Prerequisite

First you need to install TunerStudio and then connect your epicEFI controller via USB.

TunerStudio has several versions that you can pick from, the gratis version being Lite!. While it can be used to tune and start the car without any problems, many essential troubleshooting tools such as the Tooth Logger are not available.

It is strongly recommended to obtain a licensed version of TunerStudio.

Next, you need to download the firmware and flash your controller if it did not arrive pre-loaded with the firmware.

Creating the project

TunerStudio stores the ECU configuration and the specific controller settings in Projects. Each project is a directory in the user documents folder and stores all the project information in a single folder.
