Automation and safety for real ECU tuning workflows.

FlowECU sits beside your existing tools (WinOLS, map packs, CSV, BIN/HEX) and automates the boring, repetitive part — while keeping every change transparent and tied to real map data.

Windows only · Designed to work with WinOLS projects/map packs, CSV/A2L, and BIN/HEX files.

What FlowECU does for you

Works with your WinOLS projects

Keep using WinOLS (or your own definition workflow) to build map packs. FlowECU reads your map data (CSV/A2L/JSON etc.) and applies tuned values to the correct addresses in the BIN — no guessing, no auto-offset hunting.

Alias-driven map roles

Maps are grouped by role (boost target, lambda, torque limit, ignition, etc.) using a language-aware alias system. Different naming styles or languages can still be treated as the same role when you apply a stage preset.

Safe, selective patching

Only maps that match known aliases are modified. Hardware/Software IDs are checked before patching so you don’t accidentally apply a tune to the wrong ECU. Anything that doesn’t match is left untouched and can be logged for review.

Stage presets & custom tweaks

Apply Stage 1/2/3 presets or your own custom options for boost, torque, fuel, and timing. You choose the strategy; FlowECU does the repetitive math and keeps it consistent across files.

Transparent change logs

Every tune generates a human-readable change log grouped by map. Quickly review what changed, where it changed, and by how much — handy for shops, customers, or revisiting a file months later.

Built for tuning shops

Trial gating, machine-bound yearly licenses, and straightforward inputs. No always-online requirement, no cloud lock-in. You keep using your flashing tools and workflow — FlowECU just takes care of the repetitive, error-prone parts.

What FlowECU is

An automation and safety layer for map-based tuning. It expects real map data from WinOLS/map packs/CSV and applies structured logic on top to make your stages and strategies repeatable.

What FlowECU is not

It’s not a flash tool, not a 2D/3D editor like WinOLS, and it doesn’t auto-discover maps in a raw BIN. You still define the maps; FlowECU makes repeatable, safe changes across those maps.

How it fits into your workflow

  1. Build your project in WinOLS (or another definition workflow).
    Export CSV/A2L/JSON map data and the original BIN/HEX.
  2. Import into FlowECU.
    FlowECU groups your maps by role automatically.
  3. Select your strategy.
    Choose Stage 1–3 or your own custom adjustments.
  4. Generate tuned BIN + change log.
    FlowECU applies the tuning safely using your map pack.
  5. Flash with your normal tools.

The free trial lets you test this process on your own projects.
