Hey Stamina, when you get a chance please post some logs with the DashDaq. I would greatly appreciate it.

What people need to see in those guys that are HPtuned asking questions is that we only would like to help and make sure that everything is running great in the car is all. I don't think anyone is wishing to attack what Trifecta has done. I think knowing that you have even "The other guys" from "The other side" wanting to look and check things out for you is actually beneficial for you guys.

I think it's a great idea, hope it does work but until I've seen something to actually prove it, its just theory, so until substantial evidence of this can be posted by a Trifecta customer/dealer or **** even Vince how do we know it really works? This was also posted in another forum by the guy that posted a Pic of the Sonata few pages back. He announced the same thing and when asked(his friend Brent) to show data this is what was posted:

Speed density tuning no MAff needed

I will say that he does make valid points in being limited in what little info(as a customer) he can see. That unfortunately is just how it is with Trifecta. Now the last post you can see an interesting link that you guys might want to read and can shed light to this subject.

I wouldn't even say it's a Trifecta issue. It's honestly an HPT issue. If it was a Trifecta issue then all the scan gauges people use would be affected too. The problem lies with the OS ID changing (just like other brands of tunes). Due to the OS ID changing, HPT doesn't recognize the vehicle to know what is monitor-able. I can scan/monitor/log every PID shown on the stock tune, on the Trifecta tune, because the gauge doesn't care about OS ID.

40rty: What were you needing me to log? I'm not on the ECP tune anymore due to my altered VE throwing things off; It doesn't work for me.

Yeah VE tuning is not a one size fits all. Every car will have a slightly different VE even if they have the same mods. VE tuning must be done on Each individual car

No, no reply. After reading the link from Stamina, I'm gonna pass until I get more info.... speed density tuning needs constant retune for environmental variables: pressure, elevation, humidity, etc...I need to know that there are auto-adjustments for these variables using the wideband o2, iat, etc...car will go boom otherwise

I understand that people here are tuned by Vince and experiences vary, but Vince putting out a "ECP tune" and saying it works yet no data being displayed is....yet again unbelievable. That's all Im asking for, I know there are some Trifecta tune cars that are running great. Just give me data. Didn't Vince just hire a guy to deal with customers? Can Vince prt screen some info? Charts? Graphs?

It's not speed density tuning guys, we aren't disabling the MAF. You won't need to get retuned for humidity or anything like that. The MAF still needs to be hooked up so it can read humidity, IAT, etc.

Ok, understood. Whatever it is, can there be any info besides saying it works posted??? I asked you this on another forum and Brent bailed. Now I ask here, Again.

I think that it would be great if you could coordinate with Vince to setup some test or something and have you guys conduct it.

We haven't had anyone complaining or saying their cars aren't running right or anything. I've been running the forge BOV with ECP for a few months now with no issues.

So if I get a tune directly from Vince, would the ECP be included in it? Or do I only need it if I have an aftermarket CAI/SRI/BOV?

If I send you all a few logs think you could forward them to Vince? Would love to see this ecp tune become a major part in the lnf community

I'd like to try the updated tune on my 09. Do I need to send an email or do you contact via the forums?

So is this safe to use now? I can't seem to get a hold of Vince to update my tune.
