Does anyone know if any company is working on handheld tuners for our cars? I dont have a problem sending my ECU in for tunning but i think it would be alot easier to just do it yourself with the ability to revert back to stock settings for warranty purposes.

 

I'm sure someone will come up with one

 

superchips...its almost done

 

for the 2.4 ? w00t that will be sweet.

 

i know... but im sure in time something will come out

 

Superchips doesnt even have a CAN tuner right now on the market, I doubt the NA SS Cobalt would rank very highly with all the other CAN bus cash cows out there. We do however have ECM's available right now We also have new cores you can buy from us for less than the dealer would charge you or for a deposit you can swap cores with us

 

GTPprix, how hard is it to take out the ecm? and what is the return time.. Also I know that you guys raise the RPMS to 7000, should i have to worry about hurting the life of the auto tranny? or the engine?

 

Nah it'll be fine the solstice runs with a 7K limiter stock, the tranny is pretty decent for the amount of power these cars will make mildly modded. It's easy to take out the ECM, just three connectors and we turn it around the same day we recieve it.

 

Westers offer's a reflashed ecm also and a live flash for those of you that live in the dealers areas.

 

on the auto need need to have a way to get rid of traction control

 

We can do that if you REALLY want it lol

 

What about a 2 or 3 bar boosted tune for the E67- possible with your existing tools? (assuming the approriate harware and sensors etc.)
Just wondering...
WopOnTour

 

Yeah, I second that! I am looking to put a turbo on my 2.4L and would definitely want the 2 bar tune... Heard it can be done on the LS series.

 

Do you guys think that there will be a handheld tuner for the 2.0 SS?

 

Where did you hear this from?

I live near Superchips actually and I asked if they would use my car for testing for making a module for the 2.4L VVT engine. Talking to them directly on the phone and via email they have the ability to do it since the new engine software they have supports this engine as well, but they have no plans at this time to make one.

 

Maaaaaaaayyybeeeee hehe in theory yes, just havent done it in practice yet

 

why do you say it like that, would it have negative effects?

 

Isnt there a TC off switch on these things? I dont remember seeing one in the car we did..

 

Just pop it into low.... TC takes care of itself...

 

In that case yes, we'll nuke all the TC

 

yeah no switch which sucks cuz it flys without t/c on, one time it turned itself off when i was in drive on the parkway and the car had alot more *****, it was very noticable that t/c is robbing power constantly

 

hp tuners is supposed to be beta testing this month.

 

where can I find all of the prices i.e core charge. programmed, or purchase a programmed from you. I have a 2.4 w/ auto and I need to find the best alternative for me to purchase this from you

 

taking your ecm out is really easy. i raised my rev limiter to 7200 rpm i love it. i would love a hand held tuner my car is running really rich i would love to be able to adjust my self

 

I'm looking to get a hand held tuner because I want to easily be able to switch between stock and tuned for when I do SCCA races since I race in C-Stock which doesn't permit ECU tuning.
