If you do not have a laptop, is it still possible for me to use a regular PC to run the EMS?

 

yes, I did that for a while before I got the laptop. Dont forget to unplug the cable before you leave the garage...

doh! a laptop is much nicer. i tune idle, start, light acceleration, part throttle in a huge parking lot.

version 1.0 is right around the corner. at least they're being honest about the time frame instead of saying "next week" every week.

 

what are they planning on donig to convert the older versions to the 1.o???

 

Hehe, PC. Look around Ebay for a laptop, or even the classifides here--they pop up from time to time.

I cant wait for 1.0 !!!!

 

I think you'll need to go... .73 -&gt; .89 -&gt; .94 -&gt; 1.00

At least I think I recall reading that on their forum, that you can't upgrade really old maps directly to 1.00, just as you couldn't do it in the past.

not tuning the car while the aem is not in the car *shudder*

 

lol no joke it will take 5x as long to tune if you have to do it that way.

Just move the PC into the garage for the time being

 

it'd be like.... hmm ok start the datalog.... do a run.... have to back out, hit boost and a/f's jump to like 14:1 under boost... blow the plugs from going to lean... take ems out, add fuel replace the plugs.... rinse repeat...

I guess you could setup and use auto tune, but even then...

 

lol yea or just get a 2000 ft serial cable, walkie talkies and a friend.

done

 

Or get one of those adapters for the cigarette lighter that allow you to use the standard plug from a computer in your car.

 

will that work?

yes i am using a power inverter plugged into the cig. lighter also. mine is an older crappy converter and i have an older crappy laptop that sucks a lot of power so it only works when the car is running, otherwise the power inverter just cuts out.
