MS Office - should do the trik - just select "export" and wait a while (or long while if your laptop is 300 Mhz like mine)

try and determine how the hydra is "finding" excel and rename the corresponding openoffice program the what its looking for and where. not sure what other checks it might do against the program but it would be interesting to know if it can be done. hopefully Ill have my car back on the road soon so I can help test. gl2u jblaine.

Yeah, I opened the hydra binary in an editor and poked around looking for excel references. I didn't really find anything that looked promising for changing.
I have a coworker who is downloading the Office 2003 "STD" .iso image from Microsoft's Developer Network, which we have a subscription to. I will use Excel from that until this is fixed. |

Well, that saga is over.
I'm so demanding wanting to save my log files without additional commercial software! |

I'm surprised that Hydra did not supply a manual to you Phil. If anyone would need it, it would be you. My hope is that this thread will serve as a de facto manual for the Element Hydra. Edited to preserve the spirit of the message and thread. Last edited by bboy; 04-12-2005 at 09:00 PM. |

This thread was supposed to be helpful but it has turned sour. I will no longer post on this thread.

Anything like this? |

So this is what it comes to now? We have a small company and a small-volume product, therefore we're obligated to only say positive things or everyone cries and starts "rubbing you out" or cold-sholdering you?
Fantastic. |

Mine knock curve looks like that.
If 'sour' is 'problems' that's too bad since this thread is to fix problems. The Hydra has a few and so does the Nemesis software. If you want to stop people from venting their frustrations--that won't happen. God invented light and two seconds later some farmer was complaining about it. Phil you have done a great job tuning but now that you have a few hundred users and some of them have had serious problem, some have had ones in the more 'annoying' category-- what are you going to do? Flee everytime the volume gets turned up? I'll stop complaining about XXXXX, but it's pretty damn hard. This person was, has been, and continues to be a complete nuisance to Hydra owners. IMHO people need to know XXXXX is not to be trusted. If you have problems with the Hydra take them to Phil or these forums. If there are issues beyond your control Phil, I'm willing to see that and I think most of us are. We knew we were buying a "brand new" system. We can accept a few bugs in the software. We work around some quirkiness. We can rewire harnesses for boost control to make them work with the idea that the design will be changed. As a rule this group is a pretty self-sufficient bunch. What we can't deal with is dissembling .....**self-censored**. It's not fair to us. Most of the units work great, many users don't ever tune with the software, so they don't have issue with it. Call Phil if you have a problem with your Hydra. PM me I'll do what I can, or point you to who can. Please keep posting to this thread Phil--you are the sole resource for accurate Hydra info. You, your tuning guides, and the consolidation of info in this thread, are the total written universe of Hydra tuning for the Subaru. While I may seem sour and other's may seem sour, maybe some of the sourness serves a purpose that has nothing to do with Phil/Element Tuning. Maybe the 'sourness' has more to do with the writer's frustration.... *self-censored*. Certainly my writing does. Last edited by bboy; 04-12-2005 at 09:08 PM. |

No wonder I can't make any sense of the ridiculous timing retard I am seeing all through vacuum ranges at sub-4000RPM and 10 or so events in low boost. +2 more days wasted screwing around trying to fix a misconfigured setup. |

Complain and discuss your problems at will. I have never discouraged anyone from doing so. Anyways the squeaky wheel always gets the grease and jblaine is the poster child for that one. Somehow he managed to get a data dump from the logger instead of exporting to Excel with two days of complaining yet I’ve been requesting that for a year.
Where I drew the line was when the OWNER of Hydra EMS was called a “blatant liar.” I cannot condone this nor continue to post here because of it. Start a new thread if you want or need my help and of course you can email or call. Phil www.elementtuning.com |

Contrasted with "I would like it if...", as a customer/distributor already owning Excel and getting by fine -- the customer ready to put his foot down and return the product if this failed functionality and flawed implementation is not addressed, wins.

No comment on that.
Anyway, here's a tip -- don't use your OEM ECU's DeltaDash logs (minus 1 degree) to try to get a non-knocking map. My low for a 16psi-peak run from 2000-6800 with the OEM ECU was 14 degrees. I am having to run 10-11 at greater than 11psi or so through my midrange. Now, whether the timing is that low because of actual knock or a poor Knock Threshold curve for my car, I don't know. I will certainly find out in time, as I am only rough tuning right now and using the Element Tuning Knock Threshold map. |

Let's chip in and get jblaine a wheel chair for his poster child pic. We'll mod it with lots of stickers and an extra loud BOV.

Regardless of that it would be best to get the car onto a dyno with an operator who has a set of 'ears' and can tell you if your car is detonating, the same operator should really also be able to fully tune your Hydra for you (assuming he has experience with similar products, Motec, Link, Autronic, AEM, etc) in fairly quick time. Another option would be to fit a Knocklink or similar product to warn of detonation. I wouldn't recommend trying to tune a turbocharged car without either ears or a Knocklink and a wideband O2 sensor. Regards, Steve Coates http://www.avoturbo.com |

Thanks Steve. I'd like to see your KT map. Can you email it to jblaine AT kickflop DOT net?
I have a WBO2 setup and agree with you completely regarding dyno tuning and/or ears and/or knocklink. It's on the list |
