FGeorge Member 79 Member For: 2y 9m 26d Posted 09/06/21 05:33 AM Share Posted 09/06/21 05:33 AM Ok guys, hear me out Here's what I want to do Picture a day at the tracks, coming through the corners nicely on a low power tune for the track, keeping the rear in line and tackling the corners nicely. Then, out of a corner into a straight, foot down... What's missing is a button that changes tunes to a higher kw tune so that when you hit the straight, you can press the 'nitrous' button, Turbo psi increases, injectors open up, etc and you get a solid pull along the straight. Switch back to the track tune and hit the corners again. Obviously would be nice on the street too if you want to swap easily between your daily power and a more powerful tune at will. Sort of like playing a playstation game and hitting the nos button just when you need extra power Is this possible? Can we do this? I really need this in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it's just a module with different tunes preloaded on it and I select between them whenever I want. Am I dreaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You modulate it based on how much power you want in the situation.If you wanted it more subdued at light throttle and all the hectics at higher throttle, your tuner can easily map it that way in the tune.PCMTec can do boost by gear, so you could have it tuned for different boost targets depending what gear you are in. Can also have the tune switchable from the cruise buttons, but not quite suited to actually changing it during a lap, between corners, etc.For an actual button or switch to immediately change the tune you'd probably need to look at going to a Haltech ECU.

Just use PCMTec to activate all the stuff with the cruise control button. Pull for hecticness, release for normalness. 20 minutes ago, El Andrew said: For an actual button or switch to immediately change the tune you'd probably need to look at going to a Haltech ECU. Nah. Just use PCMTec and the cruise control button as a scramble button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
