Adjusted load limits and OL fuel for more power at low rpm, high load, to benefit 6AT launches. Added catted headers maps with AVCS from OTS v3.0. Added EU MY17 6MT K00G.

Cal-hacked K01I (EUDM MY17 6AT) to K00D (USDM MY17). Updated MY17 and MY18 red manifold roms (K00C, K00P, N00P, N10C) with OTS 4.0 tunes.

Jun 2018 | v140-v141 | Restored stock AVCS at low rpm and low load for fuel efficiency and drivability. AVCS below 2600rpm and 0.85g/rev are stock values, plus overlap smoothing and some tweaks for 6AT shifting. AVCS above 2600rpm and 0.85g/rev remains header specific as before. Tweaked timing at 2400rpm and 2800rpm at highway speeds / medium load. |
Oct 2018 | v143 (failure) | Restored stock 100% DI for more jam between 2500-5000rpm at WOT. Re-mapped injector ratios and closed loop control for faster fuel trim learning compared to stock. Initially this learns great fuel trim values, but fails over an extended period of time where the LTFT above 5k crept too negative (lean). |
Dec 2018 | v145 | Decided to simply provide the different options of injector ratios for petrol tunes. E85 and FLEX tunes are reverted to 100% DI at WOT under 7000 rpm, 20% PI over 7000 rpm. |

Jul 2014 | OTS v2.0 | Revised Stg1 Added Stg2 91 AKI (93 AKI timing minus 1 deg over 6k rpm) Raised load limits from stock values - low RPM WOT now too rich instead of too lean. |
Dec 2015 | OFH v1.0 | Revised Stg2 UEL AVCS (very good for all UEL) combined with extremely optimistic ignition timing. |
May 2017 | OTS v3.0 | Stg1 unchanged Stg2 EL is discarded. Stg2 re-tuned with mild AVCS for catted UEL. OFH tune is now Stg2+, minus the dyno hero ignition advance. Added basic US MY17 6MT K00C support. |
Apr 2018 | OTS v4.0 | MY12-MY16 tunes are identical to OTS 3.0. All MY12-MY16 USDM roms are now cal-hacked A01G/I (EUDM) roms. MY17 tunes updated. K00C (USDM) and K00P (AUDM) are now K00G (EUDM) with launch control. K00D (USDM) and K01S (AUDM) are now K01I (EUDM). |

Primary Open Loop Fuelling | Heavily modified and smoothed openflash tables. |
Closed Loop Fuelling Targets | Modified to reflect open loop fuelling, to prevent knock around crossover. |
Injector Ratios (DI:PI) | Modified to use a static ratio at WOT, making AFR curves more predictable. |
Load Limits | Distinct load limits for Stg1/Stg2/E85, fixes AFR too lean at low rpm (lose power) and too lean at high rpm (unpredictable). |
MAF Scales | All files use the same scale for consistency, with variations only for the open loop portion. |
MAF IAT Compensation | Smoothed table thanks to ztan. |
Front Oxygen Sensor Scaling | Updated thanks to ztan. |

Radiator Fans | Fans now run when the car comes to a stop and coolant temp starts to rise, instead of after boiling. |
P0420 (missing cat converter) | Disabled on all roms. |
(Stg2) Cold start | Custom values for lower rpm and less bark. |
(E85) Cranking pulse widths | Custom values for reliable starting. |
(E85) Dash display fuel usage | Updated thanks to ztan. |
(6AT) Throttle Map | |
(6MT) Launch control | Fuel cut implementation provided by TDD, set at 5000 rpm for sticky tyres and because it can cause ECU to pull timing. |
FLEX FUEL | Custom logic to non-linearly scale timing, fuel, cranking, etc. based on E%, thanks to ztan. Ported from 6MT to 6AT by myself. |
RomRaider is used for editing. It is not required for flashing.

OFT_ | For use with roms containing launch control code. |

Defintions are prioritised from first to last.
Selecting any table in the list will compare the table from the first rom to that of the second.
Example - OTS Stg1 total timing compared to stock MY12-16 total timing:
All graphs from the same dyno, same day (2015-07-18), same 20C intake air temp.
These are very old roms with original injector ratios, however still indicative.
Each vendor has their own instructions, videos, etc.
On the RHD Moto East kit you can mount the sensor in such a way as to not bend any of the lines.
DO NOT attempt to mount the sensor over near the brake lines or strut tower, where you need to bend the fuel lines back on themselves.
With my files, you should attach the sensor to the DIRECT INJECTOR line as the car uses 100% DI at idle as per stock.
Cut a hole/slot in the firewall grommet above the engine loom for the sensor to ECA loom.
The most difficult part of the install is getting at the ECU, particularly for RHD where there is an extra control module in the way.
You can either remove the EVAP pin from the ECU plug and re-pin it, or Moto East sells a harness which goes between the ECU loom and the ECU.
Moto East provide a piggyback for the fuse box to provide power to the Ethanol Content Analyzer, mounted behind the dash in front of the drivers knees.
The gauge tells you if the ECA has power and is outputting a signal. It won't tell you if the signal is reaching the ECU, you need to log for that.
