Gasoline ECU Tuning using EVC WinOLS – Johannesburg, South Africa

Learn Professional WinOLS Workflows for Gasoline ECUs from Europe’s Leading Calibration Specialists

WinOLS is software used by professional ECU calibration engineers around the world. Learning to use it effectively requires more than knowing where the maps are.

The EVC-Certified Gasoline ECU Tuning course has been developed by the engineers at VIEZU Technologies to teach the structured processes behind professional ECU calibration. Delivered by Simon White, Technical Director of VIEZU Technologies and an EVC-Certified WinOLS Trainer, this intensive three-day course combines technical understanding with practical application.

You will learn how gasoline ECUs are structured, how calibration strategies work and how to build clean, organised WinOLS projects using professional workflows.

This is an opportunity to access in-person WinOLS gasoline tuning training from VIEZU Technical Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The course is suitable if you are moving from another tuning platform, developing your ECU file-writing skills, or starting your WinOLS journey. Training is delivered in small groups, giving you time to ask questions and get practical guidance throughout the course.

Your Learning Journey

Day One – Understanding the ECU and Building Your WinOLS Workflow

The first day focuses on how gasoline ECUs are structured and how they calculate engine operation.

Working with real ECU files, you will learn to identify map groups, recognise common patterns and create organised WinOLS projects.

You’ll cover:

• Gasoline ECU logic across major OEM platforms
• Understanding ECU structures and map organisation
• Identifying key gasoline map groups
• Using WinOLS patterns and search techniques
• Working with existing calibration files
• Building clean, organised WinOLS projects

By the end of day one you’ll be able to:

• Understand how gasoline ECUs calculate engine operation
• Identify the core maps used in naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines
• Navigate WinOLS efficiently
• Build structured projects using professional workflows

Day Two – Developing Safe and Effective Gasoline Calibrations

The second day focuses on calibration strategy.

You will explore how fuel, ignition timing, knock control and boost strategies work together. The focus is on understanding the reasoning behind calibration changes rather than simply changing values.

You’ll cover:

• Power enrichment strategies
• Fueling adjustments
• Octane-based ignition strategies
• Knock control logic
• Turbocharger calibration fundamentals
• Practical tuning techniques inside WinOLS

By the end of day two you’ll be able to:

• Understand how key gasoline calibration systems interact
• Apply a structured approach to ignition timing
• Develop turbocharged gasoline calibrations using a logical process
• Apply professional tuning techniques with greater confidence

Day Three – Completing Professional Calibration Projects

The final day brings the learning together.

You will work through complete WinOLS projects, from initial assessment through to final documentation.

You will also learn how calibration engineers organise, review and document their work. This helps you create projects that are clear, structured and repeatable.

You’ll cover:

• Complete calibration workflow
• Naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline projects
• Pre-calibration validation
• Final project review
• Documentation and version management
• Professional project organisation

By the end of day three you’ll be able to:

• Build complete gasoline calibration projects in WinOLS
• Produce clean, structured and well-documented files
• Apply a repeatable workflow to future projects
• Continue developing your own calibration skills with confidence

What You’ll Take Away

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

• Confidently navigate WinOLS and its core functionality
• Identify and understand key maps within gasoline ECUs
• Interpret OEM calibration strategies
• Build structured, professional WinOLS projects
• Develop logical gasoline ECU calibrations
• Apply workflows used by VIEZU Technologies calibration engineers
• Continue developing your own calibration skills with confidence

Who Should Attend?

This course is suitable for:

• Professional tuners moving from another tuning platform to WinOLS
• ECU file developers looking to strengthen their calibration knowledge
• Workshop owners bringing ECU calibration in-house
• Existing WinOLS users seeking a more structured workflow
• Anyone looking to build a professional foundation in gasoline ECU calibration

No previous WinOLS experience is required.

What You’ll Need
