Ecotec V6 Tuning: Basic Introduction to Flash Tuning N/A VU-VY V6 Commodore ECU's 

Cheers!

Haha wouldn't consider myself a tuner, but that's what this series is about is sharing some of the knowledge I've learned in my years playing with these ECUs.

@@CHR0M3x how do you raise the limter ?

@@Baggedvy Change the fuel cut rpm high and low, keep in mind these ECUs are only capable of having a limiter up to 6350 any higher it will remove the limiter all together.

Sorry I missed this comment, what are you after? pcmhacking.net is a brilliant resource has a lot of info.

Different method, watch my memcal video for that one.

I'll make one I think, it's the kind of thing I can do any day as doesn't require the car etc haha, I may even go over NVRAM setup at some point but I'd need to find a VS/VT or l67 to play with for that video.

@@CHR0M3x make a series & do both my friend, I’ll happily tune in 👌🏽👌🏽

@@CHR0M3x Please yes yes yes yes yes yes love to see this

From my experience and I've done this a bit, the cheaper ones wear out quickly and don't work anywhere near as well, this $50 cable is a mid range, the high end are 150+, I have a lot of people messaging me having issues and a lot of the times it's cheap cables.

You're better off sticking with the VT ecu and running an NVRAM, real time tuning then.

@@CHR0M3x thx u. I don't know wot nvram is. But try googling it thx

Will touch on that among other things in a future video!

Mint bro! Will you be doing a video in the future doing fuel mapping and transmission shift timing? Very keen to try this on the daily shitter

​​@@user-uk9rr8uw5o Yeah mate, probably be on a dyno for some of those..

The dents are part of the cars character 🤣

Yes but I've never played with it as it sounds horrible on Ecotec, it's just a fuel swing sounds nothing like cam in my opinion

This requires some explanation, yes you could edit your auto ecu but some of the stuff you'd need isn't defined, so you could set the getrag flag and VSS etc and the car will run and won't have an engine light etc but it will have rev hang, the way to get around this is to match the throttle follower tables to that of a manual (but this table isn't always defined).. So my suggestion would be to go on PCM hacking and grab a factory manual bin (they have a topic full of stock auto / manual bins for different models), grab the factory manual bin for your model, disable vats (or get it linked), and write the whole bin to your ecu (not just the calibration), that way you have a full factory manual OS and everything should be perfect. Take note and be careful because if you flash the wrong bin on or for some reason it fails you will be left with a bricked ecu! So I'd recommend getting a 2nd hand ecu to try this with (any out of an N/A VX / VY V6 will work).. With that being said any VX / VY N/A V6 bin can be flashed onto the flash ECUs (don't try flash memcal bins to flash ECUs, it will brick your ecu).

There is HPTuners and EFILive, might be some other stuff but nothing free that I know of unfortunately.

Nope airbags have nothing to do with the tune.

pull the srs fuse it stops the beeping and from my most recent accendent im pretty sure turns them off

To turn airbag off you need Tech2 scan tool.

@@SmokeHound69 thanks bro
