Re: ECtune
 

I really don't know what the deal is with sales/licensing. A lot of that is supposed to be hammered out when a bunch of us meet Calvin at PRI next week. I'm not in the sales loop, but if I get any advance info I'll ask if I can share it.

There are a number of advance single user copies floating around already... Minor Threat, zex_slavic_scammer_uncool, etc.

Re: ECtune
 

If I wasn't a brokeass I would be going to PRI.

Joey, I still need you to walk me through eCtune, which BTW for everyone else will be worth every penny of the license. Hands down walks all over S300 in terms of interface and ease of use. I've yet to tune a car with Neptune so I don't know how it compares.

Re: ECtune
 

I really wish I could offer this software. After a full circle jerk of Emails, I figured out that I don't work on enough cars per month to make it worth it.
I wish Calvin figured out a better copy protection/anti-piracy method than he currently has. It would allow for a per-unit sales dealer setup, and open it up to the weekend guys like me. :3

I really want to try out the single user option. Anything PGMFI.org derived gets my vote.

I checked out the Logger version that was posted. The GUI is spot ------- on, IMHO. Its like CROME interface meets Hdata functionality. ---- rips yo'

Re: ECtune
 

I'll bet you tune more cars than I do, and I have as many big power dyno sheets in the eCtune dyno forum as anyone. From what Spiker has said you have more 600 whp cars currently running than I have under my belt period.

Calvin's a brilliant programmer and the software is excellent.

Re: ECtune
 

ECTune for Tuners: Being getting the ability to write EEPROMS, and make multiple tunes,

Will cost over $1,000 to buy, and $250/mo. It is for serious tuners, and to keep illegal distribution/chips made down.

Ostrich pairing requires a less than automated process to complete, so this leave the same hole with CROME with licensing; however, once paired, you need not worry till you need to pair again.

The interface is seemless and AWESOME!

I have been testing it for a few days now; Routine errors in the code poping up, and good work done by all. It still needs work and is deservidly in beta, but rest asured, this product is gonna take alot of business from hondata; With the disassembly of the OBDII code happening now, it could be possible in the future to expand it's capabilaties =)

STRETCH

Re: ECtune
 

Cough up your masterpiece for public criticism.

Re: ECtune
 

Yeah I can't afford the Tuner version that I wanted originally. But After christmas is overwith I'm gonna try a single car version for myself.

Re: ECtune
 

Let's organize a group-buy on ostriches for those that don't have them yet.

$175.00
10+ $157.50
20+ $148.75
50+ $140.00

Re: ECtune
 

Calvin should consider offering a package deal including the single car version and an ostrich. or maybe an lc-1 in with it to.

Re: ECtune
 

A bunch of us will be chilling with him at PRI tomorrow through Saturday. I'll make sure the subject is brought up.

Re: ECtune
 

Yeah, taking a bunch of information available on pgmfi.org and info he shared with other guys on that site, putting it together, and ending up with ECtune is brilliance....It may be a well put together program. It may function very well. The code may be elegant. The end result is nothing brilliant. It is Crome+Hondata+Neptune.

Let me call up the guys from Open Office and tell them they are brilliant for making a MS Office clone with some cool features.

Re: ECtune
 

so quick to judge, but you are yet to do ANYTHING. ::)

till then STFU ! :-X

Re: ECtune
 

Unless the LC-1 is at a huge discount I can do without it. The JAW seems to be working better, I just need to keep an eye on the voltages and make sure the ground for the ECU and JAW don't have too much of a voltage across them. But the ---- changes as I drive so I dunno, an LC-1 may be in my future. For the record my JAW is grounded at the thermostat, so it should have no voltage difference relative to the ECU ground.

Re: ECtune
 

Inqy, you haven't done it yourself and you aren't in the loop of behind the scenes information. Ergo, you know jack and ---- beyond the press release and some loose opinions.

This has been nice and all, but I'm off to the pgmfi convention @ PRI. In my absence enjoy reading the forums (that you have access to) sans participation at any level, I'm sure you find it very rewarding.

Re: ECtune
 

You dont think this has already been discussed...come on nukka! O0

Re: ECtune
 

Well Chris if you ass is gonna be involved I'll just wait until after the first of the year and pay you with a small number of p28's O0

I figured you would mention something like that to him but I didn't know if it was in the works or not. he seems strange on the sales end of things for so long just a rough guess on the price was a secret.

Re: ECtune
 

hope this is available soon. i will deff buy a single user option. already have ostrich and a lc-1 ;D

Re: ECtune
 

your a jerk...
SR and RB's not even the same have you even looked.

"Anyone with RB money shouldn't be worried about it as there are a bunch of standalones on the market for a grand that will let you take your car most anywhere for tuning."
so RBs are for fucks with MONEY!!?? RB20DET is cheaper then buying JDM b18C motor.. buddie your so wrong..
I don't know much about this modular table stuff your talking about, thats why Im here... to learn

Re: ECtune
 

Um hi,

hey buddy? Why did you bump this?

Was it to be a douchetard? BECAUSE YOU'VE SUCCEEDED

What he is talking about is the actual table maps for the ecu's being able to be switched, interchangeably, as in there wasn't any kind of encryption in the code. Like you could run the ignition map for an SR20DET on an RB20, or 25 and have it deliver the same timing vs. MAP.

RB26DETT's are to Nissan Heads what the B18C is to Honda heads. Gay and overhyped.

If you want to learn something, shut the ---- up and keep your dumbass opinions out of threads that actually have a specific purpose.

Asshat.

Re: ECtune
 

And you posted up to argue with me, followed by admitting you don't know anything about the subject. You are full of fail, come back when you know something to have something to argue about. :S

Re: ECtune
 

Last time I checked the RB20 is a worthless hunk of iron that has less output potential than a KA, and is as JD said, expensive to make power out of.

NEWSFLASH: The RB series weighs MORE in longblock form than a small block ford!!! Where's the advantage in putting a heavy ass 2.0liter lack-of-available-parts engine in anything???

To bring this thread back to the subject, are there any new update on EcTune???

Re: ECtune
 

heres an update: ectune makes my car run like a raped ape

Re: ECtune
 

Any specific reason?

Re: ECtune
 

not really lol...this car was never run on anything else. Its a really well organized software that even I can understand for the most part, so that helps lol.

Re: ECtune
 

well that's better than, OMGMYCARGOZSOFAWKINFAZTNOW

;)

Re: ECtune
 

dont be jealous because im fluent in ricer-speak ;)

Re: ECtune
 

any more info on the public release? cost maybe ?

Re: ECtune
 

one billion dollars !!! bawhahahahahaha << Dr. Evil laugh. :)

Re: ECtune
 

I think that it sucks because this guy- calvin - is trying to make alot of money.
And its not that easy to buy it. F**k That, I would rather use my chip burner with another program.

Re: ECtune
 

Re: ECtune
 

The only people crying :'( about paying for software that they cant burn a chip for are the people that bought a single Crome Pro string and tuned every Honda in a 500 mile radius.

And as far as not wanting to buy an ostrich, If you are trying to tune a car in 2008 without real time programming then you are pissing in the wind. Its like trying to work on a Honda without a 10mm socket. Sure you may have been able to get it done, but it took you way too long and you probably fu*ked something up in the process.

For the licensing of the ostrich,Calvin is just trying to protect his software. He does not want people to take advantage of him, just like you wouldn't want someone taking advantage of your hard work. Calvin has worked very hard on this software and is still working his ass off so that when he does release this software it will be the best available. Its really cool to be a tuner and ask for a feature, wait a couple of days and Calvin has a new update for you to test. Sure there might be a bug, but the feature is there and as long as you do good bug reporting its flawless within a week.

The options and tools that this program offers, have without a doubt, made me a better tuner.

Im off my soap box- :6 -Game on

Re: ECtune
 

I was planing on using Crome Pro, but I must said that eCtune sounds promising.
Anybody using it, how is it comparte to the others? Have you got good results from it?

Re: ECtune
 

After using eCtune the second time I never opened Crome again.

I probably have more dyno tunes w/ eCtune than any of the other Authorized Tuners, I am just to lazy to post them up.

Re: ECtune
 

I need to buy it. I have been pretty happy with crome over the years dealing with the issues but having fuel/ignition maps being correct will be a nice change of pace.

Re: ECtune
 

I just purchased ectune. have any of you guys tuned a ZC with it I can't find that motor type to create a basemap for.

Re: ECtune
 

No sir, no ZCs. You'll have to take care of that for us.

Start off with an LS basemap as it is closest to what a ZC wants for NA timing, yank a bit more timing under boost like she's a D-series.

Re: ECtune
 

THanks JD. I needed that info.

anything else I should know? I'm using a P06.

Re: ECtune
 

Yes. Have fun, ZCs are about pure enjoyment!
