Ok, it appears that i can still purchase Tunercats through them and not through JET (as i have heard they were bought out by).

So what all do I need to purchase and download?

 

They were not bought out they just sell through them.

make the order and you will get every thing you need except a scan utility

 

Well what do I all need to order?

OBDII Tuner? THat it? And a definition file?

And how much is the cable and stuff?

Thanks for your help...

 

How much is a good tuning program like Tunercat? I have nitrous and was thinking of getting that.

 

last I heard Jet bought the rights to it, but when tunercat was selling them they were $380 with 1 definition file...you can now buy it through craig moates but it needs to be bought in conjunction with his roadrunner stuff as far as I know...I would contact tunercat directly about it, then moates & if neither can do anything then & only then go through jet.

 

yeah through jet it is a complete package for $500...

 

is there a website?

 

what I did is...... buy a obd-1 conversion from MADZ28...then bought the OBD-1 tunercat program! payed about $400 and somthing for everything...including the cable!

 

but your fucked when it comes time for emisions if you need to do them. I dont, but i will never know if i may move somewhere that does.

 

well I live in cali...and I've fucked myself way back when I built my 383...and put a big *** cam, LTubes, and every other non emission thing on my car.........

 

haha Amen

 

it COMES with all the cable and the Def file

I have the entirre package and every Def he has

 

You can buy the Jet tuner package through Summit or Jegs for $475, a little cheaper than through Jet directly. I managed to get it the first week it was available when it was priced at $365 at Summit. There is also a data logging/diagnostic program available that uses the tunercat OBD2/Jet cable called MXscan. It costs $69, and you can get it at: http://www.moates.net/mxscan-standard-p-125.html. It is still in the development stages and there are a few bugs yet. It's only been available for about a week or so.

 

Yeah good luck getting MXscan

 

I think i may go OBDI.... but im not sure...

 

ok.. so what do i ALL need from Tunercats to do OBDI.... i have decided to go this route....

Cuz there is a lot of options on their site...

 

i have been looking into this to how do you start by tunning this. i am doing a 383 right now and when i get it back i need a tune but how do i go about this.

 

All you need it the Tuner, the EE definition file and a cable. Don't need the rest of what you listed. As for an OBD1 converion for an F body, all you do is buy a PCM at the salvage, and if it is from an F body with the same trans (and gear ratio if it's an automatic), just plug it in, use Tunercat to turn off trouble code 43, and your converted. If it is not from the correct trans and gear, you will need to flash it with the correct file first. If you have an A4 use a '95 calibration, as the '94 does not use the pulse width modulated TCC solenoid the '96 & '97 uses. The '95 does. If you can't find the correct calibration, email me and I will send you the correct stock file for your car. You don't need the soldered-in band-aids. I have been doing it this way for ten years, works perfectly.

 

Tuning is a has a very long learning process to get it down good. You need to read read read. Best thing to do is get a mail order tune, data long, another tune according to data logs. You take a look at the tunes and data logs and look what they changed. You will learn a lot this way. Then after you start learning and have read enough to understand the basics (stuff like KR, timing, fuel maps, ect ect..) then you can slowly make changes for better power.

But to start... you have to get everythng you need....



When I need to get my base tune I will be giving you a call/pm.

 

if i have had my computer tuned already will i have trouble getting my stock settings or are the saved on the computer forever?
