Exactly, you've only got to look at the States to see how correct this statement is. They have had this sort of tuning solution for years. Would be good to see the same thing happen in Australia.

I've already got my MAF, injectors, S-Trim ready to go.

Just need to wait for this edit to be released (and fix my diff)....Happy Times!!

All the testing seems to focused on the auto vehicles which is great if you own one but will there be much difference in the manual vehicles?

Headsex · 23-09-2005, 07:35 PM

Hi Gambit ... Just so you know, As well as mine being first AUTO AU tuned.. There was a Supercharged (powerdyne) Manual AU in herrods workshop which was tuned also.. With great results.. Even though he had stock injectors, FMU, and pegging maf. (eww)..

Are you able to get a transfer function for the stock AU 70mm maf??

Lightweight wheels = lower unsprung weight which means better handling and suspension response
Lightweight wheels = lower rotational mass which means less interia (and in fact lower gryoscoptic effect which could mean a long lasting LSD at speeds.
Lightweight wheels = lower rotational mass which can also give a similar effect to a lightweight flywheel which again is kind of similar to a underdrive drive mount assembly pully configuration (faster reving!).

All good things!

Dude. just tell them to spin on their office chair!

If they spin, then hold something heavy as they move their arms out they'll slow down. when they pull their arms in they'll gain speed again. Its an easy way to show dummies in a practicle way

You want the stock values?

PM me with what you exactly want, and i'll help where i can..

Dude, when someone wants a proper explanation in regards to why things are; spinning in the chair vs telling why something is the case in relation to something else in the car or other similar modifications I reckon is a better to explain using more relevant descriptions.

It might be long winded, but its proper...

That's just what I wanted to hear. Looks like this is definately on the buy me list.

AUIII XR8 MAN · 29-09-2005, 07:54 AM

So hows the tunning going?

jonbays · 29-09-2005, 08:14 AM

Whats all the talk about 19" wheels affecting the power?

All they will do is change the effective gearing and move the powerband up to a higher speed but not rpm.

low profile tyres would mean this wouldn't necessarily be by much either.

The lightweight wheels stuff is all way out there too.

The theory is good but practic;y the difference on a dyno or the track between a car with 15' steel wheels and 19" alloy wheels will only be the gearing difference nothing else.

lets get back on to the edit program which i want to see if it can also do MAP I6's not just MAF V8's.

I agree with you but unfortunately at many a dyno day on teh turbo forums every single car that had 19s lost power. Why? i don't know.

We even went as far as changing a car on 17s to 19s and measured a 15rwkw drop, and vice-versa when the 17s were returned.

Its just goes to show how inaccurate dynos are, but more importantly they are just a tunign tool. Before and after is what counts. Nothing more.

any more news on this?

itch'n to get it done

Getting there.. Last few days i've been playing with the Shift Torque Reduction...

:>

I now have full engine torque between shifts, and rather than being a firm shift (with my shift kit), it wheelspins when 2nd gear engages.. Noiceee!!

Let you know more as i know more

Danny.

**Grunter** · 03-10-2005, 10:08 PM

Hell I'm looking forward to being able to **** off (or at least manage) the torque reduction and being able to control the auto.

Bring it on!

I knew you'd show your face sometime soon

Did andrew tell you something he shouldnt have????

jimt3te50 · 07-10-2005, 02:19 PM

need to keep this at the top of the page so i don't lose it!

does it look like this will be available soon, say next 2-3 months?

As for the time frame, i cannot quote that.. Im just a tester.. What needs to be done after this is upto somebody else

Capa might have a better idea on when its available..... But i say, it will be soon.. Much sooner than before

Danny.

Will it work on earlier models such as EF-EL.

At this stage, as its Flash Based. No, as the EF-EL eec-iv ecu is not flash based.

**FTE217** · 08-10-2005, 03:36 PM

Danny any new dyno figures ?
Like my kids ask " Are we there yet ?"
Pricing will be interesting, the BA flash was something like $1500 - $1600 wasn't it guys ?
Now I see it advertised for as low as $800 - $900.

Will the same SCT Advantage software work with SCT's USB chip burner? Then it would just be a matter of cracking the definitions and CAPA supplying the ship hardware. 4-position flip chip would be nice.

I suppose adjusting Auto Trans functions would be not possible for E-Series with their external Trans Control Unit...

I am keeping a close eye on my wallet, and the CAPA website too...lol

Bad time of year for money though. Maybe if I don't drink any beer, and give everyone $2 scratchies for XMAS......

Yeah.. I'm also interested in this. I've had this idea of having 3-4 different tunes for a while now, as I drive the car 75% of the time and need it to be stock for the other 25%. I was thinking something like;

#1- Just a 'tune up' of the factory engine settings, more of a fuel efficient setting with no gearbox changes.

#2- Higher state of tune for the streets (engine and gearbox data changes [when I'm in the car

: ]).

#3- Full on street/strip setting (the best you can get out of the car).

The other plus is if the switch is in a positon without a tune, it acts like a kill swich (switch has to be hidden away obviously).

Here's what I'm refering to:

Danny, would this feature be available, and would it be possible to have the different states of tunes for the AU? How would you go about this set up wiring wise? Am I correct in guessing the other end of the cable to the switch (the chip) plugs into the ECU? No flasher box required?

Was supposed to have access to a dyno day, but its been changed till tuesday..

THE Ba Flash tuner from CAPa was 1300 originally i believe..
and now its 995.. With a "base tune"..

Custom tuning costs more obviously.

I imagine the AU will be priced the same as it will be using the same "hardware".

As for when ..... Not sure. Capa can answer this

Danny.

FPVWEPN · 09-10-2005, 04:29 AM

ef-el's use eec-V would this product work on an ef 6 manual?

Yes, the 4 position chip does work with the software. This does not mean E-Series cars will be supported at this stage. (Or possible, I dont know)

The little circuit board plugs into the J3 connector of the ECU, and the wire / switch hangs out the bottom and placed in your location...

I am unsure if CAPA will be selling this or not.. You might need to ask.

MaxPower · 10-10-2005, 11:57 PM

Good news, I've spoken to CAPA and they have said this stuff will be available in 2 and a half months max. and Ive confirmed it will be the same price as the BA flash tuner $995 with basic tune,
