Tex Member 56 Member For: 20y 5m 20d Location: Brisbane Posted 13/01/07 06:53 AM Author Share Posted 13/01/07 06:53 AM There is a bit of a story to my Xcal2. When Kris from Sports Compact sent it to me after I flashed my car the auto went into limp mode I think he accidentally put a manual tune in it. I sent the unit back to CAPA they sent me a new unit as I sent he old one back to them. I must say that Tony from CAPA did all he could do to help me so I could get the car on the road with a tune before I went on holiday (I am sending this post from my apartment at Kings Beach) Even though the first tune had a problem I would recommend Kris from Sports Compact the tunes that he gave me were adjustable +or - and he charges less that CAPA for the unit. He supplies them with three generic tunes. He sold it to me for less that what is says on his Ebay shop give him a call for a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to give him a call. Have you used the logging at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock fuel pump is what made it go to 12.3's!! I have never seen a tune of his go into the 13's. heresay. GOING ABOVE 12.7'S WILL NOT GAIN ANY POWER OVER RUNNING RICH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never said that he runs them lean to get power. One thing I don't want to do is cause anyone to think negative about a tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still recomended to get a custom tune then you have adjustment from there.Muzza←The retail price is $1245 inc GST.Regards,Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They flash the ECU just like the CAPA flash but have the ability for the user to make small adjustments. The amount of adjustment that can be made depend on what the tuner allows when they create the file that is stored on the Xcal to be flashed to the ECU. CAPA only allowed my tune to be given more fuel and less timing. However they can be set up to have +or- timing & +or- fuel. The amount of timing and fuel that can be changed are only small e.g 2 degree +or- timing 6% fuel. There is no adjustment for boost. Hope this helps. ←Tex,Good result with the XCal2 In regards to the boost adjustment due to the various ways that boost can be controlled (open loop or closed loop), it isnt really possible at this point of time to offer boost adjustability with the XCal2's.Cheers,Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
