Thread: Beginners Guide to Chipped ECU Tuning

I just purchased a used B13 Realtime V1 off a forum member. I'm a total noob at this. None of the driver links are working for me. I've already downloaded Tunerpro. I don't know what else I need. Can anyone help me?

Just updated the first post with a generic link (one that shouldn't be taken down)

Quick question, are the drivers for the ECU or for my computer? If they're on the ECU they should already be installed since I've already installed the ECU and have been driving on it. I just need to be able to pull codes since it's throwing the check engine light.

Drivers are for your PC, so that it can talk to the ECU.

Added screen shots and more instructions on how to modify the basics of a tune. Let me know if you guys want to more information on any specifics.

I went to use a newer laptop that I picked up yesterday. DLed tunerpro and it's totally different than the one on my old laptop. Took me a few minutes to figure out what was what lol.

Yup took me a bit to get used to TunerPro5, it's it's a good upgrade.

Does it do anything more than the old stuff? I only looked at it long enough to adjust teh timing.

I need to know how to datalog and pull codes. What program is the best to use? And I'm not even sure the drivers I downloaded worked. I double clicked it and it just said drivers installed, but when I plugged in the RT I didn't know what to do to see if it worked or not.

It does some, but it also has a bit better usability. Once again a bit of a relearning curve, but pretty good after that.



TunerPro is only for modifying the bin, UNLESS you have TunerCode, then Dave gives you the definitions file to datalog and pull codes and other very sweet stuff.

Your best bet is to buy Nissan Data Scan, I've used it for years before I had TunerCode. Now that I have TunerCode, there is no way I can go back .
