cjl Donating Members 65 Member For: 21y 10m 22d Location: ACT Posted 19/09/10 06:48 AM Share Posted 19/09/10 06:48 AM Guys,A couple of weeks back I had my G6ET tuned by GenTech in Canberra. I am very happy with the outcome.The car was 100% stock except for a XR8 air box and snorkel fitted at the same time as the tune.I specifically mentioned I was not after peak power, just good drivability and low boost reliability.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it feel much different???I'm not being sarcastic... Just curious.... Edited 19/09/10 07:17 AM by Worm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjl Donating Members 65 Member For: 21y 10m 22d Location: ACT Posted 19/09/10 07:24 AM Author Share Posted 19/09/10 07:24 AM Yeah, it certainly feels stronger. It seems to suit my driving style. It's around 25kw more in general driving, and feels very torquey, unless you get up it and then it gets nice and strong up top without feeling peaky.I will either go an exhaust (Defilippo) or cooler next and then pull some more power out of it.

With my middle exhaust removed you can really hear the cutout give the engine note a huge cough during full throttle upshifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But might have to rethink it as I do too much slow city driving that doesn't feel so good with an abrupt shift under part throttle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But might have to rethink it as I do too much slow city driving that doesn't feel so good with an abrupt shift under part throttle.....I had torque reduction removed toothen flashed back to stock, and I miss the spark cut on shifts, it sounds great...so I decide to go to the tuner and get them to load a new file same tune but torque reduction as per factorydrove around the corner flogged it a few times and flashed back to original power tune with torque reduction removedcant tell you how crap it was, the spark cut didnt activate even with torque reduction enabled, all torque reduction did was give the car lag when floored, nail it, it goes ok but slow then a second later the power is unleashed.... kind of like lag even though its not..... I was relieved to flash back to how it was.... but I still want the spark cut on shifts, they tell me its the transmission end that has to be modified, as as mentioned all torque reduction was returned to stock in my 2nd file and the car still wont spark cut on changes (only does it when flashed back to stock)also even tuned I cant build much boost stationary before the throttle cuts, been trying sone 2nd gear launches boosting off the line, and when it lets me my 0-100km/h time is same as taking off in 1st LOLas you mentioned with gear shift, when I took it to the 1/4 I had trouble in performance with very slow shifts, and also crappy 1-2 shift under very light throttleno after plenty of driving and thrashing it, it shifts as quick if not quicker than stock, part throttle 1-2 shift is improved, but not seamless like it is 100% stock Edited 20/09/10 07:33 AM by andrewd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
