RipNGrip Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 should i retune my ecu after inserting a new gcg highflow after blowing my sliding performance highg flow? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/222545-re-tune/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale FZ1 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Have you altered the boost level? Given they are likely much the same overall in terms of mass airflow capability, unless you've fundamentally changed something (ie the mass-flow), then the ECU mapping should cope easily with a change from high flow to high flow. That is running on the assumption your existing tune is not overly lean or aggressive on the ignition. That said, half an hour of dyno time is a cheap way of optimising for the slight spec change. Might also show you where relative strengths of one setup vs the other is.

abu Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I think because its a completely different turbo, flows different also, probably best to get it retuned for best results or at least put on a dyno and have it checked over to make sure the tune is still safe and its not leaning out/running to rich etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/222545-re-tune/#findComment-3922465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiksta Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 geez another one. It seems theres a slide highflow popping on a weekly basis. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/222545-re-tune/#findComment-3924725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to work, ring up from work, book car in. Drop car off one morning before work, pick car up that afternoon after work. Where was time off?

Beer Baron Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I say put it on the dyno and see how it's running. it may or may not need a re-tune. but a quick dyno check will tell you for sure.
