How do I get the patch? Should I just reload the latest version from the first page?

The "patch" is just a new feature that will be in the next version, 1.0.9, which has a TBD release date.

Thanks for the donation ... it really helps out. Its the first one in a while If anyone else has a bug to report please let me know.
I am surprised that you have not been recieveing more donations...

Just 3 dyno pulls cost me $75 or $150 and hour. With this software I don't need to spend that money to tune any more and I plan to use it way more than that....

Thank you again for your support of the community!

Me trying to enhance my "professionnal tune"
I never tought I would have to learn how to tune but my car wasn't running that great so I'm trying my best

- 98RON (like your 93oct I think)
- fpgreenhta
- 24psi@3500 slowly decreasing to 21psi@7500
- GSC s1
- modded airbox (except on the brown where I tested an apexi power intake)
- stock intercooler

will gladly donate....at the end of the month

Looks like you made some good gains! I found the same thing when I had to go back and fix my old tune. It is nice not to have to dump money into dyno time. I also like it that I can check my power levels at any time (no appointment needed).

Many thanks for the positive and clear e-mails Brad. I am looking forward to that fix for Halo and will definitely send a supportive donation your way afterward

Here is the plot from a rough, two-hour tune on an E85-fueled 3000GT VR-4 with factory MAS:

VD in DJ; tuned on GReddy e-Manage Ultimate; NO AFR tracking or OTS!

Well, I used this software again this Wednesday with some great success on a Toyota Supra after hacking the new folder structure and XML files to get the information for a Supra in there. On low boost and quite conservative tuning due to voltage drop and fueling issues with this car which look to be caused by a weak alternator and the need for a HO Alt. This is due to triple Denso pumps, several gauges, a touch screen navigation system, and some amp intensive radiator fans.

Anyway car started at about 540hp (with a tested trap speed of 137mph) when graphed with Virtual Dyno and ended up at a best of 814hp just working the timing map. I already had a strong base map on the car and made some very minor fueling adjustments also. It's been an evolution on this car due to many issues and quirks that have really put tuning on hold countless times.

Just wanted to reiterate like I have before, great job Brad this software is great and makes our lives easier! Still hope to see Supra information officially added to the program when possible, if you need that information I have it handy for the 94+ 6 Speed…

Hey if you have the supra information Ive asked on the supra forums for the information with no success. That means that supra support is one email away. Send me the file you used in the new XML structure and that will make it even easier. Id love to support even more vehicles but I dont have the time to do all the research on all of them. Im pressed for coding time so that usually wins the battle between coding and research. Ive been looking for someone in the supra world to get the supra info for me so that I can spread the VD around the supra world. How exciting!!!

Sorry to everyone else ... Im excited and have had very little sleep, too many Skittles, and done a lot of driving today. (Thats my excuse anyway)

Is there a way to print the graph horizontally? I printed my chart but it comes out on the page vertically like a letter.

wizzo ... that is the first intelligent idea Ive heard from you ... no just kidding. I think Ill look into adding that if I can. Depends on the limitations of that graphing library Im using but Ill definately look into that.

Ill put that on my todo list for my trip to florida saturday. Thanks for the suggestion, Ill keep ya posted.

Yea sorry Im not the brightest crayon in the box. Thats why my buddys call me Wizzo. Im surprised know one else said anything about this. After about a year of having no ink for my printer I finally got some to print my chart and noticed this. Wife tells me I can go to print set up but that doesnt work either since its not an option. Keep up the good work. As soon as Im done with my build I will be giving you a donation for your contribution to Evom. Thanks

In your printing settings, you can change it to landscape.

Were is the info on how do you use it. Do you have to hook it up to your car or do you just put in what you have done to it.
