JANNETTY RACING CUSTOM TUNE INSTRUCTIONS

When you Purchase an SCT X3 Hand Held Tuner from me you get ONE, 93 OR, ONE, 91 Octane Tune For Free 2010/11/12/13 Camaro5 members Only, for your simple bolt on mods, CAI and Cat Backs, EXCLUSIONS apply for Headers, cams, superchargers and nitrous and other vehicles.

Additional Tunes with minor changes are available AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE For 55.00 Each, i.e. Second tune for 91 Octane.

Custom Tuning for excluded items available at additional cost options on my site or contact me via email for a quote.

Your new SCT X3 will come to you Blank, You will need to connect the device to your car and Upload Stock tune file. Here is how, Sit in the car, Close the Door, Turn off all accessories and Unplug any devices from the Power Ports, i.e. cell phones, radar detectors, navigation etc. plug the device in to your OBDII port, select Program Vehicle, Using the left arrow scroll left to UPLOAD STOCK, it will prompt you to turn on the key, Turn the Key on, But do NOT Start, Wait for the Dinging to stop and hit select.

Note 1; Upload Stock will not disable your vehicle it only makes a copy of the stock file.

Note 2; On some vehicles, you may get prompted to make a selection of ECM and TCM or Auto Detect, Always select AUTO DETECT, and let it go it could take as much as 20 minutes to get past security.

Your tuner came with a disc with Free Software called SCT Device Updater software, if not you can go to www.sctflash.com and down load for FREE, install this in your home or laptop computer Before you connect the device to your computer.

Then After you install and OPEN SCT Device updater software, you can connect your X3 to your computer, Drivers should install automatically, then Get Stock File, Click Browse, Find your Desktop and Click Save.

Go to your Desktop, there will be 2 files, Select the one with Your VinNumber.sul and email it to me tedj@jannettyracing.com along with your Full name, Address phone numbers, And all vehicle information Year, Make, Model, Engine, Trans, List of Performance Modifications and Preferred Octane of your choice, most common are 93 or 91

Please include Cold air Kit Brand and Part number if equipped.

PLEASE RE READ LAST STEP, I CANNOT TUNE YOUR CAR WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION, EVERYONE SEEMS TO FORGET OCTANE REQUIREMENT.

Then I will send you back a custom tune file for your mods.

When you receive a response, Save the file to your desktop, it will be, YOUR NAME JRE TUNE.cef

Again open SCT Device Updater, Then, connect your X3 tuner, select Load Custom Tune File, Browse to your tune file Select it, then select a position 1, then name it anything you like, i.e. JRE TUNE, click on program, you will see the progress bar at the bottom go green, then exit when finished.

Connect to your car, Select Program Vehicle, scroll left to Custom Tunes, Select JRE tune and follow the on screen prompts.


I have developed Dyno Proven tunes for all of the Product I sell, So Unless I instruct you to do so Datalogging will NOT be necessary.

If I instruct you to Datalog your car, you will need LiveLink software to do so, you can download the software free here http://www.sctflash.com/tsupdates.ph...6&GUD=1&GSER=1

The best way I found is to use a laptop on the seat, First, Start the Car, Then Open the LiveLink Software Then connect the X3 to your laptop, Then connect the X3 to the OBDII Port of the car, Then Hit the connect button, a list of PIDs will come up, you will have to scroll through them selecting the Items below.

Even thought they may not be named exactly as I listed them, I want you to select the following, but Try Not to select anything Not listed or doubles of any of the items listed.

You may have to test several PIDs to see which ones work best or work at all on your car.

Once you find a list that works well Save Configuration file for future use.

Engine RPM - RPM
MAP-Intkman abs prss
FUEL PRESSURE
ECT engine coolant temp – ecteng clt tmp
TPS throttle position or pedal position – acc pdl pos 1s
IAT intake air temp or Air intake temp – intk Airtmp
MAF Mass Air flow Hz – Maffre 125
TIMING spark cylinder 1 – ign Tim Adv4#1cyl
KNOCK RETARD – knk ret
Vehicle speed Kph–?
Long Term Fuel Trim bank 1 – ltf tri b1
Long Term Fuel Trim bank 2 – ltf tri b2

Pleas ONLY Select the PIDs Listed, Extra PIDs Slow Down Datalogging and give me useless information.

Names can vary from computer to computer but you get the Idea.

Once you have your PIDs configured and working, While NOT logging you can go to File/save LiveLink Configuration, for future Logging.

Go find a open road somewhere, 1/2 mile or so long would be great, from a stop drive the car about 1/4 throttle up through the gears normally shifting at about 4500 RPM Paddle shift works best on Automatic trans cars.

Then repeat about 1/2 throttle shifting at 5500 RPM Speeding is not recommended or necessary 1st and 2nd gear are fine if you do not have the room.

Stop, and Save Datalog As (Your Name log 1.csv) Number each one successive and save to your desktop.

Email me the log files along with your Full name, Address phone numbers, And all vehicle information Year, Make, Model, Engine, Trans, and list of performance modifications, and any Comments you might think are helpful.

PLEASE RE READ THIS STEP, I CAN NOT REFINE YOUR TUNE WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION.

Please Do Not Assume I will know who you are By your Screen Name, or what kind of car you drive, or what your mods are, I deal with 50-100 people a Day so I must have all of your info right in front of me in ONE email so I can Properly Write your Tune.

Your Cooperation in reading, understanding and following these directions will make this a Very Pleasant Experience for both of us.

After tuning the 1/4 and 1/2 Throttle ranges, Most Bolt on Vehicles are Done.

In the Event of Cams, Superchargers, NOS, or combinations thereof, I may Instruct you to do Wide Open Throttle Runs at the Track or on the Dyno, with a Wide Band AFR Meter or a Vehicle installed AFR Gauge connected to your SCT Device via a firewire, and Log these Runs, I will view and refine the WOT part of the tune, and We are Finished.


Thank you for Choosing JRE, Ted.

I received my new SCT X4 and updated SCT Device Updater and Livelink ll. Using Windows 8.0 or 8.1 it was necessary to call SCT tech support and have them remote into my computer and download the new drivers. They also updated the X4 handheld for me as well. The X4 now communicates just fine with the software and is working great.

I have an X and it is a great device for tuning. Highly recommended it.

There are always going to be minor growing pains with any electronics but SCT customer support is outstanding.

X4 user here, using laptop with Vista Home version. Thankfully I only use this application for "car stuff" only.

I had the same driver problems as well, so it's not Windows 8 specific it seems.

Thankfully SCT technical support is superb, they fixed my issue remotely within 5 minutes.

Datalogging tonight so get ready for yet one more Ted .
