Introduction

EcuTek RaceROM is a package of special software features that can be installed into the ECU of the supported vehicles. You simply open your ECU ROM file using EcuTek software, apply the RaceROM Feature File (Patch) to it, adjust the RaceROM maps as necessary, and then program the ROM file into the vehicle.

Please read How to: Add/Remove EcuTek Race Rom to your Vehicle. Feature File Guide for info on how RaceROM works, how to install and uninstall RaceROM feature files, and further hints and tips.

The current RaceROM features are listed below. Features marked ** are only available to trade customers, or retail customers that have purchased the optional RaceROM MX5 upgrade.

Please also see our website for various videos and webinars for further information.

RaceROM AutoBlip

The AutoBlip strategy uses a manipulation of Pedal position in order to blip the throttle. The throttle is not adjusted directly in order to minimise problems Pedal/throttle discrepancies that the ECU will be looking for, triggering DTCs and causing other issues.

In order for an AutoBlip event to be triggered the following conditions must be met:

• Vehicle speed above AutoBlip Minimum Speed

• Brake depressed, detected using brake switch

• Clutch depressed (after brake is depressed)

Once triggered the pedal position will follow the values prescribed in the Autoblip Pedal Percentage map.

An AutoBlip event ends when any of the above conditions are breached OR the time since the event was triggered exceeds the highest value in the X-axis of the AutoBlip Pedal Percentage map.

AutoBlip Enable

Check the enable box in order to enable the autoblip feature in each switchable map mode.

AutoBlip Minimum Speed

Set the vehicle speed above which AutoBlip will happen when other conditions are met.

AutoBlip Pedal Percentage

The X-axis represents the time since the blip event was triggered, the Y axis uses the RPM at the time the AutoBlip event was triggered, the map output is the target accel position. By default this map includes a small delay in opening the throttle, you may wish to experiment with changing the setpoints on the X axis to remove this delay especially on low compression turbocharged cars. The highest value in the X-axis of this map represents the longest duration an Autoblip event can have.
