@lazar2175 3 года назад

So i have bought an Mk4 GTI and i want to start modding it. As i'm on budget, I was looking to be able to tune the car as I progress with the mods, and I don't fancy paying a tuner every 2-3 months just because I upgraded a few parts. So do you reckon I could tune the car myself using the Kess V2? I've tuned standalone ECU's before using TunerStudio and there are a bunch of tutorials, however the Titanium ECM doesn't seem to have that many. Or do you think I could get it remote tuned? I'm not sure how would that work with heavily modded car and that's why I want to tune it myself, local tuners are asking €350+ for a tune plus it's 2.5hr drive each way so I really want to do it myself.

I’m not entirely sure if that’s just a random statement or a dig at me I’ll try and converse with you in a polite way as that’s the sort of person I am. The point of the set of videos I did were to show people they don’t have to spend a fortune on mapping their car. I used an online only mapping company to change all the variables as I wanted more than just a stage 1 map. At no point in any of the set of videos did I declare I’m skilled in mapping cars.

Using kess to retrieve the files is the easy bit. You need a programme like ecm titanium to then open the ecu file to change the variables. There are thousands of tutorials on the internet for ecm titanium. I took the sensible option and once I got the file I sent it to a qualified mapper who did the hard work for me for a minimal fee.

With that in mind if I had bricked the ecu I would of essentially also created a lot more content with removal and installation of all parts I just mentioned. I did enjoy doing it though just wish I had the cash to buy all original kess equipment as it is something I could definitely get into

You know this a clone...

I do as I talk about the problems with clones not doing checksum with the files so the car doesn’t start. This is part 1 of a 4 part series I did

You are crazy for not using a battery charger on your car for this

Risky with fake tool

@DriveWayRay 3 года назад

It’s risky with fake or real tool albeit more risky with a fake one. I knew the risks and calculated the cost as minimal. This was not my daily in fact the previous 12 months of ownership I drove it a total of 1500 miles.

@@DriveWayRay I saw that in other parts I’m watching 4 now. I was watching for tool info. Thanks

@@Thumper68 I’ll be honest if money wasn’t a problem I would of spent 2k on a legitimate kit. If people understand the risks of clone kits and financial implication if it all goes wrong then it could be worth it. I knew that but I used a legitimate mapper to change the variables as I want it to succeed. If it had failed there would of been lots of videos of me putting a used ecu in with barrels and transponder and whatever else I had to replce

@@DriveWayRay I totally understand we all looking for safest and cheapest way. I wouldn’t ever pay 2k if I could afford it or not honestly just don’t feel it’s worth it. The fact they can make clones that can work for 60 tells me the hardware in the new one doesn’t cost 2k. Of course your paying for little more then just the hardware so I understand 3-500 but that’s where I stop. Maybe that’s why I prefer my 68 Camaro I just build my own hp ;)

Always go to the clone way is the safest way my humpty Dumpty programmers if brick 🧱 it brick your second hand ECU not your stock ECU 🤓😁 never ever play with stock ECU if get brick you are done one thing is the great message is you can collect your ECU file at a safe device and cloud file lockers so Incase your ECU get brick you can clone your send hand ECU. But as long stock ECU is fine keep it safe and play around with a second hand ECU from the scrap yard .
