EFILive from HPTuners
Hello! First post!
I've been building and tuning f/i cars for 15 years. I'm a computer scientist by trade, working in machine learning. My tuning background is mostly piggyback (SAFC) and standalone (Megasquirt).
After a couple of weeks trying to get HPTuners to let me increase boost, I turned to efilive which seems to have several important tables defined which HPTuners doesn't support. HPTuners support was rude and disregarded this ("we don't provide support for tuning"). :(
I'm currently tuning a Vanderhall Carmel GT with upgraded turbo, billet piston driven waste gate actuator, and billet piston driven recirculation valve.
The Vanderhall comes with a GM Small Gas Engine 1.5 turbo. I'm unsure of the exact variant. I would love it if anyone knows how to identify that. They claim 193 hp/208 ft lb but the stock tune dyno indicates that is BS. It also has pretty extreme cold start fueling issues from the factory.
It has an E80A/T76.
TL;DR
Any tips on the software itself? I've already discovered the hotkeys and the favorites list, which is nice. I think the favorites list is limited though. :(
