Dyno integration complete
Well, October has been a big month already at EFILive with Black Box Reading released, the LBZ DSP2/5 custom OS's released and now we are pleased to show off our latest achievement, yet another first for the GM tuning industry.
Going back some years EFILive was the first to release a USB based scanner for the LS1 that allowed the user to log the voltage from a wideband controller using our V1 hardware. Whilst this works well it has some drawbacks with voltage offsets and noise which may result in inaccurate AFR readings.
With the V2 hardware we were then able to introduce the logging of wideband controllers via the V2 hardware serial port. This completely eliminates problems of voltage offsets and noise issues.
Now we have gone many steps forward and have implemented total integration from the EFILive Scantool to the Dyno PC. This enhancement allows tuners to log dyno data within the EFILive scantool. Now you can log power figures, mixture data from gas analysers or any other device the Dyno PC is able to get inputs from. EFILive is also able to send the engine data back to the Dyno PC.
Most of these features are in the latest EFILive download as many have already noticed the new Dyno PID's, we expect a full stable release for both EFILive and the Mainline dyno PC to be out before we head off to SEMA.
Many thanks to the staff at Mainline / Dynolog for assisting with this project and Melbourne Performance Centre for allowing us to beat up on their car. We will be continuing to work with Dynolog on more exciting enhancements now that the dyno is talking to the scantool.
Below is the photo's of some real world testing of this enhancement.
All strapped on ready to make some noise.

And the end result, dyno data along side engine data
