I found this on the solstice fourm it says they work with all the ecotec 2.0 2.2 and 2.4 and the cobalt is listed under the cars. Being that its only 99.00 plus shipping and their core price is only another 99. vectors is 400 and 200, im gonna call em today and see whats good has anyone else heard of these guys and am I wasting my time or what?

i just read that somewhere but let me know how that works. im looking for some sort of tune. and that vector one i thought was only 400 to send them ecm and they send it back. hmmm dont know anything about hptuners yet.

ryan.

 

its 600 if you want them to send you an already tuned pcm and if you want to you can send your stock one back for the 200 bucks to be returned

 

whats up with you people and using the NWS sign...u do know what it means right?

 

I have no clue what it means?

 

I think they believe it means "news", not "Not Work Safe"

 

N=not W=work S=safe. I made the mistake too and thought it said NEWS but when I looked again I saw it had no "E" in it.

Its a simple mistake to make.

 

what they said, usually used on threads that would be in-appropriate to view at work...

 

Damn, this is hella NWS, I wish I never clicked on it at work.

NWS=NOT WORK SAVE, not news

 

Yeah, when i was a noob I clicked on a nws thread when I was at school about the supposed location finder with a satellite to you're very location. Turned out to be a gay **** you know..... learned really quick what nws meant.

 

holy christ did that one go off topic quick...lol

anyway, let us know ho wit goes, love to get a tune in the summer.

 

for the rrice,this blows the other box tunes out of the water.I too go to the soltice forums and alot of them are saving their $$$ and going with the boxed tunes

 

Wonder why they'd sell it for so much cheaper? I guess it really just doesn't cost that much maybe..

 

To reflash a Computer? I doubt it cost's them anything.
I'll be watching this thread, so one of you folks better hurry up and buy one

/edit:

Anyone notice this awesome tidbit?

Written by PCMforless.com
Go to http://www.akmcables.com/ and purchase one of his OBD1 cables for $90. I will then send you your program for $50 and the software to load it into your PCM. There are four great benefits of this service.
# I can email you updates of your program if you make changes to your car and you can load them yourself.
# No waiting for an available exchange PCM. I can email you the program and you can load it the same night.
# Free diagnostic software. You will find links to lots of free scanning diagnostic software that is compatible with this cable at his website and you can read your own codes and monitor your car's performance.
# No shipping costs for the PCM. Sorry available for 1994 and 1995 OBD1 vehicles only The only requirements for this service is that you have a computer that you can load the software with. Any pentium class or higher machine with an available serial port will do this. You can even use your desktop machine if you can get it close enough to your car. We are also offering email tunes to customers that own their own copies of LT1 edit, Tunercat, LS1 edit, or HPTUNERS software. We can build you a great starting file for you to work with, or can work back and forth with data acquisition to help you fine tune your car/truck.

 

right but it says only available for 94 and 95....

i got all sorts of excited....


Im going to call them tomorrow and if it works for the cobalt im going to order it tomorrow so i guess ill be the guinnepig (sp?)

 

We are OBS2 so don't bother. OBD1 won't work. End of story.

 

no im gonna get pcmforless' tune not the cable

 

Ooops, my bad

 

removed the NWS! icon.

 

your good deed for the day has been accomplished

 

sweet i wont make that mistake again <---- (idiot)

 

I don't want to be a "Debbie Downer" but don't expect much of a change from a mail order tune. It's probably one of the worst ways to get a tune that is accurate to your needs.

I'd personally just learn how to tune and get HP Tuners. That way you can learn much more about computers and how they work.

 

I dunno man the solstice guys love it from what ive read about it, Its definatly more of a conservative tune but for 130 bucks versus 500 for hptuners and countless hours of my car being all sorts of fucked up ill take the first one

 

hondata tune ftw.

 

Why would your car be fucked up?

And that's what tuning is all about...learning...changing and progressing. What are you going to do when you get heavier into your vehicle? There isn't going to be a reflash for you.
