No offense at all Mayank, but rather than people telling me whether I should do it or not or whether I'd be wasting or utilizing my money, I want to find out what lower cost tools may be used to have access & change settings in the ECU & if you believe that theres no cheaper tool except the 400 dollar 500 dollar ones that can be used reliably, then I wont argue over that & take your views into consideration. Now maybe I wanna override that.Īnd with all due respect, this is precisely what I meant when I said in the opening post, no advises & warnings except regarding possible in neutral, VW cars do not allow the RPM to cross 3000. Tweaking the EGR map wouldnt really do the engine any harm.Įg. My suggestion would be not waste your money.īasic stuff would include remove speed limiters, rev limiters etc. What I know is that when you're in the brain of the car, the only things you can fiddle with is the maps/timings etc. Sharing of DIY Experiences with regard to ECU flashing are also welcome.

All the threads about ECU Remapping were about getting the ECU Remap done from professional services & not about tools that can be bought cheaply & or, basic tweaks that can be done by ourselves. MODS: if theres a similar thread, please direct me to it. just basic stuff that marginally improves engine response characteristics for me without possibly affecting the engine adversely in any fashion. When I say DIY ECU Tweaking, I dont mean to go all out & start readjusting the Fuel maps or ignition timing or so on. All I want to know is, if anyone has experience doing it with the cheaper tools or are the expensive ones like the Alientech Kess V2 a compulsion. When I talk about ECU tweaking, I am fully aware of the risks that go along with it. Please do not start the advice giving or warning about the risks of DIY ECU Flashing, & how it can blow up the engine & so on, unless the risk is solely associated with the poor nature of any tool mentioned that might brick the ECU. PS: The purpose of this thread is to gain some insight into affordable OBDII ECU Flashing tools & methods & achieving the tweak successfully. You can easily identify this on websites, its the translucent blue colored adapter with a sticker that says ELM327 OBDII
RISKS WITH ECU FLASHING ANDROID
I recently bought a cheap OBDII bluetooth scan adapter which works quite well with the torque android app but its basically a read info tool and fault code scan purpose tool. I am attaching a standard image available on almost every Chinese website that is selling this.ĭoes anyone on the forum have any idea about this? Also, if someones aware of some alternate tool, even if its relatively expensive, please do share details and feedback regarding first hand experiences would be greatly appreciated.

It comes with the cable & the software too (probably a cracked one) for just about 10 US dollars exclusive of shipping charges which are also quite nominal. The cheapest I could find was something called the Galletto 1260. For quite some time I've been going through a compulsive instinct to get a cheaper affordable tool to make minor tweaks to my cars ECU on my own & have been searching online.
