XFI 2.0 software ? - Lateral-g Forums

**waynieZ** · #1 01-07-2011, 09:16 PM

I have a question for anyone who has knoledge of the new upgrade for the FAST XFI, that is the new XFI 2.0. I have an XFI but haven't installed it yet. ( car not back yet ) Its supposed to be able to learn, nothing extensive like the EZ EFI can. Will the new software help me with the initial start up ? Will it allow me to drive the car later on to get it tuned by a pro tuner? Its going on my world 454 sb crate motor. Not sure if that matters. I won't need any of the forced induction apps. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

I just read up on this on the FAST site...seems to allow self-tuning...The basic XFI has canned tables to choose from to help you get started. You will still need to do the basic set-up. I will be sending in my XFI in for the firmware upgrade. Mine is tuned, but I want to see if I can use it to improve my poor fuel economy a bit. You can revert back to your prior manual input settings if you don't want the self-tune program.

I just called today to try to get an RMA to send my unit in for updating. They said they are still working on it and maybe it will be released by February 1st. After that they will be able to issue an RMA.

Thanks for the heads up. Did they have a price yet?

I didn't ask. I've seen prices of $50 for the update and $100 if you want the new 2.0 case.

I called Imagine Injection yesterday to get an "update" on this 2.0 FIRMWARE upgrade... It has not been released yet not even in beta -- but it will sell for $49.95 and you don't have to send the unit back. We discussed it and from what he has been told - it will basically turn an XFI unit into one of their EZ EFI units so totally self tuning.

I have the EZ EFI on my Nomad and it's the best thing that ever happened in EFI for the hobbiest. PERIOD.

I'm a Greg too. Did you mean sequential ? I'm curious about that too, but I think it should still run sequential in self tune.

I'm sending my box in to them to get the update when available. I would do the upload, but I tried 86 ways to do a firmware upgrade and never got it to work, even with live tech line help doing a walkthought. All connections were good.
