RaceROM Custom Features
RaceROM Custom features are written into our tuning software to give you unique features that don’t come as standard. They need to be set up by an EcuTek tuner, and you may be charged extra as they take time to configure.
- Four-way Mode Switching
- Swap between four different modes using either the cruise control buttons or ECU Connect on your mobile device. Which mode you are in will be indicated on the rev counter. For example, you could get your tuner to set up a tune on mode 1 designed for track days – Track Mode; For enjoying yourself on the road in mode 2 – Fast Road Mode; a self-adjusting FlexFule tune on mode 3 – Flex Mode; and a tune for driving your grandma around on mode 4 – Economy Mode. It’s up to you to decide what set-up you want in each mode.
- Live Boost Adjustment
- Once your tuner has set this up in the tune, you can adjust boost live in each mode using the ECU Connect app or the cruise control buttons.
- Launch Control with BOTL
- Your tuner can adjust your launch RPM in the software. Discuss with them where you want the launch rpm to be set. To launch, put your foot hard on the brake. Floor the throttle past the kick-down switch. The BOTL (Boost-off-the-line) feature will automatically build boost as the RPM builds. Once at your target RPM, let go of the brake and enjoy a fully boosted launch!
- Per Gear Boost Control
- Your tuner can adjust boost in each gear and for a given accelerator position to get the maximum performance and traction in each gear.
- Self Adjusting FlexFuel
- No more worries about calculating the ethanol in the tank; our RaceROM self-adjusting flex-fuel does it all for you. Just fit a 0-5v Flex Fuel sensor, and off you go. Whatever Ethanol content in the tank, the tune will automatically adjust to give you optimal performance. Link up with ECU Connect to display the current Ethanol blend on a gauge in a dashboard.
- Charge Air Fail-Safe
- If the charge air goes above a specified threshold (the charge air cooler has not been bled properly, is too small for the modifications, or the ambient is very high), the fail-safe will reduce engine torque to protect the engine.
- 3 x ECU Inputs
- Import 0-5V signals (wideband or flex-fuel sensor) through the exhaust gas temp sensor, boost pressure sensor or even an unused pin 60 of the ECU.
- Valet Mode
- Low power mode with reduced torque together with a time and distance limit giving you peace of mind when the car is in someone else’s hands. Arms and disarm using steering wheel controls or via the ECU Connect app.

RaceROM Custom Features
RaceROM Custom features are written into our tuning software to give you unique features that don’t come as standard. They need to be set up by an EcuTek tuner, and you may be charged extra as they take time to configure.
- Four-way Mode Switching
- Swap between four different modes using either the cruise control buttons or ECU Connect on your mobile device. For example, Track Mode; Fast Road Mode, E85 Mode; Economy Mode. It’s up to you to decide what set-up you want in each mode.
- Using the RaceROM Boost controller, you can adjust your boost pressure in each mode using the cruise control or ECU Connect.
- One-Touch AntiLag/Rolling Launch
- RaceROM Rolling Launch allows you to roll race at the touch of the button. To set, enter the map switch mode in which Rolling Launch is activated. Press and hold the cruise control set button to build boost, adjust your speed with the accel pedal to match your opponent aaand…release the set button and enjoy! The system can be set up using activation time limits, temperature limits and a minimum re-arm time to try and maintain reliability.
- RaceROM Burble
- Switch between a range of soft to hard burble on the fly, or even disable completely in Sport for full stealth mode.
- Self Adjusting FlexFuel
- No more worries about calculating the ethanol in the tank; our RaceROM self-adjusting flex-fuel does it all for you. Just fit a CANbus enabled Flex Fuel sensor, and off you go. Whatever Ethanol content in the tank, the tune will automatically adjust to give you optimal performance. Link up with ECU Connect or use the Sports Display to display the current Ethanol blend. A quick check can be carried out when stationary just by pressing the cruise control button to sweep the tacho needle to display ethanol percentage up to 70%
- Up to 8 CANBus Inputs
- Add a range of external sensor inputs. For example:
- Zeitronix ECA-2 ethanol sensor
- Zeitronix ZT-3 wideband sensor
- Innovate LC-3 multi-sensor
- ECUmaster CANswitch
- Autosport AnalogX
- Custom user-defined CAN sensor
- CAN devices such as the AnalogX allow for multiple variable inputs that can be used to import 0-5v sensors, driver trim switches or even a combination including a 0-5v ethanol content signal.
- Add a range of external sensor inputs. For example:
- Up to 8 CANBus outputs
- Add external drivers or controllers for boost solenoids, water injection, nitrous control, and even secondary port injection.
- RaceROM Sequential Port Injection controller
- Using the Motiv Motorsport Reflex Box, you can bolt-on and control aftermarket port injectors, releasing the power from those bigger turbos and fuel pumps to deliver the maximum performance from your modifications.
- Sports Display HiJack
- Display and adjust your max torque using the sports display or use it as an additional dashboard display to show ECU parameters.
- Valet Mode
- Put the car into a low power mode with limited speed and range, either as a security measure or to allow the car to be limited when handed over to a third party. This still leaves all four Map Switch modes available for your choice of setups.

Who are ProECU Tuning Suites for?
ProECU Tuning Suites have been designed with a professional tuner in mind. Those familiar with engine management will find the software intuitive, powerful and easy to use.
This product is available to the commercial tuner only and is not supplied to individuals.
How is the ECU reprogrammed?
To reprogram the ECU, the EcuTek programming interface is simply plugged into the diagnostic socket of the car. Some of the supported vehicles can then be reprogrammed in under 25 seconds!
Once an effective map has been produced for a particular combination of modifications, further identically mapped ECUs may be rapidly produced. This is extremely useful for companies who wish to package a pre-mapped ECU with their exhaust manifolds or turbo / front mounted intercooler kits.
Why Reprogram the Original ECU?
- Reprogramming the original ECU is by far the cleanest, safest and quickest way of correctly compensating for engine, induction and exhaust modifications. The maps in the standard ECU may be adjusted to cater for virtually any modifications that may be made to the car.
- Civilised features such as cold start and idle stability are retained and performance mapping is created on the basis of the (already very good) standard manufacturer map.
- Accurate mapping replaces risky boost clamps, bleed valves, boost controllers and piggy-back modules, these extra devices discarded for good.
- The safety features of the ECU are retained, such as sensor checks, fuel cut, boost cut, rev limit, speed limit and “limp-home” mode, though they may be altered to suit the car and its modifications. As an example, if the ECU detects a problem (say, engine over-temperature or failed sensor) it is still in full control of boost pressure and so takes evasive action to protect the engine. This comes as a stark contrast to external controllers and piggyback modules either taking control of the engine functions or fooling the ECU about the state of its sensors.
Tuner Requirements
- Familiarity with standard Windows based software applications
- Commercial tuning experience is a prerequisite for the use of ProECU Tuning Suites
- Access to a rolling road dyno is recommended
