Transmission Control Module Remap anyone?!
Herb, well it's more than timing. The nitty-gritty of what maps are adjusted and how, is, as you might imagine, secret. But I can tell you that Piasini does adjust timing, as well as throttle maps, f…

Well, in truth, we have seen a little incease in fuel efficiency, but that sort of seems to get lost with customers. Most folks are so amused with the increased performance of their car, they forget…

Herb, good comments and questions. You point about re-assuring prospective customers is well taken, thank you! It is not well known here in the United States, but in the EU,file theft is a huge issu…

We have to have the pcm and the tcm in hand to do the reflash. There are several reasons for this; 1. there is no direct link from the pcm to the data connector for the base maping. What the dealers…

Herb, well it's more than timing. The nitty-gritty of what maps are adjusted and how, is, as you might imagine, secret. But I can tell you that Piasini does adjust timing, as well as throttle maps, fuel curves(including full throttle enrichment, low…
Interesting reply. So the 20% increase in Rear Wheel Horsepower (RWHP) can most likely be attributed to remapping the ignition timing? I see that you also offer reflashes for the engine controller on MB's SL 230K. Does the same software work on the…
Well, in truth, we have seen a little incease in fuel efficiency, but that sort of seems to get lost with customers. Most folks are so amused with the increased performance of their car, they forget the got it for economy reasons and keep the right…
I have another question, how does the re tune effect fuel efficiency? I bought my smart with the belief that fuel prices would go up and for my daily commute back and fourth to the office there is no need for me to drive my 3.0L V6 Maxima when I am…
Herb, good comments and questions. You point about re-assuring prospective customers is well taken, thank you!
It is not well known here in the United States, but in the EU,file theft is a huge issue for tuners. This is why the files are all locked…
Thanks again.
As a former field service manager in the die-casting industry, I understand your caution with proprietary data.
However, you are way too short on contact info and re-assurance to your prospective customers that they will be able to re…
We have to have the pcm and the tcm in hand to do the reflash. There are several reasons for this;
1. there is no direct link from the pcm to the data connector for the base maping. What the dealers do is change only the correction files thru the d…
I have a question, can this remapping be done via my laptop and the OBDII port or do we have to remove the ECU and send it in and be without transportation?
I greatly appreciate the fact that you've stuck with me through all my questions. You have answered all of them to my satisfaction. I have just one question left: How do I go about getting my 451's software upgraded? I live just north of Tampa.

Herb, in this case the lower(red line) represents the un tuned output at the wheels, and the green line is the same except tuned. These would both be whp(wheel HorsePower, or in this case CV)
The dynos we use( as is the case with just about all tun…
Thank you for the additional data. So, the area between the Red line and the Green line represents additional power going to the crankshaft (ot rear wheels?) There seems to be some conflict between methodologies, or so it looks from the descriptions…
All this aside, it looks like your chart is showing the dyno results for the unmodified Smart 451, and the red line is not explained
Well, the simple answer is; what you see in that chart is a tuned verses a non tuned 451. With the green line repre…
Thank you for the explanation and math. I was familiar only with the French usage for "CV", which equaled 7 SAE Horsepower for tax purposes. For example, the French "Deux Chevaux" had 14 SAE HP, which is why it was known as the Deux Chevaux, or "2 H…
CV in this case is is the Itialian rating for HP not the french cv
From Wikipedia,
"In Italian (Cavalli), Spanish (Caballos), and Portuguese (Cavalos), CV is the equivalent to the German, PS""1 PS = 75 kilopond-meters per second
(75 kp·m/s)×(9.806…

Y'know, people always say they don't regret a thing, but frankly I think everyone has regrets. There are a LOT of things I regret, mostly things I didn't do rather than things I did.
