The Powertap interface is an intelligent high speed interface device that plugs into your cars diagnostic connector. The
Power tap interface contains a 16bit micro controller with dedicated hardware for both CAN bus and K-line
communication 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 software once loaded onto your computer allows you to:
Iinitiates Powertap Firmware updates to access free firmware and software upgrades as features are added
Turn emission diagnostics on and off (to be used for off road applications)
A more detailed explanation of Eurodyne Flash features can be found here Eurodyne Flash
Eurodyne Maestro Editor is a a complete high speed data logging and map editing package; Maestro Editor 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 editing is complete file can be saved under a new name the uploaded to your engine controller.
Features and capabilities:
Apply correction values to multiple cells using correction values gathered during logging histograms
Math functions that allow you to apply % + or - correction values to groups of cells simultaneously
Injector wizard capable of modifying appropriate maps with a single keystroke when injectors are resized

7. You may be required to cycle your ignition On/Off again, depending on your ECU type.
8. Once the Flash is complete the "Success" message will be displayed in the Flash Client.
32
Quick Tune
Re-Flashing the ECU can take 5 minutes or longer depending on your system. For quick changes, there are ECU
settings that can be modified through Eurodyne flash directly.
In Eurodyne Flash, click on "Read Settings". The Quick Tune menu will appear. If the ECU has a Big Turbo binary,
Switching Active will be checked off and the maps can be flipped between Low octane pump and High octane race
gas.
Once you have made changes in Quick Tune, you will be prompted to enter license key. If you have already entered
it, click Skip Key. You will be prompted to turn the ignition on. Turn the ignition on but do not start the car. Click the
Ignition is On button, and Quick Tune will close automatically after updating the binary on the ECU.
Note: Modifying your settings incorrectly can damage your car. Changes are made at your own risk.
33
Step 3 Once the logger dashboard opens decide whether you would like to view the information using the
Gauge-style dashboard
34
35
Step 4 Select the Start button at the bottom of the dashboard and the Logger will begin writing a .csv file to the
hard drive on your computer
36
The Logger will continue to write the file until you select Stop from the dashboard
37
Please read the post How to view log files to learn more about the different ways High-speed log files can be used.
38
Step 3 Once the logger dashboard opens select on of the 2 available viewing modes
1.
2.
Text view - Most precise viewing mode, similar to a measuring block readout
Gauge View - A quick visual reference of engine metrics
39
Step 4 Select the Start button at the bottom of the dashboard and the Logger will begin writing a .csv file to the
hard drive on your computer.
40
The Logger will continue to write the file until you select Stop from the dashboard.
41
Please read the post How to view log files to learn more about the different ways High-speed log files can be used.
42
Step 2 Open the Log Viewer and select load log file from the File menu
43
Select the data log you wish to view and click to open it in the log viewer
44
Step 3 Select the data variables you wish to view in the graph at the lower part of the screen
45
You can then choose to switch to Text or Gauge or graph view using the tabs at the top of the window
46
Please refer to the post How to Create Log Files to learn about the different ways you can record diagnostic data
using the Eurodyne Flash Client
47
Select the size of your injectors from the dashboard of the injector wizard. When you click on your injector size your
new injector constant, fuel consumption constant and battery voltage compensation will be calculated and applied
automatically.
48
Injectors can also be scaled manually using the injector wizard by entering the stock vs. new fuel pressure and injector
size in the appropriate fields, then clicking Calculate
Step 5 Open your Fuelling and spark maps to ensure the axis and RPM range are within specifications for your
vehicle.
Note: Map descriptions can be opened either by right clicking on the map or by using the map description button at the
top of most map windows.
49
Step 6 Support for MAF-less configurations is available for some engine codes. If this option is available for your
application it will be found in the menu at the left hand side of the screen and you will need to decide whether you will
use a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or not.
Step 7 If you have already created a log file it should be loaded now. Changes to individual maps can be made
quickly and easily by using the map tracing and histogram functions of Maestro. ***The histogram will provide very
accurate feedback on which specific cells need to be modified, by highlighting and displaying the differences in map
values then applying them.***
If you have already tuned a specific range in the map you are editing, you may wish to clear cells from the histogram
before applying all values. This can be done by clicking and dragging to highlight cells, then right clicking and selecting
Clear Selected Cells.
50
Step 8 Make any adjustments to LAMBDA target maps and adjust Rev limits to desired values.
Step 9 - Save any changes under a NEW file name and flash the new .tapp file to your ECU.
Note: If your car has an irregular idle, a Throttle Body Adaptation can be performed now as described here:
http://www.eurodyne.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=191 This should be done periodically but is not required every
reflash.
Step 10 - Warm up your vehicle. To ensure you are obtaining the most accurate data it is extremely important your
logging and tuning are performed while the vehicle is at operating temperature in closed loop.
Step 11 Using the flash client, clear all fault codes. Most importantly this will zero your fuel trims and erase any
adaptations that have been made by the ECU.
Step 12 Create a new Log file as described here HERE http://www.eurodyne.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=188
in the How To section of the Forums.
NOTE: While creating log files, attempt to cover as many different load settings as possible. The more complete your
log data is, the more complete and accurate your tune file will be.
Repeat steps 7-12 as many times as necessary.
Step 13 - Once you are satisfied with your initial tuning, timing and knock correction tables can be adjusted in small
increments as necessary.
Step 14 Finally, make any adjustments to Cold start and warm up maps.
