Bought a used Dell for $100. Had the minimum needed by HPT. Whatever you guys get, make sure it has good connectors! You don't want disconnects in the middle of a flash.
For $80, that's pretty good for a tuning laptop. I tune on my Surface 7 Pro i5, but if I needed a cheap dedicated tuning device, this is something I'd look at...assuming it doesn't have issues locking up, shutting down randomly, etc. as reliability is important on a tuning tablet.
I tuned on an Acer Aspire One netbook that cost me $60 for many years. I could leave it in my truck and not have to worry so much about it getting stolen. The downside of cheap laptops is just the screen size and the booting up time w/o an SSD. But if you can get a bigger screen, illuminated keyboard and one with an SSD, then thats all you really need.. If you have a weak processor, it also sucks less battery power to run it.
That’s what I use for my Holley Term X
Dang!! I just noticed ur bout to hit 15k subs. Congrats n u da man! Thanks for everything u teach us
It’s taking much longer bc you have a screen recorder on it’s taking up you’re ram,(probably between 100-200) mb vram, and cpu usage so recording the screen with software was bad idea for real time but it’s probably much easier without recording on it.
I think this video is very helpful it definitely lets people see the basics on what we need to get your foot in the door thank you this also shows people that they probably already have a device at home that can get them started keep up the good work man👍👌👈😂
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Yo I’m a 14 yr old and I’m interested in learning how to tune but I’m on a strict budget what are some of the best tips you guys have to get into it
I love this question!! Okay, first you want to narrow your car field down, figure out what you can afford out of the cars you like then you want to dive into what tuning platforms are available for those cars, that will let you dig into what is available for tuning and how feature rich the programs are. That will allow you to see what options are available and help to inform your decision.
@@GoatRopeGarage ok I have a 2010 Honda Accord what are the recommended cheap tuning programs for that
@@GoatRopeGarage yea same I have a bmw E46 and wanna know what are good programs to start on
My hp2000 crapped on me, so bought a lenovo. Well it crapped on me too so i bought a chromebook. Was outta date amd had no updates to fix its bugs. So i just bought an hp stream 14. Hopefully it holds up!
Witch one cable use from pc to car?
Great info Kyle. I have been looking at these kind of tablets, just for tuning.
what kind of ob2 plug do i need to connect to computer because i bought one and then read the reviews and it turns out it wouldn’t work so what kind do i need to purchase
I have a 1988 ford f250 with the mpfi 460 and a 5 speed. I am 50yo. I am looking for a stand alone programmable ems. I have 8 injections throttle position sensor o2 sensor ignition sensor in the distributor. I want it simple easy to access and cheap. It is obd1. I want to change it out and be programmable. I gave a galaxy tab to be the programming and a few old dog tricks. Mainly it will adjust fuel delivery and timing. When I rebuild the eng I am aiming for 500hp na in a streetable dayly driver.
I bought a Getac V200 laptop as police surplus. With an SSD, a power cable and a $6 bootleg copy of Windows, I'm into it less than $200. I could throw it off my roof and nothing would happen other than it being further away from me. I wanted something I could leave out in my unheated garage, beat up and not care and it has performed flawlessly.
Good snag
@@GoatRopeGarage There are plenty of them out there. Police departments take them out of service them all the time. Anyone looking for a cheap laptop that's tougher than heck, they're a great buy.
@@fixins can you still get these? I want something to learn to tune on and things like that

1.Click on 'Start' and select 'Settings'.
2.Navigate to the 'Privacy' section.
3.Switch to 'Speech' and from the right pane slide the toggle to turn off the feature under 'Online Speech Recognition'
That should turn it off.
Where could I get the cord that goes from the vehicle to the laptop
Kyle this is excruciating, sacrilegious! I am leaving the room! I am not angering the PC gods! LOL! That thing can't even 2nd as a Frisbee!
If you ever have an Issue with your XLR that you cant figure out ... I would be glad to help you out.. Ive been specializing in XLR's sense they came out in 2004 .
I've been wanting a windows tablet for tuning. The hp computer I use seriously has like a 17 inch screen, and a semi broken key board. The big screen is nice but cumbersome at the same time.
Will we not need to use the screen running software? Is that only because you need it for TH-cam video?
I love my laptop but hate carrying that heavy as thing up and down the tower crane everyday lol think this is an option for me thank .
Love your tuning videos.
I have a question regarding the best choice for the fuel injection system for my project.
I’m building a 1969 Camaro with an LS2 block, GM performance parts CNC rectangular port heads, LSA supercharger and a pretty healthy cam.
I’m running a T56 magnum so I don’t need transmission control
The car will be mainly a street car but I do plan on some lapping days.
I’m trying to decide between HP tuners and the Terminator.
I have a brand new C6 corvette harness and computer that I can modify so the cost of the OEM will definitely be lower.
What are your thoughts?
Pros and cons?
Thanks.
Keith
Terminator X, no reason to over complicate your setup by running a factory ECM. You will thank me later.
Where can I get a performance fuel injectors and rail for a 1.4l VW engine or a custom one built for me and I will program it in
Can you try a raspberry pi4 with ho tuners? I want to do a digital dash with one along with having tune files set up so can flash for street an track in my xpz soon to be twincharged l67 Fiero 😅
Great video, I have been thinking about the cheaper amazon tablet style units for data logging at the track. Would you recommend something with a little more power maybe one in the 100-150 dollar range?
Yeah, I would, can get a good used laptop or tablet in that range that isn't going to be quite as slow
Can I check my car solenoids pressure like this?
Didn't see any videos on scaling a p01 or p59 to get better resolution on the timing table when running a 2 or 3 bar OS. Searching around on Google for some reason I can't find an answer their either. Been maxing out my cylinder airmass on the timing table at 5psi for years lol would like to figure out how to gain back some resolution on that so I can tune timing in boost better
Basically my timing at 5psi is what it runs at 25psi
I am wanting more instrumentation for my car. I wonder how well this would work for an OBDII gauge cluster? Having a detachable keyboard and a bright screen are two good qualities for a gauge cluster.
For your car this might not be robust enough
Do you work doing gas pumps? Like in Patrick, SC.. today?
Need help changing dbc to dbw on 411 ecm 02 sierra
Nice vid bud,would an accer chromebook 311 work to tune with holley terminator x max
i feel like this is more like laptop unboxing hahah
The computer part?
do i need a good processor for tuning?
Do you have to buy a license for each car to just reflash like if I have a bad pcm will this just let me reflash it like merry the pcm to the Keys
Missed the last live episode...was in the field playing Army
That’s a good excuse. Thank u for ur service brother
Can I download this software and an snap on verdict d7 scanner windows 7?
Does toning programs to their work for import cars
Will this work on an Intel i3 core cpu 2.53ghz
With 2gb ram
Windows 7
(Toshiba)
Or do I need to upgrade?
Cause I have download hp tuner editor and scanner and I can open them very quickly they work perfect but whenever I close my editor or scanner it shows that it crashed when it actually didn't I closed it myself do anyone know anything about that I am afraid to tune and then having it crash at flashing thus resulting in destroying the the ecu
I have a 08 Silverado gen 4 and on warm starts my idle jumps to almost 2k then goes back to idle what can that be?
I just subbed and I am not even past 2 mins...
Did the table run faster with screen recording off? Were you able to have the editor and scanner both open?
Is your terminator x max video setup for the piggy back ecu ?
I use a razer 15 laptop
I found a 59.99 laptop running Windows 10. It's pathetic horsepower wise at 1.1 Ghz Celeron 4G ram. I got this after a virtualbox VM running windows 10 with HP Tuners DID NOT work on a linux host.
I have a question about where I can find a good write up on using my plx am afr through serial with my mpvi2
Think the PLX serial might be proprietary and not one that can be used like the AEM ones
If your alternator is pcm controlled, can you change your voltage on hp tuners?
On some you can
Is this tablet 32 bit in order to be able to use the vcx nano?
Negative, 64 bit will work
Can I use a chromebook?
Negative, has to be windows for the os
I can get my computer to work
I know I’ve said it before but bro your voice is exactly the same as a younger Nicholas cage. -1 for pirate headgear.
Best compliment in ages
Ok Jenny
I still can’t figure out how to contact you lol my fault though
www.goatropegarage.com
How about vcx nano and tech2 ?
Would a chromebook work?? Lol all i got and if that does work i won't have to spend any money
Nope, has to be windows
333 like..hell yeah go Earnhardt
The unskippable ads are annoying
better to use a gaming laptop download all the software
I'm sorry I couldn't even finish watching the whole video. That cheap "laptop" is very pitiful. Oh my I could not tune on that. It would go right over me knee LOL!!!
Deal with drugs.
got a hand-me-down surface go3. free ninty-free is always a good option! lol
