We have released the self tuning software package for Euro+Drive Lite. The self tuning software enables you to make your own tunes AND it allows you to easily switch between different tunes. The package comes with 5 ready to run tunes, Dynamic, Dynamic+, Race, Race+, and Dimsport's tune.
We also include 8 tunes that are intended to serve as a starting point for self tuning. These base maps are not intended to be run as is, they are simply there to give you a base to work from. There is a lot of flexibility with this package. Of course we include an excellent and complete instruction manual. The package is a free download on the eurocompulsion.net site.
I am proud to say that we worked directly with Dimsport to improve this software and I am very happy with the result. I am NOT a computer guy, I have people working here who are, but computers are not my thing. So, it was very important to me that this software be easy to use, and at least somewhat intuitive.
If you haven't seen Euro+Drive Lite, it's a module that alters boost to increase performance. The hardware is made in Italy by Dimsport and I think it's the best on the market. I could have used hardware from anyone, I chose this system because it's the best. It's rugged and offers gains in performance the other boxes just don't match.
Here is a picture of the module itself:

Now let's look at the new software, then I'll briefly describe its functions:

This is pretty simple. The blue line represents the stock boost curve. Note it's shape is not relevant here, it's just a reference line to work from. The orange line's distance from the blue line represents the changes to the stock boost level. This particular map is Dimsport's US 124 map. On this map, the orange line is an equal distance from the blue line from about 2300rpm (essentially when boost starts) up until about 6000rpm. From there it goes down a bit. This brings the boost closer to the stock values, and if you manage to somehow get the engine to 7000rpm boost will return to stock values.
The boxes below have up and down arrows (they look like triangles) above and below the numbers. You simply click these arrows to increase or decrease the values. As an example, the "SET START" number in the example shown in 28. That's the number than controls the overall boost increase. If you want more boost, you raise it, less you lower it.
As an example our Dynamic map is set to 30 and has a very different curve at higher rpm. The self tuning version of the software has a maximum value of 35. However, if you are sure of what you are doing, and need a higher number you can go all the way to 60 by using our base maps and then modifying them for your needs. You can adjust the curve, although with the self tuning software you can only move it down, and then only at two points, which is what you see in the sample shown. Only the full professional software can move the curve up, and with good reason. However, again, if you have a good understanding of tuning, you can use our official maps, or the self tuning base maps to access various curves that are effective on this engine.
My official recommendation is to use the software to switch maps, or to make small changes. For example you could make a map that's right between Dynamic and Race. Or you could move the Dimsport map up to 35. With those small changes you are very safe. If you crank it right up to 60 with a highly modded curve on a stock engine, I would not expect good results.
That's it in a nutshell. Of course the actual instructions are lot more detailed, and my team and I are usually around to help.
The PLUS versions of the new maps are slightly more aggressive versions of the normal Dynamic and Race maps. The only differences are in power from 6000-6500, so they do not increase peak power, but the do add power up at the very top of the rpm range.
OH, and we now have an alternative way that may make installation of the module a lot easier for those of you with big hands, or arthritis. Getting at the cam position sensor is quite easy this way. You can remove the plastic cowling that covers the windshield wiper mechanism and then unbolt a metal access plate. Then there is tons of room (well....relatively) to get your hand in there and access that sensor's electrical plug. I'll post pictures and instructions on this another time.
