I'm teaching someone how to use their HPT...

can someone point me to a concise/condensed/quickie how-to summary...?

I'm probably going to have 1-2 hours to squeeze it all in

Please/Thanks

( I use EFILive )

 

Theyre gonna have to get on the net and search. Read. Order a few books. Etc...

 

I'll simply walk him thru the Help on the HPT website

( how to use, not how to tune )

 

Oh... There's a video on YouTube. I can find it for you later if you like...

 

This helped me get started

Ok, thanks, I'll point him there after I get him comfortable logging and viewing tables.

 

Joe if you can figure out EFI Live, HP tuners is going to seem like falling off a log. There are a lot of video demos in the stickies on the HP Tuners forum.

 

Yes, I use the VCM editor offen, but when I try to view logs it seems the scanner is missing a cfg file...

but mostly I have to teach him how to log and do various basic tasks.

 

You can go to the hptuners tune repository with your buddy's hptuners serial # and look at different tunes to see things that have been changed on different tunes. here are some things you can look at.

Any good sites like those for the Gen IV stuff?

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Not sure i only work on my gen 3

 

The Gen3 stuff also applies to GenIV with a few small differences (actual VE vs virtual VE).

 

Ok, I now see how to select/save pids for logging (answering my question regarding config), it's fome from the Table window... ok, now I'm looking at custom/calculated pids...

 

Has HPT yet released public software that does VVE for E38/E67...?

 

There are quite a few more differences than that.

 

Sure, there are many more tables, but what you already know about (and relating to) VE (now in virtual form), MAF, IFR, OLFA, PE, trims, spark, idle and other things still applies (even tho some of those tables may now look different).

 

Joe there is a VVE tool built in the 2.25 Beta only. To tune VVE with the public release 2.24 you have to use the Bluecat VVE tool. It's easy to find and download. Look for a thread in their GM Gen4 sub forum.

 

I've downloaded the Bluecat tool, thanks.
