FlashCAN Subaru

Software Overview

FlashCAN Subaru supports 2007 to 2010 Subaru Impreza, Legacy & Forester vehicles, and allows reprogramming of the standard OEM engine management unit. UK, US, Australian, South African, European & Japanese vehicles are all supported. This is the software that EcuTek use every day for remapping and tuning of this range of vehicles.

RaceROM Support

FlashCAN Subaru supports the new RaceROM ECU Enhancements, please visit the RaceROM page for more details.

Tuneable Parameters

FlashCAN Subaru allows you to alter parameters in the ECU, such as:

Map List
  • Accelerator Maps
  • Boost Control
  • Desired Boost Pressure & Wastegate Solenoid Control Maps
  • Diagnostic Trouble Codes
  • Fuel Tables
  • Fuel Injector Scaling
  • Fuel Injector Battery Voltage Compensation
  • Ignition Timing Tables
  • Rev Limit
  • Speed Limit
  • TGV Control
  • Torque Limits
  • Turbo Dynamics Control

Advanced Features

Flash2004 supports the RaceROM Feature Enhancement providing custom features and functions normally seen on aftermarket ECU systems to the manufacturer standard ECU. These features provide a new level in tuning potential.

  • Speed Density based calibration - Provides the option to run the vehicle fuelling based on MAP, engine speed and air temp, allowing the removal of the MAF or larger intakes.
  • Launch Control - Provides a customisable launch control system.
  • Map Switching for Fuel, Timing, VVT and Rev Limit - Provides alternate maps for fuel, timing, VVT and rev limits which can be switched while the vehicle is in operation.
  • Downshift auto blip - Provides a momentary throttle adjustment when changing gear, raising enging RPM to aid quick down-shifting.
  • Flat-foot Shifting - Allows for upshift gear changes to be made while the accelerator is fully depressed.
  • Per-gear Boost Control - Provides maps for tuning the boost level for each gear.
  • Per-gear Rev Limits - Provides maps for setting rev limits in each gear.
  • Custom Parameter Logging - Provides access to custom data logging parameters not available using the Subaru diagnostic tool.

Some of the other advanced features for FlashCAN Subaru:

  • Live visual display of ECU data.
  • Logging of live ECU data which can by viewed by FlashCAN or DeltaDash.
  • Live coloured map tracing on Map Editing windows.
  • Innovate external sensor logging facility which allows additional external sensors to be logged by DeltaDash.
  • Ability to Read and Clear all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from the Engine ECU.

Live Data:

When connected to a car, FlashCAN Subaru can offer real time data and map tracing.
The following data is available from the "Live Data" tab of the ROM file being accessed. This data is accessed directly from the ECU in real time.

Live Data Window
  • RPM: Engine speed. (Revolutions Per Minute)
  • Injector Duty Cycle: Percentage of time that the injector is open vs. closed (the time available changes as Engine speed increases (becomes less).
  • Ignition Timing: This displays the actual ignition timing that the ECU is currently using
  • Knock Retard: Knock retard is the amount of Ignition timing removed by the ECU because of knock
  • Air Flow: Shows the reading from the Mass Airflow sensor
  • External Lambda/AFR Input Channel: This will only be displayed if an External Sensor has been configured in DeltaDash.
  • Custom RaceROM parameters such as:-
    • Desired Boost
    • Engine Load
    • Ignition Knock Retard
    • Ignition Learnt Correction
    • Ignition Coarse Correction
    • Knock Sensor Input
    • Initial & Max Wastegate Duty

Live Coloured Map Tracing:

The example below shows how the Live Coloured Map Tracing feature shows the Knock correction on the Ignition Map.
It is possible to get more detailed information by holding the mouse over a specific value.

Live Data Window

It is possible to log the data shown during Map Access mode for analysis in DeltaDash or FlashCAN.
It is then possible to customise the way the logged data are displayed using the Time Graphs, Data Table, Custom 2D Graphing, and Custom 3D Graphing tabs in the Log Viewer, as shown below:
