Learn to use Dimsport Race EVO as a professional calibration environment for diesel ECU files. This three-day course builds the map-reading skills and disciplined editing habits needed for reliable file development.

Suitable for new entrants with diesel engine knowledge and Dimsport users who want to develop their own calibration files.

What you will learn

Learn through practical ECU-file exercises, supported by explanations of what each map controls, how related maps interact and how to assess the result.

Day-by-day course programme

Day 1: Race EVO projects and diesel map recognition

• Learn the Race EVO workspace, project setup and file comparison tools.
• Explore how map definitions, axes and calibration values are displayed.
• Locate torque requests, fuel quantity, rail pressure and boost maps.
• Understand ECU software-version matching and revision control.

Day 2: Diesel tuning strategy

• Investigate injection timing, duration and rail pressure calibration.
• Understand torque limits, smoke limitation, turbo control and protections.
• Make supervised Stage 1 changes across related map groups.
• Review why inconsistent edits create driveability or reliability issues.

Day 3: Complete diesel calibration workflow

• Develop and review a diesel exercise file.
• Discuss checksum and ECU read/write handling.
• Interpret diagnostic and logging examples and define required vehicle testing.
• Document final changes and prepare a professional workflow checklist.

ECU platforms and practical files

Bosch EDC17 and MD1 are relevant diesel study examples, subject to the available Race EVO projects; exact 2027 ECU files are unconfirmed.

Who should attend?

Suitable for new entrants with diesel engine knowledge and Dimsport users who want to develop their own calibration files.

What you will take away

• A clearer, repeatable method for analysing ECU calibration files.
• Practical experience of the software and the engine strategies it controls.
• Understanding of the checks needed before a file is used on a customer vehicle.
• Better judgement when developing calibration changes independently.
