Lozic ECU + TCU + AWD Tune

[Andy B]

What mods have been made to your car? Good luck tomorrow!

JB4 on map3 with Boostane, AEM drop in filters, snorkels, MBRP and my snipless brake mod ( no wire cutting).

I'm curious if anyone will see any gains by going back to the OEM spark plug gaps after going from JB4 to a Lozic ECU tune..

Some Kudos to Lozic - I sent my TCU back to Lozic to have them change the logic of the shifting (I want auto-upshift in paddle/manual mode except for all nannies off - I don't like bouncing off the rev limiter in general). The package arrived Wednesday morning, according to USPS - today (Friday morning), I got my ship-back-to-me tracking number from Lozic.

They are SERIOUS about customer service!

what did you use to not cut the wire?

They sure are. Order to in my hands (delayed by Labor Day Post office) was 10 days (Korea to Ohio)

How are your plugs by using boostane?

 

[Andy B]

I use a solenoid wired to a switch that inserts a .020" steel blade in between the brake switch. Works great, I have been able to launch on 11.5 lbs of boost this way with 1.7 sec 60'.

Plugs have the usual brown / orange buildup on them but after a couple of tanks of fuel they look fine.

man the answer actually confused me even more lol. i have no idea what a solenoid is bro any chance you have a tutorial uploaded somewhere lmaoooo

I think it would be nice if you started a thread and explain this in detail. Cheers

A solenoid is basically an electronically controlled plunger.

He attached a thin piece of metal to the end of the plunger so when he engages the switch for the solenoid it extends and inserts the thin metal piece between the brake switch and the brake pedal to hold the brake switch in the off position when you depress the brake pedal.

It's the Rube Goldberg approach to not cutting the car's wiring.

Does the switch also engage the brake lights?

Is there a Lozic option for the Genesis GV70 yet?

 

[HoosierStinger]

I have both torque options. The usual sport mode with nannies turned off for both. With ON you mash it to the floor, holds rpms, launch control pops up same as just having the ECU. With OFF, not mashing pedal, it holds the same rpms as ON as you press down on the pedal all the way to about 60-80% total travel until you cross a certain threshold then the launch active pops up and boost climbs higher quickly. As soon as I hear the launch control chime I let off the brake and mash it.

So when you filled out your order sheet to Lozic you selected launch control torque limits OFF?

That is correct and it's what I would recommend. You get pretty much the same benefits as having the limits ON but also have the ability to build even more boost if you want. I would think if someone paired this with the WOT box you could get some consistent awesome launches.

Thanks for explaining, before I was thinking it was one or the other. Sounds like if I choose torque limits OFF I'll get the best of both worlds. If I want to launch at a lower boost I put the pedal to the floor (the same as factory launch control) and if I want to launch at higher boost I push the pedal 60%-80% then wait for boost to build. Do you have the ECU tune as well? If so what max boost did you go with? I'm kinda going back and fourth between 1.4 and 1.5 bar. Not sure if that little difference would squeeze some more life out of my turbos or not. Or any other problems that arise from increasing boost levels.

More timing could be pulled with the 1.5 bar depending on the premium (93) pump fuel quality from what I’ve seen. 1.4bar is still plenty of power/boost and after learning that ecu adapts to higher octanes/quality, I am also likely going to go the “safer” route and choose 1.4.

If you're running only 93 then I would say go 1.4 I believe the difference is just a bit more torque. I run 1.5 with but with meth. Torque OFF You will have lower boost levels and steady RPMs up to say 70% of pedal travel, then you will hear the launch control active chime and boost will build quickly as the rpms start going up even more and the rear wheels can also start spinning if it gets high enough as shown in the videos. What shift reduction and pressure you thinking?

No itd prevent the brake lights from working if anything

I always run 93 and will occasionally add some Boostane. No plans for meth anytime soon so 1.4 sounds right. What about adding some E85 to raise the octane? Do you know if this tune is compatible with a E15-30 mixture? I haven't really found a clear answer to this question and I haven't asked Lozic about this yet. As for the TCU I decided on pressure 2 and I was thinking 7% on the shift reduction. 99% of the time I let the transmission do the shifting. What I really want is whatever shift reduction will make me the fastest. My Stinger is a daily driver like most of us. I will be happy with a high 3 second 0-60 and a high 11 1/4 mile. Hopefully the Lozic ECU+TCU will give me that.
