Fgxxr8 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Hi, I have a 2015 ford falcon fgx xr8 auto. This is the factory supercharged 5.0 engine with zf auto gearbox. I wanted to flash in a 2014 FPV GT-F 351 tune with zf auto. So i would have a factory tune but just a bit more power than I currently have. Both these cars have the exact same hardware but different tunes. Is there anyone on here that could do it for me? Please email me and advise of your cost. Quote

Roland@pcmtec Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Do you have the tear tag/calibration ID for the FPV 351? Without this no one will be able to do this for you. Quote
Fgxxr8 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Posted February 17, 2019 So what would be required if i do myself? Get the $300 package get a base GT-F file and morph with my fgx tune? Quote

Then if you merge you need workshop as there will be thousands of parameters in workshop that you won't be able to see. You could just blindly flash the entire file with pro but you may run into diff/gear ratio issues if they aren't the same. Finally if you have modules that don't match you'll be stuck with a check engine light and non functioning ABS. If this was the case you might need Ford IDS to reprogram it. Definitely recommend you pay a workshop to do this for you. This sort of stuff is a headache to do which is why I doubt anyone will touch it for under $600 1 Quote
Fgxxr8 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Posted February 19, 2019 I had a workshop say they would do it for $375 but on sct. Another shop said if i fit an exhaust in their shop they would do it for free. Im really sceptical as how do i know its the genuine tune. They coukd just flash my file in and i wouldnt know any different Quote
BDAZLA Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 Did you end up doing the tune on you XR8 to match the GT 351? Quote
