Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 22y 2m 13d Posted 22/12/04 12:48 PM Share Posted 22/12/04 12:48 PM No, the AF fluctations you witnessed are perfect, and part of the learning curve for the system. Unlike a piggyback that comes off the dyno with perfect AF ratios and turns to crap in a week, the tuned PCM adapts constantly to a perfect aim ratio....just like the factories do, and stays there pretty much forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot wait to see them results. macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mals BA XR6T Member 381 Member For: 22y 3m 6d Location: Sydney Posted 22/12/04 07:17 PM Author Share Posted 22/12/04 07:17 PM Thanks Street Tuner. I appreciate your comments.Also, I thought that the timing/cams control was changed, and this should have produced more bottom end? (After 2 years with the Turbo, I still miss the bottom end pull of my old AU 5ltr)On the topic of Traction Control, can someone shed some light on what I have experienced. This never happened in stock form.It feels like Traction Control has changed?? It doesn't seem to work as good? I don't know if this is just the extra power now pushing it beyond it's limits or not?Talking about things that have changed; Is there a list of changes that the 8 PSI tune has made to the standard program eg Timing?Thanks againMal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gear changes are NOT firmer, IMO they are the same (excluding point 3 of THE GOOD of course)Commanded line pressure is at maximum for the force motor in your gearbox. The shifts might not feel any firmer because we stop the throttle from closing down the power on gearchange. If the throttle was allowed to shut (like stock) the shift would chirp the wheels.Could you please explain this further,If I read this correctly your saying if the throttle was closed like the factory tune does, the tyres will chirp, how can making less power (throttle closed) make the tyres chirp on a gear ghange, something I thought would require more power.I am not sure how the boxes work but it sound arse about to me, but I am happy to be corrected.
