View Full Version : ECU remap for more torque



loisk
04-30-2017, 09:11 PM
A fellow in Western Australia is selling an F3S which has had an ECU remap done by the authorised Seadoo dealer.

He tells me that hp went from 115 to 127
and Nm from 130 to 145

As he says, when in 3rd gear at 60kph pre-remap = need to downchange gear,
after remap "bike just goes"

His summary is more torque, more enjoyable below 3000rpm, better throttle response, less gear changing so improved mpg. Easily reversible.

Nb we do not have the long belt/different sprocket here in oz.n

My query is - has anyone else heard of this ? ?

Meantime, I am trying to find out more...

more...

Info so far indicates that the remap is being done "unofficially" by a dealer (possibly two)

So

- it seems it can be done
- if unofficial, presumably there is the possibility of warranty issues

hmmm

:D Who will be the first to have it done, and report back? :clap:
If this can be done to the F3: it can also be made to work for an RT also! :yes:

Every single person I know that either messes with their PC or adds a phantom "chip" ends up with little to no power and then removes it. Walk away from any machine that was tampered with. The Spyder has too much or enough power as is so why the need for a few extra foot pounds of torque? My thoughts.

Torque is a good thing IMO. A little more couldn't hurt anything as long as you don't go crazy with all kinds of other mods. Hell the Harleys have more Torgue than the Spyder and its only a 2 cylinder

in a way i have to agree with the above post of WHY. after all i was happy with the power of the 1330 for such a big wind catcher that it was, it moved pretty good. and god forbid the motor went sour, with the buds system report telling everything about the bike. and if for some reason it spits out that it was re-mapped, it might void the warranty on the motor

Got to disagree, remapping in the performance car world is perfectly normal and can be done with no impact on reliability. I've remapped a number myself to great effect. They have all been turbo engines so much easier to get more bhp from a map. Not sure how much could be gained from the N/A engine in the spyder, but a bump to 127 seems feasible.

I would go for this if someone in the UK started doing them. My warranty is up anyway and I will only go to a dealer now if it breaks in such a way that I or a local bike shop can't fix it.

If there is any warranty left, I would have to guess its been voided. Over the years, fuel mapping, power commanders, Hindel exhausts etc. have usually led to unwanted problems unless they were installed with no glitches.

Since I don't belong to the "more power Scotty" group, I would not be in the market for a "souped up" version of the :f_spider:. They are fidgety enough without any additional help--IMO. :yes:

I have an F3 SM6, and from day one it was soooo sluggish in 2nd gear. Much like the ST was.
I happened to be at my dealer at the same time the BRP Aftersales Tech from Australia was there.
He asked me how I liked my F3, and I told him I loved it, but 2nd gear was rubbish, very sluggish then
takes of when it feels like it. To cut a long story short, he advised they were working on a program
to remedy it. A couple of weeks later I replaced my rear tyre. And as I left the dealer, I had 2nd Gear!!!
That is the only authorized map changing that I know of. And I have asked a couple of times.
There is a guy in Auckland that does it, but he is not an Authorised Dealer

I agree. If done correctly it is a complete 'Win-Win' situation. Many times you can get more power, smoother power, and even increased fuel mileage. I'd be interested.

Thank you, Colin. That's the kind of change I am after - nothing to do with top speed. Now I have a few more facts to take to my dealer. Don't suppose you recall the name of the brp after sales tech perchance?

Even though my F3S is out of warranty, I would prefer an 'authorised' remap.

Hi Lois, I think his name was Nick, but I'm not sure if he is still there. But I'm sure there will be someone at BRP
that would know about it.

I hope you don't think I am complaining - I'm not.

But if I can get a lead on an authorised remap to get rid of the flat spot, then I will.

Just pointing out - for those talking about top speed and manhood -

In Australia, we have the 79 not 89 sprocket. Another thread put this as an 11% loss in low end power. I notice this as major hesitation in lower gears. Some low-mid range torque - via an ecu remap - seems to address this, given the reports from Western Australia, a Melbourne rider, and Colin from New Zealand.

It seems to me that, if some dealers are doing this, then it should be available more widely.

If just one of those dealers, or the Tech from BRP Australia, could pass on info, then I can go and see my dealer.

Meantime of course I can just wring the throttle a little more, or downchange, however there IS a proven better solution - it just seems to be a secret - which I am endeavouring to reveal.

I appreciate the info and hope that someone will let me in to this "secret".

Ps I am not the least bit interested in the manhood aspect :roflblack:

My biggest question on this is whether the bikes that have been remapped were both SM6 models? This could be harder to achieve on the SE6 due to the gearbox settings in the ECU.

In my experience of vehicle remaps they appear more quickly for manual models then semi autos. Gearbox settings can get corrupted unless the correct ROM is used as the base for the map.

We have the smaller sprocket here in the UK too so hopefully an AUS/NZ map could be used here.

Ahh, well that is good news - I'm now officially hopeful that someone in the UK will acquire the map and start offering a remap service.

BIggest drawback here is that there are only five can-am dealers in the whole country and AFAIK only one non franchise mechanic.

If you find out the name of the place offering the remaps let me know - might drop them an e-mail.

I know, they just haven't been popular here over the years- there's been less than 500 registered in the UK since 2008. Price doesn't help, just too much money by the time you add our 20% VAT on.
That's why I imported mine from Germany - saved a lot of money :firstplace:

It makes no difference if it is SM6 or SE6, quite a few SE6's have been done here. And it is a BRP remap so technically
your dealer should be able to track it down.

I think we have 7 Dealers here, and only 2 of them are in the South Island.
I think it may be around 800 Spyders sold in NZ.
A lot of people like them and want one until they see the pricetag

Colin - as it's a brp remap - any chance you can ask your dealer for any clues, like the number of the Technical Service Bulletin ?? What is the name of your dealer?

If I can give a reference number to my dealer, all is generally good; without it, not so good.

Failing a TSB, can you find anything specific I can pass on to my guy?

Now that I know there are quite a few spyders with this remap, I shall give a WA dealer a call... Wish me luck. If I find anything, I shall certainly pass on email info.

yes - the Perth one is the same one I mentioned as having the remap.

Yeah but you're missing the point. It's not really about the extra horsepower (although that's a nice bonus for those occassional full bore overtakes) but more about making it just nicer to drive.

Every vehicle I've had remapped just felt smoother afterwards.

Thanks, the TSB would indeed be very handy as I can try that on a UK dealer then. The UK and Aus/NZ united being pretty much the same will certianly help.

Not sure I didn't see this initially.
Myself I am skeptical.
To remap effectively one would need to have a map from a Dyno Tuned Spyder. Dyno tuning is something a Seadoo Dealer tech does no have the ability to do.

In fact the way the Spyder is setup, doing a dyno is not an easy affair let alone finding a "reverse" trike setup. Only know of a very small handful of folks here that can do it.

However, IF he got hold of a map, that map is going to change depended on the exhaust and pipes being used.

Correct me if I am wrong, but haven't brp done various remaps over the years - adjusting for running lean etc. I know there was one on the st, and vaguely recall one on the Rs too.

From what I know of what has been done, it's a buds thing, not a dyno or power-thing-add-on.

Maybe brp have created a map from a dyno'd spyder? (Clearly, I am a bit lost re this possibility)

The mystery continues ...

monkeyboymorton
05-04-2017, 06:46 AM
Agree, this would be a straight replacement for the existing map based on stock components as it's coming rom BRP themselves - not a tuner. So would not require any rolling road time to set it up.

Obviously anyone who has changed exhaust, removed secondary CAT etc. will have a different configuration to stock, but I don't see why the new map wouldn't adapt to these as the existing one does? It would just adjust fuelling etc. based on the new parameters.

If this was coming from a tuner the rolling road / individual setup would only be required if bike has been modified from stock. Lots of companies offer plug and play updates to unmodified vehicles as they are based on a standard starting point. Usually done at the roadside with a laptop.

Maybe get your facts right before inferring that I am telling lies. The remap that was done on my F3 and many other F3s was done to improve performance in 2nd gear, as I said in my original post. This was supplied to my dealer and a few others by BRP Australia.

Hi Everyone
I had a call from one of my customers this morning regarding this thread and he wanted me to post a reply,

My name is Jason and im the guy mentioned in this thread, i was the workshop Manager at australia's largest and no1 Can Am dealership
and also have my own business remapping all types of seadoo and can am including spyders.
I have been remapping spyders since 2007/8 when they first came out,
Since then we have remapped a hell of alot of spyders in New Zealand, Australia, Europe, Asia and the Middle east.

On our remaps i do the following
Lift rev limiter
Change the way the traction control comes in
Optimize fuel and afr maps
Optimize timing maps
Optimize gear selection (auto trans)
Remove speed limit restrictors
and quite a bit more (trade secrets), so what you get is a bike with much more torque , faster and cleaner acceleration , better gear changing and better fuel economy its night and day difference.
These bikes from factory run lean to pass emission laws so the small mods that people tend to do like air filter, cat removal, exhaust mods etc etc will actually run your bike dangerously lean and you run the risk of melting a piston.
If you have played with your bike i suggest you remove the spark plugs and have a good look if they are white they are very lean if they are white with little specs on the electrode i would suggest your engine has been detonating either been to lean or wrong fuel.
The ecu's in these bikes are so smart and far superior to any ecu that you will get in a car in actual fact they have a couple of hundred maps just for the fueling side alone then you have timing and compensation maps etc but can only do so much to compensate changes from factory "stock".

I can remap any spyders from late 2007 to latest 2017, manual or auto.

As for the BRP" Remap" there isn't one brp have had small software changes and releases over the last few years one of them actually helped slightly with gear changes or laziness by adding a little bit of timing but this is only available when the dealer plugs buds in and the ecu needs a software upgrade.
I am a BRP authorised tech and have even done mapping for BRP.

A lot of the earlier 1330 did need the software upgrade but the later spyders have this from factory this is why some guys who have been to the dealership noticed a difference and some dont.
And to be honest even the latest bikes still suffer from the the lazyness in the gears but this we can change in the remaps.

The F3 that was mentioned in the "for sale ad" i remapped a few months ago i have actually messaged this customer to come here and share his findings with this group.

You're
asking why someone would want more torque or power?


Just hand in your man card at the door.:sour:

Always be wary of those that threaten to take your man card. My sons took mine years ago when I bought a Hybrid car and an electric mower. When I asked how to get it back I was told that I cannot ask,it was all very vague. :banghead:

After a few year ear I got an "official" man card, the rules are layer out quite clearly.
1 . You must burp your naame in front of other men, or,
2. You must build something with a power tool.

FYI, the hybrid car was gone in a year, what a bad idea, and the mower lasted a month.

Needless to say my wallet holds an official man card and my man cave / awesome garage, displays the certificate of authenticity. One other footnote, because of other reasons I had my testosterone checked. Normal levels are between 200 and 1,000, mine is over 850, not bad for a geezer.

I will not divulge the party that was mentioned but a week or two on this site there was a post talking about on each of the best Spyder techs in the USA, at a dealership that had devised a remapping and it was currently under trials for the past six months. What will happen with this who knows.

Let's face it, whether you need it or not there are always those looking for more power, new heights, more strength and better stamina, everyone is right, just some are more right than others.

After all, like the sign states, "If I were to agree with you, we would both be wrong!" Of course that is from one perspective.

If a local dealer accomplishes a simple BUDS update, will that overwrite your changes or are these permanent locked data?

A basic buds check, fault clear, maint reset etc wont harm our files as they are stored in a different part of the ecu
But if you had a full firmware update (very very unlikely)yes this can run risks of the tune been wiped.
I keep all my customers details on file as well as software/firmware versions and can always rewrite tune at no cost just a small post back fee.

Does updating the ECU void manufacturer warranty?
Also, prior to reading this thread I was wondering if ECU setup/coding is a big part of the difference between the regular F3 and the F3-S? (the extra ~10 ponies)

I have a stock F3-S D500 (SE), and it's pretty snappy. However, I'd really love to have smoother shifting from 1'st to second. Sometimes it's a bit rough IMO. (Maybe that's completely normal.) Feathering the throttle does help, but not always. (So I'm not so sure it's the right way to do things.*)

Note: Have owned quite a few sport bikes in the past. This is the first "paddle shift" machine I've ever owned/driven.

Torque is a good thing IMO. A little more couldn't hurt anything as long as you don't go crazy with all kinds of other mods. Hell the Harleys have more Torgue than the Spyder and its only a 2 cylinder


"only a 2 cylinder" is one of the reasons it has more torque. Engines with fewer (yet larger) cylinders and longer strokes tend to have more TQ than shorter stroke multi-cyl engines. Don't forget, we are only 1330 cc. We have more hp than a H-D, but require much higher rpm to achieve that power. Personally, I prefer the higher TQ in the lower rpm range that I use most. (how often are you at >6000 rpm where your HP resides?)

hi Jason,

would you be able to provide a cost in US dollars if we were to send you the ECU? Also, what is the turn around time if being mailed from the US? was thinking this can be an option once the bike is parked for the winter months.

Hi Bob
The warranty this is really up to your dealers discretion,
You have to remember that "ALL" manufactures dont want any of there products changed in any way.
This includes changing of tyres , or exhaust , changes , air filter changes , cat bypass the smallest of things can void your warranty unless bought from the manufacturer.
In saying this my tunes are virtually untraceable and having worked around brp dealerships for many years i do know they will never have the equipment to read the ecu.
The coding between all the models are similar (vary from software versions) but each bike has different every day running maps all the can ams are very restricted from factory so there is a great difference between a stock and modified map and this includes helping with gear changing.

Hi
Im quite happy to give pricing via pm at this stage, i want to email the powers upstairs of this web site and get the ok to put the pricing on a open forum ( don't like to step on anyone's toes)
My service is fairly quick i normally say a time of 7-10 days.
depending on the bike is depending where the ecu is but normally down on the lhs under the cowling.
The ecu is held in via 3 screws if you unplug the 2 x main wire plugs (on these the plugs have a little push tang if you push this in and sweep the locking arm open in one movement the plug will come out fairly easy)
If anyone has a issue in removing these i might be able to do a step by step drawing.
Shipping these days is very fast,i just sent a ecu back to greece from australia and it took 4 days.
Any questions please feel free to ask

Very interested in this. I heard someone in Canada was doing a similar thing, but it sounds like Jase really knows what he's talking about.

A thought comes to mind.....

Is it possible to have two ECU's and swap them from a regular one to a re-mapped one? Could a person buy an extra ECU, send it to Jase for the updates and then just replace it with their stock ECU when he ships it back? This would allow you to switch back, send it in for re-mapping again if needed without downtime, etc.

Hi
This is a great idea and this is what i do with the seadoo and some of the can-am guys.
The only problem is Brp in its greatest wisdom chops and changes the firmware/software so much between years that we would need more than 1 ecu to use as a exchange.
The Bosch ecu is very smart and holds so much info about a particular model that if we installed it on another model we run risks of the bike not running correctly,faults coming on incorrect mapping etc, i wish it was easier.
I do try and make it as quick and as painless as possible but in saying that i will always take my time once i have the ecu here and my mapping software on to make sure everything is correct and i give my customers the best (and safe) remaps avaliable.

Hey Peter

I had a spyder bought in to our service dept a few months back,
This particular spyder came from Adelaide (as the owners) with a older couple who owned it.
They left home (Adelaide)on a big ole tiki tour of western auz and broke down in the outback after calling a local can am agent they picked the bike up but after a few days could not get running so Brp told them to take it to another agent.
After this agent replaced a few parts they to could not get it running so Brp got the bike bought to me in Perth.
I repaired the bike and the owners flew in to ride the bike back to Adelaide.
Now they called me once home to thank me again and say they made it but i can not remember his name or ph no.
Ill post a pick of the bike Just incase you might recognize it and know the owner

So I read that to be we can't just buy a 2nd hand ECU, send it to JASE to put the new map on and plug it into our bike. We need our particular ECU to be the base for the new map.

So to have 2 ECUs you would still need to send Jase the ECU off your bike so he could copy that on to the spare one, unless you could get your ECU copied onto a spare one somewhere.

Kind of defeats the object if Jase needs both ECUs, unless you particularly wanted to have one with a standard map on.

Hi

What i am trying to say is
If we had say 10 people all with for instance 2014 RT's then we can swap the spare ecu between these bikes as they would all have the same software/firmware the only thing we would need to do is marry the dash to ecu and program key.
But if we say had another person who had for instance 2015 RS-S then they would run a slightly different software/firmware then the spare ecu might not work correctly.
Also noting the ecu will have different software between manual and auto trans bikes.

Hope this helps

ECM's are about $500 US.
Not only are there differences between models & years, but also within manufacturing dates & where machines are made for/sold.
(North America has different ECM than elsewhere on my machine. Possibly that's due to gearing & emissions etc.)

I only have the F3 shop manual, but the engine ECM in question is under the left side panel as you look from the seat forward.

Not sure on an RT but I would imagine the same place as the engine/gearbox is effectively the same. The transmission ECM is on the right side of the engine and is labelled 'transmission'.

They do look very similar.

Actually on the spyders there are more than 1 computer, on the latest bike you can get up to 7/8 computers as such.
The complete system works on a protocol called can bus, to put it in a easy way to explain i always say think of it as a old telephone exchange.

Treat your dash as the main telephone exchange
Then all your other computers (telephones) talk to each other via the 1 exchange (dash )
For instance when you put your foot on the brake and click into first gear (semi auto) you just push the button then the signal goes to the dash, the dash then turns around and tells another computer in your trans that it wants first gear so it puts it into first gear then sends a signal back to the dash to tell the dash what gear it in, haha it all makes for very interesting fault finding when we have issues.
This is why it takes so long to power up as the dash needs to communicate with all the other computers before it will let you proceed with starting the bike.
Most new vehicles run Can Bus protocol and have done for a few years long gone are the days of the old points and carb set up:ohyea:

Sounds like the shifting module was not set up correctly from factory i see this alot and it scares the crap out of most techs playing with parts of buds they dont understand.
The correct way to made sure the bike has learned its gears and shift adaption is to actually delete all the known parameters for gears on buds then while holding the laptop open with your legs nice and easy go for a ride letting buds re learn the gears.
Looks funny seeing a guy scream past on a spyder with a laptop on his knees :)

Hello everyone,
I am the owner of the F3S with the ECU tune by Jase. I'd like to share with you my experience. I've had the tune for more than three months now, the bike runs on unleaded 98 only. When i bought the bike with the stock ECU I was really disappointed with the lack of power/torque in 2nd ,3rd gear. Because I use my spyder a lot to commute I don't want to be to high in the rpm because it'll make me look like an imbecile on three wheels, especially since I have the Akrapovic exhaust.
Now what the tune does is letting the bike express itself a lot more below 3,500rpm as low as 2,000rpm. Believe me it is just mind blowing. The bike just pulls the way it should do. I've ridden an RS many years ago and the RS seemed to have more torque wight he standard setting than my F3 so i was really puzzled on why BRP would "kill" their engine like this. It really is frustrating as standard to have such a sluggish engine. Past the 5,500rpm there isn't much difference, on both tunes the bike is a rocket !

Nonetheless Jase is here and he's one of those mechanic geniuses with the right attitude to match. I couldn't recommend and think him enough for the work is done on my bike. He's been working on hundreds spyders both here and in NZ. No issue at all related to the tune in those three months.

Any questions feel free to ask but I think he's covered everything already.

Because I use my spyder a lot to commute I don't want to be to high in the rpm because it'll make me look like an imbecile on three wheels, especially since I have the Akrapovic exhaust.
Now what the tune does is letting the bike express itself a lot more below 3,500rpm as low as 2,000rpm. Believe me it is just mind blowing. The bike just pulls the way it should do. I've ridden an RS many years ago and the RS seemed to have more torque wight he standard setting than my F3 so i was really puzzled on why BRP would "kill" their engine like this. It really is frustrating as standard to have such a sluggish engine. Past the 5,500rpm there isn't much difference, on both tunes the bike is a rocket !

Nonetheless Jase is here and he's one of those mechanic geniuses with the right attitude to match. I couldn't recommend and think him enough for the work is done on my bike. He's been working on hundreds spyders both here and in NZ. No issue at all related to the tune in those three months.

Any questions feel free to ask but I think he's covered everything already.
" unleaded 98 only " :dontknow: to best of my knowledge 94 oct is the highest pump gas available in the USA ...... I hope this was a typo ???????? ........... Mike :thumbup:

He's talking 98 RON which equals 93 octane.....

Jase, perhaps you can send one to Lamont or JCTHORNE, both of whom we all know and trust. I know if either of them sign off on this and confirm what you say this can do you will probably have 100's of ECUs at your doorstep within a couple of weeks.

It can't be trusted until an American says it's OK, Siny? ;) :D:D

I also think the poster has not read the whole thread, Jase can't send an ECU over to the US to test the map. An owner needs to send the ECU from their particular spyder to Jase so he can reprogram it and then have it sent back.

I intend to get this done later in the year but at the moment I don't want my bike off the road. I'll certainly post my impressions as and when I get it done.

Gremio/Jase,
When you say "the bike runs on unleaded 98 only" (that's 98 RON of course, Mike ;)), does that mean it can ONLY run on 98 once the remap is done, or that you "prefer" to run it on 98, but it would be OK on 95 (that's 95 RON of course, Mike ;)). I ask as we can often only get up to 95 in the country areas. (That's 95 RON of course, Mike;))
