VRX8-LS3 Auto Remap

[laybyLiL]

Interested to know if anyone has had their Auto recalibrated at Walkinshaws and whether its worth doing? Any hint of jerkiness during up/down shifts?

I'd also be interested to hear about this. I understand that Wortec have an Auto remap as well.

Anyone?

I pick my car up today and I'm thinking about tackling it myself. Although I want to get some miles on it first to learn how it drives and what needs addressing.

[anonymous-user]

Anyone got this yet? what's the verdict?

[eliot]

Not yet. My plan is to purchase HPtuners and take a look at it, although other expenses are taking priority so far. I've got the GM tech manual on its way to me also.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with the way the box works, just want to reduce the shift times here and there.

I think Gareth (MYM8V8) will be the best person to comment on this...

Hopefully he will be around soon

The tune in these boxes can be improved on, depending on what you want. Kaw's new tune in his A6 helped him to a 12.9 1/4 mile time with no other major mods (other than an Oztrack engine tune too). This is an Oztrack Tune I installed for him.

MystVXR has a tune from Corvettes of Winchester (USA) which he says is an improvement. He also has CoW SC tune for the motor.

I think Eliot will get more support in this country from using efilive IMHO. The licensing system is far simpler too.

The remap only sorts the slushy bit between 1st & 2nd in standard auto mode. Thats it basicly. There are no remap changes made to the "S" or Manual modes. Each vehicle has a unique program so this is downloaded off your vehicle, sent to the guys in OZ over night and is returned next day. Hope that helps.

Just a Tweek Tweek

A trans remap is the same as an engine remap in that its almost infinately variable.
It depends on the tuner and what you want doing etc. Loads of options and settings to play with.
You can have it any way you want.

If I had a stbox I would leave normal mode stock and set sports mode for optimal shift and rpm use etc.
Then when you are in a mellow mood you can cruise around as stock.

thats how mine is ,AND I THOUGHT YOU HAD

[madmunky]

Richard doesnt have an auto....

[ringram]

I think he thought I did because my car shifts so fast up the strip

Lol its cause you get so much practice cause your clutch only lets you rev to 1500rpm so your shifting every 30seconds.

[kaw]

so rich before this gets into a pissing match how many guys are having problems with clutchs and boxs with standard power,so why is the auto s--t,.
