you, I'm confident you'll be able to handle it.
✨ I explain all the necessary aspects carefully. No ‘dividing the map into zones’ and naive ‘five per cent here and ten per cent there, just because’ – I explain the physics of how it works in a simple and accessible way.
✨ Extrapolation and decalibration methods will become clear – no stress when tuning any petrol engine.
✨During the course, we will provide a comprehensive introduction to petrol engine tuning in the WinOLS environment. We will begin by discussing the purpose of the training, the basic programme settings and the preparation of the file for processing.
✨Then we will move on to issues related to ignition maps – their location, structure (IGN Min, Opt, Base) and methods of adding them. We will explain the logic of the ignition controller based on the engine's operating point and line, and the significance of the Ign Opt map. We will discuss issues related to knock detection, including the concepts of noise level, knock reaction, knock reaction factor and actual knock detection methods.
✨We will present the Clapeyron equation and compare the old and new concepts of engine control. We will discuss the mixture control system – the parameters Lambda, Lambda Factor, injector calibration and the Lambda from Driver's Wish map. Later on, we will discuss fuel pressure, compression limits, and the relationship between volumetric efficiency and optimal torque.
✨We will explain the relationship between Volumetric Efficiency and Torque Optimal, torque conversion to air flow, and methods of tuning VE and TQ Optimal maps. We will also analyse temperature limits, turbocharger efficiency, and the relationship between torque, flow, and pressure.
✨We will look at the exact flow of information in the petrol engine controller, including map identification (ID).
✨We will discuss tuning methods – decalibration and extrapolation – and their practical application. In the practical part, we will analyse the MED17.1.27 controller from the VAG group, including DW, e-Wastegate preset, EGT simulated, TQ limits/mode, lambda and lambda factor.
✨Finally, we will focus on practical engine tuning using the extrapolation method with the safe use of decalibration, parameter and limiter corrections, and searching for and tuning other elements in the MED17 and MG1/MDG1 controllers.
✨We will conclude the course with a summary and an indication of directions for further development of the tuner's skills.
