One for the Wortec people

[gsd2000]

I currently have a wortec tune on my cv8, and i plan to tune my car myself using efi live. I have heard that my ecu maybe locked, due to the Wortec tune.

Is this true?

If so how do i unlock the ecu?

Do i have to pay someone like monkfish to unlock it?

Thankyou

I think the guys have done it for others before. But you might find its unlocked anyway.
Either way Im sure they will sort you out. Its your ECU afterall

I'm not sure about this but i think it may be locked. I don't however see why you would need to pay anyone to unlock it as you own the tune. You paid for it. As i say i may very well be wrong
























But not normally

How would i know if its unlocked?

Do i need to plug the EFI live scantool in to find out or is there another way?

Plug up your EFI and it will attempt to access your tune. If it rejects you its locked.

it just that i havent got efi live yet. i was planning on buying it in march before thunder road, so i could do some high speed data logging. I just wanted to find out if i was going to have problems if the ecu was locked, and how to unlock it, and unlocking timescale, thats all

Yep correct. Just ask anyone with efi around you to see if they can read out the tune. If so you are good to go. The process doesnt take a license. You can flash it back to stock and start over which is usually best.
If you are at the Ace I can read it for you... though Ive just remembered Im going Hiking in Surrey that weekend!

You stand 'em up, we'll knock 'em down.

GSD. Give me a call and I'll hook up the efilive for you to check. If Wortec, it will be HPT and may well be locked.

If it is HPT they may unlock it for you on request, so that you can develop your tune???

You need a copy of it anyway so that if you have a problem you can go back to it at any time.

Not this weekend though, as I'm busy.

I've got HPT and will be at autosport on Sunday if that helps.
