Memcal socket install

[greenfoam]

Hi,

Here's the best I can do for a VN series one with a good exhaust
Alot of things have changed since I started this, had some cars on the dyno, got smarter etc etc. This is a pretty good tune, I doubt it can be improved much at all for such a car

It's 256k binary based on the VR with lean cruise and all that stuff and makes more power than powerchip gold, everywhere. But the V6 is a funny engine and it's very hard to make more power with a tune, I do not beleive for the half a handfull of kw you can gain on a stockish engine that it's worth buying one for the VN V6 (V8 then yes definitely get one), but this ones for free, just don't try and scam me and other people by selling it. Consider this the final tune for the V6

Thanks Greeny:thumbsup: Will give this a go. If you sell a programmed chip and ZIF socket ready for install, I'd be happy to buy these off you for a small sum, so that you actually get something for all the work you've done... If not, I can source and burn via friends... Thanks again

Ok, have finally burnt my first chip and it reads back ok, so will test it tomorrow going to work but am taking my old one and a screwdriver with me just in case.

I'm just getting into doing all the reading on how to make my own memcals and in the files that I'm working with from the 1227808 I've found an entire section full of shift-light parameters.

Anyone had any luck getting a shift light to work using these?

 

[hakhawk]

was having a chat to vl400 about the shift light thing, it wil only work on a manual, as its on the same circuit as the toque convrertor switch or something in a auto.

by the sounds of it, from what i can remember, its more to do with fuel economy or something.

maybe doc bob or vl400 can explain a bit better.

Lucky I drive a manual then I've seen it in there, and it looks like each gear can have it's own shift points (up and down) specified.

I don't really need a shift light (does any street car need one?), but if the ecu can handle it, it might just be a bit of fun. Especially to be able to turn around and say that it's a 'factory' shift-light.

Just gotta find which pin(s) of the ECM it comes out of.

yeah i was looking into that as well.

think it was A7 from what i was looking into, but i couldn't figure out if it was a negative or positive trigger....

so i tried both
but with no luck!

if anyone has been playing with this let me know!
