TunerPro example screen while configuring the Turbolamik TCU.
1. Select "MaxxECU" for the "CAN2A type CAR"
2. Select "MaxxECU" for the "CAN2B Sport ECU type".
3. Properly set CAN speed to match the MaxxECU CAN speed, default 500kbit/s (3).
MaxxECU CAN
Transmit: 0x451,0x452.
Receive: 0x450, 0x453, 0x454, 0x455.
Available data from Turbolamik: Gearbox program, Gearbox error codes, gearbox converter slip, VSS GEAR, VSS SPEED, Gearbox Mode, Gearbox Oil Temp, Gearbox clutch slip.
Available requests from Turbolamik: BLIP, SHIFTCUT, brake switch, Transbrake, Launch.
1. Enable the Turbolamik controller option in CAN settings --> CAN Powertrain controls, When enabled, MaxxECU is transmitting RPM, MAP, TPS, Pedal position according to Turbolamik 2.0 CAN READ spec.
When the above powertrain controller is enabled, the shift cut /torque reduction request is captured according to the Turbolamik 2.0 CAN SEND spec and triggers the blip function in MaxxECU.
Note: There is no need to make any custom CAN input. It is handled internally in MaxxECU.
MaxxECU Shift cut
Enable the shift cut feature under Motorsport --> Shiftcut, and select any shift cut modes using the shiftcut input, for more information and how to setup shift cut, see Shiftcut.
MaxxECU blip
Enable the blip feature in Motorsport --> Blip, be sure to use the enabled by digital input (throttle blip enable), to make sure the blip feature is deactivated whenever the turbolamik TCU stops sending the blip request.
Note: use the blip timers as a timeout value.
In MTune 1.151 the we added the option to set the VSS SPEED from other source, so the above speed source must be selected for VSS SPEED to come from the external TCU control protocol.
