Each ECU has to be completely reverse engineered to assure hardware AND software compatibility. For example, even though the wastegate solenoid is connected to pin 111 on both the S13 SR20DET and GTiR SR20DET ECUs, that output is controlled internally by different I/O ports. There is a lot more to it than just figuring out where tables are in the firmware. You must also understand what values are used to index into the tables, how big the tables are, how the values in the tables are used, etc. This takes a lot of time and I have managed to complete 15 of them.

There are many items in a bin file, however the "we have only scratched the surface.." statement is untrue. With TunerCode, I have identified and documented every tunable constant, table, and flag in the bin, including logging of all pertinent calculated values.

TunerCode includes knock control AND knock count and timing retard data logging. The new version for the NEMU board includes the ability to switch maps based on knock detection, which is well beyond OEM capability.

Cozzm0_AU is in no way connected with TunerCode/NEMU development and is hardly in a position to make this statement.

As we all know, knock at high load will be very dangerous and likely do damage anyways, which would usually be outside of the knock flagged area.
As we all know, there are many examples of faulty advice given by people who do not understand the operation of the OEM ECU.
