Finally messing around a bit
So far I've I've registered both program and my ostrich (paired) with no problems whatsoever. Thanks Calvin. The program is very user friendly so far and everything that I've messed with or tested so far have worked 100% to my knowledge. I'll just start off with some things that I really like about eCtune so far. First off I really like the Injector Cal window for it's ease of use. I like the fact that it's got your a/f displayed nice and huge instead of having to look off to the side like on some other programs. Also something small to add, I really like the + and - selectors, instead of having to manually type in numbers (I usually tune at night so numbers are sometimes hard to correctly punch in). Since I already talked about a/f display it brings me to my next positive for the system. A/F reading table, I like the fact that when you change a selection it automatically clears it out for you. This makes it alot easier to tune by yourself, since you won't be updating while your driving (hopefully). It also saves you from accidently double tuning a section you've already messed with. Next up is I love how the actual cell that the ecu is reading is highlighted realtime. This helped me alot with the iat and ect corrections. No guessing if it was close, because you can see what area is actually being used realtime. Also a big point is that the battery voltage actually works, checked it with a meter and it was dead on. This is great for those of you that can't find a meter atm. There's still alot more that I haven't commented on, those are just my big notes that I wrote down while tuning so far. There's just so many options and features that are outstanding, if I typed anymore my fingers will fall off. So far I've been very impressed with everything that I've had to mess with. Thanks again Calvin, and all those that helped to get the program to this point. You've all done an outstanding job. The only thing that I thought was odd was the verify rom. It doesn't verify, but I'm sure it's really only for the tuner version since the pro and diy version are only cal based/changeable. <---I don't know if I explained that correctly, it's late and my eyes hurt from typing this much. I just think anything that can't be used in a certain version should be greyed out. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which is probably the case

Cool. I am going to post a similar thread tomorrow when I finish my base tune. BTW, verify ROM didn't work for me either.
Well as everyone knows the verify and get rom bug has been fixed a while ago(Firmware). Just wanted to throw that out there in case someone just reads throughout the thread and doesn't have any background on this. I still have yet to really find any bugs what so ever. Also using the write-up provide by xenocron I added the necessary components to utilize the pwm features (electronic boost controller). It was a breeze to set-up after reading the same write-up and I actually noticed quicker spool up compared to my eboost 2. It was only about 2-300 rpm quicker, also the eboost 2 isn't a cheap boost controller so for eCtune to surpass it really made my day. Let me also add that it was alot easier to setup eCtune than the eboost (I hate the stupid little buttons and the holding of buttons while I'm driving). All in all eCtune is still working flawlessly. I just want to thank Calvin and everyone else that has helped along the way, and keep up the good work. Also, Calvin have you given any more thought to that idea I ran by you?

Alcohol idea?I'm debating it... Btw you have EBC working? Can you test something else?
