Will I need to upgrade my ecu?

Do I have to reprogram my keys?

Will this eliminate my precats?

Do I need cams?

How many hp will I gain with my injen cai?


Just a handful of questions that may arise by this thread !!

As a matter of fact on most cars it should increase as rpm increases due to the combustion process taking place in a shorter time, therefore necessitating more ignition advance to make the maximum cylinder pressure happen at the optimum time in the pistons travel and stroke.

I would do it.... as soon as you can reflash our 5.5 ECU I will be one of the first to get it done...... I had my old 02 reflashed and it was great

It's not a "can" merely a when.

chikd_uv_korn and myself have already flashed several of the 5.5 6 speed ecus.

No pricing at the moment, still working on a few things. Shooting for the middle of July before anything happens.

IVT, and it's already better than stock.... since it looks strikingly familiar to this.




Most say the Z33 has this to "compensate" for it's single stage IM.


Here's a comp of stock FWD IVT vs modified (Z33 style).

It does drop @ peak torque, but rises thereafter.

Correct, and correct.

Here's a 3D view of the "improved" cam timing.

Probably our resident "A33 TECH".
He's worried that this will stop the fuses from filtering amperes, split your battery and cause the motor mounts to fail.

RPM, Degrees, and the one I'm sure you're wondering about is Load(or more specifically Base Fuel Schedule, which is essentially load.)

At this point, timing, rev limits, electronic throttle, intake cam timing, fuel target(AFR), fuel compensation, idle target, and MAF transfer function are all editable, and more importantly flashable. This should allow 99% of applications to be tuned(extreme FI combos can be tuned, but not 100% like I would like, YET.) There are a few other things I am working on at the moment that would allow even more power. Not bad for the short amount of development time.

I was under the impression that load was defined as airflow (maf signal/gm/s), RPM, and throttle angle?

FSM says [“Calculated load value” indicates the value
of the current airflow divided by peak airflow.] But I always remember somewhere they mentioning throttle angle. Either way, re-defining it to sa more useful thing is better.

Yeah this is all good news.

That's not an incorrect statement as all those things are factored in to get the "base fuel schedule." The reason base fuel schedule is used is because it is how the ecu tables are setup.

That would be the cheapest option. I'm sure we can acquire ECUs and send one, but then you would have to program the keys and it would be costlier.
