I would like to take a moment and welcome HP Tuners as Supporting Vendors on CobaltSS.net. I hear they have some sort of software LSJ owners will want wink wink

Welcome guys

Sweet fancy Moses....

 

And the lord shineth down and sayeth...take thyne hptuners software...and tuneth thye car...for it is all that and bag of potato chips

 

Hi guys,

Chris here from HP Tuners, glad to be aboard and looking forward to seeing some results when we release the software!

Cheers,

Chris...

 

How does it actually work? We modify the calibration ourselves?

 

Your presence is greatly welcomed. I am sure you will be getting lots of questions.

 

Yes, you read the calibration from your PCM, then are able to edit various things. When you're done you write the changes back again. The VCM Suite software also includes scanning capability that allows you to read engine parameters and DTC's to assist the tuning process.

Chris...

 

Quick question, is your software Mac compatible? I would assume not but figured I would ask. Just bought a new Powerbook :\ If not guess I will upgrading to a Macbook and booting with windows, lol.

 

No it's windows only at this time.

 

any plans on a 2.2 version?

 

A Pa-Pa-Pa-Powerbook

 

Hush Hush, better than that POS compaq of yours (j/k) What's funny is Dave said the samething about my pbook when he used it :/

Are you by chance referring to that story about the P-P-P-Powerbook scam on eBay?

 

stick to the topic, no mac bashing/conversation start another thread in the lounge for that guys

 

Tuning LSJ finally is hear. Will you guys be coming up with some base line settings for some of the pulley sizes, intakes, exhausts and injectors? I am new to tuning so I will need some help. Do you suggest getting a wide band O2 sensor or any other sensors to help in the tuning?

I went through you site briefly and did not see anything specific to the LSJ. Will you be updating that when you release it.

Anyway I would like to thank you guys for cumming up with this new tuning software. From what I saw on the Web it looks grate.

 

$400 Compaq FTW!!!!

And the ebay scam is exactly what i was referring to LMAO

 

Lmao, I remember reading that ages ago, was like a 20 page PDF.

Anywho back on subject, I would also like to know if you guys offer any type of pre-configured settings for people that are new to tuning, depending on pulley size, iinjectors and what not. I have no idea how to use something like this :/

Also, IIRC the software is in beta 2 for the LSJ? About what time would a public release be? Also for about what price?

 

We don't offer tunes as part of our software, we leave that up to the users, tunershops and mailorder tuners that use our software.

I would highly recommend getting a wideband O2 sensor for tuning along with our MPVI Pro interface that lets you log the wideband data right alongside the vehicles OBD2 data. For boosted applications it is especially important to know you are not running lean.

Our forum has a 4/5/6 cyl tuning section at the moment, if we see demand for a seperate forum for the 4cyl's or specifically LSJ's then we can do that.

Chris...

 

I think it be safe to go ahead and do so.

 

It's great to have you guys aboard, I think I speak for all of us when I say we greatly appreciate all your time and contribution to the Cobalt community.

While I myself am pretty cluless when it comes to tuning (although I'm slowly, slowly learning lol), I really hope tuner shops will take advantage of the software and start making custom mail order tunes available.

 

will i be able to use my palm to adjust on the go, lol, so say i wanna adjusts tuff on the fly at the track,

 

That is what a cheapy ebay laptop is for.

 

So what will it come with? The software and cable to connect?

 

just wondering if you have any estimation on a price for this? sounds good

 

Its 499 for the base package with 8 credits.
