Well seeing my build thread didn't take off and its all of 3 posts long and way down the page ill just post like normal lol..... for thoes of you that have been tuned you tell vince your mods but what else "special" have you asked for? Like rear o2 sensor disable? Speed limiter lifted? Thoes kinda things. Also anything I. Should know about this tune?

 

rev limiter upped? i dont know what other "special" things can be done but what you and i listed. but the tuning process is simple. i can try and assist you with it

 

Oh what should I have him up the rev limiter to? 7?

 

if you got the valvetrain for it sure. i dont think id go past 7200 with a stock valve train tho

 

set it at 7500 and you wont hit your rev limiter at 7200

 

How do you think the counterbalancing shafts would like 8k? (16k for them)lol

 

16k?

 

Don't the counterbalancing shafts spin at twice the engine speed?

 

ooh thats what your talkin about. i thought you meant it was $16,000 for them...and to answer your question. i dont know **** about them lol. i read about them a little but didnt pay much attention

 

oh. lol

 

They don't spin at 16k, they were just using it as an example.

Say at 8000 rpms you were making 250 hp, but because you don't have balanced shafts you could lose 8 hr, then at 4000 rpms you would only lose 4, if you were to make 16000 you could lose 16.

IMO wouldn't do it unless you had cam's and valvtrain already.

if that's your mods get headers and downpipe. That will get you the best gain for your build right now. if your sticking with N/A 1 5/8 primaries into 2.5 collector and downpipe. If you have any questions about N/A builds you can ask me or any other vets on here.

 

This.

 

im going supercharged... sorry didnt mention that in here.. just said my "build thread" but like i said no one posted in it lol.... and that mods list is 2 yrs old at least..

 

I/C pump on with ignition on...Cooling fans on with engine start...Disable ac with 75 percent throttle...Be specific! Its your car.

 

I wire the ic pump up myself so he won't control that. Why fans on with start? And I don't use my ac often so that's not a big deal. I just don't know what will benifit me or what to even ask for

 

"special" things i got were

-Fan high setting on @194*
-rear o2 delete(comepletly, the o2 bung in the DP is plugged)
-"numb'd" up the knock sensor so it would stop pulling timing from false knock


that should be it, everything else is normal, 7k rev limitor...i know he was working on a launch control and no lift shift for the non LNF's...reckless has the tune that has them on it...he's a 07 2.2

 

I just got a tune for 91 octane(AZ **** gas) fans on at 198*,no speed limiter,rev limiter @ 7200,rear o2 delete,and.............I think thats it.

 

What is the advantages of the rear o2 delete? To use the bung for a wideband?

 

Because I live in Arizona and its hot as hell.

 

I wish it was hot as hell here lol... so far I told him no speed limiter, raise rev limit, rear o2 delete (for my wideband) then I made this post... can u explain more about this knock sensor? And no lift **** would be cool.... launch control for sure... ill have to ask him about that. Even tho he hasn't replied to my emails in 2 or 3 days and won't answer the fing phone! My friend is willing to buy a cable and or be a vendor and the guy won't return contact??? Def not the best at customer service I see

 

vince with trifecta is a busy man.

it's even hard for me to get a hold of him consistently due to his schedule. be patient and be persistent.

 

my knock sensor issue is not one that everyone would have, i was getting false knock from something that was hitting on the outside of the engine, not from real knock, so it was pulling timing thinking it was rod knock...

 

Uhh, you don't put the wideband in the rear o2 sensor (after the cat). The wideband must go before the cat or you will get false readings.

While Vince is an intelligent man, he certainly doesn't get back to you in a reasonable amount of time.

 

^^ we put it there hence we are catless

 

damn.... so now what do i do? cuz i told him to disable the rear o2.... ummm great also gene im gunnna pm you... i read all 30somethin pages of your build and it was amazing i still have a few questions! so i dont put the wide band in the manifold o2 bung right?
