Hi guys.Ive been reading lots about EFILive and purchased the scan only tool a couple of weeks back. Im about to update to the tune tool as well this arvo.
I have a couple of newbie q's.
I have a VYSS M6 holden that has the following mods.
222/224 112 Comp Cam, 25 pulley 84mm Starr t/b.
4-1 headers, hi flo cats and 3.5" exhaust.
It has been tuned already but HP tuners was used. Not sure if its a custom OS but if I've read correctly, FC and HP arent compatible and I cant tune my current pcm. Its a pretty good tune but I am pretty sure there is some more HP and soem other tweeaks with idle to be had in there.
I have two spare pcms one of which has a stock VY SS A4 program in it that is out of a mates car.
1. If I were to use this pcm and update it with a Custom O/S from FC, will I be able to sucessfully change the vin # to my original and get it all linked up properly. I was thinking of loading a base 04 M6 GTS tune that is already using a FC custom OS and tweaking it from there as required.
2. Does the EFILive licence link to the PCM or the vin. Obviously I dont want to waste a licence by doing the above pcm swap (if its indeed possible)
3. I can read other vehicles tunes and download them without having to worry about licencess cant I?
Sorry for the newbie q's but Ive been reading this forum now for almost 2 weeks straight and Im getting square eyes. I just had spinal surgery, so time is on my side for a while.
Cheers. Grant
