I'm going to be changing to a new tuner and having a new tune made from scratch here soon. I'm the type of person that likes to play with different small adjustments if possible and datalog to see the effects. I used to tinker w/ my AEM standalone on my MKIV Supras in the past to dial in an optimize the tune. I know EcuTek allows your tuner to set certain custom inputs user-adjustable via EcuTek's RaceROM phone software for on-the-fly adjustments... and you have four map slots that can change on-the-fly via cruise control. So two question:
1.) Besides your typical burble controls, what are some useful custom inputs to request for your tuner to enable? I'm not entirely sure what parameters a tuner can set to be user-adjustable and know many may be questionably less-than-safe to the average idiot. Here's some of my thoughts... I have no idea they're possible...
- Negative Max Torque Request Per Gear: use as a form of traction control and power dial across all maps with only negative adjustments available, 0 being the tune's intended max targets
- Rolling AntiLag Parameters (Boost Target, Ignition Ramp Rate, etc.): allow for a more dialed RAL experience... assuming this feature works effectively by now
- Traction Control Adjustments: not sure if EcuTek allows for a simple way to dial in the factory TC?
- Fan Control Max Override: request fan speeds to be at max for fastest cooling between runs / sessions
2.) What are efficient uses of the additional map slots? I'm using a ethanol sensor to allow for full flex capability so no need for separate maps for E%. I was thinking of requesting two maps (normal & aggressive) w/ and w/o methanol injection activated... and have a switch hardwired to enable/disable the methanol system completely. The positive would be the ability to use zero methanol for 95% of everyday driving while having the ability to enable a methanol-specific map and switch when I want a lil extra kick. The negative would be adding a point of failure (me) if I forget to switch the methanol kit on after swapping to a methanol-specific map. --- This seems convenient to allow me to micro-manage methanol usage via map selection and power level via user-adjustable max torque per gear.
Sooo, anyone have any suggestions or want to share their setups? Any quality of life user-adjustable or creative inputs that most people don't think of?
