You know im in. Still checking for that rom?

[Silvertune]

Man I just sent Will home with his 74 swapped Cody tuned 04 GT. He's one happy camper to say the least. The ROM didn't know at all. Thanks so much for the work Cody, writing the definition file and everything!

Be sure to get me some datalogs so we can get things buckled up for him.

[Silvertune]

Already emailed them to you. Some cruising, some WOT, combos and gradations of both.

I love seeing this. I swapped a 75 intake mani and wai.. Is this with a tune or with out a tune?

That dyno sheet is with the 3.5L upper intake mani, tuned. I'd be interested in working with a 3.0 / 3.8uim. You can certainly see some gains, coming from the GT uim. Get in touch with me if interested in getting full potential out of your mods.

[iMonster]

I would if you lived in the midwest, i would be all over that, so would White Knight. i'm going to the track on friday to see what all i can do. test out different intakes and all that jazz. I haven't checked if my ECU is tune able yet. thanks for posting the link up to the how to, i forgot to book mark it when i came across it last time.

[GTSman1982]

I can vouch for the tune it works for gts models.

Quick question. Is evoscan the only good data logging program? i'm using Scan tech 0.77 right now with a 10$ ebay cable, and it's not really performing the way i want it, although it works, it's just abnormally slow.

Evoscan is the only program I deal with. Obd2 Scantech is, less say less advanced and offers less options. Try minimizing your selected recorded values. When I datalog, I limit what's recorded. Timing advance, afr map, wideband, knock sum, rpm, and ecuload. The more you log, the larger the file and less detailed it will become.

[bastard]

Barring nitrous this is the best bang for your buck on the market right now. Not only does it add power but at lower rpms below 3k it increases gas mileage by getting rid of the overly rich stock afr. Definatly worth way more than what this hairy little man is asking.

[SpeedDemon350]

For those of you who are debating whether or not to get a tune, do it. If you have done any modifications (intake, exhaust, etc.) The tune he gives will eliminate all the overly rich AFR in the upper rpms area, and will give you a nice clean and strong pull up to redline.

I first started out with a factory tuned 3.0L, which was sluggish and didn't really give me the torque I wanted. When doing WOT pulls, the AFR would be far to rich in the upper rpm area and would feel like the engine isn't making power anymore. With a few internal engine issues, I had to replace the motor, so I opted for the 6g74 swap (for the lower cost and ease of install). I didn't really notice too much of a difference in power after the swap, though I did notice an increase in low end torque. On WOT pulls, I still noticed that power seemed to decrease significantly as the rpms went anywhere higher than 4,000. Now that I had the motor in, I contacted Tx4Codeman for a tune. In the end, the tune uses the motor to its fullest potential and provides a clean pull with a much better distribution of power across the rpm range. On the highway, I notice significantly better torque than I did before the tune. When I cruise, I feel like I no longer need to down shift to get adequate power. Remarkably, I also still get the same gas mileage (maybe a tad less) as I did on the 3.0L factory tuned engine.

All in all, this tune is worth it, and definitely a necessity if you plan on swapping to a 3.5L or 3.8L. There is a noticeable increase in power while running minimal to no knock. It also feels good knowing that my 6g74 is running on a tune meant for the 6g74, and the not the factory 6g72. The only thing negative I can think of is communication was a little slow at times, but definitely worth any wait. In the end, I am very satisfied with his tune, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy and safe way to gain a few extra ponies.

[Pace187]

Codeman doesnt fuck around, he knows his shit. After my swap i was honestly heavily disappointed in the gains, i finally got around to getting ahold of him and after a night of datalogging and talking back and forth it was a clear cut night and day difference.
Its running safe for daily street driving, yet has the get up and go to plant your ass in the seat.

I would recomend the 3.0 cam to anyone doing any kind of tune work because my top end lacks heavily, but codeman helped that out greatly from what it was.

I still need to get around to doing some fine tuning i just never got a usb for the wideband, il get around to it

[04MOJOGT]

I cant wait to get this done. Hopefully this weekend/mid Week.

[bastard]

You comin down here for it?

[ICEMAN99TURBO]

Thanks for the PMs man, you got me on board..


Goodbye SAFC2.

[db00eclipse]

Sounds awesome. I have a 74 UIM i'm installing soon so this tune would help me get the most of the CAI and exhaust mods that I have already done.

Waiting on that Ecu to come in and we will get you taken care of.

Any increased airflow mods will certainly be a great candidate for EcuFlash tuning. You are correct about this making the most out of your modifications. Let me know when you are ready.

To everyone else and their comments of my work, Thanks!

[ICEMAN99TURBO]

Cody, are you going to need a list of mods that are done to the car to help you with the tune? I also have the 60 mm UIM with the 60mm TB, along with CAI, headers, and Catback.

[Silvertune]

10$ says once you get the tune you'll want more.

[02gt]

Once again, tx4codeman worked his magic. I went to him today to have my 3.5l fine tuned and I am very happy with the results.

[mike4328]

tx codeman tuned my 03 gts big difference he is the right man for the job us nyc 3g can vouch for that

Mailing out your ECU in the morning. Let me know when you get things and how the car feels.



For those who are in search of a base rom who do not want to spend $200+ on the Tactrix cable and EvoScan program, contact me about mailing me your Ecu.

edit: 3.5L datalog, untuned, POSTED IN OP.

Made up stat... but probably 80-90% of the people who will want to tune but don't have the money for the cables and the program use their car as their Daily Driver, like me so that might not work as well as you'd think,

We need to get one guy in each major city (like KC, STL, Chicago, Miami, blah blah blah) with the cable and the programs and able to flash ecu's for us. lol

[StreetLegal]

Out of curiosity, when you say for the 3.0 3.5 and 3.8 are you saying that off of the base motor? I've been talking with another member and we both might be doing the 4.0L stroker swap from Tearstone's thread and I was just curious if I would be able to talk to you about a tune.

I have ready to go Base maps for those three engines that are stock to lightly modded. For anything beyond that, I can tune it for you as well. Datalogging on your end will be required to fab you up custom tables.

[CordiaDOHC]

Huge thanks. This makes swapping to the 3.8 much more attractive (im a 00). So hopefully I have the right processor or can track down the right one.

Add that to the massive list for this car. Wish there was a place to get rpw headers and cams stateside now lol

[Dustin]

Cody, appreciate the work you did on my GS. I can feel the difference and def am a fan of better gas mileage.

[thahnic1080]

I'll be coming back for a fine tune code

[Lethal1ty17]

I would love a tune but I don't have another ECU to use in place if I remove mine.

Edit: it's immobilized without the same ECU. Damnit.

[bgdakid]

Not like I need to say anything since Cody's work speaks for itself, but I told all you local guys this already. They never listen. Cody's tunes are the truth. Wait till you guys get a load of what we have in the works. You'll shit bricks when you see it. (God I love those posters)

Tx4CodeMan is the CHAMP

[Tx4Codeman]

Numbers based off of Pace's 3.5L datalogs. This goes to show why the 3.5 cams are frowned upon and keeping the 3.0's will be beneficial to those interested in the swap.

[Bred7]

Sounds great I have 01 GT and plan on doing the Diamante Mani swap and will def. want it tuned once I do.

[ICEMAN99TURBO]

Cody.... Not sure if they was asked before or not, but is it worth buying the cable to use once, or would it be worth just renting it and just buying the programs??? Will it be needed after the initial reflash?

[Tx4Codeman]

If you could rent the cable for under 40 dollars it would be worth doing, if you have no plan to change the car significantly in the near future to the point that it would need retuning.

[Life]

Don't suppose you have a 3.8L non-mivec tune available? Would be really helpful for Magna conversions Unfortunantly we have very limited options when it comes to tuning with only 3 workshops in the country doing it. RPW in Perth, SKR in Adelaide, and HITMAN Injection Tuning in Sydney. All of which will charge upwards of $350 for a base 3.8 tune.

[Tx4Codeman]

Of course I do. I'm running a 3.8 nonmivec myself. PM me.

[Tx4Codeman]

Mojo made a trip from North Carolina today to get his 3.5L tuned. This is a 3.5 with only an intake.

Recommended mods for better gains would be a 3.5 throttle body, 3.0 cams, headers, and a wideband for fine tuning the AFR's.

Before run was a factory 3.5L rom. Numbers are VERY accurate as a factory 3.5L puts down apx 168/189 to the ground with 18% loss mounted to a manual trans [205/231@Crank].

Mojo achieved +16WHP / +12TQ without a wideband on a practically stock 3.5L.

Really? Back in Sep. 2009, my 3.5L, untuned, with 6G72 injectors, and all 3 cats, put down 169/183 with the automatic transmission



EDIT: maybe because it is on a Dynapack? I don't know if it would be that far off though.

[Silvertune]

Mojo's first run was on the 3.5L factory ROM which is a good bit more conservative then the 3.0L factory ROM. Even though you weren't tuned I'd bet you were running leaner with better timing, hence the same power. Plus, you're right, the dynopack is probably off a little bit.

Thanks again for everything. The car ran perfect on the trip back. No issues at all and the Mpgs did get better. However the Atlanta traffic totally screwed that up. All in all im pleased and the trip was well worth it.

Just to elaborate exactly on whats on my car for those who are wondering its a

03 3.5 88K
CAI
Stock exhaust
3.5 MAF
Walbro 255
and nothing else.

[labra]

hey man. i have a 2002 eclipse gt with headers. is it posible to tune it to get better MPG and more HP. and not show any codes. i resently rebuit the engine and wouldnt want to damage it. and what are your prices. email me labra_1990@live.com

[holdar]

Cody’s in the process of tuning my ’05 GTS Spyder and last night I get a text:

Tx4Codeman:
   Sent a small change your way…
Tx4Codeman:
   R u datalogging it tonight?
Me:
   If you want. Same setup and pulls?
Tx4Codeman:
   Ya 2-6k rpm. Go ahead. Drive safe. I'll be up a little while longer.
Me:
   Ok, I'll be back to you within 20-25 min.
…
Me:
   All I can say is, OH MY GOD!
Tx4Codeman:
   O.O
Me:
   I can't stop laughing. It's a completly diff car
Me:
   Its Awesome!
Me:
   I was so excited, I accidentally did my first pull in first
Me:
   Why didn't I do this 5 years ago?

Thanks for that “small” change.

Please do tell.

With all the "little" changes made to my ride as of late, I'd like to know if this is a route I should follow as well. I just can't seem to bend my mind around this tuning stuff myself (too much rattling around in there already).

Power! That's the most immediate difference.
At 4k RPM, when my 6G72 A/T begins to gain strength, it now pulls hard; Much harder than before.

In second gear, the engine would choke until it got to higher RPMs. Now, although there is still some hesitation, I no longer have to beg the car to move.

Throttle response at low end has improved and the car feels (for want of a better term) nibble and quick.

I’m running Ripp headers with a 3” hi-flow cat that necks down to a 2.5” in/out round muffler and then to an oval at the bumper. I used to tiptoe out of the neighborhood ‘cause rumble would reverberate off the houses. I never expected that to change with the tune, but it has. With each update he sends, the car runs quieter and smoother. (I didn’t tiptoe this morning. LOL!)

I’m getting better gas mileage too. How much better, I haven’t checked.

I am more than pleased with what Cody’s done so far. Heck, his one “small change” did more for my car than all the time and money I’ve put into it over the past 6 years!

[WolfRyder]

Glad to see you're offering some good tuning options to the 3G community, keep up the good work

[Yamikai04]

is there an evoscan software for mac or is it just pc based

That sounds fantastic. once I get my ride back together again I think I'll get a base run on a dyno for giggles, then hit Cody up for a tune as well. With a dual exhaust, headers, intake, upper manifold etc. I SURE that I'll be in bad need of some adjustments. thanks for the additional info. e-rep 4U.

[Daboss254]

Damn I've gone awhile! So are fed spec 00' Ecu's tunable now or something? Sorry, I'm just going off what i see in the first post, and from my understanding, if you have an 00' ECu that says " MH7202F" on the processor then its good.


I definitely need to get in contact with you tx4codeman.

[Daboss254]

Alright, so I pulled my 00' ECU out and it says : (MH7203FA) Is it safe to say that this one is not good?


Also, I have a 02' ECU, but I couldn't really read the series of numbers and letters indicated.. but I think it says, (MH8206F). I know I read somewhere a couple years back that someone was having trouble tuning their 02' ecu, but possibly that has been fixed now? Is the 02' ECU I have good to go as far as being tuned, if my 00' isn't?

[Tx4Codeman]

No restrictions to date as long as the tuner has the proper definition files. If you want more tables, go with the 02, since most 00-01 def files are not completely defined. If you don't have a tactrix cable you can mail me both ecus to get the work done. Pm me with questions.

[Pace187]

i did finally dyno my car with codemans tune, i made 184whp/206wtq on a 3.5L GT

[Tx4Codeman]

Pretty accurate with the Advanced ROM. Would have liked to get dyno time but distance could be a problem. Did you get a dyno sheet?

[Pace187]

il try and contact the guys that did it, its saved on their computer but il try and get a copy of it

[Ixionic]

Hi Cody,

I am also interested in this ECU Tune.

Do we have to mail you our stock ECU by mail to your address and then you mail it back? It would suck if it gets lost in the mail.

Or is there someway for you to just send us a file for our cars and we use that file to flash our ECU?

Actually before I ask both of those questions... This thread is old, but I want to know if you are still offering this ECU tuning service.

How much power can I expect from a Spyder GTS with Injen CAI, Greddy Full Catback Exhaust, Ralco RZ Aluminum Crank Pulley and Royal Purple Oil and High Flow Cat?

Headers are stock due to California C.A.R.B. smog laws.

+10 WHP?

Engine is a 6G72.

Do you accept Paypal? How much do you charge?

[Tx4Codeman]

It's all covered in this thread. You can either purchase the products listed in the original post or mail me the ECU. I'm still offering this service. Gains range vehicle to vehicle based on modifications and engine health, but generally we are seeing gains over 15whp.
