We have been asked a lot since the car came out on how we re-calibrated the twin turbo Porsche ECU.

We are happy to share more information on the Maestro 7 Tuning Suite. Maestro includes a powerful high-speed data logging function, map tracing graphing a map editor and the Eurodyne re-flash interface.

Some info we wanted to share on the suite. The Maestro 7 is not a basic re-flash or made for vehicles with main intentions of light modifications. The suite does come with a base map to get the car started. The language an experience tuner or shop should be familiar with is Bosch/Motronic. We are currently testing the new “Launch Control” for the suite.

Here are some screen shots from the Suite:




The Maestro Suite includes the following components:

- Powertap interface
- Maestro software suite consisting of
- Eurodyne Flash
- Maestro logging software
- Maestro Editor

Powertap Interface

The Powertap® interface is an intelligent high speed interface device that contains a 16bit micro controller with dedicated hardware for both CAN bus and K-line protocols.

The Powertap interface supports high speed communication not available when using generic interface cables and allows communications with your engine controller giving you access to the many features and capabilities in included in the Maestro Tuning Suite.




Eurodyne Flash

Eurodyne Flash software package once loaded onto your computer provides the interface that allows the user to:

- flash and reflash the ECU (base file closely matched to your requirements will be provided)
- retrieve and clear fault code
- view measuring blocks
- start logging function
- initiates Powertap Firmware updates
- launch quick tune (some applications)
- activate 2 step (some applications)
- turn emission diagnostics on and off (to be used for off road applications)
- read ECU identification information
- free firmware upgrades as features are added



Eurodyne Maestro Editor

Eurodyne Editor is a a complete high speed data logging package that provides graphing and map tracing features and the Maestro map editor. This powerful software package allows access to all relevant maps, scalars and switches inside the ECU binary. Editing wizards are included to speed the implementation of map adjustments. Once edititing is complete file can be saved under a new name the uploaded to your engine controller.

- import data logs and view correction values
- modify values in multiple cells using the stored correction values
- injector wizard capable of modifying appropriate maps when injectors are resized
- view histograms to pinpoint cells used during a specific engine sequence



Eurodyne Log Viewer

A graphic interface that interprets and plays back .csv logs recorded using Eurodyne Flash. Log viewer provides three visual display modes and user selectable graph variables. Up to 20 values can be viewed in one of three different modes:

- text view
- gauge view
- graph view

Here is a short video of the Maestro controlling ID2000CC injectors in fantasic fashion:

Some of the key features that makes the Maestro stand out are:

• Data logging - With the Maestro you can detect knock in each individual cylinder.
• Lambda control through data logging.
• Clear almost any "CEL" in the ECU; i.e. Secondary Air Injection or O2 Codes
• MAF Delete files available with retaining factory PSM (Traction Control)

For those of you that missed the car going down the track here is the video to show what the Maestro 7 is capable of:

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing the information.

 

Do you guys tune in house chris?

 

WE are happy to do so.

Yes we do!

These are cool features. Any word about the logging resolution?

 

Looks good Chris! Fantastic job on the GT2 btw.


How labor intensive is the "drivability" tune? I have ProEfi and I love

it but it cost more to tune it than it does for the system!

Does this system offer fail safes? e.g retard boost if lean or

pump failure? Pull timing by knock sensor? etc...

As you know, there can be a real advantage in tuning time if you maintain

the stock ecu! Looks like the GT2 is the proof in the pudding.

 

Thank you for the compliments!

The "fail safes" go only as far as the factory ECU allows it to. For example the factory ECU will detect knock and pull trimming for corrections.

For added safety we added the AEM Fail Safe Gauge which does exactly what you are describing. The function of the gauge is to trigger a boost control system that will reduce boost under lean or rich conditions.

Please let me know if you have any other questions,

 

The Maestro 7 is not a basic re-flash or made for vehicles with main intentions of light modifications.



chris what would you consider "light mods"? about as radical as i would ever get would be k24/18 and MAYBE e85 down the road. of course i have all the supporting common mods. would this be something to investigate as an alternative to the standard tunes out there on the market?

 

Did you get the launch control feature working yet ?

I have the Eurodyne Maestro 7, cool product, needs a lot of reading and research for a non-tuner to get it going safely, but the map tracing functions, quick tune and datalogging alone are brilliant

 

I just purchased this software for my 01 996 TT. My car is still stock at the moment so I am just running with a tune. I am starting with some exhaust mods, then will get into turbos/fuel system/E85. So far I like the software, and logging.

 

i dont think so...

 

I've been thinking about going this route for some time. What's the learning curve on this for novice enthusiasts? Are there more than one base file available is there one for e85? Would there be a way to take the current file I have loaded from my tuner and make edits from there?

 

yeah it works on Chris' GT2

 

Interesting. I found some programming stuff on another website on how to do it, but changing the low rpm limit for launch and leaving a high rpm limiter seems to only work for runs as long as 10 minutes or so... so it would only be good for 1/4 mile drags and 1 mile runs etc
