Tuning file conversion question...........

[FreddyG]

Hi Guys!

If I had some major mod work done to my car and the tuner used HP Tuner to tune it (as a newbie, I'm scared to screw something up), how would I be able to get into it to change something once I became more proficient at tuning?

Are there any programs that can convert HP Tuners files to be read in EfiLive?

Can I still scan using the scan tool if the tune was written with HP Tuners?

Thanks in advance!:cheers:

No programs to convert tune files. Both EFILive and HP Tuners store the data in proprietary formats.

If the tune is a stock/factory Operating System (not a HPT Custom OS) you will just be able to read it out of the PCM, assuming it isn't locked.

If it is a HPT Custom OS you are screwed and will have to start again.

I would assume scanning to be OK, but it may depend on the OS you actually have. Never tried scanning an HPT Custom OS for instance ;)

Thanks for the quick reply Tordne! I got it!:cheers:

Scanning of over 105kPA for MAP is different between HPT and EFILive. If its running a HPT Custom OS I found the standard efilive GM.MAP PID will not read boost pressure.
