Although this originated from a Chev truck page i think someone --smarter than me ---can figure out if this would work on our Crossfires

Re: EPROM Tuning Software

First, read Badburbans article on Prom tuning in the "Tech Articles" board, then read this http://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/promintro.shtml

Next, get yourself an inexpensive Laptop computer.

For FREE Prom editing software (although I would encourage to donate the $30 to register it) go to http://tunerpro.markmansur.com/

For prom burning hardware (burners, chips, adapters, ALDL cables, etc.) go to www.moates.net . I recommend that you use flash chips (can be erased and reprogrammed in 30 sec.on your burner) instead of Eproms because you don't need a UV eraser (takes 20 min. to erase an Eprom, 1 min. to program).

For free scanner/datalogging software go to http://winaldl.joby.se/ or go to http://www.ttspowersystems.com/diagnostic.htm for a full blown professional package (around $100 but I think it is worth it).

If you want to make your own ALDL cable go to http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/aldl8192/8192hw.htm and make this one. It is the best most reliable design that I have found.

Last but most important, read as much as possible. Check out all the link pages on the above sites and learn as much as you can. You can be burning your own chips for an initial investment of around $150 plus computer, then upgrade from there if you are so inclined. Be aware, there is a steep learning curve for Prom tuning. You can be datalogging and burning basic chips in a few weeks, but to be proficient at it takes a long time. It is not just logging some data, then burning a chip. It takes a good working knowledge of engine management to do it well. I have been doing it for almost 3 years and am proficient, but there is a lot more I want to learn. I believe this is a valuable tool to have if you want to get the most out of modern computer controlled EFI vehicles. There is a lot of untapped horsepower in those boxes just waiting to be let out with a keyboard. HTHRe: EPROM Tuning Software

I have a burner for GM vehicles and it's a pain to do adjustments to the chip on a dyno. flash is the way to go! you dont have to pull the chip to reprogramn these car.

 

This will not work. Our software is a lot more complex then the GM stuff. Even most of the tuners don'at have access to all the engine paramaters, only fuel and ignition for the most part. If it was that easy flashes wouldn't cost over a grand for certain cars.

But good find.

 

Even with the Mercedes software......it's a ***** to change much on the ECU.

 

It would be funny to see someone actually have the access to the Bosch software that was modified by MB... I would **** my pants... H
