just wanted to hear what guys who have gotten it have said know its been out for a little while now and wondering if all the bugs have been worked out heard there were a few little things wrong at first that were fixable just a pain

 

the tune is not perfect when you get it, i think you get a week to datalogg, and report back to have adjustments made, so it can be as good as you can logg...so far i think the n/a tunes are pretty set, as far a f/i its still being worked on, i know i called vince and was told he was waiting the XXcobaltXX guy to get his done...so im watching that guys thread closely waiting for soem results

 

yea im looking for N/A...im a little lost what is datalogg...like little bugs in the tuning that have to be worked out

 

well dataloggin is recording everything when the car is running, its helpful when tuning, or what you can do is just go to a dyno and get a a/f dyno run, you should be able to just use that, but those with f/i on their minds, datalogging is a must if you want the tune to be as perfect as it can get

 

so were they ever able to get the transmission tuning down for the 2.2 auto tranny for 05-06

 

ME! yes the tranny tune is done

 

ok so can we get it sent or do we have to go to him to get it done

 

he can send it out to ya, just like all the other tunes.

 

alright cool thanks

 

will this ever been offered in any other form other than canned?

I want to tune actively and I'm sure others want to also.

 

any word on the 07 tuning progress?

 

What kind of cost are we looking at here.

I'm very interested.

 

I think it's $275 + Shipping for the GT Tuner Rental but you should just ask Clear Image Automotive for the details.

 

Damn. Thanks.

 

Has anyone done the 2.4L Throttle body with this tune. I ordered the TB and want to know if it will work.

 

Yes, excellent question....In fact the 07 ECU/TCM has been cracked, Vince got a car and tuned it. The 07 Tuning should be available sometime in the next few weeks.

Also, there is another way for a tune aside from him sending the GT Tuner to you...he successfully tested a cable/software driven platform last week for an 07 Impala SS which he will be writing software for to support the Cobalts (all models). That will run about 250 dollars or so. Basically what he does there is sends you the cable (usb to obd2) and the software. Then he can email tunes to you on the spot, about 3 maybe 4 tunes at a time.

Hopefully when i email him today he will tell me the progress made on the 07 tune (will all stock components) then he will be writing a tune for the 07 2.2 with the 2.4 manifold installed and be sending me a beta version on the dyno here.

So hopefully that answered some of your questions.

Oh and right now, there is a tune for the 2.4 TB on the 05-06, the 2.4 TB may/may not work on the 07 cobalts right now as there is no tune available yet for that.
Stock to stock swap of the 2.2TB and 2.4TB will not work as it will fire off codes at you and throw your car into limp mode. So don't try it without the tune in your hand.

 

why cant a company come out with a normla way to tune our cars VIA laptop and cable. Email tunes are just crap arg.....

 

Better than nothing though man.

 

uggghh, i really want HPT fpr the l61.. HPT>canned tune

 

X 2

But atleast people are starting to crack it open a little. I remember not to long ago when everyone kept saying there would be no tuning available ever for our motors....so I guess its a start and better then nothing! HPT will eventually catch on

 

Yea, HPT refused to make a tune for our engines. Vince of Trifecta has been the only one to crack it so far...and its not a "canned" tune. Its fully custom. My tune is different from the next persons tune. Its not just programmed and sent out. He works with you and makes it for your car in particular. He's working on a few turbo'd 2.2's and he just got done with the tcu tune. I doubt HPT will ever release a 2.2 tune.

 

Well SCT cracked it too for the Garrett Turbo Kit. However it is only for the manual tranny cars. Wish it was for autos.....not cool. Weres the auto love? lol

 

yea. thats why im glad i was the beta tester for Vince

 

Haha good point! Hows the tune wokring out. And what does/can it do for us autos?

 

this is the response i got back about 2 weeks ago.


No further developement at this point, we have hired 2 new engineers to help add support & parameters for current and other pcm's but E37 2.2 support will come before the older E16 2.2's.
