ECU Tune for SVX


95svx

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if there is any benefit for getting an ECU tune done for an SVX? Can a retune get additional performance out of a non-turbo charged engine? I come across a few threads on this on other sites but no has actually said what, if any, advantage it would be. Any thoughts/comments :-)

First of all, you need a tunable ecu.

 

So, shell out about 2.5k for a wire in link. 

Add install, maybe another $500 as there are no plug and play options to my knowledge. 

 

Then between 1k-$1500 to tune it.

 And for a total of between 3-4 grand you might get 20 or 30hp. 

 

The problem with tuning n/a's is return on investment. You have to put in a LOT of money to get anything back. 

 

In saying that

 

An eg33 svx with itb's, a good set of headers, agressive cams and increased compression would sound really freakin cool

Thanks for the feedback! Probably everyone else came to the same conclusion; it's the same with after market modifications... there aren't any! I think most SVX owners would say they a fabricators car rather than a modifiers car.

Yep, that was me in Featherston :-) Was heading out to Gladstone Inn for lunch and we called in for a little shopping.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
