jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 4m 17d Posted 02/08/11 12:41 PM Share Posted 02/08/11 12:41 PM How will the ZF tuning be carried out? On the Dyno? out on the road? Excuse my ignorace, but I cant see how a tuner can simulate rod conditions on a dyno?Also.. does this mean generic ZF tunes are feasible?Apart from 400rwkw plus freaks of nature... most will probably benefit from the same tune. Or slight deviations. Say stage 1..2..and 3 depending on your requirements and driving style.Why not take it further. Offer 3 tunes and upload them when different characteristics are required??Personally, I cant see a tuner "custom" tuning each and every ZF individually. And to mos towners,they wouldnt know the difference unlike an engine tune.Anyway.. just food for thought...Personally I cant wait !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 1m 11d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 02/08/11 01:51 PM Share Posted 02/08/11 01:51 PM I've wondered the same thing. Once a tuner makes the transmission tune up with what they consider the must have features and specs, would they ever need to change it again?If you don't like the "standard" tune on offer and want a customised ZF tune then I would expect you'd pay for the time, but I wouldn't imagine it'd be much on top of a standard tune, maybe like $200. This depends on how long it takes them to make the tune up, and how long they plan to to recoup the costs including time. IE do they charge lots more in short term, then drop price after 6 months or whatever...or do they just keep a slightly higher cost from now until the end of time? I wonder how long it will take to create a base tune each tuner is happy with. How many times did I write tune/tuner then? haha.It will be hard to judge tuners ZF tune abilities and quality across states that's for sure.

Nor do they for engine tunes, most tuners will have a base for most mod configurations and this will require some tweaking on the Dyno for each individual vehicle. Still a custom tune but they do have a base starting point and vehicle history to start from.It isn't all from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman Member 88 Member For: 15y 3m 25d Posted 14/08/11 12:25 PM Share Posted 14/08/11 12:25 PM Like engines no two transmissions are alike, different wear, pressures, manufacturing differences and they are attached to different engines making different power and torque, critiacal factors to transmission shifts. Having completed Herrods training on Saturday I can happliy say the software give me great confidence and I look forward to first getting my own BF spot on and then tuning the ZF transmission, I'm sure their are a heap of people out there with a handful of issues and getting no joy from Ford just like me with the poor shift quality of the ZF.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I just thought I'd post up my personal experience so far with the ZF tune having been one of the first customers a few weeks ago to have it done.Here's the link to my experiences: Edited 21/08/11 03:22 AM by Ezz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
