V1 HP Tuner (What do I need)

[IDRVSLO]

I am totally new to this product. Came from a world of Cobb products. What should I be purchasing? Any advice or insight would be great!

You need the MPVI2, two credits, and downloading the VCM suite which includes the scanner and editor. The scanner is for data logging and the editor is for making changes to ECM. The two credits will allow you to do one vehicle. Cost will run you $400.

If you want to datalog a external AFR gauge you will need the pro version. I think im correct on that.

Cool, anyone tuning right now on our TCs?

 

[Briann1177]

You can't really tune the TCs on your own. They are configured to not produce more than 260 HP no matter what. The GM Stage 1 kit removes most of the learn down functionality. It consists of new MAP sensors and a flash.

You cant tune TCs with HP Tuners??? Uhhhh what?

 

[Briann1177]

You can tweak things. I was referring to performance tunes. I wasn't sure what you meant. I had to tune my air flow because my fuel trims were AFU with the new intake.

I also disabled the evap and secondary O2 sensor codes. No CEL for me. You'll be able to do the same.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Nice, yeah that will be the very first thing I do....gotta are if a real CEL pops up. Also want to put some limits back into 1st.

What is CEL? I caught most of the jargon, but CEL is new to me.

Tuning the Bosch E69 (TC) is entirely possible, but it is an entirely different system than the Delphi ECM on the SC cars, and much more complex. There are something like 600 different fuel maps. HP Tuners has come a long way with the E69 but there are still comperably more limitations; ie: CEL cannot be deactivated for some codes, VATS cannot be deactivated ect.

RichRich got a canned tune from zzp for his TC and mentioned it was a very noticeable improvement. With the stage 1 map sensors and Opal injectors, I was told to expect just under 300 hp. I’d also recommend detuning 1st gear for drivability.

HP Tuners has a newer version out of their programmer. It is my understanding that the pro version is not available yet.
