Quickly learning to tune myself
Friday, August 04, 2006 8:01 PM
I couldn't think of a better title.
Monday morning, I'm scheduled to get the GM Supercharger Reflash. Yay and Boo at the same time.

I would rather tune the car myself. I have a Wideband 02 gauge before anybody says anything about that.

How difficult would it be to learn enough to make a rudimentry boost tune for my Ecotec? The time limit would be around 12 days. I go back to school in 14. I'd like some play time.

I have no real obligations until then, so I could put lots of time into it. But as of now, I know nothing other than what I can do. I have no idea how to do it.

So is this feasible, or should I get the reflash, learn for a couple months, but another ecu, then go from there?

I have the GMPP Ecotec Supercharger Kit.

From what I've seen, tuning is not something you should do half-assedly. Get the reflash, learn about hpt for a few months, then swap a stock ecu in and have your fun. Or you can always pay for someone to tune your car with hpt.

the thing that makes it the easiest to tune is having a spot where you can top out 2nd and 3rd gears now around here short of going to a dragstrip or driving 20 miles its just not possible, thats the biggest thing i run into, i like going to the dragstrip to tune

HP tuners isnt the kinda thing where you can just make a test run and see your numbers then make a bunch of adjustments and have it perfect, it takes alot of fine tuning, im on prob my 15th flash or so and im just inching closer towards what i want
