Precision Auto Sports in Beavercreek OH uses SCT for their primary tuner. I called them to see and he said he can tune all cobalts not except for the 2007 base models.

i think everyone knows that they have a tune available for the turbo kit but there is no info to show that they have released tuning software for use with our motors for those who do not run the Garrett kit.

 

or standalones

 

before any one says i told you so i just wanted to say this. the car is still running very strong and is still faster then a stage 2 ss with my little 2.2 eco and no tunning.

 

Wow... someone neg repped me for saying that there is no tuning for a 2.2....

thats messed up.. I hope there is tuning, but there really isn't anything abundant out there

 

be extremely careful

you can detonate under extreme rich conditions

and if you're running really rich, you'll smell it and you'll wash down your cylinder walls with fuel making it rough.

Smell your oil to make sure there's no fuel (pull dipstick out and sniff it)

and do you have a wideband o2?

 

YEA there is tuning for anyone in the arizona area. Gear head garage is tuning my car next friday so from what i hear he uses hptuners and it wont do the 07s but my car he can tune so any one interested pm me ill give you the adress and phone number it for real

 

Wow, well it would be the first one that anyone has found.

 

Find out how he is using it. If they can use HPTuners that means alot of guys on here should be able to do the same. Find out as much as you can on this. You may just go down as a 2.2 Hero.

 

HPTuners can't tune the E16a, so how are they using HPTuners? Unless they tuned for another car, they couldn't possibly have tuned for a 2005-2006 L61 Cobalt. Did they tune for a 2.2 Cavalier?

Post the phone number. I'm going to call.

 

Yea Please Let Me Know Here Is The Number Its 480-497-8811

 

this otta be good

 

i CALLED THE GUY EARLIER TODAY AND HE SAID HE CAN DO IT

i just called him again he said he has a way of running it as a cavalier but he tweaks it a bit

 

Well as always, everyone on here needs visual hard evidence to back up this claim. This would be pretty cool though.

 

oK WELL MY TURBO KIT IS IN THE MAIL ON ITS WAY TO ME ITLL BE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO CUZ IM ALSO WAITING ON A CLUTCH SO WHEN I KNOW ULL KNOW

 

^LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(easy on the caps, no need for yelling )

Cool to hear you got the kit...hopefully you can tell us how well it works for you. Also, lets all hope you're right about the HPtuners mod.

 

keep us up to date w/ pics when u install ur turbo... and where did you buy that clutch from?

 

There is no freakin way you can "run it as a cavalier". You cannot make the software read a computer its not designed to read. The E16a is completely different then the computer in the cavalier. Only SCT can tune for the E16a computer and they have not released any info about software support. So please do not give those people your money.

 

At least I don't look so bad and like the only guy who said it's not possible. trust me... if it was I would be all over it.

Freaken people giving neg rep saying I am giving bad information when I am just stating the truth...

 

Is the SCT tune that keeps popping up (and I know it hasn't been released) an actual tune that is equivolant to HP Tuners or is it some kind of piggyback system?

Good luck on the turbo and tune though man! Keep us all posted. Anybody call the number he gave?

 

As of right now, all we know is that the Garrett Alpha kit comes with a canned SCT tune. SCT has software out that can allow us to retune our cars on our own just like HPTuners. We are just waiting on the information from SCT. From what i know is that SCT has literally just moved into a new building so they are a little behind.

 

Well I Guess We Will C Then And On The Clutch I Bought It Through A Local Shop For About 200 Its The Exedy Stage One Its The Only One I Could Find For The Car So I Hope It Works Out And Sw4y Are U Running Ur Turbo With The Ecu That Comes With The Kit Or What And If So How Does It Run Rich , Lean???

 

I dont have the garrett kit. I have alpines, or did. the kit was made and tested on my car to work for the cobalts. They did the install and full tune on it. It ran about 11.8 AFR WOT if that helps.
