    Default What's the Best way to go from a HPTuners Custom OS to EFI Live COS?

    I am considering making the switch from HPTuners to EFILive - I have used HP Tuners for years on several cars. I have some new projects that EFI Live would be helpful with but I have one existing car with a lot of tuning time into it that I would want to change over. It is a LS1 0411 2 bar SD tune.

    From what I can gather there s no way to convert directly from a HP Tuners custom OS to EFI Live, does that mean that I have to go table by table and manually make the switch? Not a huge problem but a PITA.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Total re-flash and re-enter all data.

    What I do in those situations is flash the pcm back to stock with HPT, compare the stock tune to my HPT 2 bar tune and copy over everything that will copy. Theres only a couple things that don't copy like your VE table. I then flash that into the pcm with HPT and read it out with EFI Live. Its not 100% perfect but it saves you some time vs copying everything table by table. Then in efi live compare your new (hpt tune) to stock and check all the tables that are different to make sure they look right. It takes a little time but its better than hand copying every table.

    Great idea. Thanks.

    I was hoping for an automated solution but it looks like there isn't one.
