so i put the trifecta switchable tune one last night and let me just say i almost **** myself when i switched from stock to tune and did a 2nd gear pull its a freakin completely car! my friend with a stage 2 ion redline couldnt believe it..he was ******* me when i told him i ordered a tune he said it will "mess" my car up and "doubts" it will make power but i let him drive it and now he wants a trifecta tune haha gay superchargers...but my catless DP came in as well i jacked it up yesterday and sprayed some penetrating fluid on the nuts but couldnt move the thing! do i need a torch or something any help?! aslo can somebody explain how to remove the sensor and the nut above the catalytic converter.. sorry for the loooooonnngggg post

 

make sure your turning to the left

 

Man strength helps a little too. lol

 

try some man power

 

well dude i was tap tap tappidy tap tap the wrench when trying to loosen them n it felt like i was going to strip the nut...any suggestions how to remove sensor and bolts directcly above the end of the DP?

also HB are those wheels powder coat

 

impact drill anyone

 

nah no impact drill... might have to go to a shop...dammit this place charged me 153 deneros to put my new tires on! seemed a little expensive to me...anyone?

 

find a socket that fits correctly, use a swivle and extension backed by a 1/2" impact. 3 are actual nuts the other is a stud. i popped mine off with a 3/8" matco impact with ease

 

I just wrenched the sucker out it wasn't that hard.

And yes my wheels are powdercoated

 

Drop the turbo side of the dp first and take the closest exhaust hanger off by the dp and bend it down and you can get to that damn bolt pretty easily

 

i also need to save my stocker for emissions and what not..nice dude how much did u pay?

 

"gay superchargers" No need for that. Im suprised none of the SS/SC guys have picked up on it yet. Superchargers have there place. In a smaller output engine application like the Ecotecs' turbos are better choices IMO...but still superchargers are great in a LOT of applications.

 

I did but just brushed it off

 

I PICKED UP THE "GAY SUPERCHARGERS" comment also and thought it was a little out of line

 

superchargers are turbos who cares.....bottom line is its forced induction which is amazing regardless of your application choice.

as for your downpipe......i wrenched everything out by hand with no issues what so ever. used 3/8ths sockets on everything too.

 

i used a lift... but then again i used to work at a tune shop with a lift... so i could use it when ever i wanted lol.. took me 15 minutes...

all hand tools..you just really gotta break the bolts from the lock... and your set..

 

He doesn't mean bend the pipes lol ( by the sounds of it ......you don't have to worry about that anyways.....MR i can't get the nuts to break loose....... girly man)



If you drop the turbo side and remove the hanger the whole exhaust will slid down out of the tunnel.

 

^^^Srsly? I wish people would stop hacking and posting my private myspace photos...

 

Disconnect the connector from the sensor and take it off after you remove the pipe from the car. Piece of cake.

 

 

go get your swole on....after youve worked up a sweat and feel like a man...start biting at those bolts, sensors and nuts...they should come off

 

another trifecta tune thread....


I guess the stage 1 threads have been replaced with "trifecta tune thread!"....

 

what part of CT are you guys in ?

 

The official mechanical name for a turbo is a Turbine Supercharger, and a turbo is actually a form of a supercharger.

And nowadays in motor vehicles turbo charger(s) are pretty much better in all applications with the way they are setup now, and the fact that superchargers rob power from its own engine and get heat soaked is rough, but they are the cheapest form of induction, and easily mounted in V engines that makes them so popular!! They are still cool tho not bashing just saying.

Sorry for the thread highjack.




And before you go TRIFECTA BEST TUNE EVER MADEEASDJH!@#(!^#&!#^&*!, have you tried any other tune? Or would you have been impressed with anything? Not being a dick just a real question if your comparing it to something that I missed.

 

Compared to Superchips it kicks ass, but that's kinda expected.
