This can happen, if someone had the money for it, they woulda jumped in. Now as for the test mule, you need to be in California and none of us are.

I have followed them on another forum. I have nothing against them. I have never done business with them.

Correct me if I am wrong here; the LLT PCM has yet to be cracked. That means it can't be tuned. Correct me again if I am wrong; you are not going to have a very drive-able car that has forced induction and no tune.

There is a company that does an excellent job tuning forced induction llt and for that matter non fi llt. Its mentioned above in several posts - trifecta.

Indeed, this has already been mentioned several times in this thread alone.

Trifecta does the tuning for various forced induction solutions being researched by different companies and individuals on this site alone. Don't they also do the tuning on vehicles with the STS Turbo? There have been different challenges for each solution, such as twin-turbos flowing more than single-turbo solutions and whatnot; but, there have been several hurdles overcome by Trifecta already (not the least of which is fuel delivery at WOT).

Half of the discussion on this thread has been about forgoing the standalone PCM included in the D3 kit and using Trifecta to tune the Bosch unit.

I guess I am wrong then

The PCM for the CTS has not been hacked yet. I come from the Caddy world, the Camaro is still new to me.

Amenti · 04-05-2011, 09:13 PM

I believe it's the same PCM. The Caddy 3.6 guys should be calling Trifecta!

garcmol · 04-05-2011, 09:26 PM

I know Lingenfelter had done one V6, interest went through the roof, then it died. Has anyone reallycracked the Bosch PCM? The A6 guys have had some tranny tuning done but NO ONE that I've heard of can say they cracked the Bosch unit.

And I know the SS is on a Zeta platform, but the LS/LTs???

GreenWithEnvy · 04-05-2011, 09:52 PM

My other post may have been misunderstood... I have been in direct contact with D3. I spoke with two different people and got two way different prices. I explained to them that my car will be at SEMA this year and they could use it as a prototype car and they told me the kit for the CTS will bolt directly up.

This has been covered in many posts on this thread, and numerous threads on the entire forum. Vince @ Triifecta can tune the V6 ECM. Period. End of story.

all 5th gen Camaros are Zeta hybrids... (rear is not direct Zeta transplant)

formare · 04-05-2011, 10:32 PM

Yes the ecm has been cracked. Seems difficult to get that point out there to the masses.

Yes, it has been REALLY cracked. Talk to the guys running the turbos.

What, are you kidding, really? Did you think they'd put them on entirely two different platforms just because the drivetrain is different and make them in the same assembly plant?

garcmol · 04-06-2011, 07:36 AM

I was thinking FE2 and FE3. All's well, I just don't get my hopes up anymore.

Trifecta has tuned the single turbo in Hawaii to run 9 lbs boost. They are still having issues with the Twin Turbo to run more than 4-5 lbs of boost, but they will figure that out. The twin is a relatively new setup.

The single turbo has been running since last fall in Hawaii w/o any issues.
