My guess is that you need to change a setting in your hardware management that allows your computer to see your USB port like a serial port. I am not exactly sure how you would do this. If you don't get an answer from anyone on the forum, then call Vortech on Monday.

If for some reason they tell you this method will not work. Then, tell them all the different ports you have on your laptop so they can suggest a different solution. I assume you have more than just a USB port on your laptop?

 

Vortech isn't going to know this, nor should they be responsible for laptop tech support.

Two things to remember:

(1) The ignition must be "almost on" as in turned to the last key position prior to actually starting the car.

(2) You must specify the COM port in the R4 software. It will not scan your COM ports. My USB-toSerial connector sometimes connects as COM5, sometimes as COM6. So I have to try various COM settings to connect.

I didnt think to try different [ com] it was on COM1 and thats where it was connecting before .I took back the Radio shack connector [$45.00] Ha....aint buying any thing from them any more . Going to Circut City and get on today

 

I was not suggesting that Vortech WAS “responsible for laptop tech support.” However, since it is their software and they may very well have encountered this issue before, then they may have a quick answer.

 

i think (am fairly sure) the blower max speed for this compressor is a bit higher than stated.....

 

As much as I like the Vortech kit this kind of results is what are going to make me go with a Franken-Ati kit

 

I wasn't trying to be a PIA, I was simply clarifying that it's not Vortech's software. It's SplitSecond software.

I got connected to the ECU and changed my settings and finished the timing maps .It shifts GREAAAAAAAAT right at 7,000rpm [by the last time at dyno would be 6,800rpm] Im I happy or what ????? Zimbo...I loaded your timing and took a little more timing out way up top [7,000 to 8,000 rpms] to be a little safer . Thanks every one for helping . There is no dead spot when shifting , and shifts strong .......ZImbo.... I loaded the settings....3,000 OR 2.5 PSI....and made sure they were still there before writing to the ECU . But when I opened the file and read what was on the ECU to save the file ...it came up 3,000 or 7 psi.....Just like when I open your file....DO you know why it does this ?

 

Congrats

 

so, you cancell your order for the procharger yet??

:^)


ps- i have an idea brewin for another s/c mod (i hope)

 

What make you think I wanted a ATI ???????

 

i got my pulley today, ill put it on asap and let you know what boost im getting

 

Be careful......your A/F is going to be off...as you are in different cells in your A/F map. My A/F was all over the place both pig rich and lean after the pulley change
