Never left it, been lurking

It’s probably a pretty fast spool if this 2.5l is making it scream at idle.

 

Start with 5 or 10psi?

 

Sounds so cool!

 

5! Get the tune right. Plenty of room for error at 5. Then interpolate up from there.

 

5psi. Get a clean tune going first. Easier to get up to the fun stuff when you start low

 

Didn’t even see your post,lol

 

Great minds

 

Ok good, is what I was thinking.
Waiting on bov now, then .... idk I might actually have to install it, can’t think of anything else
I’ll need to take it somewhere to have knock frequency dialed in

 

It has a knock threshold test. Run it. If not still happy, then you can go further.

 

I thought you had to run that until knock and then identify it? I don't even know what knock sounds like

 

@RedLantern
Any suggestions for local spots to take this for tune? Any places to avoid?

 

Lately it’s been hard for street tune, Lots of complaints/road closures and construction. Could try h3, h2 millilani area, but best to have a scout. I did my logging in salt lake blvd but gotta watch out there too Cause the sounds echo in the condos near by. I just didn’t log in the same place, always moved around. Gotta be creative.

If dyno tune there’s a few options. HPT where my brother got his truck tuned, heard rad motor sports does tuning but the guy they use(Seth) isn’t always on island. Sean at munkey Wurks but he takes foreverrrrrr. Takes his sweet time, and gives this “I’m superior” vibe. Not talking crap but that’s the vibe he gave off. Apparently he and Seth were rivals, always talked crap about each other and I didn’t dig it.

I’d proabbly go HPT jus cause my brother had good success tuning with them. If you want power check, exhaust work, rad is a good place to go.

Sean..ehh last resort for me. I hear good stuff but felt he took way to long. I know I’m not alone feeling this way about him, Plus a friend of mine also didn’t care for his work/tuning sessions.

 

Ok, thanks. I imagine they get paid by the hour? visit? or job?
What exactly is long time? Hours? Weekend? I know nothing haha

 

You run the test while the engine is idling. It is very easy.

 

Usually if it’s 3rd party tuner like Seth, by the hour for both tuner and dyno rental.

If the shop has their own tuner then most likely a little cheaper.

 

I can’t find good clear instructions on YouTube for doing this on the Haltech.

 

It's easier to just look in the Haltech. Lol. Go to the function for knock control. You'll see it in there.

 

I've seen it but no instructions on how to move forward.

 

For example, how to induce the knock so it can be detected
