How WinOLS Works

Designed by EVC, WinOLS is specifically crafted to modify the memory contents of your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU). Both professionals and enthusiasts use WinOLS to search, discover, and customize maps to their liking.

Once you’ve selected a map, you can rename and modify it to fit your requirements. WinOLS offers multiple viewing options, allowing you to analyze your map in 2D, 3D, or as a table. After customizing, you can add customer details, vehicle numbers, and image files, storing all related data in a comprehensive “project” file.

Experience Flexibility and Customization with WinOLS

The latest version of WinOLS features:

• Storage for up to 200 modifications of a single map.
• Enhanced browsing capabilities to filter and sort previous projects.
• Options to view your map’s raw data in 2D graphics or hex/decimal dumps.
• Automatic processor detection to differentiate between program and data areas.
• A 3D preview window for easy map selection.

WinOLS also supports the latest hardware, including 100, BSL100, and OLS300, as well as classic models like OLS200 and Eprom Programmer MP2440. All files can be zipped, coded, or exported for seamless sharing.

Working with Bosch ME and EDC ECUs

Bosch ME ECUs (Motor Electronics) are utilized primarily in petrol engines, integrating complex algorithms to manage fuel injection, ignition timing, and various sensor inputs. Tuning these ECUs requires a deep understanding of their adaptive control strategies, which adjust parameters based on real-time data to optimize performance and emissions. The ability to modify fuel maps, ignition timing, and torque limits allows tuners to enhance throttle response and overall engine efficiency while maintaining compliance with emissions regulations.

Bosch EDC ECUs (Electronic Diesel Control) are similarly sophisticated, focusing on diesel engine management. They control critical aspects such as fuel injection timing, pressure, and quantity, directly impacting engine performance and efficiency. Tuning EDC ECUs involves fine-tuning fuel maps to achieve optimal combustion and minimize smoke emissions. Furthermore, advanced tuning techniques often include modifying boost pressure settings and adjusting torque limits for better acceleration without compromising reliability.

Example of training Logic Flow of Tuning Diesel and Petrol ECUs Using Bosch Logic

Introduction

Tuning engine control units (ECUs) is a critical process for optimizing both diesel and petrol engines. This document outlines the logic flow involved in tuning Bosch ECUs, focusing on key aspects that are common to both fuel types while highlighting differences relevant to diesel and petrol tuning.

1. Understanding the ECU Architecture

Bosch ECUs, such as the ME (Motor Electronics) for petrol engines and EDC (Electronic Diesel Control) for diesel engines, utilize complex algorithms and sensor inputs to manage engine performance. The ECU processes data from various sensors, including:

• Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF)
• Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
• Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT)
• Oxygen Sensors (O2)
• Boost Pressure Sensor 
• Crank Position Sensor

2. Data Acquisition

Before tuning, data acquisition is crucial. This involves:

• Logging Real-Time Data: Collecting data from the aforementioned sensors to understand engine performance under various operating conditions.
• Analyzing Performance Metrics: Reviewing parameters like fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature, and boost levels to identify areas for improvement.

3. Mapping Adjustment

Once data is collected, the tuning process begins:

• Modify Fuel Maps:
  • Petrol Engines (Bosch ME): Adjust fuel injection timing and quantity based on RPM and load conditions to enhance throttle response and power.
  • Diesel Engines (Bosch EDC): Change fuel maps to optimize injection timing and quantity for improved combustion efficiency and reduced smoke emissions.
• Ignition Timing Adjustment:
  • Petrol Engines: Tuning ignition timing to maximize cylinder pressure and efficiency, often requiring adjustments based on knock sensor feedback.
  • Diesel Engines: Focus on optimizing the timing of fuel injection to coincide with peak cylinder pressure for maximum power output.

4. Torque Limiting and Boost Control

• Torque Limiting:
  • Both petrol and diesel ECUs include torque limits to protect the engine. Tuning can involve raising these limits to unlock additional performance, though this must be done cautiously to avoid reliability issues.
• Boost Control :
  • For turbocharged diesel/petrol engines, tuning the boost pressure is essential. Modifications to the boost control maps can lead to improved throttle response and higher power levels.

Within our training, we emphasize the importance of safe tuning techniques that respect and preserve the integrity of the factory ECU strategies. Our approach focuses on understanding the factory settings and how they relate to the overall performance and reliability of the engine. We teach our students to first analyze the OEM calibration maps thoroughly before making any modifications. This foundational knowledge allows tuners to identify how each parameter affects engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.

We advocate for a methodical tuning process that incorporates gradual adjustments and extensive testing. By implementing changes incrementally, we help ensure that the ECU remains within safe operational limits. Our training includes the use of data logging tools to monitor the engine’s performance in real-time. This allows students to see the immediate effects of their modifications and make informed decisions based on empirical data rather than guesswork. We also stress the importance of maintaining emissions compliance and the potential legal ramifications of improper tuning.

In addition to practical training, we provide theoretical lessons on the underlying mechanics of the ECU’s operation. This comprehensive understanding enables our trainees to develop tuning strategies that enhance performance while avoiding compromises to the factory settings. Ultimately, our goal is to equip tuners with the skills necessary to achieve optimal results without jeopardizing the reliability or safety of the vehicle.
