hey guys...im at work and dont really have time to search for the thread even tho it prob exist.....so bare wit me...for us 2.2's i kno tuning was a bit of a problem. Im looking to boost my 05 ls and just wanted to know wuts the best way to go as far as tuning....and wut sum of u guys did to tune ur 2.2's....thanks i aprrecdiate it alot! Also If i order the garrett alpha kit it comes with a tuning solution? can sumone clearify that a lil thanks

 

BACK OFF FLAMMERS! You could you use trifecta. Yes the garret aplha kit comes with tuning, but I think only for 5 speed 05-06 models.

 

TRIFECTA they are the only ones....i've already put a phone call into them........they are very interested in doing more tuning for the 2.2's......

 

Get the Garret Kit from Hahn Racecraft without the tune, then talk to Trifecta for a tune, you will be pretty good.

 

i get my tune from trifecta today....my 2.2 ls/tc

 

has anyone else here turbo there 2.2's using the trifecta tuning? I thought hptuners was working on sumthing as well?

 

HPtuners as well as Ls2Edit will not be doing anything for 05/06 L61s EVER. i have the emails to prove it, your options are, AEM F/IC, full standalone(dont want to do tht, u like ur speedo lol) and trifecta canned tune.


unfortunatly....

 

guess what i get to pull out the b&m shift+ cuz they do auto tranny tunes also

 

nice! well mines a 5 spd anyway...i wut do u guys think of the tuning that comes along with the alpha kit? also if i go thru with trifecta do i need to send pcm to them?

 

no its all email tuning and its custom

 

How exactly does this tune thru an email work? I take it you need some kind of cable to hook up to a lap top and your car? How much does this cost for a tune from them? And basicly I can piece a turbo setup together now and get a tune from them and I'm good to go? Sorry guys iv been outta the loop for a while now from here (been almost a year now) seeing it didn't seam like anything was moving as far as tuning so I gave up after I did all my bolt ons.. (Except for a header in hopes that in the near future I would turbo and then get a turbo manifold) so what's the cheapest route to turbo my car now and how much would it cost about? Thanks chris (sry didn't mean to thread hijack either)

 

They send you a PDA that sends tunes to the computer.

If you need something fixed or updated on the tune Vince emails you an update, you place it on an SD memory card and put it in the PDA.

Easy as ****, and well worth it.

 

wut kind of tune does the garrett alpha kit cme with? a new pcm or email tuning?

 

no it comes with SCT....real popular with ford

 

how much is the tune from trifecta?

 

its 300 including shipping unless u want something faster like 2 day its 320...here ill post the thread for you all

its just a reflash canned tune. you cant alter it. your better off to get the GT tuner kit and and buy your own injectors; then have trifecta tune it.
