tuning ?

[turbonola]

what gear do you tune in for lo/thr with an SAFC. I know that you tune hi/thr in forth but what about lo/thr?

anyone? I have an enthalpy tuned ecu and I had it dyno'd tune. then my w/g fail and cause me to over boost and I blew my motor, so i put another used motor in my car while i rebuild my other motor and the old settings in the SAFC are not working for the new motor. I want to go out today and clean up my lo/thr so it would be a little more drivable. So does anyone know what gear to tune lo/thr in?

Do normal driving 2nd - 4th. You shouldnt need much of a retune if all you did was change your motor. Id make sure everything else is ok. Save your SAFC settings you have now, write them down.

Its running leaner with the new "used" motor then with the old one. I don't want to dyno tune it again because as soon I finish with my forged build, i'm putting it in and getting it dyno'd tune, again (don't want to double pay). I think I'm going to go with nistune, the hell with this mail order ecu/safc crap.

The way to go is to first connect your nistune data cable. Pull the maps off of your ROM tune and then put the rom tune data into your Nistune board. Then fine tune from there. It eliminates the need to mess with your timing maps, for now. If your messing with timing you really need to be on a dyno. In addition, it eliminates the need to do anything really because your rom tune --> to nistune is the same as your rom tune was to begin with. It gives your tuner a good base map to work with, and allows you to drive your car before you get it tuned.

Wow. I wasn't sure if i could use my old tune and just fine tune it like that. thanks for the info, that really helps out and saves me some dollars on tune time. I'm still learning as much as I can about rom tuning just to know even though its going to be dyno'd by a tuner, corr performance to be exact.
