I bought a 90 coupe with a 85 TC motor 88 TC trans and PiMPx. Car runs ok but came as is. No thumb drive no information no software. What software is best and where can I get the info that came with the PiMPx new? Any good tuners in Ohio? I have been doing some reading on here and Im not sure Im up for the task lol

Congrats on your purchase. We sell an accessory pack to allow you to get the stuff you don't have. It comes in multiple versions as it seems each original owner manages give/not give different required "stuff". www.stinger-performance.com/store/pimp-accessory-packThe ECU came with the USB (which came with the tuning software, log viewer, software license, base tune, startup guide, etc.), jumpers, tuning cable, MAP hose, and a sticker. You'll need to compare this list to what you have to figure out which version of the accessory pack you need. You'll need a license as that's what allows you to use "auto tune". 99% of users are "up to the task" if they are willing and able to read directions and learn a new skill. The hardest part is already done for you (it already runs/drives OK). |

Oh and the sticker lol So I would need the base kit + TunerStudio License ? Has a AEM wideband gauge but not sure if its run into the PiMPx or is just installed usual way..??.. I have NO issue swapping it out for a better setup ! Im willing to learn anything. Machinist by trade and run CNCs so Im ok with computers lol What would the best set up be as far as software and wideband?? |

Yes, that's what you'd need.
The AEM wideband is fine, I'm sure it's wired to the ECU.
There is no best setup for for software, there is just TunerStudio which is what we offer.

Free is the feature limited version of the $50 one without the license (no auto tune and other useful features). Ultra is "needed" by only the most advanced users (and even then, it's not "needed, it's just something those people can use).

Order received thank you very much. I got it plugged in and was able to figure out a few things with some help from a buddy. Car runs pretty well, few issues need addressed but the main thing we noticed is MAX of 204.6 kpa was datalogged but that seems WAY high and the gauge never went past 15 or so. 30 psi out of a stock IHI turbo dont seem right lol

Overboost protection is set to about 21psi so it didn't exceed that. 30psi is a little over 300kPa. Atmospheric is nearly 100kPa and that's the part you're not factoring into your calculation. The FAQ thread has a kPa to PSI calculator, and TunerStudio can display a boost gauge.

Still have a ton of learning and questions I will be posting lol |
