Probably going to be getting my car tuned in a few weeks, was wondering how many people on here with the 2.4L have done so? I'm planning on getting the K&N short ram before this is done as well. and i already have a dealer i'm going to go through when it is time.

What HP gains have been seen with which mods?

Better gas milage?

Thanks for any input....

 

Anyone?

 

i have it done on my car it's crazy, better acceleration, good gas milage, and i do 15.7 @ 91mph before the tune, after the tune a 14.9 96mph,

 

I want a tune on my car, but the guy that does the tuning wont even do my car until I have a wideband...

Another guy uses HP tuners and a dyno, he wants 200 for the tune, then 80 bucks/hr on the dyno

 

Awesome! Thanks sleeper! I have a wideband already, need to install it still but that will be on before I tune it. I ran a 15.66 stock. Was hoping I could get high 14's tuned

 

i want a tune so badly i just dont know where to take it is there somewhere in nj where i can get a trifecta tune???

 

was this a trifecta tune???

 

i lost 9whp with a trifecta tune. i dyno'd on the same dyno and dyno'd 164whp before the tune and 155whp after i was tuned.

 

That's crazy u lost power! I'm going to talk o the guy i'm going to have tune it and have him ask Vince what the average hp gains with the mods usually are.

 

yes by trifecta, Vince make me 3 unique tune and i do 3 test drive, and a choose the best for me, a good low end torque and i get torque on all RPM range, but he make me a tune with a lot on top end but i don't like it, good communication with Vince and you get good result

sorry if my english is bad, i speak french that's why

 

Can't wait to see what I get from the tune. About to order my intake today and try getting that wideband on this weekend

 

i'm not in nj but i'm close by

i had full bolt ons and a tune.. fastest i could do was 15.08.. but that was with a 2.4 60 lol i was trapping like 95 or something .. the tune definitely helped.. idk how much i never dynoed it but but dyno liked it .. and on the way back from indiana with my brother i got 41 mpg and he got 42 mpg in his 01 sc2 (1.9L)

 

Yeah I like my Trifecta tune. It made a huge difference especially since I'm a auto.

 

this is true.. i tuned my friends car who was stock ( minus a K&N filter) it was an auto.. the before and after was crazy it seemed like a new car lol

 

yeah i know i have full bolt ons then finally got the trifecta tune. the performance difference was night and day. I find my car even sounds different now lol.

 

did you get the "canned" trifecta tune or did you get it dyno-ed?

 

what does dynoing have to do with it being canned or not?

 

i guess it doesnt have to be dynoed, i was wondering if he had a tuner do it specifically for his car or the canned tune

 

it was a canned tune, then i did a data log, sent it back to vince to be tweaked(honestly didnt feel any big difference) but wanted to sqeeze everybit of hp i could out of the tune. for the do-it-yourselfer like me the trifecta tune was a great choice for me. If you really know your **** then get a hp tune. both are very good.

 

alright cool thanks man, so you used the flash cable?

 

yep very easy to do just follow the instructions and your set. took like 10 mins for my car to be tuned which included the tcm(ecu for the auto tranny). then did my data log sent the file back to vince he teaked it uploaded it again via my laptop and flash cable and done. It was that easy. Car runs great none of that damn lag feeling it had when stock(which is worse for the auto 2.4's). All in all great product.

 

Has anyone tried or have a catless dp on their car? Just wonder if it would be worth anything on a NA car?

 

minimal gains because we really dont put out that much exhaust compared to sc or tcs, therefore the restriction a cat has is really small. also ive heard only one and it sounded like complete ****

 

I have had my car tuned by vince for 100,000 miles now and I love it. Amazing what a person can do without ever seeing the car.... Would recomend him to anybody...

 

im also trifecta tuned. although last time i went threw them i paid him but decided that the parts werent for me and he wouldnt refund my money so you have to watch out for that .
