Boost control is removed by setting 2 tables to 6042 in every cell. You can find them at Torque Management > Supercharger > Desired Torque & Desired Torque S/S

A/F ratio is best at 11.7-11.8 - I promise

 

Yea like I said 11.8 I heard people getting amazing dyno results on blown motors. And I have both desired torque tables at 6042 with same problem.

Btw Ljavy clear your inbox can't send PM lol

 

ljavy is on the MAP table instead if desired tq table

 

im going to try to change my MAF frequency next.

 

but I already disabled my map table to MAX so thats done.

 

If you set the MAF fail frequency to 13000 hz I think it is it'll fail and the car will have a hard time idling. atleast that's what I get when I unplug the maf or set fail to high.

 

I wouldn't touch the MAF tables - that seems to have the potential to cause a lot of problems based upon my past experience. You should be fooling with the IFR, PE, VE, and of course all the other things unrelated to fuel/airflow that you normally adjust. All imo...

 

yea i thought the car was drag limited at 145ish...why would the govern it over the drag limit?

 

not sure thats what puzzelled me as well.

 

Once again guys, is there any benifit to appling Hp tuners to the 2.4? because someone local to me has one.

 

id say so, it seems like all gm's comp settings are very mild, which is why software like this is great cuz it lets you unlock certain elements you would never see...
as for teh maf tables, i do know you have to bump the maf frequency if you have an aftermarket intake or youll get the p0103 code, someone here bumped it to 12 and it runs fine and no cel.

 

g5mike. Call rob from intense. He has binary files for the 2.4 im sure you can buy one fomr him for 100dlls. and there will deff be a really good advatage from it.

 

Thnks dude,not to be a pain in the ass,but what could I expect from buying the filesand having my bud apply his hp tuner to my car

 

higher revs, torque management gone, if you have an auto they can increase shift pressure and when it shifts, I sure little tweeks here and there. As a rule of thumb, a good tune can gain about 5-20 WHP, depending on car of course.

 

Drag limited, just means that the car doesnt provide enough power to go over 145 mph, kinda like wind resistance (drag) keeps it from going any faster. I have been over 145 MPH. I believe I was slightly over the 150 MPH mark, but that was quite some time ago, I dont usually drive that fast.

w/ more horse power you pushing that Drag against power problem back farther thus letting you go up to 155. Now when you hit 155 the car cuts the fuel off as you shouldnt be going that fast anyway lol.


I have a few questions if I may. I am very interested in HP tuners, and I believe me and my bro are about to buy it come this pay day. I want to tune me car w/ the 2.8 inch pulley that is on it. I also want to keep the stock 42 lb injectors. I have the supporting mods in my sig, and may be adding a header hear shortly.

What kind of power gains can you see from an HP tuners tune? I will probably increase redline to 7100.

My biggest issue is I dont have a Wide band. Now my bro may buy one and we may be able to use that, but supose I dont have a wide band would I still be able to tune it myself, or would I need to take it to a tuner?

Also can tunes be swapped back and forth rather easily and quickly? I want to save my stock tune so when I go to the dealer (Complete ass holes) I can load the stock tune back up. Then when I get home from the dealer after what ever to be able to put my performance tune back on. Is it as simple as loading the new tune, or can swapping back and forth like this cause problems? Without going in and checking out each paramater in the ECU is there a way for them to tell that the tune was changed frome default?

Sorry for all the questions.

 

There isn't a set amount you'll gain. You will gain something with just minor tweaks.

I highy doubt your dealership could tell you changed anything on your VCM with HPTuners. If I am wrong, you can flash your car in about 30 seconds.

You can get a LM1 from Innovative and use it on both your cars. I believe WopOnTour has this.

 

You can have as many tunes as you want, so if yant to go back to a previous tune it takes 34 seconds on these cars. Lol so t's not a big deal. Also about the dealer not knowing. Let's say I know a friend that has his car in the shopp atm and they are saying they can't get into the pcm, but I'm very sure I didn't lock it and it's back to stock even. It could just be they are retards, or they blew the fuse lol (I did that first day I had hptuners).

They say general rule is you can gain 5-20 WHP with a good tune. Yes you can tune without a wideband also, that's what I'm doing, but you won't be getting 100% out of her, just kind of like 70-80%, same goes with timing, just cause you add more timing doesn't mean you will be faster, infact you could lose power, but to find out you need to tune on a dyno to get your spark in it's sweet spot.

And last thing, the drag issue was a bitch, before I had all the power I hit 140 ( I didn't look to see how high cause I was more on the road lol) twice and it was good getting up there, but it still took a bit, but with all the power mods I hit 150 with 4 people in the car faster then I hit 140 with only 1 in car. So I don't know how high she'll push but it'd be pretty interesting to find out haha, but not me, I'm already working on my second suspension..

 

Thanks for the info. SO I would probably get the best results if I went to like Rev-it-up or something and paid them and had them use their dyno and wide band? What does that cost? Is it something that is usually done in an hours time or could it take longer?

So the ECU is like a locked Hard drive. You have to Unlock it to access and make changes and you have to relock it when your done and not forget

 

yup stupid question.

search = your friend

 

Well actually a stock pcm is Unlocked and unless you yourself lock it or bring it to a tune shop it should always be unlocked. The only advantage of being locked is so that noone can see your pcm settings, So some tuneshops will lock the pcm so they don't lose "trade secrets". Also I got a quote on 250$ for the first hour 100$ every hour after that and they said half of the first hour is setting up! So to answer your question TUNE YOURSELF!!! You'll have a sense of GREAT pride, and you will know what you did and what you can make better. In all honesty anyways tune yourself . Btw did I say it's so much better to tune yourself lol

 

Looks like me and my Bro should have HP Tuners delievered here on Friday. I cant wait Wish me luck on a custom tune w/ out a wide band lol.

 

That's what mine is, I pulled hard on all my buddies with 2.7's with intense tunes and a 2.8 stage 2, now I only pull on my friend with a 2.7 and intense tune, the other his engine is blown, and the kid witha 2.8 pulls on me now, Thanks to lots o belt slip from the "annodized" part came off like "paint"

 

how did his engine blow!

 

sorry if this was already brought up but i didnt feel like reading 5 pages of posts. Any bets on who gonna destroy either their blower or put a piston through the hood first. Those redlines are pretty damn high for stock internals...?

 

eh not so much ithe valve springs will be the fist thing to let loose as a matter of fact i think some1 on here is runnin 7500 redline
