well test are negative..we tried but the ecm does not allow access for hptuners..sorry boys trifecta and ls2 edit are our only options

 

**** it ill let paul try it on my balt tonight just for kicks

 

hel get as far as pluggun it in but when it tries to gain access to the vcm it denies it..we tried a couple times and tried a diff rout but both times access was denied...how ever vince unlocked the vcm,,hes a ******* genius lol..well see if paul can work his magic fingers

 

please......god.......someone figure this out............has anyone even called hpt yet ? iv been hearing about trifecta for too long...not knocking their business or ne thing but confused as to how a tuning software company hasnt cracked it despite repeated requests.....i emailed them a few months ago and the reply i got was that they were still working on it and qiute a few others....that were to be released ....soon.... and if the ecm is supported why wouldnt the cobalt be supported...software?

 

doesn't work, tried it last night

 

damn that sucks. well i will be emailing marty again tonight and telling him what happend. maybe he has another solution

 

hpt is full of ****. they lie to everyone that emails them bout workin on it. they told me at te first of last year to email them back in a few months cuz they was workin on it yet here it is a year later and nothin but the same emails to someone else sayin they are workin on it.

 

yup i wish it would of worked when we tried it..i have a nice p0420 code todelete haha

 

i just e-mailed them like 2 hours ago to see whats up with them...

 

hpt should contact vince with trifecta and work out a price for the magic code so hpt can tune :-P

might be a pretty penny though haha

 

Would you guys stop bothering HPT. They are not going to do anything about the E16a. They have better things to do with their time. So please stop wasting your time trying to convince them.

If your an 07, use LS2Edit. Its the same thing but not as fancy looking and costs the same.

 

i would prefer and HPT since i know for a fact what it can do.......just look at 06blackg85ss

and i rele do not want to "mail-order" a tune

 

why? why email them agian when everybody on this site has before and we all get the same bullshit from them each time. they give us the "try back in a few months we're workin on it". all you're doin a beatin a dead horse.

 

What your missing is that it doesnt matter what paul did to his car because thats a completely different ECM. Even if HPT cracked it doesnt mean you will have all the same features because they are limited to what the ECM OS can do and i can guarantee you that the LSJ PCM is a hell of a lot better then yours.

If you have an 07, go LS2Edit and quit crying already please. At least you have software out there...

 

ya its true but whats it cost and i dont know how to tune......

and paul knows how to tune and has the HPT platform........so if HPT would support 2.2s it would make life easier thats all im saying

 

It costs $500-$600. I cant remember exactly but i know its not any more then $600, so its damn close to HPT's cost. If paul can tune with HPT im sure he can adapt a little to LS2Edit. There are screen shots of it around here somewhere, do a search.

 

i dk how much paul would do it for but its less then that..........maybe i should get the LS2 edit have paul help me out with it and then tune all the local 2.2s and make some bank :-)

 

I may pick up LS2 edit sometime in the spring sinceit looks like htp won't support it, plus there are some features of ls2 edit that hpt doesn't support

 

well if you get LS2 edit your might have to make a trip to AZ

 

^x2 but to cali

 

while i agree, it sounds like most of these people are referring to the E37 not the E16a
it would be nice to be able to retune right now withough throwing down another $275... thats too much money just for a tune swap from 42lbers to 60lbers

 

who charges 275 for a retune? if you think vince charges that much you need to check again.. update fees are 100 bux from what i remember

 

i was under the impression minor tweaks would be $100, such as code removal or slight alterations, but a full retune would be full price

 

yeah...i just checked out the ls2edit page.... http://carputing.tripod.com/index.htm .... and googled it and for the price it seems like a damn good deal...not sure about the support tho..it sounds like its more for the xperienced tweaker....but imma keep looking to see if i can find help for the rest of us noobs

 

major upgrades are the new fee.. like boost, or cams or something of that nature.. i would think a pulley/ injector swap is only 100 bux those aren't hard things to change once you have a base tune
