Tuning Q & A?
Anyone wanna start a tuning Q & A? Maybe make it a sticky?
|
I'm up for it. I could ask at least a dozen questions off the top of my head.

I'll start with a question for Ed. Had my Z06 dynoed last March when you were in Portsmouth(?) I think. Tracked the car 4 or 5 times this year with no apparent problems (miss,etc). Do I need to have several pulls made to check if all the settings are still the same or if there is a problem? Thanks,

Is a tune still necessary when adding a nitrous system using a controller such as "The Interface" by Harris? And if so, what's involved?
|
Thanks for the info, Ed. As I've posted before, the car pulls like crazy coming off all the turns whether in 2nd or 3rd gear. Surprises a lot of people.

I would always recommend at least having a car dynoed after installing a nitrous system. Sometimes these cars are pretty lean to begin with (esp after a header install) so combine that with maybe a dirty MAF, a build up of carbon in the chambers, and it could be a bad situation. At least checking it on a dyno will let you know where you're at A/F wise. |
What exactly does the torque management do on the A4 cars? I know you told me mine was turned off when you tuned my car but I'd like to know what exactly it did and what benefit comes from turning it off.
Thanks |

Turning it off, or decreasing it substantially, makes the trans shift quicker, more firmly, and lessens the time the clutch packs are slipping, which some trans builders say is better for the trans than the slow gradual shifts which tend to let the clutch packs and bands spend more time partially engaged and slipping. |

For the average daily driver, would you simply decrease it or turn it off completely? What is the approximate cost to bring it by Va Speed and have this procedure done? (I live and work in Va Beach) |

I usually start with about 50% decrease in TM, along with shift adjustments. As for cost, it's 400 for a dyno tune for a bolt on car. |
In regards to wideband sensors... It seems to me (who knows very little) that you would need 2, 1 for each bank. Would running one on each side be overkill or ideal and why?
