Re: Just ordered my HPtuners

Ya. Ordered a 97 PCM also. But I am trying to find out if I am going to be able to just plug this up to the car and start tuning. Ive ran 97 pcm with no problems in the past. Its a 95 and im swaping in the 97 pcm.

Make sure the 97 PCM is the correct M5 or A4 you have now or else you'll have to download a bin from Hptuners and flash the 97 PCM, before you start tunning you need a wideband or you risk blowing up something. Also don't install the 36LB injectors I'm sending you unless you have a wideband. Better to be safe than sorry that your engine is gone, or blown something up.

Re: Just ordered my HPtuners

yea no doubt. The guy im getting it from on fullthrottle v6 said it was from an automatic 3.8 97. With the 4l60E.

Re: Just ordered my HPtuners

I gave the guy my VIN and Hptuners wount let him change it. Says "Invalid VIN". Maybe because he has the serial version for a 97? He says it should still work in my car. Any ideas?

Re: Just ordered my HPtuners

Just got the sofware installed and took the car out. Needless to say injector cycle was at 120%, and KR was 5 at 5160 RPMs. Guess i need to get those injectors and WB in and get the hang of this tuning.

Re: Just ordered my HPtuners

Whats your temp, where you live? I would say about 14-15 degrees timing at WOT would be alright , 120% your FMU hass maxed out your injectors which is to be expected, those 36LB injectors which are on their way you should be about 80% at WOT. I always noticed with my PD that it gave me falss KR since its bolted on the engine and has force pulling on it, thats when I desenitized my KR sensors since they are way too sensitve from the factory. The 05' Buick 3.8's like my Dads, they have the KR sensors turned down and timing raised from the factory so I guess GM learned about their false KR problems, they run about 28 degrees timing from the factory, this is a 05' Buick lasabre 3.8. For a 3800LB+ car with air leveling in the rear it def. gets up and goes and rides so smooth, if I could find a lower priced one I would buy one.

Re: Just ordered my HPtuners

current temp is 80-95 *F. So far ive just disabled torque management, speed limiter, and messed with the trans. Ill wait until those injectors come in and i get that WB installedto start with the fuel and timing.
