CHALLENGER7 ECU SOFTWARE
Here is the simple and secure method of update of your ECU with a new software version.
Download Chal7_ENU-1.2.0.0.zip
WARNING LEVEL : NORMAL
NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Possibility of using Innovate wideband Lambda modules:
• but these must be programmed specifically to be adapted to Sybele ECUs.
• See new document 'Challenger7 Use of the Lambda sensor - V110'.
Possibility of manually modifying the mini-maxi calibration of motorized throttles:
• In case the throttle does not have minimum or maximum mechanical stops, the electric motor exceeds the normal min and max positions.
• When exceeding the normal maximum opening, the throttle gears are forced and the teeth of the plastic gear wear and destroy over time.
•See new document 'Challenger7 Fly by wire - V110'.
Intake pressure filtering adjustment (V240):
• This filtering removes pressure instabilities in the intake manifold.
• The intake pressure filtering adjustment is accessible even without a professional license.
Very important: See the document 'Pressure/rpm Atmo Turbo and bang-bang' which gives a very detailed explanation of how to filter (averaging) the intake pressure to avoid instabilities and what the problems are if this is not done correctly.
Challenger7 Tunewares:
• System V110 (24th 05/2022)
• Throttle/RPM: V120 (new - 26th 10/2023)

• Challenger7 options installation: V1.10 - sequential gearboxes, fly by wire, air electrovalves, bang-bang ... (24th 05/2022)
• The document 'Operations for the Challenger4+ replacement' that you will find in the software pack documentation gives step by step in detail the way to replace a Challenger4+ by the Challenger7.
Nota:
• Does not contain Winjall software. Winjall must first be downloaded and installed apart.
• Does not contain the sensors convertion maps nor the actuators command maps. These maps have to be downloaded and installed apart with the pack SensAct.
LAST SECURITY CRITICAL MODIFICATION DONE
Not needed.
NEEDING Winjall V9.8.0.0 (see specific downloading)
V9.8.0.0 or later version of Winjall software must mandatory have been installed first.

In Windows 7 and latter versions, execute 'Start/Parameters/Configuration/Programs and features'.
In the software list, select Challenger7 then 'Uninstall'. Follow uninstall instructions.
• With the explorer, double click on the downloaded software pack .zip file, then double click on Setup. At the question on files extraction, answer 'Extract All'.
• If the installation does not automatically start: in the new directory created by the extraction, double click on Setup (application).
