Hi,
I am doing ac cobra 427 ls1.

A friend is selling efi live v2 flashscan but no vins left
I have ecu schwanke 12200411, 12201281 on it pcm 1310
if I bought efilive from him what are chances my pcm is locked etc?
also how many vins would I need to buy. Engine is currently no oxygen sensors or knock etc
I would just want to edit the current tune at the moment for gears tyres etc
sorry but I have posted in newbs section.....
many thanks

Anyone any ideas?

1 vin license for the pcm.
you will need to ask the previous owner/tuner if it is locked or try to read it to find out.

 

Hello,
Ah thanks for reply.
If i try to read it and it is locked, then would that use up a Vin license?

Sorry for newb questions but dont want to purchase 2nd hand efi live and a vin
and not be able to read/alter the pcm....I might as well just send it away to be altered at great cost..

Anyone altered a schwanke pcm tune??
Regards
Gav

 

No you only use the vin license if you flash into the pcm, no charge or anything to pull current tunes out of a pcm.

 

Ok, thanks,
best get reading efilive forum then........

Hi,
OK, got efi live V2 and intend on getting wideband for it
Is it easy to set up the NGK AFx e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NGK-NTK-Wide...-/400665005390
with this?
I have googled to death but seems some have issues setting it up?
Many thanks

Hello,
Any ideas if this wideband is easy to setup/works with V2??
Will stop pestering after this .....

Sorry i havent gotten into that with mine yet. I will be looking into it shortly though once my cars ready to run.

 

the EFILIVE forum will give you some tutorials for setting up various tuning/datalogging options.

HTH,

 

I would look at the list of serial widebands and purchase one of those for ease of use with efi live. If you ever need anything related to efi live we are a dealer.


I have tuned a couple vehicles that had tunes from schwanke and the pcm's were not locked.

 

Any wideband kit should work. However if the unit has Serial output is going to be the best signal. As it is accurate with no 0-5 volt scaling needed.

As for ecms, if it is locked, just call me, ill get you squared away.

You will need one license to program the ecm if it has not been licensed by the cable already.

 

Thanks everyone for replies,
Have posted in efilive forum now and they have been helpful as well.
