Okay; I work @ the chevrolet dealer in my town as a salesman; and i was talking with him this morning; and he said that he thinks he can laptop tune my car! but; i dont know if he can or not; he said we gotta buy a liscense for it; so i think he's using HPTuner....but I really am not sure...

if nothing else; he said he could remove rev limiter; speed governor; and advance the timing on the car (because the car has the Cam Positioning Sensor).............all that's done to my little 2.2 is I/H/E....thinking of DP; but IDK if it will give me signifigant enough gains to fool with....

anyway; has anyone else done this? or is he just trying to fish me outta some $$ for no reason because it can't be done...anybody know?

 

try it and find out for all of us

 

yeh you should go for it. hope everything goes well!

 

How much is he asking?

 

he want's like $150 to do it for me; but we have no dyno around here; so it's just butt dyno as far as accuracy... : (

 

get it dynoed then go back and havfe it tuned then dyno again, this would be very interesting to see.

 

Last I talked with HP they Cannot tune the 05/05 L61, however If you have an 07 he made be able to tune that seeing as how the 07 has the same PCM as the SS that year. But i have no confirmation of the release

 

i have a 2007 model....

 

then you can be tuned via HPT

 

As far as i know there is no tuning for a 2.2 Cobalt period... And not with HP tuners thats for sure, if you do decide to do it take it and get dyno'd and then do it and get dyno'd again...

 

Then if they added it to their last release you should be able to be tuned, If you do please I begg you get before and after dyno numbers

No tuning for 05/06 is available, They change the PCM in 07 to match the SSS/c.

 

The support for the 07 L61 hasn't actually been released yet. Any software version he currently has won't read it. Soon...

 

1/2c3nt do you know what the new PCM code is? the old one is E16a correct?

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/tuning-131/ecotec-engine-management-summary-w-pinouts-38412/

2007 is the E37

Previous was the E16, correct.

 

keep us posted, very interested to find out, from a fellow 07' 2.2

 

When you you make that? You didnt let me know

 

I'm going too find out if this is true.

 

Its not true... when there is 2.2 tuning, we will know, it will be a big event

 

What's not true?

 

There being any 2.2 tuning available is whats not true

 

Oh, Okay, that's correct.

 

sorry I guess i should have went into a bit of detail there lol

 

i contacted the guys at HP tuners; they said that even if we 2.2's have the same PCM as a ss/sc; tuning still wont be available on 2.2 b/c they have a different databases....

 

Okay, stop. I don't know why you think they have the same PCM's because they don't. They never have.
