Right I have been reading through all sorts of info on the net and don't seem to be getting any clear results.
I maybe getting a Nistune board off a mate to fit into my ECU but questions are what do I need to be able to map it? Seen over on H-dev it says the software and USB cable is needed but at £200 for a program and £70 for a USB cable :shock: They can get real.!!
I bought a Consult plug and USB lead off ebay a while ago but haven't tried it out yet. Will that do for Nistune coms?
Also If I buy the software to Tune is that specific to me and my ECU only or will I be able to tune other Nistune ECU's??
Where is the best place to get the software??
So much simpler on Honda's.
Get Hondata ECU->Download Program->Dick about with Map->Mess it up then take it to someone who knows how to map properly.
Usually I would be all over getting every little bit of info I need from net sources myself but I think the fact of it seeming like I have to fork out more money to use something that costs to buy and it being just a piggyback chip that is fairly old hat these days is just pissing me off and making me just want to go buy a Mines ECU, an APEXI Power FC or something that most mappers will already have the software for.
Also on a second note can someone point me in the right direction of some Datascan / Consult programs to just Code scan and Data monitor etc. I so far the ones I have tried to download did nothing but Spam up my laptop with viruses.
