$300 for a VY V6 flash tune. just got mine back today. Awesome work, car accelerates so much harder now!

get a dyno run mate...
extra gear box psi can make the car feel faster when it hasn't got power, not for a second discrediting the tune just get a b4 and after and post it up for all us after a good tune.
be interesting to see the difference.

I'm keen to get it on a dyno, not for a tune just to see what the mace upgrades and the computer combined give.

Anyone know of any dyno's in the North brisbane area that will just put your car on there in shootout mode without trying to sell you a tune?

 

[ajvx01]

pretty much all dyno's will do a 50 buck shoot out for you. Do you still have your old ecu?

Can flash a new tune into VX and VY PCMs for free .. delcohacking.net • View topic - The FlashTool V1.31

Can also read any tune thats been done, if its locked that tool can also unlock the PCM for you :boxing:

Thats pretty cool.

So when it says you remove the memcal and install an NVRAM, any idea where to get one?

My VX has a Chiptorque chip in it that allegedly give them tunability. Chance that this is a chip that will work with the program?

Check a few lines below that bit and it has a link to a post about setting it up for flash based VX, VU and VY vehicles. Dont need any chips or mods done to the PCM to be able to adjust the tune.

If your VX is a S/C V6 then I am not sure what chiptorque add, the standard memcal can be reprogrammed (using a UV eraser and EPROM programmer), have seen some companies use a small board in place of the EPROM or memcal to stop people from reading the binary. Its very very unlikely that its going to be an NVRAM and be compatible with the flashtool.

Nah standard V6 with the flash module.

Might it be in my best interests to get another VX standard chip, slam it in and dick around so that I can always reinsert the Chiptorque chip later?

 

[VL400]

So they desolder the original flash chip and add another? There is no removable memcal/chip in the VX,VU or VY V6 PCMs.

You would possibly need an entire PCM if they have done mods to yours. Can always just try and see if you can read the binary out first.
