Yeah I couldn't give two sh*ts haha. Does anyone know if custom pcm code can be written, eg editing the actual assembler code? I realise you could brick the pcm pretty easily by doing this but I've seen it done on other ecus eg evo and skyline.

I gather by what rollex is saying that he wants to improve cold start idling and highway cruising economy and then learn more from there?

I don't see a problem with this as like he has said his car is far beyond stock now so the "start from stock tune" is mute!

I will add to those that think modifying someone else's tune isn't right. How do you think these tuners learnt to tune with xcal, hp, or vcm software? They learnt from others via either seeing what parameters they have modified or by calling other tuners and gathering feedback/fault finding so don't judge others when all have done the same in the past....

As turbotrana has said...rollex has paid for the services of having his software modified to which he owns...this is no different to buying windows, mac or any other software and modifying it as you see fit because you OWN that software!

The tuners don't think this is right because you put all the hard work in to the tune but you were PAID for your services...

Cool and the bit about modifying the actual PCM code, has anyone done that before?

edit: re the modifying if I was stealing their tune and copying it onto other peoples cars or claiming it was my own doing then selling my services to others, yeah I can understand that being a dick move but that is absolutely not what I am trying to do.

I do not believe anyone has modes the code. Not really much to be gained as the big players have mapped the bulk of the parametera required.

Danny Nagy has apparently mapped a few the big boys haven't, but I don't know how he's done so.

Re map tracing,tuning these cars requires a different approach to older live tune ecus.

Also re reading other people's tunes it's a complex issue but I believe you will learn more logging and testing than just c&p'ng someone else work. You'll also gain an understanding as to why the changes influence the operation of the pcm.
