Hey guys im new to PHP forum and interested in the minotaur package, what are the limits to tuning yourself? I understand that you can change un- encrypted files to your personal needs but can i say change for custom injectors without having bill write me a program?

You can do WHATEVER you heart desires with the Minotaur, splits to singles, singles to splits, big or small, whatever!

All you need to write your own programs is a definition's package for your PCM (included with Minotaur), with that you can write as many programs as you wish...................the possibilities are endless.

BSD,

I got your e-mail yesterday but haven't had a chance to respond to it yet. If you'd like to get the 3-day temp license, I'll be happy to set you up. Keep in mind that the temp license doesn't come with a diesel strategy, it comes with an older ('96) Mustang strategy. This is just to help get a feel for the software and the interface.

In regards to the diesel strategies, there are no limitations in the software. This means that is you push something to far (for instance, too much Start of Injection timing) you could very easily damage your engine. The same goes for the transmission. Using the tuning software requires that you have a solid foundation in fundamental combustion processes and more specifically, diesel combustion. If you are at all concerned about your tuning capabilities, then you may want not want to get into something this flexible.

If you'd like to discuss this further, I'll be in the office between 12:00 and 5:00 today and would be happy to explain the software.

Take care.

Yeah that would be great I somehow screwed up my password last night for my email so I will have to try everything over the phone and yes I completely understand I could mess stuff up and I know alot about diesels I have built my own compound set ups and built my own motors rebuilt manual transes and T-cases Im just sick of every time I want to try something else I have to send out my chip or programmer and have someone else play the trial and error game when I can vary well do the same thing myself with some practice. I will be calling from a 630 317 number to order and get that code from you. thanks and look forward to working more with you guys on the forum.
