Any tricks on holding the strap wrench to tighten the crank pulley?Been battling this for like 2 hours but the pulley still moves. It’s utterly frustrating.

 

What kind of strap wrench material do you have? It it's a nylon strap like mine I took a thick piece of rubber wrapped around the pulley then the strap wrench around that. Mine didn't slip at all after that.

Also when removing the pulley bolt, I used a ratchet strap to hold the strap wrench tight to the frame while I broke the torque of the stock bolt.

 

what kind of piece of rubber? I have an extra pulley belt. Would thst work?

 

A pulley belt is actually perfect. I just had some 1\4" rubber mat laying around that I cut a strip out of.

 

For those with a catch can, line goes from PCV to can, can to SC inlet, correct?

 

Yes

 

Roger!

 

I've been away for a bit. Looks like Yotawerx SC tune is finally out. But holy smokes did i see that right? $1000? I saw he had a release sale for $500 and i missed it of course.

 

$1000 if you are having it flashed for you by someone in the yotawerx network (flash services)
flash yourself is $700 (remote sales)

Let's put it this way. Maggy teased us for almost 4yrs with the hardware. They were actually at a dead stop without the tune. vF made that possible. The tune, as silly as it sounds, is a bigger piece of the pie than the excellent hardware.

YotaWerx gives you choices that you don't have from Magnuson. Those choices cost money.

As had been posted, the work that went into it by @mZiggy and the folks testing was unreal. I saw most of it. They found and overcame issues that were crazy and not publicized. Folks were working hard and the Stryker tune is the result.


I know that you have already paid for a tune with the kit, but possibly the best way to think about it is that folks buying vF Tune for just personal use are in the $800 region on the N/A side.

 

$700 is more like it. Still pricey, but what isn’t now in days.

 

I just finished the install and flashed with the YW tune.

Started the car and was shaking a bunch for a few minutes, then stopped shaking for a minutenor so and started shaking again.

Is that normal? Anyone had similar issues?

 

Did you do the Learn Value Resets? If not, it might be the tune trying to adapt to all the changes with old, stored data.

If you did do the Resets, let it idle, then take it for a gentle drive. It should smoot out after some normal driving.

 

Mine didn't do that at all. I'd do what @tonered suggests with clearing the learned values, but also make sure all connections both electrical and vacuum are good and tight.

Has it thrown a CEL?

 

what do you mean by ‘Learn Value Resets’?

i just loaded the YW calibration file. Then Reset Ecm, then Clear TCU.

 

Probably should clear all them before adding in yotawerx calibration

 

I don’t think it has thrown any CEL’s. But not entirely sure what this is.

 

This is my first time messing with the ECu at all so don’t have ton of experience. If there’s anyone with experience on flasing ECu’s and would like to give me a call, send me a dm and I would provide my number. I tried contacting mZyggy from YW but he’s sick.

 

Those were it.

It should get real smooth after a very short time driving it.

 

I also have the check engine and Tarcoff lights on. Any thoughts?
