If you haven’t, you might want to look at your electrical control unit, or ECU. The ECU is in charge of everything from fuel injection to your brakes and can be tuned so that you will get the very best performance possible from your car, whether you’re looking to maximize mileage or fuel efficiency. Most tuning can be done through software on a basic interface. Using programs specifically designed for ECU tuning, the most sophisticated tuning can be performed. ECU tuning software could be the difference between a car that runs all right and a car that runs great. Tuning your ECU used to consist of physically taking out the EPROM chip from the unit before the advent of software. But as a result of technological advancements, the process is now much easier than that. The on-board diagnostics port is now used to do tuning. Even if you don't have any experience in this area, you’ll quickly learn how to use the programs because ECU tuning software is designed with the user in mind. When using software intended for your ECU, there are numerous benefits. Finding maps or new applications for your car is usually difficult for instance. When you utilize tuning software, it commonly comes with map data sets for most car models and makes. You can do targeted searches with a range of options so that when you search map data sets, you find exactly what you’re looking for, as opposed to blindly searching the internet. For makes of European cars, there are often maps as well. When you use software, many parts of tuning instantly become easier. For instance, the program may automatically convert measurements into the practical elements you would like to see-the new changes in your ignition timing or fuel economy. When you want to view your data, there are many ways you can do this. Depending on how you like to take in information, you can usually pick from tables, 3-D graphic representations, or 2-D linear charts. All of these can show you complete data sets and identify specific maps. All of these viewing methods are helpful, but 3-D charts in particular can really show you where you still need to do a little fine-tuning. Your engine gets tuned down to the millisecond when you tune your ECU properly. This sort of fine-tuning is easier when you can compare your maps, both the original maps to the modified ones and all the modified maps to one another. With software, you can compare your maps next to each other. Checksum modules are also typically included so you can make adjustments as you work. All of this makes it possible for more precise tuning. The software to look for that will help you achieve that correct fine-tuning is one that comes with a training program so that you learn how to utilize it. So that you’re always working with the most recent version, you also want seek out technical support and program updates and development. Before you choose which ECU tuning software to get, see if there's a trial period so that you can get the feel of it. This way you can see if the maps and layout are simple to read and customize.
