so i assume its running the 808 wiring etc on the ecotec ? if so sounds very similar to my torana, have a look in the custom tunes area there is a ecotec 808 tune i posted up there, might give you an idea of what you need to do ...

yea i downloaded yours i got the ac stuff conectec will it work with your tune i opend your tune with ose$12p_v101_1.xdf is that correct so far

[holden08]

i just dont know what parts in the file to change if i have too thats all is there a website that teaches you how to tune and stuff thanks

Yeah its call delcohacking.net sorry jokes aside it is not simple, you'll need to read and read some more, and if you ask questions, you need to be more specific than 'how to tune'. We can answer specific questions, but general 'how do i tune?' is too wide, and covers basically all the information on the site and then some.

http://www.google.co.nz/search?client=o ... el=suggest start reading LOL when you get to the end of the 35000 pages you should have a grasp of what to do

ive been reading up but i cant find anything that says anything about what to do when making changes when you tune. sorry to bug every body lol every one is prob rolling their eyes.

well, what have you changed on the engine that makes you need a new tune? or what do you wamt to change and why?

hi antus ive got a vp commodore with the vp gearbox on the ecotec v6 and running the vp ecu it pings when i put foot down just wanted to set it up bit better for the ecotec that all and get little bit more out of the engine

not quite, you need to use v1.00 xdf for that file.

now with regards to your pinging issue, you will find that the spark table in my ecotec tune is much more suited to what you need.

any of the 808 based V6 tunes have far too much spark advance for the ecotec, i've spent alot of time logging with the ecotec with a map sensor on it (my brothers car) to get enough info to make a spark table that works with the ecotec on an 808!

depending on your setup you might find that you'll need to adjust the VE table too, i had an exhaust on mine and it needed a bit of work!
