So I'm starting this because I would like to learn. Im sure there are many others that would like to also. I don't think our members should be monopolized. But please do not take offense to this. We need to share our experience. I said it on the maps thread, and I'll say it here. It's about paying it forward. I believe we also should have another section or article on only fuel management. So that being said, let's hear about what your doing and why?
For tuning software what are you all using, why are you using it. It's very important we discuss this in a manner that everyone can understand. Not everyone can or will pick up the information instantly. So let's be kind to one another. Especially when we start getting those like my self wanting to learn and asking a lot of questions that may or may not be obvious to us.
Things that should be listed
Ease of use: beginners, intermediate, advanced, and the occasional WTF.
Payment: free, paid
Program use: trial, full, partial until paid upgrade
What does it look like: dos type, matrix movie coding, fluffy clouds and unicorns. Pun intended hopefully you get the point
What the software is for: universal, specific, (one or more)
Things to be aware of when choosing?
We also should create a simple go to for common setups.
Example: most members try to crawl through the threads. Looking for scattered info. And I must say you guys have done an awesome job on consolidation. It's just the other specific details that get over looked or just aren't mentioned. By of which none is any one's fault.
Things that should be listed. Purely example
B3 common setups.
If this range of injectors...probably use this fmu... with this ratio...
B6 common setups
If using the b3 full b3 wiring...
B6D common setups

I think you all get the point. We should limit our selves to common mods that are popular and maybe not so much on the absolute custom. Reading about these things can be very very time consuming. So I believe that if we are to just list the parts as I did in the above examples. Our visual cues would be more responsive to finding them, if that makes sense. When we list things all together in a wrap around text things start getting over looked. I do realize that this is a daunting task but for those who know the common setups can easily list the suggestions and their variables. Then we could compile them together to be untouched.
Anyone one that says Google is your friend. They need to realize that you are right but Google is not specific content to our specific cars. And this is the site to specifically research about our needs. Just had to put it out there cause it always comes up.
Now on another part. My car. I will put it out there I know I need a wideband. I'm working on it. Shadetree and I did some beautiful work on this beast. I will not be posting any pics because of third party apps. It sucks and too much work rather than just clicking upload. But anyway. I have a fully rebuilt 91egt engine, full Capri electronics, stock Capri turbo, rocketman b6t ECU, Wal 255 external pump, stock unmodded Carby gas tank, and I'm sure some other stuff I'm forgetting right now. But my fuel is really rich. Cause I can smell it. Which is why I need wideband. So after I get it. I would like to get better fuel management. I would rather go with something like mega squirt but it doesn't have to be. Which is why not only for my own benefit. I would like to see listed options for all of our members to see and for my self. I really hope that this will take off and not just fall on it's face.
