sct livewire hookup?

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 07:55 PM

can some one please tell me how the sct livewire hooks up to your car . i have found tons of info on the tuner functions and capabilities but not how to hook it up. does it splice-in or is it a plug in type unit.

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 07:56 PM

it plugs into your obd2 port located under the steering wheel next to the center console.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:01 PM

so you can run with this all the time?

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:02 PM

yup.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:03 PM

i am thinking of getting one of these instead of the xcal3, any reason not to.

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:04 PM

no. the live wire is great.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:05 PM

are these worth getting even though i currently have very few mods, knowing more mods are coming.

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:07 PM

well basically all it does extra is show you your live data.

after market gauges can do the same thing.

Doc8224 · July 27th, 2008, 08:07 PM

O yea. If you wanna spend the money for em they are great. And you can tune for your new mods when you get em.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:10 PM

but i think this has the cool factor over a/m gauges. also can these handle most mods, say up to a s/c or turbo. it seems like this is the road i am on to mod my stang. i need more power in the 3-5 gear range.

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:11 PM

of course they can pending you knowing how to tune your car.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:13 PM

well isnt tuning simplified with this type of device, or am i going to need a tuners help with the more wild mods? should i not be able to retune for most bolt ons myself.

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:21 PM

no. tuning is not an easy task at all man.
one little fuck up can cost you your motor. esp if using a power adder.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:25 PM

ok is there a "tuning for dummies" one could read to make sense of it all. how do you know a reputable tuner from a bad one. where did they get started?

Doc8224 · July 27th, 2008, 08:26 PM

A good tuner can help you as well. If you go get a dyno tune they can put it on the livewire just like a x2 or x3

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:27 PM

if you want the live wire go with Joe from Trick Tuners. I had my car tuned by him and was VERY pleased.
he is a vendor here and you get 2 years of free retunes if you buy the live wire from him.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:34 PM

yeah ive seen several people with his tunes. but how would one go about getting started tuning . there are no tuners here in my neck of the woods, say less than 2hrs drive. plus i am the kind of person that does all my work myself, kind of a perfectionist to a fault. when i do get somethng done i'm right there watching their every move.

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:35 PM

click the e-mail link in my sig to get started.

TROJENHORSE · July 27th, 2008, 08:38 PM

HMUSN · July 27th, 2008, 08:39 PM
