U7170 tuner question

Post by Brett_Bathey »

So I have the old U7170 and I would like to know how many custom tunes I can fit on it without having to upgrade? Also, would it be possible to remove the tow tun and 60hp tune as I do not use those? Thanks guys!


PS.. does anyone have a 140hp tune for the U7170?

An older U7170 will only hold 1 custom tune.
No way to remove the canned tunes, no.

Not sure I follow your question.

So I tried out the 100HP tune and it seems to be putting out MUCH less black smoke then my 85HP tune. Will it just take some to to get more black smoke and have the engine get used to the 100hp or no? This is my first programmer software update ever so I am guessing the new tunes vs old tunes have a major difference in smoke due to new environment laws? Can someone explain this.

the fact that it smokes less means it is working properly and burning all the fuel efficiently, and you are getting all the power you can from the fuel being burned...

Yes I know that but from what I've been told is the 100HP has more smoke for when those annoying bicycle riders are in the middle of the road or when I get in front of a prius. By chance do you have the first firmware from the u7170 programmer? Way back from 2003?
