What are the other ecu tuning companys. Because Im going to start bugging more companys to bring tuneing to the 06 2.2.

 

Dude, HPTuners is cracking it and will be out by late Spring, no need to "bug" other companies and **** them off.

 

Is there a date yet or are they just saying that like they have for all this time?

 

I agree we cant just rely on one company to come thru. Its a good idea to have some other options in case one doesnt come thru

 

Thats my thinking I emailed hptuners last week and they said that they dont know when there going to crack it. So if another company gets into the mix then hptuners will hurry up and crackit.

 

well i'm on the bandwagon. lets crack this bitch so us slobalt owners can get some much desreved respect.

 

Lets start making a list of other tuning companies and heres a thought lets make a list of all the people who will buy tuning from hptuners if it comes out, and ill send it in to them might get a fire under there but's.

 

Not to burst any bubbles but there was a thread awhile back, probly before most of you were members were Bill from HPTuners posted about this.

HPTuners is releasing a 2007 Cobalt tune platform, we raised questions about why not the 05-06 2.2's and he said this. They only have one person that cracks the computers and he's been working extremely hard. The PCM for the 05-06's were only used in the Cobalt and only for 2 years. So Cracking it isn't as easy as most might think.

We then raised a question as to when we can see support. He said late Spring at the latest.

Emailing a Company asking about an upcoming product or w/e won't truely help. They're hard at work and have given us the attention to even try to crack our computers. (be happy with that)

And think about this, some of the vehicles that are out (and supported by HPTuners) had to wait 7 years or more for tuning. Its truley not as simple as getting a PCM and "cracking the code", there a lot more in it.

JUST BE PATIENT

Edit: Tune Time Performance was supposed to "tune" a 2.2 sometime back, never heard back from the member or company. Possibly a few good reasons for that.

 

Your probably right Ill wait till spring then

 

Sorry it was so long

Had a lot to say.

Once summer comes and we have no updates or relases from HPTuners then I say goto other companies.

 

I bought the 2.2 for a reason anybody can buy a ss/sc and a stage two and go fast but to take an ls or an lt and smoke a ss thats something to be proud of.

 

I know we're going to get flamed for saying so That Cobalt LT Guy is right on. I bought a base model so I could make a car fast. I'm not saying that making the base fast is better than making the SS fast, but I am saying that it's more rewarding to do the work than to buy it that way.

I think the delay has been good for those at this site who had no idea about how to prep their engines for turbos. Many of us who are waiting for releases just wanted a tuning solution so that we could buy a turbocharger and beat everyone on the streets. This delay has given us time to think about what else needs to be done to our cars so we don't blow up our cars. Had they released their tuning solution a year ago, how many Cobalt drivers would be complaining about weak engine internals and blowing up their ECOTECs?

When it comes out, it will have been worth the wait. If anyone from HPTuners is reading our site, I hope they see how eager we are to invest in it. I also hope they see how patient we've been to see our car supported.
