EOI: Auz to hit Vic for tunes

[AH Sri Turb04]

Hey ausvectra, I have a couple of questions for you:

1. are you able to flash the 2.0 AH sri-t?? (I know wayne can, but I do not know whether you work as in a joint venture, or are the same entity - excuse me for my ignorance);
2. it appears there are a few in SA that are willing to get flash tunes done, have you/wayne considered coming down; and
3. hopefully you can pass on some experience on whether its best to get modifications (i.e. exhaust, intake, piping) before getting the flash, or can the chip get flashed and then have the bolt-ons added after? What are the affects?

Thanks for your help - I am really interested, but I'd like to get a grasp of order of modification...light modification would be best while getting bang-for-buck from the flash tune

hi AH Sri Turb04, i can really only answer the 3rd question as i asked auz the question myself before he done my tune.
it doesnt matter which you do first,
if you were to get the tune first, then intake exhaust and piping it would be the same as doing intake first then exhaust and piping then tune.
you will get the same results no matter which order you do it in.
its best to seize the opportunity for the tune when auz comes down.
otherwise you could be paying 1000+ elsewhere (from what ive read in other topics)

I believe only waynes tuning tools can do the AH as its got can-bus, pretty sure matts tuning tools doesnt have that in it unfortunately

Could you please explain what can-bus is?? Is it unique to an AH or do other cars have this?

[vectraguy01]

basically a different software program for the ECU, u need a certain module to allow access to update the software and diagnose.

[auzvectra]

jason and chris are both correct.
order is irrelevant, the AH Astra, and the Veccy C have canbus, this is basically a different language to talk to the ecu, the modules i have dont do this unfortunately.

wayne can do the AH Astra turbo, and VXR, but you will need a few people willing to pay a deposit up front to get him down there.
for the other models i can flash, i have been considering a trip down that way, depending on how the vic run goes, if it all works out well, i will do a run to a few major cities if the interest is there for it.
