Pulled from Triumprat.net, and theres tons of info on triumphtorque.com also There is a 'Freeware' (yes - I said FREE) program available called TuneECU that operates similarly to TuneBoy, in that it allows direct programming of the ECM by a software interface and USB/OBDII adapter cable. Currently is available for tuning Triples (sorry Bonnie guys) 675 Daytona & Street Triple 885, 955, 1050, Speed Triple 885, 955, 1050 Tiger and 1050 Sprint 955 Daytona Rocket III The software is down-loadable from several sources: The developer's Skydrive - http://cid-ced9b0857c70aaec.skydrive...e.aspx/.Public *Note that a new server address will follow shortly and be updated accordingly. There are many tunes available (OEM & custom) for download from Tom's One Stop TuneMap Shop New tunes are being added constantly, so check back frequently There are two versions: TuneECU lite (current version v1.2) is a diagnostic only program TuneECU (current version v1.5.3) is the Full program which includes both Tune Editing and Diagnostic Functions in a single program. *You must also download & install the 'key' file in the same folder as the program file* Cable: Cable is readily available from EBay etc - Triumph actually uses the same ISO9141-2 protocol as used by Volkswagen/Audi and so a VAG-COM OBDII/USB cable works perfectly. Here is one source I have used myself - fast shipping out of Washington State or BC for our US & CA members. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/USB-V...item5ad95120bd (there are many other cheaper sources, shipping from China) Do a search on your local Regional EBay, from wherever you might be. Here's a couple I found for The Brits & Ozzers (no personal experience of those sellers) Here is Oz source - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VAG-COM-USB-K...item1c1273b346 And UK source - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/006-UK-VAG-COM...item335cc67ee4 Do a search on your local Regional EBay, from wherever you might be. Once you receive the cable, install it using the drivers from here (not the supplied driver): You need to download the latest FTDI Chip virtual port driver - ver. 2. 06. 00 for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 - or other appropriate to your operating system. http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Simply plug in the cable, let Windows 'find' it, then when it asked to detect & install automatically, decline & direct to the folder with your downloaded FTDIchip driver This install process is explained in the TuneECU_Description pdf - available here in French, English & German versions. New English version for 1.5.3 added (by alx) available http//cid-273ab44004b1c00e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/TuneECU/TuneECU%5E_1%5E_5%5E_Description%5E_En%20Revised%5E_by%5E_ALX.pdf"]here OEM tunes and a few custom tunes are available for download from the sites referenced above - these TuneECU files have a .hex extension and are not compatible with Tuneboy (& vice-versa) You can retrieve your own currently installed Tune by connecting and executing 'read map' from the program file, after which you can save it and re-edit as you choose. Here are some Screenshots of the program Diagnostic Screen Fuel Table Map/Editor Screen The Editor also has a nice 'map compare' feature You can view graphically the difference between two maps at any rpm interval (you can compare the elements of any of the maps - fuel, ignition, etc) Compare View Caution: as with any of the tuning software programs, be aware that you have the potential to damage your engine if you do not know what you are doing. If you do not have access to a dyno, you should only consider loading proven maps into your ECM. Be aware that this is freeware - the developer has created a terrific platform for we Triumph users and is generally helpful to inputs and questions. But recognize he is not being remunerated for his effort and you should not expect the level of customer support you may find with a commercial program.
