I'm trying to get all the lost ancient info put back together on how to tune the VL's. I have most of it now but just need the binary images from the eprom on the ECU's, I don't have any VL ECUs so can't do it myself. I'm after any and all of the NA and Turbo binaries and a dump of the VG30 eprom would also be good even aftermarket tunes if you have them.

If anyone of you VL peoples had to foresight to save these to your computer back when VL's were all the rage, before everything got lost in time could you post them up. I'll put up all the info I have in this VL section once it's complete

:) Thanks for the search. I do have prety much all the info now, just missing the actual VL binaries. All it will take is unsoldering the eprom from a VL ecu and reading it in a eprom reader/burner and retunes are go. I'm still getting everything sorted that I've downloaded in the last few days.

It doesn't seem the guys that were doing this a few years ago were ever able to find the injector flow rate address in the Turbo binary, which is VERY important for the turbo boys that need big injectors but it looks like the NA tune has the same address as the VG30 which is known.

It also seems that the VG30 motors tune does run an RB30 so it should be jsut a matter of swapping some of the RB30ET maps into the VG30 tune to get it to run smooth then using that as your base. Either that or converting the NA tune to turbo. Anyway I don't even have a VL so if any of you VL guys have the nerd power to put this into practise, go for it :). I'll be posting more soon. You can also real time tune with your latop, with an eprom emulator on these ecu's and a couple little programs

Thanks Bob :thumbsup:
What happened to that guy Darkhalf that was really into his VL's?. I find alot of stuff about him on old message baords and in cache from dead forums and web pages, he was trying to invent all kinds of stuff for VL's a couple of years ago. Well back to sorting VL info :)

Ok, Ive decided the old .jp program Romeditor is pretty crusty :). I'm going to try and make a xdf file for tuner pro from the VL addresses

Ok here is the first version of the Tunerpro VL RB30E/T XDF.
There is still stuff missing from it but it should be useable as it is. I based all this on address's a dude called darkhalf found a few years ago but he didn't find some things. I'm going to try and finish it but no promises, darkhalf seems like a fairly smart guy so it might be a battle to find stuff he couldn't, but I'll try.

Also I don't know why the airfuel ratios are what they are? it's a bit odd :) but anyway I'd take a pretty good bet on the RB taking a fair bit more radical spark curve than the stock one, so I'd say there is a fair bit more mumbo left in the engine over the stock tune. Well see what you VL dudes can do with it

p.s get the right binary from the zip file Bob posted up there ^^^ and I still have alot of things to post up about all this later

so with all this stuff would u be able to do anything along the lines off making a memcal or empom up for my car, (im bit slow with this stuff still learning)

i as i asked you a while ago when you were doing the free vn and vp memcals and you said that you would work on 1 for the vl at a later date,
if you are able to get anything sorted i will be intressted in your services and willing for any postage fees and cost that may be needed
