Puffwagon Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 You could get it to work but it's an exercise in futility. You can flash tune most of the commodores and live tune a handful, including boosted applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffwagon Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 All the info you need for tuning the older efi 6 and 8 cyl Holdens is here. In regard to the other question, you haven't given any information regarding the vehicle. List the vehicle details, engine specs and post the tune for the best chance of diagnosis. Things to check mechanically are; exhaust manifold or turbo gasket leaks, boost leaks, loose wastegate actuator setup that will open the wg flap early.

CHRISNOTH Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 yes that would be handy its a race car running a barra engine 15psi boost HAANGH7 strategy HAAMGH7250723TURBOBLUE_AutoSaveSMOOTH_AutoSave.tec551HP.tec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Nothing in the tune looks like it'll make it come on boost late. A log will help diagnose further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISNOTH Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 thats good thanks puff maybe its the BOV it is a Vortec 35mm adjustable i have it plumbed to vac side may be i just unplug it see what happens its making 550 hp at wheels its got a 4/3 inch pulsar on it thanks for looking at the tune i appreciate it regards Chris Noth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If you unplug the bov it will leak, it needs to have a boost pressure reference to stay shut under boost. In my experience a Pulsar 3584 turbo will come on boost around 3000rpm give or take depending on the intake temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen shot shows 12psi spring IWG-75 2mm preload and wired shut from some testing I did. Edited August 16, 2023 by hjtrbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
