Hello Just wondering, is anyone here messing around with OBD technology?
Not just OBDII as per say but euro and japan standards...

Anyone?
 
I live in Kulai, messing around with my OBD1 ECU(rechipping and programming)Currently I success to mod my Honda P30 ECU to run boost on my EK supercharge B20 engine and rechip the Wira 1.8 ECU remove RPM and fuel cut. What kind of ECU you playing with can share your experince..? I was very interested on OBD mod....Cheers

I got 1 unit of OBD II scanner, it basically tell which part of your car (elctronic)is malfunction. Not sure is this consider messing around
 
as far as i know the OB11 diagnostic tools don't workie on all jap and most eurocars .

they dont mod, the basically check and displays codes/ problems of the car.
 
Hey Guys, Thanks for the reply.

I do agree on a couple of points made.

OBD is strictly American Legislature hence if the car is destined for the US market then it must be OBD II complaint.

It does not really allow mods, its more of a diagnostic tool and info.

Although there is the US OMB II std, there are also other standards, SAE, and one more european one.

Anyway the local K3VE (DVVT/Azanza) engine is SAE compliant.
Hence I would like to know is anyone using these packaged software tools to run on their PDAs lap tops to display the engine sensors?

It would be pretty interesting to see how the sensor are feeding back info to the ECU. Also imagne you get into your car at night, mount your PDA on your dash board and you can see a million and one displays of graphs. Very cool la....

But thats besides the point. its a good tool to see how your mods are affecting the car.

Things like this

www.autotap.com
www.obdmeter.com
http://obddiagnostics.com
www.pocketlogger.com
www.starrperformance.com.au

Rather interesting area. Especially if your already into mods, then you can actually see the impact your car is making with mods you have done.
Radiator Fan efficiency, boost rate etc etc etc

OBD II to an ECU is a standard, especially in the US government legislated that On-Board diagnostics needed to be implemented across all cars sold after year 2000. It required that a single type of diagnostics socket be used and certain software protocol standards were also observed.



There are 4 software ways in communication protocols, each have different pin placements & different formats on the socket. If you are skilled enough to open for generic scan tools and also be fully compliant the internal software to match the protocol being used; then this will potentially allow you to read out engine operating parameters, fault codes or change data – Whether the car is a GM, Chevrolet, Nissan, Toyota or any else. Which can act as a real on-board analyzer or a programmable ECU.
