discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 25d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 30/05/11 03:04 PM Share Posted 30/05/11 03:04 PM Sorry Steve I missed your questions!Amongst all the background noise its easy to do....now let me go looking for them....Ok I found it. My advice would be to have the transmission internal settings (mechanical) set back to factory, and then use the tuning software to adjust the pressures up where need be. It probably could be done backwards as you request, but I have never tried it so cant give you a definite answer.Cool. I expect Simon at XFT will start from the base unit and tweak pressures from there, I'm assuming from your description it is possible per shift, so it makes sense. I'll probably let him work out the initial bugs and things before getting mine done anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 21y 11m 25d Posted 01/06/11 06:47 AM Share Posted 01/06/11 06:47 AM How different have they been?Does Ford do any mods to the ZF when they get delivered from Germany or do they just install them and treat it as a 'black box'?They move the map locations around in the software a fair bit, which is typical of most manufacturers whether they be Ford, Holden, or even Subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are directly related! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sct Member 30 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Posted 12/06/11 11:49 PM Share Posted 12/06/11 11:49 PM How is overboost related to the gearbox? What is the problem you are getting and if so what is the trouble code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually within the overboost threshold, hence no codes. More strategies are showing the ZF tables on each AdvantageIII update :-)Whether its one year or ten, the ability to tune the ZF is a privileged not a rite, so kiddies don't get your kickers in a knot if it doesn't happen within your expected timeframe.

sct Member 30 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Posted 13/06/11 01:11 AM Share Posted 13/06/11 01:11 AM Ability will become avaliable to end users once tuners have done a one day training course at Herrods , tuners will be notified next week to book in for the one day course so it wont be long.

The wastegate port is not adequate enough to bypass that amount of exhaust gas and causes a few psi boost raise during the shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
