V8 HSV Tune on V6 Memcal

Post by VQTURBO »

Can I burn a a HSV enhanced 180kw tune onto a v6 memcal or is there something different between the 2 memcals?

Yes you can burn a V8 tune onto a V6 memcal but, and its the killer, if the memcal is fitted within the V6 blue case the V6 netres and knock filter will still be there and that would cause problems with Limp Home mode. Also the entire knock sensor filter will be wrong and possibly make it sense false knock causing your ignition to retard up to 12 degrees.

BTW did you realise you posted this question twice in different posts?

EDIT: I should clarify that this is for ECMs not PCMs.

You can use the v6 memcal but need to cut leg for netres & remove the knock filter!
