So I had my tune installed last week and have only had a chance to drive my car a few times since but my immediate reaction was that it felt the exact same or even a little bit slower. All the posts I've read about tunes on here it sounds like it made a big difference and im wondering why I haven't felt it. Also I thought the tune changed the tach limiter to 6500 from 6200 and my car seems to still be shifting at 6200. Im debating on going back to stock and then trying to download the tune again to see if it makes a difference. Any other suggestions?

 

Have you tried a throttle reset?

 

What "tune" was installed? Honestly didn't know you could download a tune on these cars. I thought you had to ship your computer to EuroCharged and have them flash it to your PCM if you didn't live near one of their shops.

 

no almost all 6 tuner co. will send you a cable to connect to the obd11 ,then they send you a tune by e-mail and with a laptop you install it ,don't forget to save your stock tune. jim

 

Just on that Jim....(others)
Does the EC OBD2 tune cable have a USB plug on the other end - silly question - of course what else would it have these days...Firewire etc are long gone...
Just wondering if you can use a more generic OBD2>USB cable and avoid the added $100. Anyone?

I just looked at the EC site ...65mm pulley+ECU+TCU tunes $1099
From a previous communication - I know they will also throw in a spare tuned TCU for an extra couple of hundred dollars if you don't want to send yours in.

 

no i have a outdated cable that was used by a local shop and even they say i will need a new one it install a tune.

 

Even having the cable from my car and "new tune" method.. tune for wife's car price was still the same so they got to send the cable too.

 

I've done the EC Tune on my 6 and it took a few times out to really notice a difference. I did the throttle reset like Bill F suggests and it still took a few drives. Where I noticed a slight difference was in the ease to break the tires loose. Before the tune, I would have to kind of stomp on it to get them to break loose - now, I can roll into the throttle (albeit aggressively) and the back end will start to let go.

As far as our shift points changing, I was not aware that would happen on a standard re-tune, but I haven't really checked it out either. That might be a question for EC.

Keep driving it and do a throttle reset - it should come around.

They may have incorporated it within the tune - you need to check - however it wont work without a complimentary Transmission Control Unit (TCU) flash as well. Unfortunately when last I looked, the TCU needs to be sent away = time car is off road....or EC (for $200) will send the tune on a spare TCU - plug and play. That way you have both worlds.
Also in the TCU tune is the manual W/S option.

Many have reported good benefits in the tune previously.

 

Eurocharged did the 65mm pulley, cable and tune for $650. Contact them. I got two tunes, one for 93 and another for 105 that TORCO gives me, Jerry added 1.5 degrees for that, seems 105 should handle more timing but what do I know

 

give it few weeks , for some reason , and I did too, think I was going to feel this big surge of power, it don't work way , it take few weeks for motor and ECU to catch up with the tune , but you will feel it over time , had mine tuned over 5 yrs. now and dam thing still surprise hell out me LOL , now go out and play !!!!!!

 

How did you make out and what vehicle? I don't think a tune without a pulley change would do much. In fact I believe E/C has 3 tunes and many cars with different mods get the same tune. Now get on a DYNO and JeRry will do a remote tune at $150. An hour and then timing and AFR's can be dialed in, worth it to me once I have completed more mods.
An email tune would likely add some timing and lean the AFR's a bit but will be conservative for engine safety. You will need the capability to Datalog, especially the AFR's. I am awaiting my PLX wide and by months end. Does your sig list your mods?
