Default Cosworth Toolbox help

Is there a Cosworth toolbox tutorial? Is there an add on software? I am seeing people post data that I don't think I have access too?

There are actually two different software packages. The "GM Cosworth Toolbox" is the thing they link to on the Chevy site and honestly I couldn't do much with it for real data analysis because you can't pick the data channels displayed and it seemed like the default ones were never what I wanted. What I use is Cosworth Pi Toolbox and you can get the lite version for free. I made a number of videos on my YouTube channel to help you get started but feel free to post up any questions. There are also some other resources on my web site at www.hipodriver.com.


Here is where to get v9 of Pi Toolbox.

To download the Toolbox 9 software please use the link below:

Toolbox 9.2 (64 bit) –
http://download.cosworth.com/downloa...rsport_Car.zip


Toolbox 9.2 (32 bit) –
http://download.cosworth.com/downloa...rsport_Car.zip


A free of charge 'Lite' level licence is available from the link below:

Thanks that just what I was looking for and where my confusion came from. I saw some of your " How did I crash videos" and what the Chevy Version offers was in conflict to what I was seeing.
I also enjoy your Hipo videos,

Thanks again.
