Magicmotorsport, in collaboration with Viezu Technologies and the Viezu Technical Academy (VTA), present a specialist in-person diesel ECU tuning course focused on the combined use of WinOLS and StageX.

This course demonstrates how StageX can provide user-friendly starting points and intelligent validation tools, making diesel ECU tuning faster, safer, and more efficient when working within WinOLS.

For tuners based in the USA, this is a rare opportunity to receive hands-on WinOLS and StageX diesel training from leading European calibration experts, alongside the technical team from Magicmotorsport.

Software Focus: WinOLS & StageX

Practical Training: Hands-on workshop sessions including Dynomag HUB in Magicmotorsport’s fully equipped facility.

Lead Trainer: Simon White – UK-based professional tuner and tuning trainer, Technical Director & Managing Director, Viezu Technologies. Real-world, expert-led training from experienced calibrators.

Course Overview

This intensive 3-day classroom and workshop course is designed to take tuners from basic map editing to confident, professional-level diesel ECU calibration using WinOLS, supported by StageX map intelligence and workflow tools.

Training is delivered through tutor-led presentations combined with structured, hands-on exercises. The course focuses on real-world diesel ECU strategies, safe tuning practices, and repeatable professional workflows.

Group sizes are kept small to ensure individual support. Participants are encouraged to contact the lead trainer in advance to discuss specific vehicles, ECUs, or training goals so these can be incorporated into the course examples.

Detailed Course Structure

Day 1 – Diesel Strategies, ECU Structure & Map Identification

Topics covered:

How diesel ECUs make decisions:

Torque → Fuel → Boost → Rail Pressure → Smoke → Protections

ECU family strategies: EDC16, EDC17, Delphi, Siemens

Understanding ECU structure and WinOLS project organisation Core diesel map identification using StageX and manual verification, Building clean, structured mappacks, Limiter interactions and dependencies Importing and adapting calibration data using WinOLS Compare & Import tools.

Day 2 – Boost, Rail Pressure, Torque Management & Driveability

Focus: Safe and effective diesel tuning on stock hardware

Topics covered:

• Boost control strategies (VNT & Wastegate)
• Rail pressure targets and protection mechanisms
• Torque limiters, IQ structure, and torque modelling
• Smoke limiters and air-fuel balancing
• Pedal response and driveability optimisation
• Through guided workshop tasks, participants will produce balanced calibrations that improve performance while maintaining smooth driveability and controlled emissions behaviour.

Day 3 – Full Calibration Workflow & Practical Refinement

Topics covered:

• Complete calibration workflow from stock file to finished tune
• Project planning and full mappack completion
• Integrating database calibrations into new software versions
• StageX-supported validation and map coverage checks
• Iterative refinement (Version 1 → Version 2) using example dyno and log data
• Exporting a fully documented, client-ready calibration file

By the end of Day 3, participants will have built a complete diesel ECU tune using industry-standard professional processes.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand and navigate complex diesel ECU strategies
• Identify, verify, and structure essential diesel maps in WinOLS
• Use StageX to accelerate and validate map discovery
• Build professional-quality mappacks and organised project structures
• Safely tune torque, boost, rail pressure, fuelling, and smoke limiters
• Import and adapt database calibrations across software versions
• Produce clean, documented, client-ready calibration files

Who This Course Is For

This course is ideal for existing tuners looking to advance from basic to intermediate diesel calibration, including those who:

• Already use WinOLS at a beginner level
• Can identify basic maps but want full ECU strategy understanding
• Want structured, safe diesel tuning workflows
• Wish to integrate StageX into daily file development
• Are moving from simple map editing to true calibration-based tuning
• Need a deeper understanding of torque-based diesel systems

Perfect for:

• ECU remapping businesses
• Workshop technicians entering ECU tuning
• File writers developing professional calibration skills
• Tuners transitioning from petrol/gasoline to diesel
• Anyone building reliable in-house diesel calibration files

Prerequisites & Requirements

Participants must bring:

• A laptop computer
• Genuine, up-to-date EVC WinOLS software
• StageX software installed and fully operational
