Shortcuts for map translation E48 -> S80

Post by sidewaysstu »

Hi,
I have a duratec engine which I used with an E48 ECU and am using it in a new car with an S80 ECU. Are there any utilities or known shortcuts for converting the map or at least populating the main tables? If it comes to it I'll just sit 2 laptop side by side and input into DTASwin but thats pretty lame!

Thanks
Stuart

PS I will be putting the car on the rolling road so its just for initial use.

Maps from old ecu's should upload into the new S-win software ( at least my P8 did reasonably well when I switched to the S80 a few years ago )

but lets face it, an E48 and S80 are worlds apart. You would absolutely need to go through everything on the S80 to make sure it is sensible.

Populating the main tables with similar values really shouldnt take that long compared to checking all other areas of the map.

Doh - stupidly I hadn't tried to open the E48 map with DTASwin and it appears fine.
Agree it needs careful checking over!

Thanks
Stuart
