My car is SD tuned by EFI live and i want to calibrate the tune
so i want to order EFI live but i want to know is there any additional things should i order so the EFI live could calibrate SD tuned car ?

Only the FlashScan product is required. Check the supported vehicles page (http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=100&Itemid=82) to see which FlashScan interface (V1 or V2) you "need".

Even if your vehicle is supported by FlashScan V1 I would recommend you consider FlashScan V2 for the following reasons:
- Continue to be supported in the next software version (V8). This is probably one of the most significant benefits with the version 8 software now under heavy development.
- Support for newer GM PCM/TCM controllers which require the CAN communications protocol. Supports all EFILive currently supported vehicles.
- If you are going to tune reasonable numbers of similar vehicles (i.e. LS1/LS6) you can purchase a Stream license that will enable unlimited tuning of specific controllers.
- Advanced stand alone capability (read/flash/scan/log) - still operates as a pass-thru like FlashScan V1 also. This standalone capability will be available as a free upgrade with future firmware (in beta now).
- Change to vehicle based licensing. This means a PCM and TCM of a vehicle (such as an LLY Duramax, or an LS2 Corvette) are considered as one vehicle, whereas under FlashScan V1 controller based licensing it is two PCM licenses. If you intend to tune more than perhaps 2-3 vehicles it will be more cost effective to go the FlashScan V2 route purely on the basis of overall costs.

thanks for fast answer
i will buy V2 today
i don't have any experience in tuning is there any reference or user guide in which i could start
i don't want to advance tuning in this step but i just want to tune my A/F ratio at part throttle because my car is rich
any advice will be appreciated
thanks in advance

This forum is going to be your best reference by far. There is a wealth of valuable information and knowledge available already, and the EFILive community here are exceptionally helpful.

Hi wesam, welcome to the forum...

V2 is a good choice, for the reasons that Andrew pointed out.


While you're waiting for it to ship, do this:

Install the V7 and V8 software from here: showthread.php?t=13550

See this tutorial: showthread.php?t=13152&page=5

Have a read thru these:

At some point you will want/need a wideband O2 lambda sensor.

Yep, look over the links Joe posted.

You will need a wideband O2 sensor from Innovate, AEM, etc in order to properly calibrate your fueling.

Well i ordered the FlashScan V2 and ordered the AEM UEGO wide band three days before
i expect the wide band to arrive after tomorrow hope my EFI live shipped soon
any help with attaching the AEM will be appreciated

[joecar]

Look up the AEM user manual for the serial cable pinout, post it here.

[wesam]

i had read all the AEM user manual but still don't know which one i will use the analog 0-5 volt output or the serial output with the EFI live ?

Go Serial and never look back!
