Default HP Tuners: 98 2bar!!

We have just completed testing of our soon to be released 98 2bar OS enhancement. That's right 2bar is coming to the 98's!!

Features:
- 5 kpa resolution VE table (15-210 kpa)
- boost enrichment table and thresholds
- delete secondary VE
- re-enable dual spark table knock learn (high and low octane)
- disable trans full line pressure for SD
- disable P1514
- Speed Density (SD) ONLY!!

We expect to annouce an open beta (v2.1.9) next Monday for those that want to get in before the official release in v2.1.10 (2-3 weeks).

Pricing will be as per existing LS1 2bar prices.

The test car was a twin turbo vette that hit 15psi at just under 5000 rpm , so we don't foresee any issues on lower boost combo's.

Any further details will be provided in the release announcement.

I'd like to be in this. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Question

Chris,

Can I get in on this beta testing? I am helping a friend with a C5 and a nasty cam. If you guys never release a 1bar SD for 98s this will be as close as he ever gets... He has his own license of HPTuner...

Way to go guys!

Too bad I am now running on a 2001 OS, but still very good news. This is why I use HPTuners.

Does this mean that I can upgrade my OS? Would it look more like a 99+ OS if I did this? Would this benefit me N/A?

Can we get this over at Conley's? We have a full tuner suite and have a 98 car sitting there with an STS kit waiting for something just like this.

This is absolutely great to hear. I was eagerly awaiting this support as I am going with a Hi-Flo kit on my 98 Camaro.

Now I have a few questions on pricing. I have 2 cables, 1 for 1998 (serial cable, marked v1.0), and another for 99-02.

I wish to upgrade my cable to the MPVI Pro. According to your website that is $199, and in order for me to tune MY car (and mine only) in 2 Bar SD, I need to purchase two credits for $49.99 each.

The total alone for my 98 will be $298.98, correct?

How do I go about getting my interface upgraded, do I make a purchase on your website then send it to Casper's or something?

I won't even get into the cost of upgrading my 99-02 cable yet, that looks like it is going to run $1200 to do EIO and 2-3 bar speed density tunes?

I will be spending a lot of money with you guys again so I look forward to your prompt response.

Calling a BS3 'ghetto' is like calling a Lenco 'ghetto' compared to a 4L60 there sparky, each have their purpose.

3bar and an IAT fueling table and I may change my BS3 plans though

it would be basically the 98 OS but 2 bar meaning no secondary VE table, extended primary VE table, boost enrich tables added, & use of the high octane table. Cost will be the same as all the other 2/3 bar OS's at $99 for the upgrade.

I would say email sales at hptuners for info on trading in your old cables for a single new one.

Glad to hear that the 98's have something to look for.
