RomRaider

i am use 10k resostor for 104 pin. Before connect gnd to pin, after power on and after 5-10 sec gnd from 104 pin disconnect.

Wrong topic for your question but the ms42/43 wiki has links to new and old garageflasher. The new version has worked zero times for me. The old version works mostly. Put the ground wire to pin 104, turn on power, click connect and after 20% connecting remove the wire. Works for me if the power supply is decent.

But still the garage flasher is quite unreliable. I normally use the chipsters mss5x flash tool. Works 100% and no need to open the ecu. Then only time you need to use garageflasher is if you want to make the ecu virgin again. Converting between versions can be done using the mss5x flash tool. But I don't see any need for version change if your ecu is AD, C6 or CA

I will shortly post next definition file. With that you can get rid of the secondary air pump. Just zero out the secondary air injection maps and disable DTCs 50, 25 and 62. The vehicle speed limiter is already there.

You can boost the engine using the stock ms42 and using these definition files to do it. I'm currently in process of doing so and now I'm dialing in the fuel maps on vacuum area and low boost. All seems fine. I will start thread about results when we get that working fine. For boosting you need bigger maf (we are using m54b30 maf with 1k resistor) and you need to get rid of the maf limits or it will throw maf fault code under boost. I have added this to the new definition file (under forced induction). You also don't need to know what definition file to use. Just use the latest for ms42 and romraider will open the bin using right definition file. Of course if your ecu is something different than AD, C6 or CA version, then you need to change your ecu version.

Aand here is the next definition file:


I have tested most of the stuff but of course I haven't got time to test every map on all three versions. But I have made some fixes compared to the last one and added:
- catalyst heating maps
- secondary air injection maps
- some fuel and ignition maps
- deceleration maps (mostly untested)
- MAF plausibility checks for forced induction
- ecu ids for adaptation table reading

@pazi88
There is a failure in deceleration tables .
You should change the adresses for ac on - ac off tables for ignition retard.

Thanks for your work !

umm.. can you be more precise? Are the ac on/off tables mixed or just wrong address. Or those don't work at all? Which SW version?

Sorry be in hurry today ...
Only mixed. Swap them both an it will be fine.
Location are okay.

First post here, but ive been working and reading between forums for about 6 months tuning with TunerPro software mostly until I came across here, so I set up rom raider got my bin and your xml file now which seems to be the most complete, thank you btw.

Questions:
I have my brothers 00 323i auto AD virgin I'm working on now, I custom built a ghost cam tune map only problem I have is blipping the throttle will cause it to stall also at idle it will come in and out of a good lope and for short bits of time it will decide to miss really fast like a machine gun then go back to lopey after a while, what maps on here can I adjust idle for cold and warm for the extra overlap.

also what maps on here do I adjust for exhaust popping modifications, oh and right now I have the 328 ad version bin. loaded with your xml, do I need to be on a 323 auto AD bin or are they the same. and one more thing, normally in tuner pro I load only 64kb bin and XDF files to make tunes and flash with galleto. when I save out of romraider how do I make sure its the 64kb flash file

Few things:

*Did you clear adaptions after you write a new file to DME? I think that is a good idea.

*Have you datalogged the problem?

*328 and 323 have different files I know that for a fact. You can use either but the fuel trims and ign timing will be more accurate for the correct engine for the tune

*MS42 only uses a 32kb flash file, unlike the 64kb MS43. If you are editing the 512kb and need the 32kb you can use a hex editor to pull out the 32kb. I forget the address right now sorry, but its easy to find. Just search the software version its the first or second line in the 32kb dump sourounded by blank space.

New version:


v0.34
- added checksum delete for 512kb files. Credit from this goes to Tobias Sjöberg
- added few dtc's
- added electric cooling fan maps
- added Individual Cylinder Multiplicative Factors (TI_AS_CYL)
- added antijerk and missfre detection maps
- fixed some errors (for example the one told by Lambda1)

And about that checksum delete. It disables checksums from partial file. And the switch does changes to both partial and full flash sections. So after flashing in the full flash with checksums disabled, you need to read partial again and the do your tuning to that.

Hey man sorry took so long to get back with you, I'm aware the 328 amd 323 are differnt , I loaded that on his because it had ews delete , but I think you are right , also I did clear adaptations, I'll just put him back to the virgin 323i full flash..


One more question why can I not input neg values on vanos idle maps in Romraider? It's annoying as hell

First of all why would you like to put negative values there? Secondly The cams don't have infinite range that they can rotate. On intake it's 80 to 120 degrees. And on exhaust it is 85 to 105 degrees. Those are crank angles compared to lobe center on cam. If you put values outside those windows, you will get vanos error codes because the cams can't reach the wanted value. Thirdly the vanos map values are unsigned integers. Which means that they can only be positive. okay with correct conversion factor you can have negative values using uint. But in this case after conversion the min limit is 60 with 0x0 hex value and max limit 155,625 with hex value 0xFF

OOT but ... I think he will do "Ghost-Cams" for lumpy idle mode because of more overlap like the MS43 Guys do this with .XDF files in tuner pro ... there are negativ values in .XDF.
You can do it by another way ...but Ghost-Cams sounds like s***-

^Negative values are for the reduced-amount-of-maps mod All unneccessary maps are set to FF for faster flashing.

I have been using TunerPro software forever so excuse my ignorance, xml is a little new to me as is romraider I have just been playing around with it on my brothers and a few bench setups, I like the overall user experience versus TunerPro software. appreciate the input. Are there any tuned or not tuned xml definitions for 323i, the one I have been using is 328i on my brothers and I'm sure that is the source of most of my issues with his.
