Hello EagleMark. Can you list out the required hardware to read/burn chips from a 7747 PCM like you did for the 7427 above? I'm still on the fence about installing a G2 adapter and using 27FS512 chips. What I really want to be able to do is get my engine running well (20 to 50 burns?) then call it good and pass the equipment on to the next lucky person.

I "think" I need a Burn 2, HDR1, ALDL cable, UV eraser, and software. Is that right?

Thanks,

Steve

First is the software, TunerPro RT:

Moates G2 adapter to solder in is the easiest way to burn chips:

Moates 27FS512 chip:

Burn 2:

Cable for data logging:

Or Roberts cable:

The other option for a cable and burner along with an emulator is the AutoProm:

Or to do old UV erase chips a Gq-4x burner: http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/stor...idProduct=4312

But I think they are cheaper on eBay... $99

Then some 2732a chips from China:

And a UV eraser for them:

You'll never sell the stuff once you have it and use it!

Thank you for the info. That was awesome. I appreciate the list of UV/Non-UV options.

No wonder I can't find anything used :)

I have a friend who put a TBI on his Toyota inline 6 (FJ40) and wants me to help him get it running better once I have mine done. Maybe there will be a reason for me not to re-sell when I'm done :D

I suppose this is probably a good place for this question. When I'm looking at my VE table in 'Graph' view (the cool heat map!) it's sorta pointed away from me. As in, I can't see on the graph the little places to smooth. Is there a way to rotate the graph?

Right click on the graph, hold right mouse button down while moving the mouse and you can rotate the graph.

Check this thread out it is very helpful.

Thank you for compiling all this information in 1 location, I am having problems getting my laptop to communicate with my truck. I am using a win 7 laptop an adapter I bought from ebay that looks similar to the one used in these posts and apparently my truck has a refurbished 7-7747 ECM. The test using settings comes back good without vehicle connected but, I never get a connection when I aquire data so of course the live data feeds never report either. I have checked everything I can think of to recheck any chance I could get some help?

Thanks for this info, Eaglemark. I'm a new user, at present I am only trying to retrieve data from the ECU as I've transplanted a 5.7 smallblock into my 89 S10 and am having some drivability issues I need to resolve. To say Tunerpro has a steep learning curve is an understatement, and I'm an IT guy so I know a thing or two about steep learning curves!

Hi! I'm new in the forum and in the tuner world as well. I'm quite lost as i don't really understand much. I know most of the discusions are about american cars and so but i wonder i i can get to understand how it works...My question as a begginer is, i found the way to get the .bin from the chips in my ecm (vw tdi engine) desoldering the chips and reading the with a machine similar to the burn2 from moates. As i read, i also need the mask (.xdf) and the .adx. well the bin is clear what it is, but the xdf i don't understand clearly, is like the file that determines where and how the data in the bin files should be addressed to be able to be read by a human? and what about the .adx?I'm sorry if the questions a for a very low level on general knowledge.. and terrible english...Thanks

The TunerPro link for VW .xdf files is here: http://tunerpro.net/downloadBinDefs.htm#VW I did not see a .adx file for VW, which is used to monitor and record engine data (spark advance timing, injector pulse width, RPM, Coolant Temperature, and the like) from a running engine. dave w
