Strangely enough though...I've found there's very little info on getting started with the RR and RTACS.

You're right, there should be more info, and existing info should be collected together and made presentable...

I figured he could start by understanding how the base processes work first, and then jumping into RR/RTACS.

You're right Joe,
I guess I was just trying to save him some time searching.
I reckon I've read every thread in the whole forum.....6 times (some more) Lol!
It's only through help from members that I have been able to learn to use the RR.
It would be disappointing to have spent so much money and not have any idea how to use it.

[vxleather]

Thankx for the help guys, most happy to read anything you can suggest to get started, I have printed out the tutorials of the actual EFi live demo versions. Nothing realy on there about the RR...

Anyway my plan is learn to build a tune from scratch. I think to start with i will need to use a base tune to learn the basic then go back and build my own tune once understanding the cause and effect of each area of the motor and the relavante tables that effect these area's.


Keep the info coming most happy to read and listen..

Welcome to the forum vxleather.
Have a look on the holdencrazy site for tune files. You will be able to download modified files that others have done to help give you an idea on the necessary adjustments needed.

Got a point Howard. When I got my RR I didnt really know how to use it. I read a couple of snippets here and there in a few different threads and just played around with it.

Oh and HEY vxleather! We're hanging around the same haunts now...

Shane, its asteep learning curve and a blast at the same time.... all the learning is nearly as good as the new found power, you should also have a chat to geoff from ntae, he very helpful and switched on

Best money i ever spent on my car no rrunner here but:notacrook:

[vxleather]

Hi Luke, all the gear has been purchased threw Geoff.... and yes he has been very helpfull.....

We are going to have to have a little tuning convention here in the whitsundays i reckon,

[TAQuickness]

Welcome to the forum Shane!

The guys have already given you several good points in the right direction. Once you are familiar with the software and hardware the RR will help ease the learning curve a bit.

As you take on the various aspects of tuning, please post up any questions you may have.

Calais-346 - Welcome to the forum too!

Yeah, the trouble with the tropics is monsoons/cyclones, the islands get hit pretty hard.
