Well, Ive spent some time searching and reading, and Im just not getting all the info I need, So, I turn to creating a new topic.
With that said:
I am considering either getting a Tuned ECU from Nelson Performance, or going with something like the Hypertech, Diablo or Edge.
OR - Im wondering if there is a program available to hook up a laptop to the ECU and flash reprogram it.
Ive found a few laptop interfaces that show readings, including dyno, codes, statistics, but it seems like there should also be programs available to actually reprogram the ECU. Its not that I think I can do any better than Black Bear or Nelson, its that if I want to change something, I dont want to wait 5 days to do so, plus, Id like to learn a little. Nelson Performance says their custom tune to go to 89/91 octane will put 30-35 HP to my wheels...that is quite a claim...but it true, well worth it!
If nobody knows about laptop software available to reprogram the ECU, then I am open to hear the differences between what the Hypertech, Diablo or Edge Evolutions allow one to change.
I want to:
1) Change Air/Fuel & Timing to increase Torque and HP, as I tow and need to pull better up hills.
2) Change the Torque Management (TM), removing about 75%.
3) Change Shift Points for Tranny
4) Adjust for diff tire sizes
5) Remove/Change Speed/Rev limiter
I know the handheld units adjust most of these, but are they pre-programed or does one adjust each setting individually? Or is there option for pre-program or manual adjustment.
All Comments are welcome.
