Default RT Tuner From TUNERCAT

I just got this real time tuner from cats and i got the regualr tuner. I was just wondering wich one is better and how. I do understand that one is REAL TIME. And does this stuff just go on a chip in the ecu or do you burn a chip then put it in the ecu from the program. Im proly wrong both ways, someone please help me understand tunercat and burning.

93's are chip based, pull pcm, burn chip, install chip, reinstall pcm.

Are there any errors? I'm not at all familiar with OBDI programming or anything so won't be much help... but if you're getting an error may help others

Hey Horist,

nice to see you, No there arent any errors it loads and then it doesnt connect to aldl but i leave RT up and open TTS and it runs just fine. i really dont know im so tired of my car right now. For just a little cable i had to rewire my obd1 port it took so long because i had no idea what to do!

I'm going to copy this to the LT1 section too in case some gurus don't visit this section (since it's 95% LS1)

edit: n/m you got it covered

Just saw this thread. I have tuner pro and rt for the datalogging. I have never got rt to log data. I need the correct .ads file to datalog. I only have the .ecu file for editing which you can import into rt as an .xdf file for editing. Tunerpro uses .ecu files and rt uses .xdf, but to datalog you have to have the .ads file. I just went to datamaster and use the Tunerpro for editing the bin. Do you have the .ecu file to read the bin for editing? I have it if you need it.
