Thread: series 3?

i know th guys on here were telling me the hp tuners came in a dic format to instal in a lap top and the mre expensive one were you dnt need a lap top. eater way i wish super chips made one for our cars. so what could happen if i install the heads injecters and sc and still hav my 3800 tuned pcm?

HPT as far as tuning is always a laptop involved affair. Pro allows scanning without the laptop, but you won't see the numbers real time.


As far as doing the swap without a tune?
Quit trying to be a cheapass. Do it right or don't do it at all.

Here's what CAN happen.

Superchips is gay...mega gay. I agree with the do it right or not at all. I've said it before and ill say it again. If your not willing to drop the coin you have no buisness modding. Point blank

i dnt have a problem ding it i just asumed the tune the tuners frm 3800 and zzp gave were already tuned for this kind of setup. its pretty fun stuff but after this car im getting a 71 cuda. hats were the fun is lol

NA tune does not equal SC tune

Even a stock SC tune would suck in a top swap.

An in car tune on any platform is where its at. Box tunes are cheap and for people whp have an intake and exhaust. If you wanna play with the big boys your gonna need to not rely on vendors

sounds good to me.

ok so i looked up the hp tuner. it says i cant just plug it int my lap top t my car i need a wideband kit that suplies 0-5 v output. heres what the site says.

What does the MPVI Pro interface allow me to do over the Standard Version?
With the Pro interface, you can integrate 0-5v signals from various sensors such as EGT, Wide Band, fuel pressure and others right into the scanner. You will have real time data from those sensors right next to your standard scan tool data such as TPS, RPM, MPH, etc.

The MPVI Pro interface also has black box data datalogging of up to 1hr 30mins built in. What this means is you are able to scan your vehicle without the use of a laptop using the interfaces record button. You can then take the interface into your home to transfer the log contents from the interface to the computer. If you have an MPVI Pro it will require no hardware modification. Also note that VCM Scanner comes with both interfaces regardless as it is part of our VCM Suite package.

Can I buy a wide band sensor and simply plug it in?
No. You need a wide band kit that supplies a 0-5v output. You will plug the output from your wide band controller into the interface.

Is a Wideband Sensor & Controller included with the MPVI Pro?
No. You would need to purchase this separately from a company such as Innovate Motorsports, PLX, AEM, etc.

Wideband would be the best way to tune it, yeah.
