Hi,
Just had my 2009 VE Omega V6 tuned by Mace Engineering.
I would suggest this tune for anyone with an VE V6 looking for more Kw/Torque and better fuel consumption. I noticed the gains straight away a lot better throttle response and quicker acceleration!. After a hour or so of city driving i checked my fuel consumption and it was a lot better than i used to get. The tune was really easy to install took only a few minutes.
I would like to thank Steve from mace for the great customer service and the product was sent out promptly.
Cheers,
Ah excellent Andrew,
Glad to hear it’s all sorted and you’re happy with how she goes
It would be interesting to see what the economy gains are over time. The one thing that would put me off buying a VE is the throttle response when i try to give it a bit. If a mace tune can improve that its definitely something to think about
The later model the VE, the more that can do done with them, for arguments sake can get rid of the torque management off all together and fully control the 6 speed auto’s, depending on the application (bolt ons, cam boost). This should filter down to the 5 speeds and earlier VE and VZ’s over time.
(flamesuit on) lol i am way noob at cars.. i know little things but not much. but to start with what is a tune? how do you 'install it' and how much did it cost? i would love to have just a little better throttle response on my omega..
monkeys437 I'm getting a 1.5-2.5 per 100 better than before the tune. Which i'm very pleased about because in town my car used to use lots of fuel!.
pickle46, The tune is a file that you put onto your car(it adjust settings in the cars computer i think). You put it on using a laptop and a cable that connects to the car from the laptop and you use the software and the tune file from mace and put it on your car. As for the price call mace its cheaper than the other tunes i looked at. Throttle response is improved as well i could notice it right away. Hope this helps.
In regards to the tuning procedure, all people need to do is to give us a list of their current mods, desired outcomes (within reason), and VIN number. We send up the programmer/data logger (which requires a PC) with software and email out a base tune.
Once the base tune is flashed the runs are logged, which need to be emailed back to enable us to revise the tune to suit your car specifically. We then email up a revised tune (where needed) at no cost.
So it’s not just a basic generic tune that you end up with which, depending on the number of logs, can work out to be better then a dyno tune given the additional information under real world conditions
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Steve
