Hp Tuners - Australian Ford Beta Begins!

[steetf6]

it takes the same time as a capa flash box

[F6_jase]

and how much for the setup?

[steetf6]

$1563.10 which includes enough ford credits to do one car, Greg from vcm said it wont work on FG's yet but I haven't tried

[F6_jase]

yeh, a little bit exy still mate as the capa x-cal 2 + custom tune is only $1200 and you can adjust your parameters via laptop to an extent

[steetf6]

yeah and with the flash box you get 3 tunes, which makes it good if you share the car.

I like new products but this one has a long way to go yet

Hi guys, Chris here from HP Tuners. We don't sponsor this forum so I'm not sure how we go here but anyway just wanted to clear a few things up from the posts above. If this is against the rules of the forum I apologise in advance.

Our product starts at $US 499 (for local prices please contact Greg). It includes 8 credits in this base price which is enough to tune 4 vehicles (each is 2 credits). If you are an existing customer with the MPVI interface you can be up and running for the price of 2 credits ($US100). Once a vehicle is licensed you can re-tune it as many times as you want there is no additional cost. The base package also includes scanner capabilty. There are also workshop year based licenses that encompass entire years (eg 2005) which means you can tune any 2005 aussie ford vehicles we support.

At present we are in beta release, looking to get to general release in the next month. FG support is also available however at present we only have a small number of calibrations completed so there may be delays in supporting a particular vehicle, but you can read the PCM and send us the file. Reading a PCM doesn't require you to license the vehicle.

As mentioned like others we don't support the 6sp auto yet, but are investigating it right now.

I don't have any feedback from beta testers that essential tables are missing, please feel free to email me or our support address with specifics if possible.

vcm said you need ford credits and the ones that come with the software will not tune fords, plus you need 4 credits to tune a ford

There are torque tables missing and also normaliser tables

it is true we do divide the credits as Ford & GM. However, we have a base GM *and* a base Ford part #. ie. the GM part comes with 8 GM credits, the base Ford part comes with 8 Ford credits @ $US 499. So you order the base Ford part if you are tuning mostly Fords. The advantage of the system is you can tune either GM or Ford (soon Dodge) using the same software and hardware.

Ford credits will be 2 for single vehicle and 30 for the year model. The initial beta was 4 credits for single but that is changing next week to 2 credits based on beta customer feedback.

I'll look into the torque tables, but as I said I have no feedback on that in particular at this stage.

All the normaliser tables are there, you just need to click the underlined table axis and it will open for editing.
