When I went from a SP V2 17.5 to a SP V3 17.5 motor I lost my drag brake, the only setting that works is all the up at 8 and thats way to much.

Any suggestions on what to try?

Thanks Marcos...similar to what I was running except I had no drag brake...will try it also my FDR5.48...maybe a bigger track? and 13/14 I had at 5..will change that.I found my setup a tad slower( than guy with a good Tekin setup) at the start of the back straight,but otherwise very good.

Unzip the downloaded file and inside you will find the 1,33 version setup.exe + settings.db3 /version control.ini + .doc file (is a small manual about the SC software)
Copy these 2 files (settings.db3 , version control.ini) and past to your SP directory that should be XX(normally is C):\Program Files\Speedpassion USB Link V1.33

When it will ask overwrite 2 filesa select “yes” and you will have the last firmware release.

Hoping what i wrote is clear
I finally had some time to sort the issue out, My netbook running XP updated by just copying the files. However the PC with Vista installed needs to be updated differently.

As Vista determines the settings.db3 file to be a data file it does not use the version in the program files directory but an alternate version in the following path C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Speedpassion USB Link V1.33.

For more info have a look at the following Microsoft article

After this it works fine

Only installing the "new" 1,33 setup nothing is changing, you need to overwrite the control.ini and settings.db3 files
You will find them into the new unzipped folder; copy and overwrite them to Speedpassion directory and you should have the new firmwares.
If is not working i don't have any idea, may be someone else can help you better than me.

@Miku: i'm using windows7 and no problem at all, at the end i'm happy that you have solved your "issue"

The updated zip is under the 2.1 ESC not the lcd programmer, just FYI.

Could if blow your stuff? Definitely, just like any software, but most unlikely if not abused(geared wrong, using stock software with mod motor, etc.).
The 100528 stock and mod are tested and has been very successful at the track.

Reinhard is using the 100258_mod.
are you sure 100258_mod ?

Default 14ga wire for GT2.1

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but I received a GT 2.1 with 14ga wire. I am tempted to use TQ 13 ga wire but I have some pretty flo green 14 ga wire sitting around. Will it make a difference when using 13.5 or 17.5? Thanks guys!

I had the same problem a while back when trying to use the first supercharger software and it was with Windows Vista AND you have to right click on the Speed Passion icon (on your desktop) and RUN IT AS ADMINISTRATOR. Then all the other options come up once your speedo is all connected up etc.

Hope that helps you

try changing your sensor cable, clean out the port on the speed-o with air, make sure you have a good connection
