Hey,

I digg through a lot of the 5210 hack infos here in the forum, but I am too new, to know every well enough and unterstand all neccessary chances.

So I put my basic questions to the noob zone and hope, someone help me out to unterstand some basics right on this.

My biggest problem is, I am application, chance parameters of maps and not digg into the IDA-stuff, so I cannot chance anything in source-code, witch makes impossible for my to re-work the infos found in the threats.

But for me to unterstand:
ME7 got a hard-codes 2560hPa boost limit. So it is not possible to run more than 2560hPa of manifold pressure without chance of source-code.

But what will happend, if I just rescale all pressure sensor to theire half ?
Then actual rl_w will be at half of the pressures and the ME7 works like dopple of engine-capacity in a quite high ambinent ?

All pressure related maps, witch have to be "bended" too, are in the S4-wiki:
https://s4wiki.com/wiki/Manifold_air_pressure:Rescale_project

Ok, you have to off-line-recalculate all pressure related logg-values, but I think, this is not impossilble.
So is this a way to start, or more exact, why this isn´t a way to start and a hack of the source-code is a must ?

Thanks for advice

no, it is 16 bit, same as ps_w

pretty sure you didn't mean 256 bits either

Just checkd and indeed 16-bit, thanks for updating me on that. Also I dint mean the 256 bits as im reading it back now.


For what I’ve been reading so far, no. If you recalculate you should be able to get this working without editing any source (which I havent seen coming around on this forum).


Just like I mentioned in my previous post, when you see 2000 mbar in your log it means it would be 4000mbar actual.

THIS IS CATEGORICALLY FALSE, for the zillion reasons posted over and over again above.

I have no idea where you got this impression.

I am working on my knownledge there.

The reason why that post isnt that accurate (if you are pointing on that) is becouse I’ve done reading myself into the 5120 hack but I haven’t tested anything yet, so I want to avoid spreading wrong info like I already did on the post above here because of my misunderstanding  .
For my intrepretation if you work through the mapping rescaling as mentioned in the project_5120.txt you should be capable to run above 2560mbar absolute pressure.

That to say, having the recipe and the ingrediënts doesnt make you a (good) cook

Same to me .. 

I just compared a 5120hacked dump to the orignal and allready and four 4 differend bytes in source-code, so now the way is clear for me.

And  one other question to this:
is it reallye neccessary to do this change in IDA, or is it o possible to search for the same bit-stream in a ohter ME7 dump and take of the chances ?


Basicly you are true with this!
But there are nearly a 35 pages to read with a lot of devellopment of this hack. Differend  oppinions and wrong ways, are also described and somewhere corrected.

If there will be a clear (!) hint, that there is a need for the source-code hack at some of the stickys or more importend to the S4wiki, I didn´t need asked again and didn´t start this "nooby-threat" to get it totaly clear for me

Maybe someone can add this hint to the S4-wiki and we can close this threat or deleat it..

Thanks ! 

I just gave you +1 for this (not that you do not have enough ), but I have to comment - I once committed to do a similar task like your Wiki, only on a smaller scale, smaller community, and, from the perspective of time, much lower quality (mostly due to my relative inexperience in automotive control systems at the time, and which is still lower than the levels seen here). You have every right to be bitter, when you look at such efforts the return is almost zero (well, for me, I do not do anything commercial related to tuning), the amount of crap that you have to process as a result is enormous (this is typically explaining the same thing over and over again). After this I kept wondering why people do this community work, so big thumbs up for you! Myself, I did develop a couple (literally) of personal contacts that did pay back after time, but still not sure it was worth it.

Having said that, it is a matter of fact that a lot of information here is badly spread over several threads and pages and it takes time to find the right one, and it is not about reading it - a skill that seems to be diminishing in the society too, but getting to it. People (myself included) loose patience and ask first, then keep looking. (Not complaining, just saying ).
