Are these generic maps like a re-flash or will they be dyno tuned?

What are the performance gains of such a tune?

Got a response from Wayne...

At this point I am in the final stage of signing a sole Dealer agreement with a large Tuning House in Europe. They will supply me with the equipment, files and know-how to tune many cars. One, is the AH.

The deal I am signing, is in the order of $8000, so I am very serious about tuning now. Much more than before. I will be using pro level gear. In your case, programming is via the diag port. Gains will be in the order of 20-25%, depending on other mods you have done. The file is a standard performance tune designed to accommodate a wide range of car conditions and age. It would be the same concept as if you went to another tuning company. They will just whack on a standard file they have.

Cost will be around the $900 mark. I will need to confirm this after the deal is finalised. I will make a formal announcement soon. And perhaps a return to OA........

For $900 I'd want at least a proof of gain dyno chart, and not the usual 'she'll be much quicker now mate' verbal warranty ;)

I just don't think Insurance companies will let me do this. I'm coming up for renewal in a month, and being under 25 with a turbo... i think will make it hard. Don't like the possiblity that a claim by be void because they detect it. Any advice?

I think you're worrying over nothing, insurance company in an accident won't be able to find a computer tune, they aren't gonna waste time trying to find stuff like that on every car they assess unless there are extreme circumstances!!!!

Regarding the tune, will Holden ever revert back to OE tune if you took it in for a service??

Powerchip say that they will retune it if it happens for $100 from memory.

21st February 2008, 05:55 PM
"They will be a performance tune suited to the car and it's many combinations. Unlike the interceptor you have had fitted on top of my tune Gav. Most of you know, the cars run just fine with a general performance tune. I will not be offering a dynotuned flash. This is way beyond the cost offered, and for the few extra kw, not worth the effort."

"Yes, Holden can overwite the flash. I will offer a free reflash providing you come to me."

"I understand people want dyno charts. We all need proof. For those I have dealt with and wanted to see the difference, I did before and after G-tech charts. Personally, if you believe dynos are the absolute, you are sadly mistaken. But, that is up to you. I would rather you be happy with the car, than be fed shit. I am sure my clients will tell you that I explained as much as I could to them. You need to be fully informed.

As per normal, if you are not happy with the tune at time of purchase, I will remove it and you can walk away. I have nothing to hide. Ask and i will do my best to answer you with proper and correct information"

I wish it had only cost that Much.

I spent by Mid-End 2006

Spare Engine & Gearbox = approx $2000
Race Spec Engine Parts(Crank,Rods,Cams,Lo Comp Pistons,Valves,Etc)= $2500 (Trade Price)
Engine Machine work(Twice) = $3000
MoTec M800 Fly By Wire EMS = $5000
Vortech V5 Supercharger Kit for Chev Cobolt & 2" Wide Pulleys inc. all Engine Pulleys = $4000
Towing (Alot of Towing) = $ 1000
Shit Load of Nurofen Rapids = $10 a Packet
Broken Tools from throwing them @ Walls = around $500

Plus other money I forked out in the Process.
Ended up selling most the Gear to the Engine Builder & the Engine Bottom End went in the car with a Stock Head and the Cams when I sold it.

and to clarify 2 points for people aswell to follow on from noir's quote from wanye.
my astra is still running the generic tune aswell, with bigger turbo and all the bits, they are a very efficient ecu.
as for the generic tunes, i know off 2 very similar setups up here, with 10hp difference between the custom tuned, and a generic with my FMIC kit installed. all other mods are the same or very similar, and the generic is the plus 10hp one.
10hp would be a fair gain for a FMIC, and even if it was 10hp or say 15hp for the hell of it, 5hp extra for a lot more cost, in the g's case 4 times the price.

GreyRex
25th February 2008, 01:22 PM
Just a thought I wanted to ask regarding this; in terms of gains per dollar... with a stock turbo car with only a flash, would it be more beneficial to go for an exhaust or a FMIC? I might do both, but was after people's opinions and what may be best... either/or

Preferable would obviously be both an exhaust and an IC upgrade...

But if you can only have one, I'd do the IC, it's more beneficial to engine safety than an exhaust is, as well as giving a moderate or useful gain in power and in terms of 'gain per dollar' is also ahead of an exhaust upgrade, as a full exhaust upgrade will cost you far more than an IC upgrade...

I thought Wayne's operation was in Melb?


As well as the Piasini Engineering Serial Suite, we have also imported the renowned CMD flash tool and software.

After an initial testing and confirmation period, Hold on Tight will be offering tunes for the following cars:

- Mazda MPS 3,


- Mazda MPS 6,


- Mazda CX7,


- Holden AH Turbo Astra,


- Holden HSV VXR.


The service offered will be based out of Melbourne and by appointment. An onsite option may be applicable. The tuning process will be over two sessions. One to read the contents of the ECU, and the second to program the ECU.

Hey mate,

Wayne does operate out of Melbourne, I'm not sure where exactly though. As you can see, his main focus are the Mazda's... but the Astras are included as well.

Did you get that information forwarded to you by Wayne? I've been emailing him every couple of days as I am very keen. I think you'll find stock gains will go from 147kW at the engine to about 170ish (so VXR type power). At the wheels i'm not sure. The stats that you see there are in Italian, so I think they need to be converted. More importantly, torque will increase to about 300nm, or just under VXR levels.

One very important thing which he is currently finding out for me is how the flash will work with the Sport button. I asked how it works on the vxronline forum in the UK, and people say the tuners install two maps... one for normal and another one for Sport. Wayne felt that may be more marketing hype than anything, but i'm even i'm unsure. There seems to be differing opinions here on if/how it works. For example, I wouldn't want it to be flashed as standard, then when I press Sport it goes back to the stock Sport map. That would be pointless for me. He hasn't got the answer for me yet in relation to this one, as he's finding out from his supplier.

Apparently he'll be up and running in March, as equipment is currently being received. He's very approachable so I would contact him if you have any queries. I would say he'll let us know on here when he's up and running.

When I find out more i'll let you know too:)

I read about it on the UK forums as well with the "Jeckyll & Hyde" maps. Would be great having the frugal and spastic options with the "Sport" button.

As for the maps, they are the same, just switches throttle profile between Sport and Stock mode.

Ok do you honestly believe its Market Hype with the sports button then you have really got to be kidding your self.

Go and drive your car in a car park hold the accelrator down a little with a constant hold while driving then press the sports mode and see if the car pics up somewhat .

Now as for www.vxronline.co.uk I would be trusting what they tell you as you will find that 3 of the Major Tuners ( TMS , VXRPC & Courtanys) and they are 3 trusted names in the UK

I've just gone back and had a look at the changes of the re-map and knowing that there is an increase in power (especially torque and 0-100km pace) AND reduction of petrol consumption (prima facie) then that is impressive!!

By undertaking the re-map what sort of warranty will be provided regarding the hardware (i.e. ECU) that will be affected?

It is pretty exciting times - a proven product (from Italy)...

One question Noir (** I apology for any ignorance shown towards you re your past experience with qualifications/history of tuning**) but what sort of training will be required of you (i.e. from Piasini) to undertake the modification or are you well experience/qualified to do so now?

Thanks

They will reset you boost if they read the fuel/boost map. I had my AFM fall off and it put my car into limp mode.. When Holden reset it they reset my map. The tuner saved all my remap details and simply re loaded it.



Just considering options. My situation is Insurance won't let me alter engine (intercooler), but exhaust will be ok. I'll work it out... under 25 with a turbo is not easy. Just Cars will let me do anything, but with a $2000 excess:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: . Nah ah

Insurance would never know! What would be the advantage of upgrading your intercooler? The factory one works fine on my car. For that phat front mount look maybe :p

Has anyone actually chipped/tuned their AH yet? I have had mine done for yonks and it goes great, as said before it’s the best mod you can do!

I wouldn’t worry too much about the Sport mode twin map thing, the extra power is handy I normal mode, I can overtake cars with ease in sixth gear because the max boost kicks in nice and low! Driving everywhere with sport mode on would be annoying.. Hard ride, touchy steering and throttle.

Oh and we are getting the same if not better economy as before the map was uploaded.

I'll be stupid and try and answer by saying a rich air:fuel mixture... as in pumping in too much fuel for correct combustion (i'll delete this post if i'm wrong), the flash should make it better as they will tune it correctly :)

they reduce how rich the mixtures are, yet still run sligtly rich as a lean out is very dangerous for the engine.

Just curious about H petrol turbo tuning...
What's the 0-100 km/h for a remapped H Sri Turbo @170 kW?
How much faster can a VXR get with a remap?

i have seen about 1/2 sec off the 1/4 on a g turbo.
but it really depends on the car and driver.

A reflash can knock 1/2 a second off 0-100kmh.

The Tune I am in the process of developing for the CX7 saw 0-100kmh drop from 8.58 seconds to 7.82 seconds.

Mizled, I seriously look forward to the results.

Fuel economy is oftem better, but of course that depends on what sort of driver you are.

The VXR & AH tune retails from me at $900. I will do group tunes at a discount. That price will be $800. Minimum is 5 cars. AH, VXR don't care what. I will travel interstate for that group.

Dave (Wayne FYI) - i'll do it when we get 5 people in Adelaide to jump on board!! At the moment, it looks like we've got me and in due course you?

I've had no modifications as yet - but I'd be happy with just re-mapping my ECU and leave it at that...

However, does anyone believe that it will stress the engine too much if i only do a re-map and not all the other basics i.e. cold air, exhaust, intercooler etc?

i got the cash now probably by the time we find another 3 people if we do i guess it will be fine so count me in... unless we send our ecu's down or were you thinking of driving if we cant round up the other 3 we need???

VXR with Milltek and Stage 3 and Intercooler will pull about 225kw@ the flywheel.

Not sure 0-100 but mine runs high 14’s consistently with a one off best of 14.7.. so about the same as a stock VXR..tune the VXR though

Good shit! You defiantly have to pay a bit more attention when keeping in a straight line after the remap don’t ya! Is it backfiring a lot more than before?

I wouldn't say a lot more. It definately does pop on the overrun, but it did that before. The turbo spooling up is more noticeable now

28th April 2008, 08:57 AM
mmm gotta love the sound of the overrun back fire its awesome the SSS has been doing it of late and sounds sweet.....

If the flash can get the SRiT to run like a stock VXR then that is a great deal and awesome effort especially for the price that is for sure, and the fuel econ should get a bit better on normal everyday driving too yeah?

I'll let you know. Since i bought the car i have left one of the trip computers, to see my average since new. At around 13,000kms now i've averaged 10.8L. Im going to leave the second trip computer now and see how i go. So far this tank (after the flash), it's at 10.5L

For those of you in Sydney....

I will be up there between June 1st - 5th. I am more than likely staying in Coogee. If you are interested in meeting me for a tune, please contact me. Remember, that it is a read one day, flash the next. Sorry, but that is the process. So, you need to see me BEFORE the 5th.

Evenings only.
