Are there any threads you would recommend reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll read some stickies and see how I go playing with the demo software. Ordered the pro cable on Friday just need to sort out a wideband.Cheers for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 09/08/15 03:57 AM Author Share Posted 09/08/15 03:57 AM Does anyone have any XR6T tunes for HP tuners I could load up to have a look at in the demo software? There are lots of v8 files that come with it but I'd like to see the boost maps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 09/08/15 07:19 AM Author Share Posted 09/08/15 07:19 AM I found a few, it seems the options are quite different between ECUs, can you "upgrade" your PCM from that of another compatible car to allow the addition of other tables etc? Eg implementing your own "lean cruise" etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 7m 9d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/15 01:18 AM Share Posted 10/08/15 01:18 AM In regards to the wideband, I would recommend one with a gauge display. This way you can observe the airfuel ratios of the stock tune in normal day to day driving and understand more of where they are meant to be once you start playing with numbers.The innovate has two outputs so you have one for the dash display and one for the laptop. I don't know much about others.The other thing I would recommend is an external boost controller. Ralphy has a turbosmart one and its just alot easier to adjust boost by pressing buttons on the fly.If you need a tune you can pop me an email. Once you get your HP Tuner Login there a tunes on the Tune Repository that you will get access to.As a general rule you should match Ford tune strategys to the vehicle they came out of.. Each tune has a what is called a strategy number. Ford is always making little changes to the software and tunes during production. So you cant just go throwing in a tune from another vehicle and expect it to work.For example I tried a F6 tune in my G6et. The engine ran fine but the transmission would not go out of first gear. A tuner that originally tuned my car put a tune from another FG into my car and it caused intermittent stalling and unusual gear changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 10/08/15 07:03 AM Author Share Posted 10/08/15 07:03 AM What is the reason narrowband simulation is a bad thing? Is it hard to calibrate them to accurately replicate a narrowband?Also if I get a second bung welded in my dump pipe should I be removing the sensor when I'm not using it, eg do they wear out faster than a narrowband?

Basically useless under wot situations. The pcm will still need the feedback from the factory sensor under normal driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
