Can you post up a copy of your factory and current tune?
V2 or V1 ?
Innovate is not real precise in their explanation of how to install the LC-1 , but make sure and ground to engine block with two lugs or bolts same area .
V1 requires using LM Programmer to set up the Analog inputs for the V1 .
V2 can now do Digital .
Its not that hard. Firstly though, I would of learnt how to tune a stock engine first.Not a cam engine. Hooking up the wideband is the easy part.
You will need the latest firmware and digital cable to plug the innovate to the V2.
But since you are a newby to tuning, I would take the car and get it dynotuned, then learn the process of tuning with efilive slowly, as a lot of patience is required.:anitoof:
I agree with the initial concept here. Serious assistance on the learning process simply does not exist. Pieces of the puzzle do. Not easy with this tuner software to start from nothing and finally get tuned results. And when this happens, it is only initiative that accomplishes.
I dont know it can get any easier. We have software that is miles ahead of the rest. Tutorials that once followed will get you up & running safely. And not to forget some of the most knowledgeable & helpful people on this forum.Quote:

If this doesnt work you can always do the course at efi university.
Hope I don't sound like an @ss, but do you know that test that starts with the words: "Read the complete instructions"?Quote:

E.g., as for the free air calibration - I think somewhere either in the LC1/LM1 docs or the EFI docs, there's something saying that if the car had been standing for like a day or so without having been run, you can do the FAC, as the gases in the exhaust have been replaced by regular air ... so no, it isn't necessary to unplug the WBO2 again ...
So, my suggestion - to anybody: Instead of spending time doing stuff over, spend time reading docs and FAQs, make a list of "todo's", then go to your car ... that's the way I did ... now, I'm no car mechanic, but I was able to install the LC1 on my Firehawk beginning to end in about 3-4 hours, resulting in a nicely working WBO2, without any problems ... just following the EFILive-supplied LC-1 install instructions ... and that includes the required PIDs on EFILive V1, too ...
I bought EFIlive last summer, I installed dual LC-1's, it took me six months to figure out AutoVE, it was fustrating at times, but on the whole an enjoyable and satisfying experience.There are knowledgable people on here willing to help, not forgetting the EFIlive support.
Keen to pass on what i had learn't, i produced an AutoVE guide for the E40 LS2
NASABlue,
I didn't dare post yesterday. You were WILD and I knew with time you'd calm down!
I've worked on vehicles my entire life. My parents have pictures of me taking engines apart at 6 years old. I can fix about anything mechanically. Wife and I run a shop for import cars, mostly VW/Volvo/Audi.
I know fuel injection, carbs inside out. With that said, I offer you this. The learning curve for this software has been extremely slow for me. I've had this system over a year, I even travelled 4 hours and took the EFI university day course for the software. It was awesome but for the most part went over my head because I hadn't played with it enough before I took the training. Start slowly and read, read, read, google, research,yada yada yada.
I spent 20 hours last weekend fooling around doing autove and it's finally coming to me. I know what the engine needs but just can't figure out the software.
Be patient my friend as it will come.
As far as widebands go I wouldn't worry much about the heat shield. I've NEVER seen one factory installed on a VW, AUDI, or SUBARU that ALL use the same wide band sensor from Bosch. What I HAVE noticed about the LM1, LC1 is that it is not as bulletproof as the FJO wide band. I had another Volvo with a smallblock and Holley Commander 950 for 6 years with the FJO WBO2 and NEVER had a single problem or calibration issue with it. I realize the NTK sensor is much more money but it is well worth the cost. I knew this calibration thing would be an issue so made the install so it could be removed easily.
At our shop we change a fair amount of Bosch wide band 02s for emissions, drivability issues. HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE HONDA WIDE BAND NTK O2 (like the FJO system)GO BAD YET.
Oh and Gelf. Nice job on the tutorial. Without it I was headed for a tuner, ON THE TRAILER! Because my mix and match of parts wouldn't run. A HUGE part of EFIlive's success is due to guys like you and others who take the time from their busy life and post tutorials, spreadsheets, and links that make tuning much easier for guys like me who have enough trouble just opening an email!:banana:
Man...the guys on this forum are just too nice.
If you had come onto any other forum I know of speaking that way you would have been told to 'go away' (but maybe in more colourful terms).
I've been using EFILive for around 2 years now...and after a quick count just a minute ago.....Just in V7.5 (so not counting when previously using V 7.0) I have run 735 logs!
And....I'm still not happy with my tune!
Steep..STEEP learnig curve..but worth it...AND you won't find better than the guys on here OR the owners/programmers of the software!
7 months, maybe 8 now. I just got my idle fixed.Quote:
