NEWS FLASH!
LLY Beta applications now being taken.
Applications close on November 28th, so be quick.
See below on how to apply.....


FINALLY A DURAMAX PC PROGRAMMER

EFILive is pleased to announce that we are currently looking for people to participate in our PC based Duramax Diesel ECM programming beta test program.
Initially EFILive will offer support for the LB7 Duramax motor (2001 - 2004), so if you own or work with these engines then you may qualify to join
us in our beta test program.
Although early 'in field' testing has already begun, the beta test program will 'officially' start just after SEMA. Are you coming to SEMA? if yes
then checkout our Duramax PC based tuner first hand at SEMA/AAPEX Booth #34034 with AutoTap.

EFILive's Duramax programming opens the world to untapped power from this awesome 6.6L V8, never before has anybody offered such a detailed tuning solution to the Duramax market.
No more add on boxes fooling the ECM, no need to 'stack', no more unwanted check engine lights, with EFILive you have complete control with over 100 parameters and tables to alter directly in the ECM from injection timing, injection amount (both pilot and main) for more power and better MPG, plus of course the simple things like VATS bypass, tire/speedo rescaling and the ability to change many diagnostic fault code parameters like overboost and DTC enablers.
Workshops will appreciate the option to lock ECM's from other tuners being able to read or write to the ECM, this includes the GM dealers!. Lock reversal and programming standard programs back into the ECM is a quick 40 second operation.
Team our awesome editor up with the best scantool on the market that includes features like the ability to log up to 25 mins of data without a laptop, built in EGT input that is logged alongside the engine data and you have a Duramax tuning and scanning solution rivalled by no other.
But if that's not enough, prices start from just $699 which will allow you to program any two vehicles EFILive supports (Duramax or LS1), then after that, additional vehicle programming licenses can be purchased via Email for under $100 with a maximum of 25 per cable.
Over the last year EFILive has taken LS1 tuning and scanning to a new level, now it's time for the Duramax!.

We are looking for all levels of users to help us get the product tailored to all spectrums of the market before it's public release.
The LB7 package is expected to be on sale at the start of December 2005, with the LLY to follow within a few months.
To initially qualify you must answer yes to all these questions -

1 - Do you own or have unlimited access to an LB7 Duramax that you will be willing to program?.
2 - Do you have at least a basic understanding of Diesel tuning and have an EGT probe?.
3 - Do you own a laptop with a USB port and have good general PC knowledge?.
4 - Do you finally want to get rid of plug in modules and generic one size fits all tunes from your truck?.
5 - You are prepared to purchase the EFILive product (if not already owned) to conduct the beta testing with.
6 - You are prepared to sign and return a non-compete and confidentiality agreement with EFILive.

If yes to all the above, then please send an Email to - betadiesel@efilive.com with a brief bio of yourself or your company, all Emails will be treated
confidentially. Applications close on the 22nd of October, so be quick.

** LB7 Beta test applications are now closed **

Here's a taste of what is in store for all Duramax tuners come December.....

Thank you,

Wow! I know squat about diesels, but have been impressed with them ever since I saw a vid of a 10 sec pickup truck. Great looking dash pages! What's next, hybrids? :shock:

It's not so much the HP numbers (though some are way up there), it's torque, well over 1,000ft-lbs at those low Diesel RPM's.
Since doing the Duramax project I have a new found respect for Turbo Diesels.

Amazon is your friend....
The best Diesel forum is this one -
http://dieselplace.com/forum/index.php

US Patents site has some great info too, just search for Isuzu, they did all the diesel work for GM.

He he he, and diesel works by pinging anyway, so don't have to worry about spark advance or knock retard.

Aaahh lets see, I wonder what else we could get Ross to Finish, 'Oh I know', LS2.
There you go Ross, I hope this suggestion helps. :wink:

Cheers Scotty.

Guys,

I do a ton of work with the LLY motor and own one myself. Do you plan on software for that motor??

If so I would be interested in beta testing!!

Yes Howard, the first post states we are about to start LLY beta testing.
In any case, I'd say Mid Dec release for LLY.

Cheers,
Ross

Ross,

As if I haven't pulled enough hair out with that twin turbo C5.........how are you guys coming along with the LLY stuff? LOL!!!

I have at least three of us with modified LLY's that we can try some stuff with. I will never go back to a gas motor truck since buying a Duramax. 20 MPG , 14.50's in the 1/4 mile and pulls a 26' car trailer like nothing! :rockon:

We just upgraded our Allison trannys as they are the power limiting problem not the motors.

Please keep me posted!

Thanks

Howard

I took a break from the TT but will be checking a few more items. I'm sure I'll be dropping you a line.......

Grey hairs :hihi: , but seriously, well will be able to give you some results in the next few days I'm sure. I'm really looking forward to someone tinkering with the variable turbo controls.

I hear that alot from Diesel guys, especially those that run in the 13's & 12's.
