Default HPT Custom OS MAF vs SD

Hi

I so going to update to HPT 2.1.12 and try the real time stuff. To do that I need there custom OS. They have two. One is for MAF and one for SD. I think that in the SD one the MAF works if it is pulged in. What is the differance in them? Which one do i need if I will do SD tune but run a MAF?

We need more info, whats your setup? Do you plan on running the MAF? ect, ect.

You can leave the Maf pluged up and set the fail frequency to 0 and still be in SD

teh MAF still works on all of the OS's
it just enables full functionalality for SD...things like you are normally stuck in th esecondary VE and the low octane tabe in SD are fixed and you get to use the Primary ve and high octane normaly again with the 1/2/3 bar SD
the MAF enhancement enables RTT for standard OS's
all of the 1/2/3 bar SD enhancements also enable RTT

I personally lean towards using the 1 bar SD OS in both cases...but with the MAF enhancement you get the MAF table in RTT and with SD enhancements you dont get the MAF as its not expected to be used...

in your case I think you would be ok with either one...

I've just noticed that with the newest version I now have an extra option under the OS section called 1 Bar MAF - Enhanced.
What kind of difference does that provide vs. using the stock tune w/ the MAF enabled?

That will customize the OS to add real-time tuning support with a MAF configuration.

Is that something we should get free or have to pay for because mine shows Unlicensed next to it and from what I read that means it won't work until I pay for it.


Right now I already have the 1 Bar SD

if you have 1 bar SD enhanced right now when RTT becomes available to you it will be a free upgrade

maf enhanced is a completely different OS & uses the MAF whereas the one your running right now doesnt...so being completely different it will have a cost attached to it.

The only kicker is if we haven't added RTT to your OS/Enhancement yet, you have to wait. :



you should calm down. i was just trying to help.

The reason I'm getting pissed is because of people like you who obviously know the answers, but all you kept saying is read this, read that. It's just as bad as people who love to post "use the search"
Is it so hard to just tell me the answer or at least link to the post that has the answer?
Its really a PITA to dig through 5+ pages to find a single answer.

well the thing is when i have a question i start researching. then i research more. i try to follow important posts. i am not trying to be like a SEARCH BUTTON guy, but all your question could have been answered by reading their release threads. i dont like when people ask question when they can look them up so easily. im not saying you dont research but both your questions were covered quite directly in their releaase threads. well it is a PITA to read i dont like to either but you have to learn by reading on the internet. have a good day. see ya

part of the reason people say "use the search button" is because they dont want a bunch of lazy *** people posting the same question or questions that have been already answered...


there is also a HpTuners Forum you could have went to and asked on...

or umpteen other forums who want to know teh same questions as well....

getting pissed is not the way to do things....

if you ask teh right questions you get the right answers...being vague or asking what something is without more personal situation details is hard to answer correctly....

hell...signatures are your way to tel everybody whats going on with you and yoru car....use it...then we can atleast see what you have an answer in a timely manner...

I'll gladly answer questions...but if you are going to give up if you dont find it as the first thread that pops up...then you need to calm down and wait and be more patient



sorry for the rant

Questions are the reason these forums are here. Of course questions are going to be asked more than one time because sometimes finding the answers are not as easy as clicking on the first thread and finding it. Sometimes people don't have time to search through thousands of posts to find a simple answer.
People need to relax when they see a question being ask more than one time.

First off, I did search and didn't find my answer. I don't make it a habit of posting questions before looking.

Second, I already email HPTuners support and have not gotten a response.
How would asking this question on HP forums help any different than here. Would I have not gotten yelled at over there?

Third, please explain how I am being vague on my questions. I am asking them in the best way I can. Sorry I cannot explain things in better detail.

As for the signature, try looking up a few posts and you'll see that it is on. 99% of the time I leave it on unless I post more than a few times on one page because all it does is cludder things up. Also, my signature has nothing in it that would have helped answer my question any better. If it did, I would have left it on.

Lets just leave this be as I do not wish to fight about something as stupid as this.
