The Woolich Racing Tuned (WRT) software allows you to tune your bike to the limit by writing a specific set of information to your engine control unit (ECU). You do not need to be a tuning expert to get great results from this software, however there are some key points to understand that will make your experience more successful and therefore more enjoyable.
We highly recommend that you read the following information carefully before getting started in order to avoid common mistakes and get the best results quickly.
ECUs are commonly used in modern vehicles and are responsible for controlling everything from the most basic functions of a combustion engine (like fuel delivery and ignition timing) to providing advanced features like traction control or engine braking.
In order for the WRT software to communicate with your ECU there are some basic things that you will need: - WRT software installed on a laptop or desktop PC.
- You can download the software here and find further support information here.
- Communication interface such as a Woolich Racing USB interface or a LogBox
- Woolich Racing provides communication interfaces for a wide range of motorcycle makes and models, you can find further information here.
- Harness - this is a set or wires and connectors which allows the communication interface to 'talk' to your ECU
- Woolich Racing provides harnesses for a wide range of motorcycle makes and models, you can find further information here.
- Part number of the ECU - there are thousands of ECUs used today and it is critical that we write the correct information specific to a given ECU and the related vehicle.
If we write the wrong information then the ECU and vehicle may not operate.
The ECU part number is unique and must be known BEFORE we can start to work with the ECU using the WRT software. Once we know the ECU part number we can typically read/write and modify all functions pertaining to tuning the vehicle.
We can find the ECU part number in a number of ways, these are described here.
- Bin file definition - a binary file or 'bin' file is saved inside the memory of every ECU and is directly linked to a corresponding ECU part number. The bin file definition contains all of specific information for how that particular vehicle functions. Bin files normally contain a set of 'maps' which allow the control of fuel supply, ignition timing etc.
Bin files can have any number of formats and it is critical that we write all of the different information into the correct places in the memory to the ECU. The bin file definition tells us exactly where to write all of the different information like ignition and fuel maps for your specific ECU.
You then will need a bin file definition corresponding to your ECU part number, these can be purchased from Woolich Racing here.
