2012 VE SV6 LFX supercharger

[SV6 325]

Have just installed an IPF supercharger kit on my SV6. Kit is made for the Camaro but fitted in nicely with some minor mods. The kit came complete including a tune. End result is a daily driver with awesome KW's.

Nice to finally see a supercharged late model V6 commy here. How much power is it putting down?

No dyno yet but should be 300+KW going by Camaros

Generic tune on a boosted setup.......................................................lawl

Have to agree with above. If there's any way you can get a custom tune for YOUR setup do it.
Mail order tunes aer a bit of a risk at the best of times IMHO. Maybe OK for exhaust & CAI packages, etc but not much more.
Not to mention it sounds like this tune is from the US so based on their fuels & whatnot...

Are the specs from the Camaro engine identical to your engine?

LFX engine is the same as Camaro , as is the chassis. I think the ECU was the same but the US tune would not load into my ECU. For the tune had to do a SPS replace and reprogram procedure to get the tuning files which went to Germany to do my tune. I have to run 91 octane as a minimum.

Can do a custom tune with HP tuners, but by all accounts the IPF tune is tried and tested.

There isn't lower than 91 octane unleaded in Australia, I think your confusing the US system with ours. No way I would run 91 on a charged setup.
Why would you stuff around sending files to Germany rather than just getting it tuned?

 

[bretto86]

Think you might find that is 91MON (US rate petrol grades differently) which is equivalent to 98RON, being BP ultimate, etc..

 

[SV6 325]

I'm running 98. Tune was part of the deal, didn't see the need for fork out +$1000 straight up

Have you at least had it on a dyno to check AFR's?
