Tork Backend Flash

[StungBlueGT2]

Mine is Awd so I would think that there is big difference in whp and ftlbs torque, but still better perhaps than what I have now

AWD drivetrain losses are only about 5-7% more than RWD. So you’d probably be getting around 420-430whp with a JB4/Lap3. Also Kagantuned’s ECU already made 410whp/470wtq with no other mods on a Mustang dyno and it’s from an AWD Stinger. So that would easily be over 450whp with your mods on a dynojet even with AWD.

That would be awesome indeed and I am looking at the possibility of the JB4 , so I don’t have to have my ECU shipped out , Kagantuned are still working on their stage 2 and with all my mods perhaps the JB4 would do instead of shipping out my ECU

Yeah unfortunately the RC is not anywhere close or comparable to the JB4 or Lap3 piggybacks. You don’t need an ECU tune to get the gains I quoted and the 450whp most people are running with your mods and those piggybacks.

But if you don’t care about warranty issues and only want an ECU tune I suggest Kagantuned.Kia Stinger GT 3.3TT Stage 1 Tune Amazing gains and much better reputation & customer service than the one you said you’re considering.

You recommend them without even working with them on this platform? I'd recommend Tork over Kagan at least we know his shit works.

That would be great indeed

Hey Terry , just have the secondary Cats off , let me know if that jb4 would really work , just looking to get the best results off 94 pump gas with a little octane added for insurance lol thanks

It's a very low risk chance to get extra performance put of your car. I would definitely recommend it as I have been using a jb4 for over 18 months.

First step is to install a JB4 and then lets log it and see what we're working with.

I will do so more research with others who running Jun Bl down pipes with a cat back exhaust to see if they had similar trouble with limp mode lol I can’t have the car going I. Limp mode when I exit a corner on track days lol

Looking forward to it.

RaceChip has no CANbus, FuelControl, or meaningful datalogging. Donate it to Toys for Tots where it belongs and get a JB4 so you can capture some legitimate tuning data to figure the car out before you blow a piston.

Is there any literature to help mechanical novices like me find out what to look for in the logs? Or is that more or less for people who want to fettle with custom mapping?

Hey @Terry@BMS I recently purchased a BMS Pedal Tuner that accidentally got stuck in between my seat and once I pulled it out, the device came apart. I made an attempt to put it back together but now the LED lights are stuck and the buttons don't function. Is there any warranty that covers these sorts of damages? Or could I possibly send it back to be repaired for a small fee? Would hate to pay full price to buy a new one with this one's a month old.

 

[Terry@BMS]

If you need individual tech support just email in photos of whatever the issue is and we will see what we can do for you

TODAY MY BITBOX ARRIVED! But now I can't find my Tactrix 2.0 .... I got 3 1.3's but can't find my 2.0....

I am a little worried about the phrasing of removing safety limits of the torque limits between shifts and throttle closures. Can someone explain the engineering involved into why this is happening and what could happen if removed? Is there enough torque to blow the trans if it is removed?

What are you worried about?

Been running this tune on the shop car for 2 years now, zero issues.

The drivetrain has been rated for 1100Nm from the factory and the factory turbos will never reach that power level.

Now, if you are afraid of the torque limits being raised... the you should worry even more about a piggy back hiding torque limits from the ECU. The TCU determines line and shift pressure based on what the torque limits from the ECU are reporting. If you are using a piggy back the ECU reports false torque limits, thus... you end up with incorrect line pressure and incorrect shift pressure. This is why you will see logs with a piggy back have massive ignition drops, and throttle close on shift. A back end flash will remedy this, giving proper line pressure and shift pressure to the trans.

My .02 on the Kagantuned... I would like to see this tune on a dynojet dyno. Or any other dyno that cannot be manipulated like the Mustang dyno.

Their numbers are good, almost to good... but, only time will tell if the HP and TQ are accurate.

Appreciate it. The only thing keeping me from using your tune is of course having to mail out my ECU all the way to the west coast.

You could do Next Day Air. Cost more but if you can plan it ahead of time it should be send it out, next day they receive and flash and send it back. You get the day after. Doesnt seem that bad.

But flashing at home would be so much easier.... I really think that's the only thing holding a lot of people back from getting flash tunes!
