DO NOT BEAT ON THE CAR UNTIL YOU HAVE THE FINAL PUMP GAS MAP. DOING SO ON A REVISION CAN POTENTIALLY HARM THE ENGINE AS IT HAS TO BE DATA LOGGED AND CHECKED FIRST! Once this step is complete, and while waiting for the next set of instructions, the car can, With the BASEMAP installed, we are ready to start the actual tuning process. The BASEMAP is a safe, proven, and tested custom built starting point that we design based on all of your modification and is used on other similar setups. As long as you completed the initial setup properly, the BASEMAP will be safe to start and drive the car on. This starting point is a watered down version of the final product that your completed tune will be based off of. Boost, timing, and fueling limits will be low at the start of this process meant as a safety for properly running cars to MINIMIZE failure. All of the these limits will be gradually increased as tuning progresses.
Please note, as stated previously, a BASEMAP is meant to minimize failure. It has been tested on a vast majority of customer cars and has been proven to be safe. That DOES NOT guarantee a failure will not occur. Just as a completely stock engine/turbo/drivetrain with zero modifications can fail, a vehicle modified past stock will decrease the safety margin of error and a failure can occur. Failing, worn, or faulty parts that may have operated issue free on a stock car can almost immediately fail once more power is applied to them. This is the risk you take and accept when you modify your vehicle.
1.
With the vehicle running, open the ECUTEK APP and go to MY CAR and then select Data logging. From there, select the folder icon at the top. This is the datalogging parameters selection.
2.
You will go into the folder icon(not the gear icon) select the file with a name starting with "ST_"(ST_Q_BASIC/ST_Q_RS/ST_Z_BASIC/ST_Z_FLEX/ST_VQ37). Once you select it, all of the parameters required will auto populate and you will not be able to change them. Please note, if you haven't loaded the basemap in, you will be missing a lot of the parameters.
3.
It is now time to send a test idle log datalog. Going forward, this will be how you take and send a datalog. After the BASEMAP, you will receive a revision, datalog it, send the log, and wait for your next revision and instructions. To datalog, you will go to MY CAR then select DATA LOGGING. From there, you will see the list you previously selected. At the bottom, you will see a circle button labeled START. That has how you start a datalog. To stop a datalog, the same button you pressed to start the log will now say STOP. Press STOP once the datalog is complete. The first datalog will be of the car idling once fully warmed up. Please make sure the car is up to temperature before taking a datalog. The coolant temperature should be at or over 185*f. An easy way to know the car is fully warmed up is by looking at the datalog parameter BOOST TARGET MULTIPLIER. Once the car is fully warmed up, this parameter will show 100%. The only time this parameter should be under 100% is during warm up. This parameter will tell you that the coolant temp, oil temp, and charge air temps are all within range and neither too hot or too cold. After you complete and send this datalog, you will be provided with specific instructions at every step until your tune is complete.
4.
Now that you've taken your idle datalog, it is time to send it to SONICTUNED. In the ECUTEK main menu, select MY FILES then select Data logs. From there, you will see that the logs are labeled by date and time with the top log being the newest. Select the top log and then press "SEND TO SONICTUNED" to send the log. There will be no confirmation once sent. You will receive a response within 72 hours. Once this is done, I will receive an email with all of the information from this step and once checked, send a detailed set of instructions via email for the next step. The car is not safe to race or beat on at this point but can be driven normally.
