Hi - I need your help and wisdom

I am an educated mech. engineer - combustion engines, emissions, turbo/supercharging etc. So my basic knowledge and understanding of how an engine works is quite good - I dare to say.
BUT - I am a noob regarding ECU's, software and all that electrical stuff that manages the engine.

I have a Peugeot 406 V6 2004 Bosch ME7.4.6.

I have managed to read the BIN-file via MPPS cable and boot mode and a demoversion of Winols.

In Winols I have located some maps that I think are related to ignition, fueling and VVT - which are my initial targets.
Since it is a demoversion I cannot save the changed BIN-file so.....

- What software to use for changing maps on a ME7.4.6 ECU? Winols in cracked version (oh no.... not legal of course :-(
- Any general way to learn to "look" at the hexdump and see maps?

I truly apprecialte any help - thoughts - wisdom - tutorials etc. on the ME7.4.6 :-) 

Best regards - Peter - Denmark - ICE-enthusiast :-)

Thanks!

I had the same thought concerning using Winols demo first to recognize the maps (it appears to be rather good at that :-)) and then use another program to actually change, save and write the BIN-file to the ecu via my MPPS cable.

However I tried to download and use TunerPro - but absolutely nothing happens when I try to open a BIN-file. I have also purchased the TunerProRT software (also to support the "owner") with same result. Any ideas?

I learned important basic stuff regarding reading hexidecimals - great reading here!

This is a great forum :-)

There is literally no way SNM16ZUUB is related to a rev limiter. If you just randomly picked it by value, don't do that.

There are 5000+ maps in ME7

Thanks for the feedback regarding rev-limiter

I have only changed KFZW and KFZW2 - now they are quite identical in the midrange to max rpm/load.

Test 1 was to see if the ignition advance can stay constant in this range so I set it at "25" in the map.
From my OBD scan tool (Auterra) I can see life ignition advance when driving.

Results are that ignition still changes a lot during acceleration. For example at 2500 rpm and 50-60% throttle (85-95 kPa in the inlet manifold) it retards ignition to around 16-18 deg. and slowly advances towards maybe only 22-23 deg. It never actually seems to reach the nominel value (or very rarely) and at WOT it retards ignition to 12-18 deg. - just as before I changed KFZW and KFZW2.

Is there a specific map for WOT ignition timing - or is it because other factors like lambda >1 and delta rpm/ignition is being adjusted elsewhere during WOT?

Or should I just try to adjust KFZW and KFZW2 until I reach my goals?

Hi -

Noob-Peter here from Denmark/EU - ME7.4.6 - Peugeot 406 V6

I have been playing around with ignition timing in KFZW and KFZW2 maps and have experienced good things with fuel consumption and torque in the low to midrange rev and power band through earlier ignition. 10% decrease in fuel consumption and 8% gain in peak torque.

But I am still not able to control ignition timing at WOT - the timing cuts back to its "own" desired level - more or less regardless of what I do to the map.

So I wondered..... have I got it right with the axis? Here are my thoughts on the axis (see attached picture of KFZW map):
- RPM (3.5-625 on the Y-axis)
- manifold pressure (? 13-133 on the X-axis).

If I look up NMAX at location 0x1630A it says "107" as value which makes me think, that the X-axis is rpm (?) - I am a little confused as you can see.

Looking forward to hear from all you experienced people out there.

And I am still aiming to raise the rev-limiter - so If anyone has an idea - please share.

Peter


Anyone to help me clear up my mind? :-)
