360 Another glowing review for the 360Trev tune!

3 years now with it. Well done .. if your afraid of it. Don't be its a new car

 

I have had 3 updates over the 3 years. But I belive the last one that we both probably ha e is the latest and greatest.

 

So badass. You guys are all making me miss my car Can't get it back from the shop soon enough!

Enjoy the ride!

 

My CS at a shop buttoning up everything I didn't want to mess with after doing enough myself. Fixing timing (it was delivered to me 3 degrees of between banks), major service, clutch, flywheel, removed air rails, new fuel pumps, fuel lines, installing S-:line exhaust, tons of little stuff. So excited for when I get it back. Gonna be a different car!

 

That's the plan. That's after me myself fixing all the grounds, replacing the fried TCU, replacing the ball joints and all suspension components, the alternator, some F1 parts, and a few other things. I am certainly looking forward to it. Trev and Sam have also both helped me during this process as well. Good people.

Now go enjoy your basically NEW car!

 

Nice! Mine is getting done early next week. Still waffling on whether to do the TCU. Think it will hinge on whether the TCU that's currently in my '04 would have to be upgraded. I've yet to pull the cover and check the part number.

 

Your most welcome Jeremy,

I have been following the original Rolls Royce mantra about making it the best it can be. There was a lot of work involved in my tireless effort to get this the best it can be, I have a vested interest here being a 360 lover

Currently on 8th Generation. Kind of sounding like an iPhone version number now, hahah, well they are on 15th version so I have some to go yet...

There was a lot of work done to fine tune the F1 system to Engine coordination to ensure it's significantly improves the shifting (something I believe Lamborghini also managed to work out on their last iteration of AMT too so I am not the only one who figured this out was badly done originally). This eliminates so much of the delay that your basically using 'instant torque' to get to target torque that the F1 system wants 'without delay' and this means matching can be more precise too so no bog either, this faster shift also improve clutch life too as less slip involved - so all round, its a win win. Sam also has a 599 F1 and he originally was all set to convert it to gated until I did the same approach on his 599 and ever since he's loving how the F1 drives. Did the same trick on other AMT models too like the 575M so yes this works really well. This at least gives people options now.

Talking about botched gated conversions, I noticed that some people are now "experimenting" with 'faking' the TCU can bus messaging as a method of eliminating the re-flashing of engine ecu's for gated conversions (to simplify conversion). In essence 'tricking' the Engine ecu and instrument cluster into believing the car is operating in F1 mode even though its actually being controlled by a stick shift. I analyzed this approach many years ago and after detailed verification of what the engine ecu's do in either mode I totally 'discounted' this approach as 'dangerous'. This approach can only really be done on more modern hardware (The F430 s/w is incompatible with this) where the software was designed to be fully supporting of proxi-alignment - this methodology was really only adopted fully in MED9.x. (i.e. 458 onward).

Its actually not very difficult to do this can bus faking but also strongly discouraged and 100% not recommended. So anyone who is fitting a kit like this just flash the ecu's properly. This is a non-starter and could risk you entire engine. Why? Its because there are multiple driving setup configurations which are calibrated very differently for an AMT shift vs gated mode in the engine software. The TCU computer doesn't "fluff" a shift which could easily cause 'overrev' conditions which Bosch understood and did special changes in the code to make it much safer for a gated vs F1 car. Not just overrev but all kinds of weird behavior edge cases which will make the car just drive badly when driven as a gated in 'f1' mode.

 

Trev's updates work just as well on the V12s, too, 575M, 612, and 599.

 

Hi
Loving the sound of this but I'm really struggling to find someone in the UK to flash it for me , don't suppose anyone could point me in the right direction?

 

Av Engineering installed trevs tune for me.
Ashford- Kent

 

Thanks I will do.
Tried AV earlier today but got told they don't do it anymore........
