Yes I have tuned other cars.

His car is running healthy. A little too conservative if you ask me though. He can be running a lot more torque around 3K-4K rpm.

really... i might take you up on that some day then if youre up for it. i tried the whole enginuity logging and could not figure it out. i have a mac and i think there is no way to go about this now. wish i knew what i was doing though hahaha.

ryan has some perrin EL's coming so the tune could be pushed once those are in.

Uhhh....
When using StreetTUNER for datalogging or realtime tuning you don't need to use the PORT. You still need an ECU that is married to an AP with the ST upgrade.
The tacrix cable can be used in place of the AP cable for this operation (laptop to ECU).
To flash a basemap you would still need the AP+AP cable.

Their are open source tools that do most of the same ECU edits that wouldn't require the use of an AP.

I have a piggy back question on this. First off I am protuned w/a Cobb APv2.

I want to data log my car and do not have a Tatrix cable. Can I use my AP USB cable to plug into my laptop and log that way using RomRaider? Again, I only want to Datalog.. I do not want to change any values.

If not I will just order a Tatrix. Unless there is something I am missing. I am fairly uneducated when it comes to this stuff.

er... um..

I just found this on the RomRaider site.

Q: Can I use an Accessport, DeltaDash cable or other OBD-II cable instead of the OpenPort cable to read/flash my ECU?

No, these cables will not work for reading or flashing. There is the possibility, however, that some cables may work for logging (if the proper drivers are available). Otherwise, for reading and flashing ROMs, the OpenPort (Tactrix) cable is required.

And after a bit more searching, I found this. Im going to try it later today.

Great find regarding the drivers! I got ecuExplorer working with Vista. Let me know if you need help.

Been using it for the last 2 weeks. Works great for free software and the use of the AP cable.
