Hi Darryl, ok i better mention that the exhaust is modified, there is a set of Pacemaker extractors with a hi-flow cat and a 2.5in system. Does that make a difference lol? Thx

Hi, just enquiring if there is a guide to tuning for a Cold Air Intake? So what table do I go to and what am I aiming for in terms of changing values? The car is a na xr6, cai is a Streetfighter Cheers

That's weird, i'll be interested in the answer for this one

Ok thankyou for your time, i will get a license and see how it goes Steve

Ok, sorry to drag this out, the navigator does show the pcm file is licensed to be flashed but not edited, so if it is licensed to be edited it will show everything? Also, where does the data come from if i populate the pcm? Thx

Yes, the navigator does show the pcm is not licensed. So, are you saying if i license it i will be able to see the pcm data?

Well, the navaigator only shows the tcm data when the tune file is opened. This file was causing the car to stall at idle and it sounded like it was cammed when it did idle. I flashed the car with a known good tune and it idled normally. I merged the tcm data from the good tune with the first tune and flashed the resulting file and it idled normally Now i then merged the good tcm tune with the whole first tune, the resulting file is larger. Now the owner says it goes a lot better overall. So my conclusion is that there is something in the pcm tune that can't be seen

I see, ok well the strategy in question was done for a vehicle by someone else but it has issues. I don't believe it was done by pcmtec. There seems to be more to the tune than what is showing in the navigator. I think if i could increase the idle speed a bit it would help Thx

Yes i have seen that populate unlicensed file, i didn't know where the data was to come from, can you explain please? Thx

Hi, just a question, if a strategy is unlicensed are you still able to see everything contained in the strategy? I have a strategy that is unlicensed for editing but is licensed to flash, the TCM is licensed and this is all that shows in the navigator Cheers Steve

As per auF2260, but i have read it again and you say to reduce the values there so there is no misfire, i will have to make that adjustment. But the idle did change to more of a lump just after the end of that video Cheers

Well finally got around to flashing the ghost tune, didn't blow anything up so that"s good lol 20181104_113402.mp4

Is tuning the zf so it changes gear quicker the same as fitting a shift kit as was the case back in the old days lol? I would like a bit quicker shift myself in sequential mode, you have to predict when to make the change so it doesn't rev too high

Ok, i thought the colors might indicate a safety part (green), and dangerous (red) lol. Thanks

Just a quick question, why are there green and red colors in the tables? Cheers

Doesn't the main page of your account have the link to download the Workshop version? I think it's a new install not an upgrade as such. The program tells you how many credits you have on the login page. ( modify login )

Alright then, thanks for your help and time Regards, Steve

Sorry, As you watch the tachometer rise as the engine speed increases, the transmission changes into the next gear, let's say into 2nd. Then as the gear is engaged the revs will drop a certain amount, say 3200 rpm, with me so far? Now the revs increase once again as it approaches changing into 3rd gear, instead of dropping 200 rpm as third engages, it would drop about 500 rpm. So, as it reaches say 3500 rpm as we have said already, before changing to 3rd, it would drop to 3000 rpm instead of say 3300 rpm. These numbers are for example of course. I hope this has cleared it up for you, and thank you for helping. Cheers

The drop in revs between 3rd to 4th to 5th to 6th is normal. The performance is great, it's just from 2nd to 3rd it tends to drop too many revs. Yes I believe it has been tuned Thanks

To be more specific, yes from 3500 to 3000 for example. No, after the gear engages the revs will start to climb again until it reaches the point at which it will go into 4th etc. The accelerator position does not change very much. Just so you know, when from a standing start, I press down on the accelerator more, not quite to the floor but more than half way, it picks up speed of course but at about 3000 - 3500 rpm it really begins to get up and go, right up to redline, then it changes to the next gear it'll do the same thing. It will get up to around 150 - 160 klm, and still has 2 more gears to go. Now, do you think that the difference in performance at around 3000 - 3500 rpm is connected to the problem with the rev issue with the transmission? Hope this makes sense Cheers

Well, for example changing from 1st to 2nd it might drop 200 revs then changing inyon3rd it would drop more like 500revs (for example), therefore it loses speed. I am under the understanding it has been tuned, but to what I don't know. It hasn't been rebuilt. I shall try a data log, the Forscan you guys talk about do I need a license to do a scan with it?

No it doesn't clunk or miss or slip, it just drops too many revs as it goes into 3rd. It's mostly obvious when going up hill front a standing start eg lights

Hi, ok if you care to explain sir, I'm all ears lol. Also, it does seem worse going up a hill, and the throttle percentage is only nominal as in speed limit of 60 Cheers

Hi, this might be a long shot but could you point me in the direction of the engine rev settings the ZF changes gear? Meaning is there a table that sets the rev point that the zf will change gears? I have an issue where when it changes into 3rd the revs drop too much, this is only at medium throttle it's ok at wot. Thanks, regards Steve

Oh, ok lol. I'll give it a go then
