If you haven't ordered EFILive what are you waiting for? This is the most awesome thing I have ever used. Being able to scan your vehicle, reset codes, etc, and custom tune is incredible. The wife is already complaining about the "freeware";) I got in the mail (she'll never know). Why are you spending all of this time on the computer, and do you have to keep running in and out of the house, driving up and down the street?

Unfortunately it's snowing pretty good so no testing tonight.:( Thanks EFILive for all of the fun.

Dave

You said it Dave,

Why spend that kind of money on a generic, off the shelf tuner when you can customize it to your liking.

Then spend another $2000+ on a Tech II so you can only data log one thing at a time.

This is being overlooked because nobody thinks they themselves can write their own tune with it, well they can !!!

I have been playing around with it since Sunday and already figured out a bunch of stuff.

When you get that tranny done I'll send you something that Trippin and I are running right now that I just wrote that will make what I already sent you already feel like an economy tune.........:eek:

Trippin data-logged it and at WOT throttle it maintains adequate rail psi and even from a 70 to 120 mph blast he said it pulled really strong the whole way and was smooth.

I got your e-mail, maybe I'll send you the next level........:cool:

Great stuff guys, glad you are enjoying tinkering with your tunes yourselves. It's not as scary as many might imagine.

And how good is it seeing all that logged data to ponder over after a run........honey, just going out down the street for a minute....again ;)

Ross

"Honey, you need more groceries? I know I just got them but I think the bread was mashed and the milk was shaken. I'll go get more. Be back in 30 seconds, again."

Is there any plan to have a section in in the forum for sharing tunes???? As for making sure the tunes are valid (no destructive), maybe a mod can review the tune before allowing it to be posted... Just a thought.

We've discussed but haven't made a decision yet on a subforum for sharing tunes. Currently they'll need to be shared in this main forum. The staff will not be able to review and/or comment on the tunes officially. Tunes will be used at the users own risk. We would hope that malicious tunes don't show up and if they do they will quickly be discovered and reported at which point we'll remove them from the forums. Aside from this we won't be able to moderate tunes shared.

I guess I've got to by a laptop now. Any suggestions? I would like to stay under $500.00 if that's possible. Pretty much would just be using it for tuning.

does it come with everything needed to hook up, is there a pamplet that can get sent out to a person with more about the system? What are some numbers that you tuners have been getting out of it(you can just pm the numbers if you would like) compaired to the other boxes and programs that are available to the public. sorry so many q's just trying to figure it out.

I got an HP at Walmart with wireless/AMD 2800 chip/ect for $378.00

The EFI-Live comes with everything you need.

I am more than happy to help any member and share some tunes.

I have sent tunes to two members already and I have been having a blast with this.

It will take some trial and error but I have figured out a lot in a short amount of time.

Since I have a built tranny I have no idea if what I am writing will destroy a stock transmission, I suspect from how quickly the boost climbs and the fact that it pulls like a train that it would set a few 0700 codes real quick.

Dave Lewis has one of the tunes I wrote and likes it alot, he has a stock tranny, for now, as soon as he steps up and get's his Suncoast I'll send him what Trippin and I are running.........

As Chad said, all this HP/TQ enhancing stuff is use at your own risk, if I send you something and it limps your stock tranny you were warned..........:eek:

how do these's tune compare to the EXTREME?

this is sweet....its just like the GP Control pc stuff for the cannondale dirtbikes/quads when they were around..

you could mess w/ fueling,throttle response,rev limiter and such

can you do that w/ this?remove speed limit/rev limiter?

Yes the tune GMC-2002-Dmax sent me is fun, fun , fun, fun. Pulls like crazy. I'm going to play a lot this weekend since it's supposed to warm up a little. For people that are on the fence, fall over and do it. You will not reget it. Just the scan feature is worth it alone.

Tony,

Do you have a ball park sotp figure on the HP your tune is putting out?? Does it smoke a lot?? I love smoke.

Does this recalibrate the speedo for larger tires?
Does it allow you to remove the speedo limiter too?
Can you save different configs (like factory to take it back to the stealer, and your "perfect tune" for when you get it back from the stealer)?

can you adjust the fueling to make it smoke a lot, even if you arent putting out insane power??

What if you have an edge w/ attitude hooked up, can you still keep that? what sort of effect will it have on the program?

unhook the turbo ):h

What if you have an edge w/ attitude hooked up, can you still keep that? what sort of effect will it have on the program?

You could still run with the Edge, but you would probably then limit yourself as to how much you could alter the tables in the ECM without pushing it too far.

Will it do everything that a Tech II will do :confused: Reset taps and command gears and such......:o:

I ran the tune with the Edge at 0 but the Edge still adds timing. I can tell you that it pulls way harder than the Edge set on 5/5, but that is with the extra timing. I haven't tried it without the Edge (waiting on new gauge install, it's to cold now)

Right now, no, but, we have full override controls for the LS1/4L60E, Duramax/Allison will be done very soon.

If i buy now.......what is it going to cost me to upgrade when the new software comes out? Would it be better to wait untill its complete.

Yes to all your questions

I'm not sure about your question.
Upgrade to LLY? Free.

Tripp....I meant the upgrades for the Trans control that they are developing now for the Allison

Tony,

I am not about to quote HP/TQ when I have not dyno'd the tunes yet.

If Dave says his SOTP meter tells him it's stronger then a 5/5 OJ then that is his opinion of it......;) .........I will tell you all that that tune pales in comparision to the stuff I have wrote, Dave got that tune because he has a stock transmission.........

I have one that Trippin and I are running right now would definately make very short work of the stock tranny..........:eek:

Thanks Tony

I will be ordering tonight from Trippin. My gift to myself I guess. I have no tuning skills what so ever so I will prolly be begging for you all's help.

Trippin,

Just ordered EFI Live from ya!!!!!! I cant wait for it to get here.

Tripp....I meant the upgrades for the Trans control that they are developing now for the Allison

All software upgrades/enhancments are free, when the controls get included, just download and away you go.

Cheers,
Ross

Thanx Ross Looks to be a sweet deal there

Trippin,

You have a PM with a tracking #. :D

(waiting on new gauge install, it's to cold now)

There's a shop that's close to 80* in my backyard.

Very temptinig.

Trip or Tony; Please e-mail to me the Duramax file for the EFIlive ( mlucas3@columbus.rr.com ) I don't care if it is a stock one or a modified one, I just one to see how it looks.

I don't have the EFIlive, just the software. I would like to get to know this stuff before buying, because knowing myself I would probably screw something up if I jumped right into it.

Thanks!

Can't wait to see some dyno numbers from you guys' custom tunes!!! :ro)

Sounds good to me, id probably just run the edge on 0 and use it to monitor slippage and whathaveyou.

[quote=epitaph;830785]can you adjust the fueling to make it smoke a lot, even if you arent putting out insane power??quote]

No one really answered that question

You've got mail!

Thanks young grasshopper!

This may not be the proper place for this, here goes none the less!

Is there any plans to have software in EFIlive so it can do neat stuff like the G-Tech does? Such as 0-60 mph, reaction time, 330', 1,000', 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, horsepower, and torque.

With the LLY they say that you can control the vains in the turbo so I would think that you could fuel it real hard, but limit the turbo's boost thus making huge EGTs and clouds of smoke?? I have nothing to back this statment up....I dont know if it would work or not. More or less just thinking out loud.

Yes, you could write a smoke only tune relatively easily.

Actually I have submitted a request for just such a thing. There is some debate on what wheel sensors etc to monitor and how tire spin would affect the accuracy of the readings. Still I feel it would be a good feature to have. They are considering my request. That's the long answer......

The short answer is "maybe." :D

Thanks Guy; you have been very helpful today!

I was messing around with the software this afternoon, and it has some very neat programming features. You can even adjust the temp that the AC comes on, and goes off. Pretty cool stuff!

I think we definitely need Allison control first!!!!:cool:

Hey Trippin...I finally raised the funds I need today for the EFILive purchase...I'm just hanging tight until I can find out how well the LLY version works.

(Or maybe my compulsive side will get the best of me, and I'll order it tomorrow...how long would it take to ship to IL?):eek:

Just order it.........:rolleyes:

The LLY stuff is going to be just as good as the LB7 stuff has been........:ro)

By the time you get it it might be out of BETA and officially released, then you can start playing immediately, otherwise if you wait until they release it you'll be wishing you already had it.

:cool:

The only concern I have is that I am leaving home for a week next Friday, and I don't want to leave it sit on the porch for however long. That's why I was wondering how long it would take if I order tomorrow.:blahblah:

The suspense is killing me... I am not going to make it till Friday. If I have the Com version can I upload 03 specs in my 01 truck..essentially taking care of the speed limiter problem??

I could send it overnight for an extra $10.00. ;)

I'm supposed to get with an 01 this weekend to test the speed limiter. You will have your software before that. Download your "stock" tune and send it to me, I'll make the changes to the 01 tables and send it back to you in a matter of minutes. :D

:) How is that for customer service.:ro)

Sounds SLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Should be instantanous, why minutes?

Sounds SLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

The Beta testers have noticed there is more to upping a rev limit or speed limit to actually get past those limiter points, you can't go faster than 100MPH if there is no fuel to do so........

soooooo.....Jeff...buddy :) Any chance on bringing that north with you? I know you only have one d-max truck and seeing as you get 2 PCM licences..:grd: I may have to check it out and order my own.

Well it won't do either of us any good until the LLY comes out of Beta testing. I am going to tune Danny's new truck for my Christmas present to him (he just got a '99 Sierra Z-71 w/5.3L)

I'd be happy to tune yours though (when we can), you just gotta pick up the cost of another license. I'll bring it up with me when we meet up at Christmas, and you can play with it a bit if you want.

How do you get it to data log??
When I press the start button the light blinks on then goes off?? This is the only thing I am having trouble have at this time.

Sounds like you are trying to log directly into the hardware without programming the PID's into it?.
Suggest you post for help over on the EFILive forum.

Any update on getting rid of the speed limiter on an 01?

Also, is this program "vin locked"? I have an 01 LB7 and an 05 LLY as my company fleet. Will one system cover both these trucks?

One system will indeed cover both trucks.
As far as the speed limiter goes on an 01, so far the best I have experienced is loading a 2002 operating system into an 2001 truck and getting rid of it that way.

Wow. That is creative. I think this thing is on my list now. Too cool to pass up.

Not my idea originally. I heard about it and tried it. :D

I thought one of our Beta testers did get the limiter problem fixed on the 2001 using the 2001 program. Going to 2002 will also do it!.

Cheers,
Ross

No bad effects on the 2002 OS running in the 2001 trucks? I guess these years were basically the same hardware or close enough.

Trippin is in a Class of Acts of the highest in my books. I just got my EFIlive software from him today with 5 Star service all the way. Now that I have it I don't know where to begin....
Thanks,

I have programmed a 2003 ECM with my 2002 OS and sent it to a fellow member with a 2001 truck and even flashed his 2001 VIN# into the 2002 OS and all works fine.

The 2001 OS is OK, but the 2002 is much better for what he wanted to do.

Nice to know. Thanks.
