MANY EXTRA MODELS ARE NOW ABLE TO BE FLASH TUNED /EDITED INCLUDING THE AU FALCON RANGE AS WELL AS THE TRUCK RANGE OF VEHILCLES. SAME DEAL AS THE BA FALCON RANGE USING THE CAPPA FLASH TUNER(FORDEDIT BOX). REGARDS DAVID ROSCIO KPM MOTORSPORT

hi we are now coming into close to 10 months of ba tuning and results are getting better and more refined as time goes on.the fordedit (flashtune) program has evolved to a point now were resolution of tuning and amount of parameters able to be tuned can only increases long term durability of the vehicle because of refinement of tuning even though power output is increased beyond factory engineered levels. we have had very few problems at the 230 rwkw level and especially not durability problems.only problems early on and were minor niggles and have been sorted out. good tune able to be achieved on an auto xr6t with 8-10 psi boost levels and some cars less. our next stage is 260-280 rwkw were reliability comes in the form of safe fuelling control over valve bounce and inlet /exhaust flow.these figures can be achieved with out most of these upgrades but at risk. not recomended due to lean fuelling and excessive boost pressures needed to achieve these figures.from our experiance long term durability comes from properly upgrading to suit power levels.at thees levels also consider transmission problems and need for upgrading for durability. beyond these levels 300rwkw+ defininate removal of engine and transmisions for upgrades as well as extra intercooling ,fuelling and intake upgrades again to engineer according to power levels required. the bottom line short cuts can be taken in tuning and upgrades to achieve power levels but at the definate risk of long term durability. we have now tuned dozens of ba xr6t as well as v8's and durability is fanatastic as long as correct steps are taken on power increases. at the level you are looking at( suggest 230 rwkw ) a good custom tune with time spent on making it just right will give you what you are looking for. regards david roscio kpm motorsport

new edit upgrade program has been available now for a few weeks and after using it on a variety of cars (especially turbos) results are great. tuning is made to be more precise especially on the boost control,cam control and transmission shift/pressure side of tuning. I believe that existing owners with the edit have no need to retune on the new program if they are happy with there existing tunes.benifits would come only if you are looking for more precise control over boost and transmission shifts and pressures or are having some of the small issues problems eg. wg solenoid noise at ignition on. in saying this tuning is more precise with more control over many more areas than previous. where the edit was great before as the only tuning tool available it is even more precise now . if you are happy with edit original leave it, if you havent been edited or are looking for the extra control ,talk with us. kind regards david roscio kpm motorsport

hi falchoon as you probably are aware you need to have even testing to comment. the rwkw reading on one dyno may be vastly different to another.also comes into play the strap down , set up and actual dyno running of the car from operator to operator. there is no true correct way but what is important is the opertor is consistant in his testing methods. that way you can be sure that every time you bring your car back for retesting it is done consistant to previous times.apples for apples !! good idea to find somone/somewhre you can trust and stick with them. david

buying the edit box and loading the tune youself is a great start and the cheapast way of getting an edit. the down side is that with most turbos especially, 2 cars are never the same and the same tune can be miles apart for differant cars. what starts as the cheaper option can become more expensive in the long run in the way of fuel economy , reliability and general component longetivety. eg. incorrect fuelling can have great adverse effects on components such as cat convertors, pistons, spark plugs etc. incorrect boosting startegies adverse effects on just about every internal engine component incorrect timing maps adverse effects on all of the above. it takes a thoruogh understanding of the relationships and effects that any change made has on a vehicle and usaully is learnt over many years of proper training and just as importantly practical tuning. as with anything a good tradesman makes it seem easy and gives great results. buying the edit is a great start but wont give the long term result most a looking for. allow someone with years experiance to tune your car and give you the result you are after. regards david roscio kpm motorsport <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Would this explain why some tuners are getting up to 270rwkw with just a custom tuned edit whereas others such as yourself believe that 225 to 235rwkw is a safe and reliable tune before requiring bigger injectors? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Interesting question jordak - the same thing has been resident on my mind for a while, particularly since a local fellah now claims 273RWKW with Edit on standard injectors and safe AFRs....really?! How can this be, I'd welcome sensible responses to help explain this phenomenon. Dingah <{POST_SNAPBACK}> there is no correct afr that covers all vehicles and engines. the only correct afr is what that particular engine being tuned demands. our policy as a workshop is to tune to the afr that is best comprimise between power and safe exhaust temperatures for that particular engine.also in consideration is to what application that engine is being used for eg circuit,rally drag,street,dyno etc. our dd dyno reads 235 rwkw on an auto xr6t when we have afrs that are starting to raise exhaust temps.this is where we also see the injector duty cycle staring to run at maximum.(less longetivety to engine qand injectors). again these are our own experiances and what we feel comfortable tuning to. regards david roscio kpm motorsport

cool as to the exhaust each to there own!!! does bruce hang around your shop or is it another? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes he sure does we enjoy having him about the place good asset and great bloke

hi dyno wog we do have a dd dyno all results posted are in dd shootout modes a 2.5 inch exhaust into twin is our preferance regards david roscio

hi guys over the last 6 months we have edited and upgraded many falcon sixes, turbos; and v8 s. with also constant feedback and communication from the other top tuning workshops around australia , we have been very comfortable in our recommendations of what works and what doesnt. these figures given are taken on our dyno- dynamics dyno with every vehicle strapped down in the same manner and tyre pressures set to 50 psi. all figures are relavent to the shootout mode used for that particular vehicle. xr6 n/a : headers back exhaust system, free flowing filter and intake , custom edit 155- 162 rwkw. tuned with oct booster 2-3 kw extra. xr6t : stage 1, custom edit only 220-228 rwkw stage 2, upgraded injectors , upgraded valve springs , custom edit, 270-280 rwkw stage 3 , all of above plus, upgraded intercooler, high flow fuel pump, high lowing exhaust, extra intake, 280-330 rwkw. stage 4 , all of above, h beam rods, forged pistons, transmission/gbox. improved intake ducting and manifolding, oil pump upgrade. 330- 390 rwkw stage 5 all of above , resize injectors, resize turbo, oct booster, or race fuel 390- upwards rwkw. xr8 : headers back exhaust, custo edit 215-225 rwkw. oct.booster add 3-5 kw supercharged 6 pound and custom edit 310-330 rwkw fpv 290 : headers back exhaust, custom edit 250-260 rwkw oct bboster add 3-5 rwkw supercharged; havent done one yet note; large intakes and throttle body can add increases but only cost effective,upgrades listed. these uprades are not hard and fast rules but only the opinion and experiance of our own workshop , inteneded as a guide only. kind regards david roscio kpm motorsport

dyno graph xr6 n/a edit and exhaust regards david roscio

dyno graph xr6 n/a edit and exhaust regards david roscio

dyno sheet to follow to answer some queries on the xr6 n/a we have just finished our first custom edit. the car came in with an exhaust only and ran 134 rwkw. after several hours of editing we managed a repeatable and strong 160 rwkw. suprised us all. hope this is the same for all you guys with n/a xr6 s,.

as a tuning workshop we are always intersested in the real world response to the tunes we have out on the street. the forum for us is a good way to hear the consumers response to a product either positive or negative. we have been re-tuning the ba range of cars ( by re-edit and by piggy back ) for a long while now and from the response from our customers and from what we read on the forum , as a tuning workshop we can say without a doubt nothing comes close . we have been tuning (custom tuning ) with the FordEdit program now for several months and have many cars out there that have been raced, dyno comps , been given a hard time , and just driven as an everyday car . after a few initial small niggles , with confidence we can say that our customers have all been more than happy with there edits. the tunes since the FordEdit has been released have been all giving great power increases, and importantly repeatability. the main importance for us is that the tunes have all been proven out in the best testing field ( the consumers hands ) for quite a while now and the response is there is no comparison. nothing comes close. virtually 100% DEVELOPED. kind regards david roscio

not on the typoon as yet, but there is no reason we are not going to see the same results on the typoon for less upgrade money and effort than we are already seein on the current turbo . sensible upgrades on the xr6t to achieve 300+ rwkw would be injectors, valve springs, intercooler , exhaust and edit. on the typhoon I suspect we reach these same figures with possibly only exhaust and edit. although we are seeing bare minimum upgrades eg. injectors and custom edits only achieving 300 rwkw on some xr6t . david roscio

every so often I enjoy reading the forums on opinions and the nature of products and how they are recieved and how well they are working out in the real world, - the consumer usually gives most of these answers after driving there car through all sorts of conditions and situations. as a tuning workshop we are mainly interested on how well the tune responds after ( in our case an edit or a piggy back ) retune. there is no comparison. after tuning many ba fords both turbo and n/a other the last several months we confidently say there is not one disadvantage in the FordEdit re- tuning on the ba range of cars. many cars we have tuned have consistantly been raced, pounded , dyno comps , and just every day driven out in the real world, and we have had only excellent feedback from all. at this stage as a workshop we would be more than happy to highly say that editing your ford ( when properly tuned ) gives great power response and reapeatability. up to now only some small niggles have arisen which have now all been sorted out very quickly and the editing is virtually 100%. I think the positive response on the forums would also confirm this. there is no comparison.

just informed. if anyone intersestd in bonnet scoop decals to compliment the extra power from the FordEdit they may be ready tomorrow night.( hot off the press ) all geniune ford colours available in genuine styling. 2 numbers produced at the moment 300 BOSS for the xr8 FordEdit upgrade ( can also be used for xr6t upgrade ) 320 BOSS for the gtp FordEdit upgrade if not ready orders and price can be given tomorrow night. kind regards david roscio KPM Motorsport
