Before tuning MS41, you need the correct software and matching definition files.

Main Software

RomRaider

Used to:

• Open ECU files


• Edit fuel and ignition tables


• Change injector, MAF, VANOS, and limiter settings


• Datalog the ECU


MS41 QuickFlash

Used to:

• Read the ECU


• Save original files


• Flash calibration changes


• Perform full flashes


• Install MS41.3


Definition Files

RomRaider needs definition files to understand the ECU data.

ECU Definitions

Used for editing.

They identify:

• Fuel tables


• Ignition tables


• Injector settings


• MAF tables


• VANOS settings


• Rev limiters


• Control bits


• MS41.3 extended tables


Logger Definitions

Used for datalogging.

They allow RomRaider to read:

• RPM


• Load


• MAF


• Injector Pulse Width


• Fuel trims


• Ignition timing


• Knock retard


• Temperatures


• Load.x


• MAF.x


MS41 ECU Portal

The MS41 ECU Portal can help install or update items such as:

• RomRaider


• ECU definitions


• Logger definitions


• FTDI drivers


• Supporting software


FergZ Garage Files

Some of the files currently being used by FergZ Garage will also be attached to this post for easier access.

These may include:

• ECU definition files


• Logger definition files


• MS41.3-related definition files


• Reference files used throughout this tuning guide


• Other supporting files used during tuning and logging


Simple Rule

ECU Definition = Editing

Logger Definition = Datalogging

You normally need both.

Before Continuing

Make sure:

☐ RomRaider is installed


☐ MS41 QuickFlash is installed


☐ Correct ECU definition is loaded


☐ Correct logger definition is loaded


☐ Your ECU software version is confirmed
