TS burner question...

CSIPSD · Feb 21, 2013

I have a friend that has a TS burner that he uses for Cales tunes. Would this same burner work for other tuners if they email me the tunes? Trying to shorten the time for changes via shipping chips...

If not I may just break down and buy one myself.

Is every tuner formatted different?

And I dont give two craps about DP and Moats chips...:thumbup:

Joe, I have two burners here, well three if i count the old Van Aaken. (which i would gladly sell if anyone needs one) I have only ever come across one chip i had to send in to get reformatted. BDP was usuing a diff format but I dont think they do now. Almost certain Dave/Jon use regular format on the TS chip. If you need one let me know, I can get you set up.

Hummm... I'll shoot you an email tomorrow.

Anyone else? I would hate to buy a burner and be back in square one...

Thanks!

Joe, the tunes themselves can be burned to any format chip.

However, not every chip works immediately with every burner. Some burners are format locked, and in that case the chip format must match the burner. As long as the chip and burner are happy together, you can throw any tune on there you want.

That helps. I may end up buying one so we are not shipping all the time...

That would be cool.

I would have sent yours out already, except my only switch is in my truck on my chip.... and my truck is at the shop because the rear diff is ***ked. Gears got thrashed, metal all in the pumpkin, clutch pack probably toast, etc. Fun times.

No Limit has TS burners on the website, just a suggestion. Dynoproven.com

We can get burners. Majority of the guys will work on your standard burner. PHP has their own format, Jonathan from No Limit has his own format, and DP has their own format.

If you tell them what your burner is, almost anyone can format it to match your needs

Joe, the tunes have nothing to do with the burners. Your chip needs to be formatted to match the burner your using. If Cale was using the D1 format, then the chip that you have needs to be the D1 format, and you can load anyone's tune that is using the PCMX software on the chip.

If your chip has BC format then you need Bills format on the burner. Smell what I'm steppin in?

So it sounds like I need to get my burner from Bill because at this point all my chips but one are formatted by PHP...

Vengeance · Feb 25, 2013

Yes, that is what I would do.

vanderchevy18 · Feb 26, 2013

Or buy a TS burner AND a burner from PHP. Just to be safe. Lol!

Clem1226 · Mar 1, 2013

I have one of Bill's burners and live right up the road....your welcome to borrow if you need it.

CSIPSD · Mar 1, 2013

hummm... Thats very tempting!!! LOL

vanderchevy18 · Mar 1, 2013

I decided to go with the Hydra. That way I can get emailed tunes for both TS and for the Hydra.

I love my burner. Handiest thing I have ever bought!

:whs:

Just finished loading some PHP, Gearhead and Swamps files on mine. Took longer to select the files and what order to put them in than it did to burn the chip.

CSIPSD · Mar 1, 2013

Thats tempting as well... what sucks is I have 5-6 TS chips...

vanderchevy18 · Mar 2, 2013

If it wasn't for Matt not wanting to email for TS tunes I would have stayed with a TS chip. I like it. And who in the world needs 17 freaking tunes!? LOL I'm only gonna use 3-4. I mean really. Lowest HP/daily driver, high idle, balls out fuel only, and balls out with nitrous. What else does a guy need?
