Posted 28/01/05 09:29 PM Share Posted 28/01/05 09:29 PM This is about sct not being stealth not about who does what better go and find some where else to do that.Like in street tuners section.that's right he can't even donate to site but still rips it up our members.Time for back on topic.The question that needs anwsering is if the dealer reflashes the computor is the sct edit still going to be right for the car or will it need a new custome tune.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should stick to tuning cars rather than putting sh!t on people who only state the facts about your product FACT: My car runs great with the EDITGeeseman your name says it all: GOOSE :lol: :lol: Why are SOME of the piggyback boys so sh*tty about the EDIT :lol: :lol:And the fuss about donating,I see some NON donating members hang sh*t on CAPA and street tuner makes me wonder!!!!!!

I'm not saying every car that uses it has problems, just the one I was replying to. If you read his post he said 'bye bye piggyback's yet he is only making 199rwkw with his. Doesn't make sense does it? If he is gonna make comments like that then he should expect some feedback But then he does it all the time. GOLDIE is right we should get back to discussing the stealth factor of the edit, even though its uses in this regard are unethical in the minds of those who chose to mod and accept the responsibility of doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it comes down to what best suits the individual and his/her car. I am going to mod my T shortly ( aiming for 250rwkw ) and my preference is for covert tuning that does involve hacking my wiring looms. And yes, my preference is for Ford to not know about it.I hope edit, regardless of brand or tuner, lets me achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 29/01/05 12:31 AM Share Posted 29/01/05 12:31 AM Spent $12k more running 10psi more and 120 rwklw more and only 0.8 quicker and NO warrantyAs for warranty, I don't need it. My car is tuned in real time to avoid detonation, surging etc. I also run good fuel so I won't be blowing up my engine anytime soon Funny you mention that as I was running a APS UNICHIP which had Vortex 95 premium unleaded with nulon octane booster in it when the car detonated SO MUCH FOR PIGGYBACK'S AND REAL TIME TUNING A Last post regarding this as I could'nt be bothered I've got three kid's and rather be watching the wiggles and drinking pinneapple juice with :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it comes down to what best suits the individual and his/her car.My point is that if someone mods their car then has a fault with it and claims warranty on it it will ultimately affect the warranty costs for ford (if the faults were a result of the extra power in the car) which affects the retail price of the car. Warranty is provided for consumers who dont change the power output of the vehicle. Funny you mention that as I was running a APS UNICHIP which had Vortex 95 premium unleaded with nulon octane booster in it when the car detonatedThat would be an issue if the car was tuned to 98ron fuel and if the vortex you put it in was poor fuel which was most probably the case. I recently had slight detonation when running a different type of fuel. I bled the tank and replaced it and all is ok. Up to that point Ive never had trouble with detonation and I have a unichip tuned by your old tuner. So, fat chance it had anything to do with the tuner or chip Either way, flogging the car whilst it is detonating is asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford_Power Member 798 Member For: 21y 7m 24d Posted 29/01/05 05:45 AM Share Posted 29/01/05 05:45 AM I have a question... the XR6T is fitted with knock sensors, yet a few of you guys said that you were geting detonation.Does this mean that the Unichip also affects the engine computers ability to retard the timing in order to avoid detonation? I would be very worried if this was the case.Im assuming the SCT method of direct PCM flashing would not have this problem.Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
