We are working on a more
complete page of our own, but for now, here are some files to view (note that
any comment about datalogging only applies to the RT, and not to the base
model):

http://www.shonutperformance.com/D4U1_BB.bin stock D4U1 binary (ATX SHO)
For the above 2, download the
latest software from the TwEECer site, install, and open the .bin files to look
at stock SHO settings.

The TwEECer software will also interface with an external datalogger to log external signals in the same logfile as the logged EEC parameters, such as a wideband (WB) O2 sensor and a MAP sensor, and now a G-force sensor on our Performance page ( http://www.plxdevices.com/Gsensor2Axis.htm
), or even just volts. These loggers are purchased from DataQ for $25 and plug into older laptops via the COM port http://www.dataq.com/194.htm (DB9
Serial COM for old laptops that actually have a COM port) or, for $50, for newer laptops that only have a USB port http://www.dataq.com/products/startkit/di148.htm
(USB COM).
http://www.shonutperformance.com/DataQ_Settings.gif - correct settings for the 194 DataQ and a PLX WB, GM 3 Bar MAP sensor, and PLX G-force sensor - simply don't check the channels you don't have. Remember to use 148 if you have a DI-148 instead of the DI-194 shown in the example. The first setting for each channel is the transfer curve, and the 2nd setting is the display location. HL and Run are only visible on the digital screen, and show up in the rightmost column of numbers (the labels don't match). If you are having ground offset issues, or need to make a custom transfer curve (such as the AutoMeter full sweep fuel pressure gauge as ATM-FP is no longer hard-coded) then select an unused transfer curve and edit the corresponding .DBF file in the Data directory of STKR 1.30, such as ZEITRONX.DBF, using EA or Excel. Some transfer curves are hard-coded and can't be edited (and thus their .DBF files don't appear in the Data directory). Use the Volts transfer curve to read the voltage input to the DataQ when checking for ground offsets, confirming the data points for a custom curve, or just reading volts in the 0-10V range. NOTE when enabling DataQ, you may have to make the changes, then close CalCon
BEFORE you try to log, and then re-open before trying to log. If you dont, sometimes you will get an
error when you try to log without saving the changes first by closing the program.
For a PLX M-200/250-300 WB, connect the black PLX wire to the ground terminal on the DataQ (as well as your power ground), and connect the white wire to Channel 1 on the DataQ. For the PLX SM-AFR, refer to this manual http://www.plxdevices.com/InstallationInstructions/SM-AFRUsersGuide.pdf page 3, and GND goes to the ground on the DataQ, while WB goes to Channel 1 on the DataQ.
NOTE do NOT install the
DataQ software unless you need to use it for looking at signals other than what
comes from your WB. Doing so will
over-write the CalCon UltimaSerial drivers with trial ones, so that you get
this message - http://www.shonutperformance.com/UltimaSerial.gif
If you have done this,
download this update and install the two .exes inside in order:
http://www.shonutperformance.com/UltimaSerialUpdate.zip
We also use and recommend the
EEC Analyzer software this software will analyze your TwEECer logs,
MAF curve, injector settings, ISC settings, and help you determine the correct
injector settings, give you a corrected MAF curve (based on either KAMRF or WB
feedback), and MUCH MUCH more. It does
all the math and mental work of getting your tune accurate, and allows you to
concentrate on tuning. Even if you
dont buy it right away, it has very well written explanations of injector
settings, MAF curve settings etc. etc. etc.
VERY well worth the purchase price.
We also use and recommend the
Binary Editor (BE) software this software is used to read and write to
the TwEECer and is more user-friendly and offers more features than the
CalEdit/CalCon software included with the TwEECer. We
offer support for the SHO for BE via Adam Marrer of POPS Racing (see below). It is also VERY well worth the purchase price.
For the X2J.cry and D4U1.cry
strategies for BE, please see below.

Adam Marrer has tuned nearly a
thousand vehicles, including SHO's. We
have been working closely with Adam Marrer to refine the V6 strategies for BE, so he comes
highly recommended by us as a tuner who is able to help people in a timely
fashion. Given the amount of work that
Adam Marrer has put into the X2J strategy for BE, INCLUDING detailed descriptions of/instructions
for each setting and numerous previously unknown settings, we have decided to
make the BE Strategies available as a paid service via Adam Marrer. You can get the X2J.cry strategy for
BE (and any subsequent updates) from either Adam or SHO NUT, but the strategy
must be registered by Adam to be functional.
A registration is to one machine (not a VM machine), and includes any future
updates. The fee schedule is as follows
(this fee represents a substantial discount compared to the usual charge for a BE
strategy from Adam Marrer):
Existing SHO NUT TwEECer
customers (including Midwest SHO, SHO Bros and SHO Source sales through SHO
NUT) for first-time TwEECer purchases prior to 5/12/10 $65
To pay this amount (the
payment goes directly to Adam Marrer), click here:
New SHO NUT TwEECer customers
(including SHO Source sales through SHO NUT) after 5/12/10 *or* people that bought a TwEECer 2nd hand that was originally bought via SHO NUT $110
To pay this amount (the
payment goes directly to Adam Marrer), click here:
Once you have paid the fee,
please contact Adam Marrer at the contact info above to get your strategy and
get it registered to your computer for BE.
If you are not a SHO NUT
TwEECer customer, or are looking for a D4U1 strategy, please contact Adam Marrer
directly via the contact info above.

filter setting (and RPM limits) - You'll need the latest X2J.DAT update from above
to use them properly. Rev limits are
