Best tuning option for a turbo PM6/D16a
I have a d16a6 with 2.5 bar map, 450cc injectors, PM6 ECU, ostrich, and a t28.
I'm trying to tune with TurboEdit, but I have 4 different versions on my machine, 3 different versions of plugins, and cannot find a "stable" version that datalogs and works with the ostrich. Although nice, I don't even need real time tuning, just the basics.
Before I get flamed, I really appreciate what TurboEdit has done, but I think that my unique combo is just making it too hard for me to use the software. I really need to tune, not debug why this version works with ostrich, but can't datalog, that version can datalog but no ostrich, etc.
Looking for suggestions for more stable software/hardware for tuning my setup. I'm willing to throw some ducats at the problem; should I convert to OBD I and use chrome? I will be getting a wideband soon, but I need to get the base hardware, software, and tune in place before I start refining.

Re: Best tuning option for a turbo PM6/D16a
Dude, I've been down that road, its not the installation. I've re-installed TE, windows drivers, updated firmware on ostrich, yada.
These aren't bugs specific to me, they are some known bugs. Most have a thread on pgmfi like 'ostrich not working', then 5 or 6 "me toos", a couple of suggestions that didn't work for most, and then a stale thread that never gets updated.
I develop software by day, so I really don't want to spend the time to help develop at night. I wrench because I don't want to deal with ------- computers more than I have to after work
. I just want to be a lazy end user, and spent $$$ if I have to.
Again, I don't mean to sound like a hater. TurboEdit is free, and there are only so many developers to work on it.

Why do I need a burn1?
I have an ostrich, so I don't need chips.
What are you datalogging with? -- the ECU control plugin?
BTW: I can get the programming to the ostrich with one of the moates utils, just not through TE.

Well if you want to spend some cash swap to obd1 and run cromepro...Or wait a few more weeks and get ectune.
they will be selling individual user liscense that will only work with your ostrich!!! So you'll be happy. you get to spend cash and use your ostrich...And according to every tuner I respect and listen to ectune works great.
