Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

Im not going to have this motor build and turbo ready til next summer when I bring the car back out

But I would like to know what you guys did when you first learned about TE, how do you play around? How do you know when ---- works?

Like straight up beginner style lol

Let me know,thanks

I learned how to use TurboEDIT using xenocron's very well written tutorials.

There i one on how to create a basemap, and just what are those pesky values that you're editing anyway.

Xenocron's tutorials thought me everything about how to use TurboEDIT. Now I am a TurboEDIT Grand Master. ;D

hehe

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

Yeah those tutorials seem good if you already know what the functions, numbers, columns do.

Im new to boost, adding fuel and retarding timing, so Im basically starting from scratch

Is there any special programs I need?

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

just do alot of research..read al the FAQ's and go to PGMFI.org

they have plenty of information...even if you dont know what they are talking about, you will learn by reading ...

i still dont really know much about what all the numbers mean but hey the more you try it the more likely you will learn.

IM BACK!

Got scared away from boost when I realized how much money it was going to cost to hit 350+ whp, went with nitrous for a while but its getting expensive already

Got a new job for a year until I figure out what I wanna do in school

Need to learn this program

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

what? you would only settle for 350+ whp so you decided to just make extra 50-60 hp with nitrous instead :P if you're not even boosted right now, you have plenty of time to mess with and learn the basics of how an ecu rom editor works. just install the program on your pc and read through the tutorials and mess with the program at the same time, this is how i learned. i thought it was complicated as hell, but i got all the basics in less than a day.

Umm... 12:1 compression, full race head, huge bolts ons, 125 shot would be a ------- quick d, but I want to be able to run laps at tracks so nitrous wouldnt be to fun and nitrous is expensive in my area anyways

Still wanting to learn this program

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

Was is it you need to learn?

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

everything lol basically

Like how do BRAND NEW people to boost learn how to use this program? Like what columns mean what, what exactly your doing when you change this etc etc

Also how to get the actual program on my pc and what things and software I need to actually burn new ships

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

Well...for most of what you are asking about, everyone of us that have learned by reading and trying. I hope you really dont expect to be spoon fed that much.

To get it on your PC just download it from www.turboedit.org and install it. Pretty easy.

Start playing! It's the best way to learn...

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

Yeah thats all I wanted was where to get the program and Ill read the 2 how to's

I need excel for this dont I?

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

alright, got the program , all I see is a black snail lol

I dont even have a setup, so how would I start with absolutely nothing

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

Download the BIN files and open them in the program.

Think like this:

TurboEdit = Microsoft Word

BIN Files = Word DOCs

Open BIN files in TurboEdit and...duh...edit them. Just as you would open Word DOCs in Microsoft Word and...duh...edit them.

Very simple really.

prick ::)
J/k I'll be messing with TE in the future as well, but I think I got the hang of it.

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

what bins am I uploading?

You mean like someone else basemaps, then you play around with them... oh... I thought this would create a base from scratch going from your setup

... I dunno, lost noob

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?
 

When did I ever say upload?

Just take your time and please read a little more carefully...you may just be trying to go too fast. ::)

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?

Re:Beginning TurboEdit. How Do You Learn? What Can I Play With?

Its very very easy to make basemaps.. Just read xenocrons tutorials...
