Good job guys... I'm ALMOST sad I sold the Sonic. Well ... not really, I like this Audi a lot more heh. Either way I'm glad you guys came through.

Using the latest beta (2.23.707), I downloaded the stock tune for my 2012 Sonic 1.4T (with 6-sp manual). I read through the excellent E78 tuning guide and started working on some of the tables. However, I can't seem to find the driver demand tables. I go to Engine - Torque Management tab - Engine tab and all I see under Driver Demand is Use Calculated VSS, NV Ratio, and Torque Shaping. I don't see any of the other tables shown in the E78 guide. Am I looking in the wrong place, or am I just going crazy?

make sure you have selected Edit -> View -> Advanced.

Just as I suspected. I'm completely crazy.

Thanks, Chris.

I'm confused by the driver demand tables. They are apparantly in horsepower instead of torque. There is no units selection. It's kw only. The columns say "vehicle speed mph" however it seems to be RPM values in km/h units in the axis table. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

[Chris@HPTuners]

post a file? I don't see RPM in the axis.

Sorry for the delay in betting back to you.

I am looking at the stock 2012 file posted in the repo.

Engine->Torque Management->Engine->Map A Normal

Says "Vehicle Speed (mph)" up top. If I click on this axis and change units to km/h they look like good RPM values. 500, 750, 1000, 1250, etc.

Looks like a label issue.

[darkwing]

Also, this table says its 0 - 10000 kw but the data inside shows points around -50. I am unable to change the units. Any thought?

Has anyone been working on making the 2012 E78 run in "standalone", as in engine swap without BCM, TCM, and CAN?

[sprinto7]

Never mind, It works.

I sent an email with a scan attached from a 2013 Sonic 1.4. It looks like it is not supported. I hope this is easily fixed because one of the reasons I got this car is to play around with my old HP Tuners from my GTO.

Bill or anyone, do you know if you guys will support the new Chevrolet Trax? It's only available in Canada i hear. Based on the same platform as the Sonic, but a mini-suv.

Cheers.

No idea, an infolog & pic's of the pcm would be helpful, I have no information on these vehicles.

Any word on this yet? I've been waiting for over a month now

[Bill@HPTuners]

Anyone thats sent us in their .hpt file will be emailed once an update is ready.

So is the 2013 Sonic Turbo supported for tuning now?

[ElecTech]

Yes. Read one out yesterday.

Edit: sorry, it was a Cruze.

If I'm not mistaken next build should have them added, likely tomorrow morning. I need to run a few tests but whoever sent in a 2013 Sonic file will be contacted once tested and approved.
