EK1Pro Tune - Sixth Element

[SneakerB]

simple enough to remove, and less wire clutter under the hood

this might be a dumb question, do I put the JB4 onto map 0 if I get the stage 2 from SXTH?

Map 0 and bit 0 and 6 on for the stage 2.. bit 0 should be on with BEF aswell

I have bit 0 on right now as i'm running map 3 with the BEF.

Just will wait on Nathan to confirm that the reset will fix the EWG issue before I pull the trigger on the Stage 2

ryans the man hes the one i requested do my tune!
there stage 2 tcu is relatively new and the stage 2 short shift just came out like a week or two ago so they may still be tweaking some things

Ryan reviewed the logs and created a new version of the tune, I loaded it and when starting the car I winds over for a long time before it starts and when it starts I get heaps of errors on the dash, Check engine light, EPB light, traction control light, the Tacho reads zero when the engine is running and idles rough and flashes check blind spot safety warning. I shut the car down and reloaded the new version again and still had the same issues.

A little scary.

I reverted back to the original tune he created and all the errors went away though I now have a check engine light.

I hope Ryan or @nathan@sxth can sort this out.

He may just have forgot to add a table. Nothing to worry about and an easy fix.

No problem, I assume something is still a little off, to now give me a check engine light on the original tune I reverted back to? I wont drive the car until I hear back from SXTH.

Erased the fault and it come straight back

Have you tried resetting adapted values and flash your original map?

Disconnecting the battery may also be worth a try.

Just a few ideas till SXTH answers..

I reloaded the original Stage 1 tune back to Version 1.00, the issue is with Version 1.01 are you suggesting flashing back to the original stock ECU file? I have not tried resetting the adapted values, do I need a new software update for this? if so I will have a grab a cable later today to update from my PC?

I will disconnect the battery and see if that helps.

Edit: Battery disconnect cleared the code, Honestly surprised this worked.

Thank you again for the help

Somethings wrong with the new flash just flash back to the original 1.0 or stock whatever you feel comfortable. Dont reflash 1.01 if theres an issue

yeah, Ryan fixed it up. New log. Only have enough room close to me for a 3rd gear WOT pull.

you should be manually shifting btw you 6600 rpm in that log... boost drops heavily after 6k rpm so shift around 5900

Agree, I have their Stage 2 short shift tune installed but clearly not working as intended. I will get them to have a look at it.

So I've gone through quite the ordeal with Sxth and their tune options for our cars, and frankly, I do not recommend buying their ECU/TCU tunes, and warn anyone to take serious caution about trying their new user mapping tool option they're about to launch.

I'll start off with my experience with their tcu tune:
- Purchased their stage 2 beta tune, and noticed that the shift points weren't lowered as they claimed they were on the tune (shifting at the stock 6.7k rpm).
- Received a revised file that helped lower the shift points, but were down to 6.2k-6.4k rpm, when they claimed it was supposed to shift at 5.9k. Also, the 3-4 gear shift was still shifting at 6.7k. I also noticed that it was only triggering stock launch control.
- Received a second revision of their tcu, which fixed the stock launch control, but still didn't fix the lazy 3-4 gear shift. Asked for another revision, but this was when Nathan went for surgery, so I waited until he recovered.
- After he was supposed to come back, I followed up with this request for a third revision for a lower shift point closer to the 5.9k rpm target he initially said. They tell me a new revision was added, but this time they charge me for this revision (the stage 2 + low rpm shifting file some of you see).
- After loading this tune, I try it, and it's basically the first revision I listed above (6.2k rpm shifts with a lazy 3-4 gear shift, and stock launch control). I report the issues back to Sxth, and they opt to tell me they're having issues with getting launch control to work, which is odd since it was working just fine on my second revised file I mentioned above. I point this out to them, which results in them asking which file this launch control was on (which, again, is odd imo). I tell them the file version it was working on, and they have now ghosted me on fixing this tune even after following up with them.

For the ECU, I'll spare you the details, but I've basically been stuck with a middle of the pack tune power wise that cannot idle properly (it sounds like I added cams to my car because it's swinging heavily on ignition timings and rpms). This may be something that could be addressed with more revisions, but this is from starting with trying to get the car to idle without throwing a CEL to begin with, and after 4-5 revisions on their ECU tune, so I frankly gave up with getting it to work properly.

Now for those who think it may be my car that's the issue, I also have an ECU tune from both Lozic and Lap3, as well as a Lozic TCU tune, and they are all working perfectly fine. I opted to try sxth out when they announced their ek1 tune options because I liked the idea of being able to create a customized tune, but I wish I hadn't at this point, and frankly, I feel the customization option is more so for troubleshooting instead of fine tuning.
