Remap and Dyno Tuning Hima S7
🚩The Haima S7 debuted at the 2010 Auto China show as the Haima 7 and is being sold since July 2010 in China.
Haima S7 is a subsidiary of the FAW Group and this product currently offered with two following engine in the market:
1-Bosch ME7 with ECU Bosch , atmospheric engine with code HM484Q, 2000cc
2-Bosch ME17 with ECU Bosch, turbocharged model with code HM484Q-T, 1800cc
💬As mentioned above, naturally aspirated engine and turbocharged (T/C), are two types of engines in this car.
Because of the following problems existing in turbocharged engine, it is decided to dyno tuning of this model:
1- Knocking when turbocharger boosts
2- Engine temperature increasing at the time of wot
3- High lag of turbocharged engine
4- Inadequate acceleration and traction
5- High and frequently errors in reduction of catalyst efficiency in low operating conditions (P0420).
💬Remap of these two ECUs differs completely. Accordingly, compression ratio of these two engines should be considered and balance among spark advance, torque and fuel table. In other words, uniform acceleration established in any condition. In turbocharged engines remapping, special tables to turbocharging engine must be reviewed and turbo load must be divided evenly, in different cycles.
Before starting, first connect scanner to car, being assured of soundness of sensors and actuators and not existing trouble code.
As you can see in this picture, DTC P0420 appears. This error relates to reducing catalyst efficiency.
Although, mileage of this automobile equals to 10.000 km and its catalyst is flawless, low-quality material existing in the catalyst case causes this error.
Then, properly strap the car down and after set up the Dynojet, start to run.
As graph depicts, in the case of engine speed is up to about 5000 rpm, AFR is near to 14.7:1.
As previously described about appropriate AFR to turbocharged engine, is better these engines fed rich fuel when they are underload (WOT).
Considering such a very lean AFR on this engine by FAW Company probably relating to meet requirements of Euro 5 emission standards and low fuel consumption in this car.
For this reason, while engine of this car is warm, if accelerate, knock sound can be heard obviously. As previously pointed out, one of the reasons of engine knocking is lean AFR; Which this issue can be seriously dangerous if engine being turbo. Because of the fact that, besides of knock, this AFR made severely combustion temperature increases and this means increase of internal part like as piston, turbo, catalyst, etc.
Regarding dyno results, in next stage ECU of this car- which is Bosch ME17.8.8 type- read via OBD2 by combiLoader programmer.
We apply WinOLS software to remap this automobile. Different lookup table such as lambda, turbocharge, spark advance, etc. are identified and choice them.
💬For changing of tables it is decided to increase fuel at WOT situation or technically made AFR rich. As a result, besides of increasing in power and torque, due to more fuel feed in combustion chamber, combustion temperature descended and engine performs more safely.
Moreover above cases, since adjusting AFR on 13:1, engine knock completely resolved; consequently, prevent this destructive phenomenon.
Also, to maximize improvement, we work on engine torque, engine load and boost turbocharge tables.
The results of accurate revision can be seen on ECU tables and going maximum outcome on dyno graph.
💬Summary of the benefits of Hima S7 remap:
- Reduce turbo lag
- Increase in acceleration and torque up to 15%
- Increase engine power to 7 hp (atmospheric model) and 17 hp in turbo model
- Reduce of fuel consumption to 10%
- Improve pedal response and eliminates valve delay
- Solving of knock sound in middle cycle (in automatic model)
- Speed limiter removal
- Second O2 sensor removal or catalyst wear error if the catalyst is removed
- Gearbox update and speed up operation in gear shift

❓Frequently asked question:
- Does the remap cause turbocharged engine failure?
No, CaracalTech Company accomplish turbo boost to the controlled limit. As engine safety coefficients are observed. For this reason, there is no danger to this part. Do not forget, maintenance and regarding turbo details are the key measures to increase of its lifetime.
2. Does Hima S7 Remap have Tuning Stages?
Up to writing of this article, aftermarket parts to strengthen this engine have not been offered, thus it is not possible to claim aggressive stage.
3. Does remap invalidate the warranty?
As the remap is a software process and has no impact on the appearance of the car, therefore it does not account for revoking of warranty. But it is recommended that not mentioned about that to agency officials to not make an excuse them for evading from their commitments.
