Mace VY V6 PCM Tune Review

[TANKA]

Hi Mace,
Can the EGR Valve on the ecotec be disabled in the tune.
I want to block it off as i am fitting a catch can to keep the plenum/TB clean and the EGR Valve is a contributor to the build up in there.
Thanks

Hey Tanka,

We can do this for you no problems

Please note though, it will have a slight influence on ignition timing and fueling. In practice is shouldn't be a problem if you're running anything higher then 95 octane fuel

If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask

Kindest Regards,
Steve

You guy's should totally send me a tune (for free) for the Cruze 1.4 that you developed. I'm in Cairns and i'd be happy for you to send people my way that can ride in mine and feel the difference before buying. A lot of the modified scene in the far north has died out due to less people wanting to buy unheard / unseen....and yes you can put a sticker on it

If we were developing the product then we could have worked something out along those lines. However the fact that the product is developed, there isn't any movement on the price sadly

Please note that the tune makes the Cruze a lot more of a fun car to drive, and is definitely one of the best value for money products that we have around. The only regret that you'd probably have with going with the Cruze tune is that you should have done the tune upgrade earlier

Just installed both intake spacers and PCM from mace (stock exhaust) . Amazing to drive... Gear changes are twice as fast (auto). No longer bogs down. shes a completely different car to drive. the shift from 1st to 2nd gear is unbelievable it just keeps pulling. Also when revved in neutral there is a little cackle from the exhaust. more prominent with a quick stab to 2700rpm like a very deep popping noise, not loud you can just hear it with the windows down.

In the engineer mode Fans turns on @ 95 degrees.

on stock tune is used 1.9 litres per hour (instant usage readout) @ idle. Its now down to 1.54 with the mace pcm.

Fuel economy has been much better since the install when driving normally.

The Throttle response is magical massive improvement.

On the stock tune @ full throttle it was using 37 litres per hour in first gear. Now when you plant it uses 60 litres per hour. It accelerates way quicker compared to the stock tune. I cant speak highly enough of it. I felt like I was dreaming after the first drive.

Would recommend to anyone with an Ecotec. Should of done this years ago.

I've just ordered one for my 03 VY Series 2 commy. I was excited about getting it but reading these posts make me twice as excited can't wait for it to arrive and be installed. Got parts that I can't bolt on til the tune is ready but soooooo can't wait for it to arrive. Would be probably writing how wonderful this part is when it's on the car so watch this space
