Learning to tune.... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 07-02-2014

just bought a Moates ALDU1 going to start doing some data logging, once I understand that I will progressively moving towards "tuning". Thought I would post up the progress of what I learn and what I have to buy to along the way.

This is my first purchase, once I get it will add software, etc

Is there interest in this type of thread?

Absolutely interested here Mr G...

I want to know how to WRITE TO, not just READ FROM ECM...

Mine works great for reading, but I'm interested in fixing this problem that Marc says ALL LT5's have, at 1.6% to 2.4% Throttle Opening........................

Moates should have all the parts to "burn" calibrations onto chips for install into the ECM.

He sells reading/writing equipement(read/write the chips), in addition to the datalogging equipement that reads the sensor data that is pictured above.

John at Tunercat sells the chip reading/burning equipment for $215. I deal with John, his support is excellent. If you need a parameter added to the Vehicle Definition Files(VDF's) he will do so. http://www.tunercat.com/cables/OBD1kit.html

Tuning threads are always cool.

I will buy the parts as I progress. I spoke with a rep at moates and discussed what I need. I think one of the most confusing things about tuning is that you get everything thrown at you at once, so many options and choices....so I will start with basics and work my way up.

Sounds like a good start and plan Lee. I would like to do the same some day but too busy right now. I will follow your posts with interest.

Picked up a used Innovate wideband lm1; older model.....but I think it will work and price was right! Maybe one of the tuning heavyweights can comment????

Definitely interested. I purchased everything to do the same about a year ago. Unfortunately I got intimidated by it pretty quick. I wish there was a way to get it done via remote admin or something similar.

I have an LC1 that is brand new in the box, you can daisy chain the LC1 with LM1 for both sides

As for Tuning.. I have been happy with Tunercat and Also been using Tuner Pro. I have a ADX (Datalogging) configuration for the 1990 ZR-1 that works well. I use it with my ALDLDroid datalogger

Also I have the VETuner that works well for the VE Tables at part throttle.. but I have yet to release it, I made a new build of the application but I am not sure Dominic has been able to check it out

I really need to start tuning more.. I am planning on incorporating the Moates Burn1/2, Ostrich and APU1 to my VE tuner at some point..

Then if I get really gutsy I can add ALDL, it takes time that is short for me at the moment.. but I can think big

Jeff,

Actually used new build of VETuner for my latest calibration. Seems to work fine.
Based on the net changes, pretty well done w VE changes at this point. Just doing some fine tuning right now on some other points.

Not sure if it is even possible with the GM ecm's, but I wish the TunerProRT hit-tracing feature was functional. I would love to see what areas on certain tables are being called on during any given load situation.
