How To Use HP Tuners!!! Editor and Scanner Basics!!!

okay what's up guys and girls welcome back to the channel so today what we're gonna do is we're gonna go over HP tuners so this is just gonna be a very broad basic overview of HP tuners the system how it works just to kind of help maybe help somebody if you're on the fence about getting it or not see if it's right for you show you some of the things that are in it without actually having to buy it and you can decide for yourself so if you're new to the channel this is one of the projects this is 2004 Nissan 350z with a 5-3 for my Silverado in it pretty much just a budget DIY swap built everything on it and slept the engine in there do have HP tuner setup on two computers here you don't need to do it on two different computers but HP tuners is a three part system you have your interface your cable here you have two options and MVP i'll you actually have a couple different options now i should mention that the MVP i ii just came out so you can't really buy the MVP i won pro or standard units anymore from HP tuners at this time in history you can still find them used people are still selling them as they're upgrading but the MVP i 2 is out now but i'm gonna be talking mostly about the MVP i won pro version because that's what i have the difference between the MVP i and MVP i pro is one you had this little connector box on the outside here and this will this has different inputs in it so you can hook up like a wideband for example and the pro version also has the ability to record so you don't have to scan with the computer so that's too cool differences with the MVP i pro but that does not mean that you can't like log a wideband without the MVP i pro there's a way to do it like you can tap into your EGR circuit or an air conditioning circuit and still get the signal installed on a wideband without it but it's just a little more dinking around but it's possible so one other thing to add before we get started i know i mentioned that there's two different versions the MVP i won and the MVP i too but the software is still pretty much the same they do make some updates and some changes to the software but they're not drastic there's some little things here and there that are different but i'm gonna be going through the VCM suite 4.0 software that i just downloaded off the website today onto this computer so we'll talk about that and as I go through it I'll mention some of the differences that are that I've noticed so far from like the 3.6 software that I was using before the other two parts that we have are the editor and we have the scanner so now let's go to the screen capture make it start to talk about the editor first okay so let's start out by looking at the HP tuners website see what they offer see what they have and maybe I'll get a little bit better understanding of what you can actually do with it so this is under the products section so there's a picture of the MVP I - there's the big difference it's a like a wireless version basically so some people don't know this but you HP tuners also has a track addict app in a race render feature so the track addict app is a free download you can download that on your phone or whatever I've used it a couple times it's pretty cool it'll track quarter-mile times it'll track g-forces and do a whole bunch of different stuff and it's kind of cool and fun to use and you can actually record and you can collect data and put it over a video and it's kind of what this race render will do also is you get the video and you can overlay all your data using this race render software and it'll be a video of your run with all of your relevant data or whatever you choose to put on it so that's pretty cool if you want to use something like that that you can find videos of people using this on youtube but i would say sloppy mechanic just some of the better videos because he has a lot of good data good information on there and you really get a good understanding of what the vehicles doin versus just driving around showing g-forces in the track so you can actually see some important stuff that would help you in your tuning and we got just a series of different hardware components and services they can do some modification to computers and some third-party options you have you know like wideband sensors but they also have tuning courses so tuning courses and a lot of stuff done by the tuning school so the tuning school also has a YouTube channel with a lot of pretty good stuff on there that's very good for somebody that's just starting out I know when I first started I spent a lot of time just watching tuning school videos and kind of helps you just cover the basics so merchandise is just gonna be like hats and shirts and but vehicles this is important that people ask a lot like what vehicles can I actually tune with this thing so they just recently came out with dodge program and there's a whole bunch of vehicles in this list that you can actually tune so kind of cool so you can go into here and like say Hummer you can see all the vehicles that you can tune with the MVP I won and the MVP I - so there's some in here that you can only tune with the MVP I - that are identified by the - I think there's some in the body so a naughty you can only tune Oddie vehicles with the MVP I to system so another thing that you'll see here is this credit system so HP tuners does use a credit system usually when you buy it you get eight credits and it's typically two credits to unlock a vehicle so when you unlock it and another question that's asked a lot is you have to use credits every single time that you make a change no you don't so this vehicle so like this vehicle for example a lot of the Chevy's and stuff - credits to unlock the computer unlimited so you can make unlimited changes for those two credits their credits are typically fifty dollars each but you can also unlock unlimited so you can unlock unlimited for that year you can unlock unlimited for that vehicle type there's a lot of different options that you can do but it's a little bit more expensive to do the unlimited of course but it'll give you a lot more options like if you wanted to start tuning for other people or whatever so here's also a list of what all the credit requirements are for the vehicles so just to clarify because the way I said it might have been kind of confusing so if you wanted to unlock like GM computers for example - credits will unlock one VIN number but you can make unlimited changes to that one VIN number for two credits now if you wanted to unlock that's where some of the other unlimited features come in like if you wanted to unlock unlimited VIN numbers for 2002 Silverado trucks that would be higher credit amount like six credits twelve credits but you would have unlimited VIN numbers like for a specific year so there's a couple different ways you could do it like you can unlock unlimited GM trucks you get on a lot of unlimited GM cars and you'd pay like 30 credits or something crazy but then you could basically doin anything just wanted to clarify what I meant by unlimited when I said that so they do have a download page like this is where I downloaded the the newest version today and some of the drivers for the old system new system drivers so you also have an account on here so you can upload like your serial number for your unit and your product key because when you get the system it'll come with a product key that you have to register so you've actually log on here create an account it'll save it on there with all your vehicles and everything they do also have what's called a - and repository on the website so you need to be logged in to use this feature now but this is basically a log of a bunch of different tunes and so if you lost a factory file you could go and type in your year make model engine whatever you wanted and you could find a tune file that you needed so another reason people may use this is for doing segment swapping for like changing transmission stuff like that but we can get into that later so just wanted to show you that this is there it's just a repository for a bunch of different files alright so here is what the face of the editor looks like right as you open it up so I'm actually outside right now in my daily driver vehicle it's a 2005 Escalade so I'm gonna turn put the key in and then we'll read the file and I'll show you what that looks like see just put the key in go to the accessory position and I already had a file open so what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna close this and now you can see that this little processor board thingy with the arrow on it that says read vehicle lit up so I'm just gonna go ahead and read the vehicle and this will come up and just click read so it's gonna do a read and tire there's a couple different options so this is gonna take three to four minutes to read this thing so while you're doing all the reading and the writing you'll want to make sure that your headlights are off your radios off your dome lights are off make sure you're not messing with the doors or the windows or anything like that you can't mess up the computers if you get a low voltage situation while you're doing the reading or writing you can brick the brick the computer and bit the computers basically junkets I believe it's a hardware change if you need to fix it so something physically needs to be changed on the board so essentially the computers junk vehicle information 2005 cadillac escalade then number hardware is a p 59 and it shows a Gen three v8 alright so after it's done reading its gonna give you the option to save the file so you can see up here I have 2005 Escalade stock tune so I just save the stock file and you can save the file without it being licensed you just can't make any changes to it so I have the stock file but I don't have the rights to modify it so then right away it's gonna give you the licensing options and you can look at go to no thanks and you can view the file or you can show licensing options but you would actually license it so you go to a show options and it says attention you do not have a license to perform the current action select the license you wish to activate so it'll give you the option to do not license or specific so if you click on specific it's showing its gonna cost you two credits and the other two are grayed out because I only have two credits left on here credits available two credits but if I did have enough credits it would let me click on unlimited 2005 Escalades for six credits or I could click on unlimited GM gen3 ls1 based v8 trucks for 30 credits so that's what I was explaining before you could unlock unlimited GM gen 3 trucks for 30 credits so if you wanted to do this you just click on specific okay and then it would license the file and you can go ahead and start making changes but I'm not gonna do that I'm gonna click do not license okay and I'm gonna keep my credits alright so let's go over this editor you got a bunch a whole bunch of buttons up at the top the very top line always shows you your file name and location so you can see what file you're on and I would encourage for you to always read or what I like to do especially if I'm coming out on a new day is to read the file read the current two and what's in it because I've had been in situations where I've made changes and it ended up being a different file that was in there like maybe you were looking at a different file you forgot it and or a tune from a different day and you forgot you were looking at the other one and you end up to making a change for the wrong reason and then everything's messed up you got to start over so it helps to read it or at least make sure that you're on the right - and the one that's actually loaded into the vehicle before you start making changes so you just have your basic tool bar up at the top file edit in your editor you have like VIN change wizard gear and tire change wizard those are pretty helpful tire change wizard Wizards pretty nice you can just go in and put in your new tire and gear ratio and then it automatically changes everything for you so that's pretty simple and calibration details and view change history so you can actually go in and look at what type of what type of system you're on right now and that'll be helpful if you want to see if you have like a two bar system or a three bar system in there it'll show all the stuff in here yeah like there's your operating system number and it'll show if you made operating system change and then again here are all the different segments underneath this operating system number so if you wanted to do a transmission segment swap under this operating system number you could take this segment and swap it in but your operating system number has to match compare file compare files are pretty cool so we'll go into the stock tune and we'll open a compare file and let's look at like let's compare 2004 Express to into an Escalade tune so let's go in we'll go engine air flow and primary ve and if you notice these some of these are greens so you got these little purple boxes and you got these little green boxes so these green boxes are anywhere that the tables are different this is the ve table for one tune this is the the escalade tune and then if we look over at this file here this is the express tune so you can see that they're different and you can kind of click back and forth and look at different different files and see how they are how they're different and then this is actually showing differences between the tables so one of the things that you can do if you want to make a change you can zero out if you want to make the tables the same instead of I mean you could copy and paste this table into this table to make a change or you can just make this whole thing zero and now these tables will match these will be the same so there's two ways to do that so if you had a file that you wanted to use you could just go to the compare differences zero it out make a change but you just have to make sure that the what file you want to use to make the change to as the one that you opened first alright so now let's say we came in and we wanted this section to be matching the other table we'll make this thing zero now only that portion was changed so those two tables match so now we can close this thing and now you'll see that this thing changed colors it's not solid green anymore now it is a green in a red so you have your purple you have your green which shows differences meaning that there's differences between the two compare files and this one shows a different but it also shows an unwritten change so the red means that there's an unwritten or an unsafe change so you know while you're looking at it that you change something in this table so then you have your flashing tools read and write your unit conversion and calculator calculators just a calculator unit conversion has all of these different calculators in there so if you want to know like what is a hundred and a lot of 17 pounds it's a hundred and seventeen kPa just keep in mind that this would be over atmospheric pressure so it would be 217 kPa 417 pounds all right so some of the other buttons down here you can open a file you can save your file you can close the file and that's what I did before when I wanted to do the writing so like this button right here I can't read right now because it has a file open so I would want to go ahead and I would close the file and then it would pop up my Reid vehicle so if I want to open that file back up I can go back into my 2005 Cadillac Escalade stock tune and we'll open that thing up so now we're back into it so this again is just calibration details and information you can view your change history as I said before so if you made a change you can actually go back through and see what types of changes you made or at least what location you were in making the change so again compare file unit conversion and writing vehicle so writing is when you make a change and then you put it into the computer so you do have a favorites button I don't really use the favorites button very much but you can do it it's definitely an option so if I wanted to go into something and add it to my favorites so say ve table might be a favorite option so once that's open there's a little add to favorites button so you can add it to favorites and then your primary ve table is going to show up in your favorites so you got favorites you have operating system so this is going to show the current operating system and it's going to go show what options you have with this operating so this is this is gonna be different for each computer to a little bit so you have your speed density enhanced like if you wanted to delete your math you have a speed density tune you have a speed density to bar tune if you wanted to go no math and boost up to 15 pounds and you have a speed density 3 bar tune if you wanted to go up to 30 pounds and no math so like I said the operating systems are gonna be a little bit different if we open up a different file here so let's look at this 2003 I think this is a Tahoe tune this is just another factory file so if we compare the operating system you see we have different options now so we have the speed density enhanced RTT for real-time tuning we have 2 bar real-time tuning 3 bar and 1 bar math enhanced real-time tuning so you have some different options so just keep that in mind but the real-time tuning is exactly what it says there's a real time tuning feature in the scanner and you can make changes to certain features in real time while you're driving so you don't have to stop pull over and write you can actually make life changes while you're driving or while you're driving and your buddies making changes I should say so let's go into the engine tab so engine tab is gonna have a whole bunch of engine features and there's a lot of stuff here and this is kind of could be easy to get overwhelmed looking at all the stuff but I'll say it right now after using this for about a year there's a lot of stuff in here that you're probably not really gonna need to get too familiar with if you're just trying to make basic changes or maybe you're changing a cam or putting a turbo on you just doing some some basic stuff so let's just go through one by one I'm not gonna cover everything but you have your basic stuff here like this is a 5 3 engine it shows your firing order number of cylinders and then you can enable and disable different things like your EGR if you don't have any gr you can disable your EGR different shift light settings tach output shows your 12 pull-up circuit so idle you can go in and change different idle parameters idle air flow parameters you can change different things like with your air conditioning on air conditioning off because the load is changing on the engine you can modify that type of stuff to a base idle setpoint so this is basically showing engine coolant temp versus in gear AC on and off in part neutral AC on and off so you have four different options here but you can set your target idle speed that's what it says right here target idle speed it doesn't mean it's gonna be there but that's what you're targeting and then there's just a bunch of other idle air flow parameters here so one that you'll you probably be messing with quite a bit especially if you change a cam is some of the startup airflow and the base running idle airflow so this is basically a control of airflow at idle so this is gonna be modifying your idle air control valve and changing the amount airflow that you have while you're right one thing to add like especially for a cam you can go up here and you can change the unit of measure by this little box so you can change it to whatever unit of measure you want and I usually use this g/s you have some different fan settings throttle follower throttle cracker a lot some of this stuff is gonna be for like a drive-by-wire set up versus a drive-by cable so anytime you would see like electronic throttle control you're not really gonna be using that if you have ebola set up air flow so yours there's a couple tabs under the air full tab you have different settings for your calibration intake air temperature sensor calibration you can do the vibration this is gonna be basically how your how your MAF sensor is working and how you would adjust your MAF sensor so this is showing all of all of the settings in pounds per hour so this is showing like 2,600 pounds per hour at 10,000 Hertz so this is 2,600 pounds of air per hour your airflow at 10 and hurts for your map sensor so one other big one is your map sensor characteristics so if you were to change like from a 2 bar to a 3 bar setup you can change you you have to change your map sensor settings so if you change your map sensor you want to go add boost make sure that you change your map sensor settings or Steph will not read right and you just have some other airflow settings vê correction factor steady state and dynamic airflow so some of these things like this steady state I was helping someone with this the other day we were using the steady state to try to force it to run off the VG table because the computer was bad we determined that the PCM was actually bad so but we were trying to force it to run off the VE table using steady state so there's a couple prefer uh a basic video so maybe we won't talk about that in this one electronic throttle so a lot of stuff if your drive by cable you're not really gonna use any of this stuff and a lot of setups are drive a cable and then you can change your cranking V so if you're you want to have more fuel while you're cranking and cylinder charge temperature complex model enable/disable this is basically a bias between your enabling and disabling a bias between intake air temp and engine coolant temp so and it shows you a little description down here at the bottom of everything so if you just want to hover over something it'll show you a description of what everything is down here so it means the table this is probably going to be one of the tables that you're gonna spend most of your time and the metric efficiency so in very short terms it's essentially how efficiently is your engine using the hair that's coming into it so a lot of people call this the fuel table because you're essentially adjusting fueling when you're doing this but basically when you're adjusting this you're telling the engine that there's more air coming into it so it needs to add more fuel so if you increase these numbers you're telling it more air is coming in so the engines gonna add more fuel so this is where you're going to spend a lot of your time while we're in here I guess we can go over some of the basics of how to use these little windows so you have different options up here 3d you can see a table you can see a split so once I hit the split button it'll show you your ve table with a little chart then if you hover over this it'll show a little red circle wherever your cursor is so this would be good for like pinpointing different sections so if I click and drag this thing up you can see the number 1 up to 97 but if I get a little high little spike I can click on just that one area and bring it right back down and you can that's good for hand smoothing so if you want to take out some ripples you can do it by hand if you right click on here you can spin this thing around and look at different sections of it alright so let's get this thing out of the way so if we wanted to all right let's go through and talk about some of these some of these things on here so we've talked about the add to favorites button there is an undo button which is very nice so if you accidentally put like 500 in there you see this really big bike but I made a mistake so now I can undo it and it will go right back to where it was so that's pretty cool you have a copy and fake a copy and paste feature which is nice for using histograms from the scanner and you can you can copy numbers you can paste numbers and you also have options to paste special so you could grab a histogram and I'll go over that when we get into the scanner that you can grab a setting off a premade histogram and you can pay special so you can paste paste buy % x % x % half you can paste special and add you can pay special and subtract there's a few different options in there for whatever you feel like you need to do when you get there you have some smoothing buttons smoothing the one with the little forest corners will smooth the whole section so if you want to grab this section here it'll smooth everything in this section together so if you want to use these other two you can smooth between horizontal bones or you can smooth between vertical bones so let's let's create an example over here so if I want to let's grab some of these little things and we'll make a little spike right here so if I want to smooth this out I can highlight that section and let's smooth it you can see how it's kinda it's smoothing the table so one thing to give one thing to remember though and I got I got caught on this kind of going back and forth with this thing is if you do have some spikes and you want to smooth it or you just made some adjustments like just paste it in some adjustments and you want to go up like this square here when I'm cruising is you know a couple percent too high so say this was like I went to like 7d and then that's when I went up to 75 just in that area if I go over this whole thing and I smooth it it's just gonna kind of like bring those things back down so it might take away some of your changes so that's where it might be good to hand smooth some of this stuff but that's just a basic overview of smoothing you can also interpolate an entire section you can interpolate between horizontal bones and vertical bones so basically what interpolating is doing is it's gonna give equivalent spacing from one section to another section so if I go and I put a hundred in this number there in this box and I put ten in this box guess I didn't really need to change that but if I highlight this section I can interpolate between vertical bones and now what it's gonna do is it's gonna make equal spacing in between all these numbers from top to bottom so if I rotate this we should be able to see what this looks like on the table so that's exactly what that looks like so if I undo that now if I interpolate that it's just gonna go straight line from one to the other one so we'll undo that again so now look what happens if i smooth it if I smooth it between vertical bones see how it just kind of slowly starts to smooth the selections together slowly so that would be the big difference between the interpolating and the smoothing it's essentially kind of doing the same thing it's just there's a curve here and there's a curve here instead of just going straight so I'm not gonna save any of these changes because it's just the stock file and I wouldn't be able to anyways cuz I don't have the license for it but just showing you what some of these things do so you can also add multiply and subtract up here so if I wanted to take this box 90 right here and I wanted to add 10 I could go put 10 in that box add 10 and it adds 10 so if I undo well actually let's leave it at 100 and I'll show what multiply does now if I want to multiply alright so if we take this number and we're looking at a hundred now say we want to pull 10% out of the table so how do we pull 10% out so if I want to pull 10% out of this number I can multiply by 0.9 zero and then it's gonna bolt 10% out so that's how you would use that or if you wanted to do a whole section over here say I want to make this whole section I want to make the whole section 100 just highlight it and click equals and it makes this whole section whatever you put in there so sometimes you can also just highlight a section and then type in your number so I put in the number here and then if you click on it again it'll put it in there so there's a couple different ways to do it but that one seems like it doesn't work all the time when I do it another thing let's undo a bunch of this stuff all right so we're basically all the way undone now so one other thing that I have noticed just saw playing around if I want to take this number I can hit the little positive and negative buttons on the keyboard next to the backspace button there's a plus sign and a minus sign and you can hit those numbers and actually go up and down one by one without using anything on this keyboard so I just found out one day so next to the backspace bit next to the backspace button there's a positive if I hit that one I can just add numbers one by one so this is actually kind of cool like if you're doing real-time tuning and you can just click on the box and then hit number one to Uptown adjust it without actually having to try to find the numbers there puck thrown you can just hit two keys so that one's kind of cool so fueling this is one of the things that I noticed that was different from the three point six to the 4.0 software there's a lot more tabs up here so like your temperature control and your lean fueling this these used to be on one tab like cat over temp and lean cruise I think it was and OH two sensors and open loop those used to be on one tab so there's just a couple different couple different things that are different about this section and flex-fuel now has its own tab here so where the flex-fuel will get general just some flood stoichiometry this is one that you might actually be concerned about so this is showing your percent this is going to be your alcohol percentage and your air fuel ratio at that alcohol percentage so your stray qiyamah tree is basically where your fuel is burning the most efficiently so like a 14-7 is for gasoline so your 14.6 - there you go you really wouldn't have to change too much unless you were trying to trick the computer into mmm or something like that so this would probably just stay the same in most cases injector control this is another place you're gonna spend quite a bit of time in trying to figure this stuff out if you're running like D capped injectors a lot of times you can this change your injector flow rate versus kPa so so this is showing that these injectors factory tune are 33 pounds of fuel per hour so if you're putting bigger injectors in you would change your injector flow rate based on the size of the injectors and you should get injector data that comes with it D capped injectors you can change the flow rate and you don't really have to change any of the other offsets or anything like that which is kind of a cool thing about using D capped injectors but there's also a range limit down at the bottom you can see down here if I click on flow rate verse or just hover over flow rate verse kPa and I don't hurt it's about me hover over anything else you can see there's a limit 254 pounds of fuel per hour so some computers may limit the I forget what the numbers are where they limit am at but I think like the e 38 so the e 40 computers they limit the fuel at like 60 something pounds or something like that so you got to do some other things to trick the computer and to be able being able to run the bigger injectors but you have a couple different other settings you have a multiplier for voltage you have minimum pulse with default pulse with offset versus voltage so you have a an offset table so if your ignition voltage is low it's gonna pulse your injectors differently to compensate for the low voltage and this is manifold vacuum versus ignition voltage so it's saying at this manifold pressure and this ignition voltage this is how it's going to modify or offset your injector pulse all this stuff is going to come if you buy injectors all this stuff is gonna come with your injectors or should come with it if it's coming you're gonna change so this is one of the tabs that was actually split off of another one it used to be open and closed loop all the stuff used to be together so you have your big one is gonna be your old closed loop in this is when you're gonna be going into closed-loop so when you're gonna start using the oxygen sensors so you have 131 degrees that's when you're gonna go into closed loop and start using the oxygen sensors once again once the so what this is saying is if your intake air temp is 68 degrees makes 68 degrees outside and that's what your intake temp is when your coolant temp gets up to 131 that's when you're gonna go into closed loop and start using your o2 sensors now you have some long term fuel trim settings mean rich lean voltage versus airflow and this is basically just your rich lean voltage so when the o2 sensor is switching over from reading rich to lean so at 451 millivolts that's deciding what rich and lean is on the o2 sensor NES so you have different adders for your cold start initial adder versus initial adder vs engine coolant temp so it's just adding more fuel this is a multiplier multiplier this is a multiplier to your EQ ratio and I'll get to that in a different table but it's showing right here when it's cold 30 degrees out it's adding more fuel and then you can change the delay and how long it lasts and all that junk so short term fuel trim open-loop enable disabled so this is going to be your short term fuel trim enable/disable and your open-loop EQ ratio so this is your equivalence ratio your equivalence ratio is based on your stoic value so that number when we were looking at before that was the 14 point six seven or whatever it was for stoick value this is your EQ ratio this is going to be a multiplier of your stake value so anytime it's at one this is not adding any fuel to your stoic value so your targeted air fuel ratio is going to be that fourteen point six eight so as we start to get colder in the engine coolant temp versus manifold pressure it's gonna start to add fuel so it's gonna run a little bit rich here it's at one point one so this is gonna be your equivalence ratio which is a multiplier of your stoic value so you're at one point one so you're gonna be tired of getting about an extra 10 percent more fuel just because it's colder if that makes the very easy quick things that you can change after on a factory tune to try to get a little bit more power so your power enrichment is going to be something that you can change or enable and you can change your EQ rate based on these settings so you can set manifold pressure come off your throttle position hot and cold when it goes on to the hot table and your delay so right now this is saying the percent throttle position five thousand rpm for two seconds and you're over 55 kPa your power enrichment EQ ratio is gonna start to take effect so that goes back to your equivalence ratio and your stoic value this is basically a multiplier of your stoic value to add more fuel so this is gonna add approximately twenty thirty percent more fuel at this rpm range so it's a easy way to change it boom let's see if we can find let's see if we can find a different one let's look at the Escalade tune so yeah central positioned 5,500 rpm for 0 seconds some actually have a different delay in there and some are commanding a hundred percent so in order for you to get more fuel you have to be at 90 percent throttle position for 5,500 rpms so it's effectively disabled is what it is in most of the tunes like you're never really gonna get there so you can change this and set it at like 30 percent throttle position 70 kPa and 4000 rpm boom and then you turn it on right away so it's almost like as soon as you get to that throttle position you're good for flex fuel if you're if it's not a factory enabled flex fuel tuned you can't just enable it and turn it on it doesn't work you can do a segment swap with a factory enabled operating system that matches your operating system number and segment swap for fuel or cygnus up for flick the tune has to be factory enabled otherwise it it still doesn't work so you can't just enable it and turn it on so that kind of sucks alright so going through the spark tables there's a few things in here that you're really gonna look at your high and low octane spark tables your idle spark advance in drive-in Park so you basically have four spark tables so you have a high and a low octane there's your high octane there's your low octane they look pretty pretty close but they're different and then you have your idle idle spark advance and you can see there's multiple things in the same area that are going to be affecting your timing so a lot of times what I'll do is just and what a lot of other guys do is just copy and paste these tables to be the same but what you would want to watch out for is the RPM at the top is different so if you compare your in drive to your high octane you have 400 600 800 but then it goes to a thousand then 12 so here you don't have a thousand and you start at zero so you just want to make sure you copy and paste all the columns in yeah that way it'll help your timing to not be jumping around so much trying to make adjustments but that's where you spend a lot of time to your ve table your SPARC table that's where you'll be a lot and you also have these modifiers to your SPARC table so you have these tables and then you have modifiers to your SPARC tables so something to consider if you know you're at or you're supposed to be at 21 degrees of timing right here but you're actually at 8 you may be running into a high coolant temp issue or you might be running into a high intake temp issue that's pulling a bunch of timing so just something to think about and that's why a lot of times people are zeroing out these tables I was having high intake air temp issues so I I left these tables in use our spark Corrections based on rpm so if you're 300 rpm over your target idle speed it's gonna pull 35 degrees of timing so it's adjusting timing based on idle speed to try to maintain the idle speed and then you have some startup timing tables the others have a table so this is gonna be your your minimum allowable spark it'll cap it at negative 20 so some something is pulling a bunch of timing it's gonna stop at negative 20 it how fast it's recovering after it pulls timing for NOC and you can change the sensitivity for your NOC sensors so burst NOC is another one that's gonna pull it's gonna pull timing so burst knock it's like pulling timing in anticipation of NOC from air flow so a lot of times like on my to and I just have this at 8 because so I want it disabled so it's not cuz it'll just it's like pulling timing all the time so different ways to play with your glue the the factory tune is trying to keep everything safe so it's pulling timing and it's it's controlling how your torque is handled so it doesn't damage anything it doesn't hurt the transmission so you have spark for torque reduction you have a bunch of different things that are gonna be limiting torque and pulling timing for torque so you don't hurt anything okay so in your engine engine Diagnostics tab this is gonna be more around your check engine codes and check engine lights when the codes are kind of come on how they're gonna come on and what codes you have enabled so DTC's your diagnostic trouble codes you have all of your trouble codes that you have available and then you have the options to enable the check engine light the FCS light service engine soon and able white or you can turn the code off or change how it's reporting so you can have it come on Mountain l function indicator lamp on first error on second error or you can have no error reported where it's not going to be reporting any error so you have different misfire settings and modification you can make and airflow one big one especially for doing speed density as making sure that this math fail frequency is set to zero so that's one that you would use for speed density oh yeah you can just change how high your check engine lights come on the transmission you can change a bunch of stuff in your transmission and transmission general this tab does not work so you can't just go down here and switch to a for a lady e or a man I mean you can do a manual or whatever but this is not gonna change anything ahead of sixty E and you want to switch to an eighty you can't just change to an ad on air you have to find a tune with the same operating system and you have to segment swap in the ad e so you'd have to find one with the same operating system that's running an ad e transmission and you have to segment swap it in there you can change how your transmission is shifting you can change the full throttle part of throttle full throttle rpm you can do normal performance hot you can change your shift speeds so you can change at what speed your transmission is gonna shift that for each gear you can change what rpm your transmission is gonna shift that so you kind of want to match these up and make sure they're pretty close you can change all that stuff you can change all the fluids and the pressures are working inside the transmission you can change your shift timing how long it's taking to actually shift the gears torque converter settings so you can have change your torque converter duty cycle you can change when it's applying and releasing so when you're cruising this is saying in fourth gear at 50% throttle it's not going to apply the torque converter until 255 miles per hour so essentially it's just turning it off there but that's how you would change your your torque converter so you can change all that stuff and again you have transmission torque abuse settings so you can be safe or you can go fast and break it so system this is where you're gonna this is where you're gonna be able to change your vats so security this is where you're gonna change your vats so you can either be at serial PWM or none so if you don't want the vats on you can put none and then you can go into your right and then right vehicle I can't do it on this one let's see if I go too so if I go to cereal i go to i go to none i can write and then it gives me the option to write calibration or i can write then tune Urlacher vats and then just click that click right and then it'll go on and it'll change your vats and it takes about 15 seconds to do that so you can change your fan settings you can change your air conditioning settings enable/disable when you want your fans to come on all kinds of goodies speedo here's where you can change your speed limit speed limiter that's just a fuel cut basically you can change your speedometer calibration so how many pulses per mile pulses per revolution this is one of the numbers that gets changes changed when you do your this is one of the numbers that gets changed when you do your D ratio and tire size change it'll change all this stuff for you to automatically keep your speedometer calibrated so going through all that again like I just did the VAT so if we wanted to make any change to the computer so if I want to make a VE table change and I want to go up 10% on here I go up here to write the pain got to have the vehicle off key turned forward right vehicle make sure this is on right calibration then you can click there and write the change and it'll go through it'll take about a minute two minutes and then you're done okay so here's an overview of the EVC M scanner so you can see I have a log file pulled up and it shows quite a few different elements in this setting and you can set this up however you want so I'm one of my other scanners I actually have the the gauge the chart versus time and the graphs the histograms all on separate tabs so this entire section is each one of them individually so this is a log of one of I drag passes that I did it was an 11-4 pass and you can see that I'm logging rpm my speed my injector duty cycle manifold pressure spark not retired tarred throttle position and all kinds of different stuff you can really put in kind of whatever you want to see I'm logging intake air temperature because that was one of the important things that I wanted to see cuz I was having issues with high intake air temps but you can also add pretty much anything that the computer is seeing you can watch on here so you can see if your torque converter torque converter is applied you can look at desired idle air flow idle air control you can see a whole bunch of stuff so if I close this file it'll allow me to add different channels so if I want to add a channel and I want to look at my transmission input speed I can look at my transmission input shaft speed so you can really look at anything you want so if you want to look at transmission input shaft rpm you double click it you add it to the channels list it'll show up as this green highlighted color and now that's on your channels list so now when you want to add something to your chart you right-click go to charts layout and you can go down here and say I want to put it in group five I can add a series I don't know there and showed up under one so if I add a series I can go to my input Jeff speed transmission input Jeff speed rpm and boom now I have transmission input SAFF speed on their new series I didn't change the name but can change the name friends so make sure it's on the channels list and then you can add it to your graphs you can add it to your chart you can log whatever you want so you can even play back your files if you want to go back in and open up an old old file I'll just pick a random one here it'll show the whole scam and I can sit here and play the log file back and it'll actually show me everything that was happening while it was running so I can just sit and watch what was happening during the pass and you can sit and analyze it and make sure everything's okay or see what changes you want to make go back into the editor make the changes and then go out make another pass and scan it again and see what's going on so this histogram section up here I didn't really think I was gonna use this very much but I ended up using a lot because you can you can kind of customize and create different tables for whatever you want and these are the things you can copy and paste into your other tables in the editor so if I have this spark table just for example I can highlight this and we'll go up to 5,600 rpm I can right click copy this and I go back into my spark table so if you have your histogram created then you can that's when you can right-click and paste special and then you can subtract so if I was looking at timing and I was throwing noch I can subtract all the locations that I had not and then it would pull it out of my main timing tables so some other stuff you can do with the scanner you can read your trouble codes diagnostics and info this is where you can look at your engine trouble codes check engine lights also look at vehicle controls and special functions so in here you can enable and disable fuel injectors you can lock your timing you can force closed loop and open loop you set your long term fuel trim so if you wanted to start start fresh you can reset your fuel trims all kinds of stuff you can do in there zoom in and out on the scan it's basically just a very cool tool for monitoring and you can create set it up how you want I do have some other videos and I can go into some more detail on another video on how to set some of this stuff up but that's just a basic overview of what it does very cool tool and I know I wouldn't be able to live without it because I like scanning I really like looking at stuff so alright so that's it for this one guys hopefully you guys enjoyed the video I know I went through some of the stuff kind of fast didn't really explain a whole lot but that was the idea to just try to do a quick overview of it and I know I got a little sidetracked on some of the tables but we're just gonna have to get used to that and deal with it so hopefully you guys enjoyed it thanks for watching have a good one [Music]
