Just putting it out there for the local folks....that HP tuning is available in our area

PM me for details/pricing.

Note:
I am comfortable tuning the 2.4SS and 2.0SS. you can PM eccentric or Cruisn for reference on my tuning.
Fueling or Spark tuning will NOT be done on your car unless you have a wideband.

 

mmmm wish I was canadian. I'd much rather get a tune from someone I know is knowledgeable than someone I "think" is knowledgeable...

 

Ya you tuned Exxcentric here in Red Deer, she drives a yellow 2.4L.. Anyways Anomolous what can you do for the manual trans 2.4L??? just post in here is fine.. thanks boss..

 

when i get my intake and exhaust im gonna be getting spaz to tune mine just to get the most out of the mods. if i didn't know spaz you would definetly be my first choice anom

 

Most depends on whether you buy a wideband A/F guage.

theres lots of minor stuff that can help.
but the big changes as far as power, and tuning for your mods, comes from dialing in your fueling and spark maps.

which i wont do without you owning a wideband.
its just for safety, i dont want anyone driving around on a custom tune without being able to monitor it properly.
but ask matt (cruisn) I tuned his manual 2.4 just last week. we found a surprising amount of power in that engine hes pretty happy.

 

hes really happy! lol, car isnt runnign right do to a vvt selenoid which gets fixed next week. but the tune is great. not a hint of knock, he doesnt push limits, took it very mild and slowly up'd it. car is running at its peak. sure hauls ass now, lol great work steve!!

 

nice thats good that our cars have some hidden potential dorment. and was that what was throwing that CEL when you came done cruisn

 

Edit: I have the AEM wideband installed on my car. great product, very accurate. easy to install.




ya, I knew it was the selenoid. lol. you could feel it. its running like ass right now casue it quit working almost entirely. goes in next thursday.

 

nice good to hear cruisn

 

Curious as to what the issue with increases in timing without a wideband? For that matter how would a wideband aid in tuning spark timing? I know of other reasons for not wanting to tune spark so I see where you're coming from.... time being a major factor.

 

im interested for sure, im sure i WILL buy a wideband soon when i get my header DP, would u be able to tune an 07 ss/sc with stg 2 2.9" pulley, will be full exhuast and intake?!

 

the wideband would be used for monitoring the car. he doesnt want to tune a car where the driver wont beable to see the air and fuel rates and whatnot, he doesnt wanna be the guy that gives a bad tune and blows up a car, and you wont be able to tell whats going on witth the car unless you have a wideband guage. thats why.

 

Changing spark can change A/F ratios.
its just a ground rule that ive set for myself if im going to work on other peoples cars.
If im going to change something, i want them to walk away with a tune they know is safe.

no guesswork

Replied to your PM

Exactly even though any changes we make are your decision, and you accept responsibility for the risks, I still dont want someones car to crater on my tuning.






Thanks for the props matt

 

hey anom, when i get home tonight i'll email you a list of factory guidelines for all that stuff, its got everything from MAF values to fuel trim values. i know hptuners should show that but this is what its supposed to be at stock. thought it might help ya out.

 

thanks man. yeah it can never hurt to learn more

 

so the site won't let me upload the word files so i'll have to send you the files via email. i sent you an email asking for it. and i was reading through the list and came across the fuel cutoff on decel parameter and it says by default its disabled. weird.

 

strange....thats definately not right.

 

ya i know and you can even see for yourself when i send you the file.

 

i didnt get a pm!

 

he got us mixed up....he responded to my pm. i forwarded it to you.

 

trav why are u still up?!

 

you two and your darn identical sigs rofl

 

i just got home when i wrote that last night.

 

You can "tell" plenty of what is going on with a car without a wideband. I full well understand what they do and what they are used for.... (there's an extra bung in my downpipe for one in fact). I was asking him what he used it for in regards to timing changes. I've just never heard of our thought to use any data values from it while changing timing tables so was curious as to what he was doing. I've never seen an AFR change from small changes to timing (to the precision of the widebands I have used) but I suppose it could if the change was drastic to alter cylinder pressures enough. I would still prefer to use a pyrometer gauge and a dyno if possible to do those types of adjustments as opposed to basing changes off of knock data.

 

agreed.

though I dont have the 40 grand to buy a dyno, and most people arent interested in pyros.


just a few days ago, i watched the 2.4 i was tuning go from 12.9 to 13.2 AFRs while working his timing table.

its usually not much. but its enough that i usually go back and work the maf once or twice more after im done the timing.
