ECM TITANIUM 3.0 – GASOLINE – SECTION 1

Welcome to the Course and to the community of ECM (ECU) tuners! Let us take a look at what we are going to cover in the Section

Let us see what is included in the package, when you order your dongle from ALIENTECH

Let us find out more about the dongle you receive. We shall take a look at some important precautions and recomendations on how to operate 'ECM Titanium 3.0' dongle (USB-key) and software

We shall see why 'ECM Titanium Backup' app is installed along with the main app. We will find out how the main app ('ECM Titanium 3.0') is updated and what is hepenning when you start up the main application

Let us take a look at the top menu sections and items. In this part (Part 1) we shall take a look at the following main menu items: 'File', 'Modify', 'Tools'. You will learn what subitems are useful for your day-to-day work and which ones are irrelevant in most cases

In this part (Part 2) we shall take a look at the following main menu item: 'Settings'. You will learn what the most optimal seetings are. How to connect to a proxy server (if required), how to change the GUI (Graphical User Interface) language, and even how to set a password for your dongle (your USB-drive provided by ALIENTECH)

In Part 3 we shall take a look at the following main menu item: 'Support', 'Info', 'Help'. You will learn how to synchronize your tool with ALIENTECH servers. How to view information about your licesne, subscription and downloaded drivers (map packs), and how to view the available keyboard keys combinations for quick access and quick actions

Find out what active icons do and how can you use them even before creating a project and before making any modifications to the ECU/TCM firmware files

Let us discuss the major things you should NEVER do to your USB-drive you receive from ALIENTECH. Very important!

A quick quiz of 5 questions to check the understanding of the main user interface features of the 'ECM Titanium 3.0' by ALIENTECH

Let us take a look at how to create a project. We shall find out how the compatible drivers are identified by the 'ECM Titanium 3.0'. What to do if a compatible driver has not been found

We shall see how to rum manual searches for drivers. We shall run searches based on the make and model of a vehicle, based on the make and model of the ECU/ECM. And we also take a look how to run a so-called 'Global' search based on your manual input of the make and/or model of your choice

Let us find out how to request a new driver (map pack from ALIENTECH) in case the automatic search for compatible drivers brought zero results. Or find out how to request a modification to an existing driver or addition of a new map (feature / deactivation, etc.) for the driver compatible with a ECU/ECM you work with.

In the video we will take a look at alternative driver search filters. We shall find out what custom (or 'personal') drivers are. How to make custom drivers. How to search for ALIENTECH official drivers only. How to search through the 'personal' (custom) drivers only.

Let us take a look at the coloring scheme used for drivers. By looking at the color you will be able to quickly understand the driver status

Finally we shall create the project and will take a look at how to accept the proposed (found) driver for the project. We shall see the main structure of the loaded map pack (the driver). We shall see how the maps are groupped together and why

A quick quiz of 5 questions to verify your knowledge on how to create projects in 'ECM Titanium 3.0'

Let us look at the structure of the project maps. Find out the grouping principles. Where to go and what to strart with - the basic principles and the starting point of the 'STAGE 1' performance tuning

We are going to analyze the first batch of maps associated with the engine torque. We shall start writing down all major values, limits and limiters to enable the safe and reliable 'STAGE 1' tuning

Optimal engine torque map does what it says. We shall quickly look at it and make a note of it

Let us look at the maximum requested torque values and how these can potentially enable us to implement the safe and reliable 'STAGE 1' tuning

We shall take a look at the first limiter in the firmware and will try to figure out how the value of the limiter can help us to do the safe 'STAGE 1' tuning

Let us discuss the subgroup of maps titled 'Maximum torque for gears'. We shall take a look how important they are. What these do and useful they are for 'STAGE 1' tuning

We shall try to understand what the torque monitoring maps are used for in the ECU

Let us find out the torque limiter value for the 'Sport' mode for this ECU we are analyzing

We shall try to understand how the torque monitoring maps can be related 

We shall try to understand how the torque monitoring maps can be related 

Let us find out what the anti-jerking control map is used for and if we need to ever adjust it in any way and why

Let us look into the torque limiter for the clutch protection. Let us find out the values inside and why the are the way they are and what to do with it

Let us see how irrelevant limiters of maximum torque (irrelevent for our 'STAGE 1' tuning job) look like and why they are irrelevant

A quick quiz of 5 questions to confirm your understanding of some basic principles of the firmware analysis in terms of ENGINE TORQUE ANALYSIS

Let us look into the factor injection correction maps and let us try to find out how useful or useless they are in terms of achieving 'STAGE 1' performance

Let us find out if the 'Injection correction (Lambda)' map is of any use

Let us take a look at the requested Lambda map and have a little discussion on how it all works and what Lambda means in terms of 'rich' and 'lean' air-fuel mixture

Let us look at the extremely important and useful maps titled 'Lambda for component protection' which do exactly what they say - they help ECU mitigate dangeroous temperatures inside the engine to avoide breakages and damage

Let us take a look if we can get anything useful from the injection enrichment map

Let us find out in this video how useful or useless (for 'STAGE 1' purposes) the injection correction maps are

A quick quiz of 5 questions to confirm your understanding of some basic principles of the firmware analysis in terms of INJECTION SYSTEM

Let us wrap up Section 1 and see what we got
