thought i may revive this thread!! so after some consideration. I think tuning my own car is the best idea for me (as i can get the results i want) AEM wideband laptop dlp8 openport 2.0 *its got a base tune in it (have a mate who knows what his looking at to come by an have a look at the tune next weekend* at this moment, im chasing an odd issue its got a base tune in it (have a mate who knows what his looking at to come by an have a look at the tune next weekend* comes into boost, feels like a misfire but it feels like it hits a wall, when its warming upto operating temp (5-7 mins of driving) after 20-35mins it starts to feel like its hitting a wall. (starts doing it from about 2000rpm when it comes into boost, as low as 2psi anything over that it just hits a wall) it has no crappy idle. afterwards or anything. in vaccum it drives like a dream 5500km old genuine coils 5000km old ford plugs gapped to .7mm new fuel filter new OEM delphi fuel pump in mail. (it does need a new intake gasket) new bosch oxygen sensors people have said its valve springs tune it needs new coils/plugs torque reduction from the NA computer for the box. so im starting with the complete basics. so they are atleast covered an renewed. any tips on things to log? mate thinks if the timing is too low with it being rich it MAY be the issue.

thanks mate. goes back to my OG brain point. best left to the pros! appreciate the helps guys

thanks alot for that puff wagon. it has had a "base tune" by a tuner, im going to get him to polish it off. an then i will play around with more overtime. im extremely conserved with my timing as (safer the better) but now you bring that to alight it suggests not always. safe is best. it can use other issues. hoping to not use knock ears, as me been conservative with timing as sticking to around .90 lambda in my base fuel map.

thanks guys. appreciate the help. with regards to tuning hardware... obviously a wideband is required. are knock ears a must or an option? im going to keep timing about 7 degrees (overly safe i get it)

@Bill do you know if forscan has the ability to reset the adaptive shift patterns?

sorted it out mate!! thanks a ton

ive tried clicking on TCM an i cant actually click on it, its actually blanked out. maybe i have no idea what im doing lol. i have the "fg xr6T"one

thanks so much bill!! it seems that the file im using in the demo does not have it!! that explain it!!

hi bill thanks so much for that. i have been playing around with the demo. i am trying to understand pressures, the "how to ZF trans maps" i couldnt find the command prompts i searched for them an had no luck. this is me having a play around with the demo creating a what i might call "safe" timing an fuel map

hey guys. i currently have my ZF BF with 320km installed in my NA falcon with a turbo on it. running 5psi. was wondering is it possible to use the NA TCM into the turbo box with no issues? or do i need to match all the serial numbers etc? or just drop the valve body replace all the seals an then bolt back up an off ya go. ? there's nothing wrong with the box besides (minor slip from 3-4 at low RPM) what sort of learning curve to tuning the box is there?

hey guys! thought id revive my dead thread on this topic, so sticking to the original plan car has 315km on it. i wont be tuning it. 3 - 5psi adjusting with a boost Tee stock everything else stock fuel set up (new pump, an 4 bar reg) my biggest concern is the valve springs an gearbox (flares when cold between 3-4 very slightly, besides that its fine)

update: i have secured a 182K bf MKI with a BTR service history (box has been rebuilt an serviced every 10k with oil filter was done) (payed 1000 bucks for it) the zf BF is now my daily. has anybody dealth with COREtuned at newcastle or Euro Prestige in vineyard? they seem to be the guys ill be looking at using

hey JPM. thanks so much for writing back. i have decided to let a professional handle it, the fella im going to take it to.. he has tuned a few of these things, his going to road tune it. (495) im currently looking to buying a BA falcon with a 4 speed in it.. i cant come to blow up the BF if it comes to that.. (if it was to happen, back to the drawing board MKII BF lpg motor with valve springs an E85) i have picked up some 550cc injectors for 50 bucks (to be flow tested) if they are shit ill just bin them. regards to the ECU,wiring harness an boost controller. i 100% agree with you an see where your coming from. the stupid money people want for that stuff. isnt worth it (i seen a guy selling a harness/ECU for 1300) im also currently looking at a bigger intercooler over stock > this build will no doubt blow out of budget but hay why the hell not lol. 7psi is the number i look at, i will be using a boostT to wind up the boost an the lock it off, once we are there.

thats why i am asking if you could tell me a tuner you feel could help me

thanks so much for that puff wagon, i saw that roland said that the box will sh*t the bed.. ive seen BTR 4 speeds with 400,000km N/A+T's take 270rwkw.. i was thinking that the ZF6 are built even N/A are built a little bit better in regards to tuners. ive spoken to a few of them.. some wont tune it "its to much work" or its gonna cost you minimum 2700 i spoke to 2 tuners who were quite reasonable on the phone , hearing from others.. they have a lousy reputation. sad thing about the car game. i also want somebody whos going to listen to what i want.. not the fattest figure on a piece of paper. in regards to my understanding.. the stock fuel pump is the same used in the turbos? or are they different (i didnt look at part numbers thus far) they are VERY easy to change) this is why i have taken such a long time to prepare an research everything i have 90% of the hardware to do the conversion. id rather over prepare then under prepare.

or could you recommended a tuner who you know who has done this before?

hey mate, yes i will be, im currently doing all my research now, (looking to do it within 6-12 months) so basically run the stock tune an then build off that? ive talked to a few tuners an they have said the ZF6 aren't a bad box (aslong as you dont rape them, an dont leave it in Drive) i drive my car quite sensibly, but i understand what you mean.

hey guys, my name is daniel. i am from the central coast of new south! i am currently putting all the parts together for a N/A turbo build. then i thought.. instead of having it blow up on a dyno.. why dont i road tune it myself (plus learning it very fun!) so the plan is to use everything stock from a B series falcon, besides 7PSi waste gate pressure. im using a stock gt3582R from a FG F6 stock B b series manifold stock intercooler an piping (considering buying something slighter larger) 4 bar fuel reg xr6T manifold sensor. stock xr6t exhaust my questions here are... (i have done limited searching on this) can i use a stock XR6T tune? > then build an play around with that (people said no i cant, on facebook groups) "just give it to a tuner an he will work his magic" - id rather blow it up knowing what i did.. then guessing somebody elses work" where is the best place to start in regards to watching videos on PCMtec editing an understanding ? i have the zf6.. can i get away with out tuning the box, or is it worth tuning my end goal is.. great drivability an id like to get at maximum.. 230 rwkw
