Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: -SlowSilverTIPJason- on December 21, 2011, 06:56:54 PM Just when everyone starts getting a handle on ME7 you go and hit the reset button for yourself! Congrats on the new car, when does the spare ECU come? ;)
Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: nyet on December 21, 2011, 07:39:26 PM From what I can tell, its going to be a tough nut to crack, and I am unsure I can do it w/o factory help (and/or in an unencumbered fashion).
So. No promises. Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: RaraK on December 21, 2011, 08:13:11 PM damn, i got nothing on these ecu's, ill see if i can dig anything up for you from my contacts.

Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: Jason on December 28, 2011, 08:36:34 AM Very nice!
Is there any particular reason Audi made the switch? Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: RaraK on December 28, 2011, 09:10:50 AM Just heard magpro2 x17 module will have test release of protocol for simos 8.4 in the next month, just a fyi nyet. i dont know what tool will do this as of yet.
I have no information on this ecu type from any of my contacts, must get a bin to research it. Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: nyet on December 28, 2011, 11:44:58 AM Thanks Rarak!

seems like FRC SPI does this as well. SPI is fairly cheap for hardware but plugins/modules will get you good. Maybe ask them about it. I think you can get the interface for around 700usd but plugin for simos i have NO idea. Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: gremlin on December 28, 2011, 01:30:26 PM http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/9_siemens_simos_v6_32l_fsi_module.html (http://www.unitronic-chipped.com/main/en/txt/9_siemens_simos_v6_32l_fsi_module.html) It's old Simos 6.2 - no problem to read/write this ECU type. Continental/Simos 8.4 on 3.0TFSI engine is totally different. AFAIK APR can chiping this one at the moment. http://www.goapr.com/media/videos/D69781F1EAEF5601/CoH74TbeZ332qeLsU1yiOuj6Udefh5iz/ Another tuning variants are "additional tuning-boxes". Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: TTQS on December 28, 2011, 03:16:31 PM Revo are offering a tune for the B8 S4 too:
http://www.revotechnik.com/index.php?mod=show_news&id_nws=81 If it's as good my Revo Stage 2, it won't be bettered by anybody's home brew tune, not even Nye. ;) TTQS Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: RaraK on December 28, 2011, 04:39:07 PM Why would nye ever bite the bullet and buy an off the shelf tune! :P gotta at least come to the realization that its nowhere near economical to tune it before heading off to apr or revo 8)
Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: B234R on December 28, 2011, 04:40:04 PM Mappacks (a2l/ols) for Simos 8 are available. I bet they are pricey, though.
R/W/CHKs is the problem. I don't know of any tool that can do them at the moment. Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: nyet on December 28, 2011, 07:49:45 PM If it's as good my Revo Stage 2, it won't be bettered by anybody's home brew tune, not even Nye. If its ME7, I am confident that I could more or less match any tuner's stage 1-3 tune (k03/k04/rs6), especially if its for 91oct. No magic there. The limit is timing, period. I expect the same for Simos 8, but for other very difficult technical issues having nothing to do with EFI tuning itself :) Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: berTTos on December 29, 2011, 07:33:58 AM is the supercharged V6 the only Audi unit using Simos?
AFAIK the new V8TT w/ cylinder deactivation uses Motronic. Title: Re: Simos 8.4 - who is ready for the plunge Post by: RaraK on December 29, 2011, 07:56:15 AM 3.2 v6 uses a version of simos, as well as some of the diesel motors, but not 8.4.

Plus, at the time I decided to get a commercial tune my knowledge of tuning was squat. TTQS |
