Re: tuning on ebay?

Since they list a bunch of things that don't apply to the syty, I would say they are a bulk get rich take your money and do nothing tune.

WTF would they need your current chip info if it is for a syty?

I asked them some simple questions that any chip maker could answer but are syty specific, wonder if they will answer back :roll:

Well I got a quick response but they didnt answer anything I asked :lol:



I custom make each chip to fit your needs. So you get to pick out those parts of the calibration yourself. You just let me know what you want this chip to do for you, and I make them. I do all the Performance Tuning, but if you have anything specific that you want done, like temperature calibrations, or rpm limits, or speed limits, etc, you get to pick what you would like your engine to run at and I will make sure to fix it up for you. Thank you for your interest.

From the answers he has no clue what needs done. If you have to tell him what to change, why are you hiring him?
 
Re: tuning on ebay?

If you think I am a fake and am just trying to steal your money, then why don't you just look at my Feddback? None of my other chip buyers thought I was stealing their money when they picked up 40HP to the rear wheels. I tune chips for race cars. So the answer to your calling me a fake is this: If you don't want me to ask you questions about your vehicle, then don't ask me for a chip. Because I have to ask you questions about your performance parts, chip code, and your personal preferences because I have to take all that into consideration when tuning your new chip. Not all SyTy chips are the same. If you think I am lying, then everyone needs to post the four letter code on the back of their chips on here and we will see who's chip matches. That code is the calibration code that GM labelled your chip with. How can a chip for an automatic transmission and a manual transmission be the same? If you don't know anything about tuning, then how can you tell another person that I am trying to steal his money? If you want some basic cheap chip, then go visit Hypertech or Jet. You won't even remember that you installed their chips, because you cannot feel the power difference. If you want to run 12, 14, 16, or 18lbs. of boost---the next time I ask one of those dumb*ss questions that you hate to answer so much, I will remember that you're not really sure if you even want to order a chip, because if you did, you would be really picky about your calibration. Most of my customers run race cars and are really picky about Engine Temp., Spark Timing, Air/Fuel Ratio..blah blah blah....so I ask all my customers the same questions. If you want a good chip, I need to understand your intentions. Is it a daily driver, or strictly a race car? If you don't know how you want your vehicle to act after installing a new performance part, then you are barking up the wrong tree. Because I make your vehicle do what you want it to do on the street or the strip. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thank you for your time.

Re: tuning on ebay?

Ok, hang tight Jimmy. He showed up and answered in person so he may not be a scam. I mean the effort to show up and reply should buy him at least the benefit of the doubt right (man were a tough crowd aren't we, eh)? Beside I have a brother right there in Waco over on Lake Shore Dr. that can go check him out.

Ok, I have just picked up a 92' Ty for the wife. You say you need to ask some questions and I understand that. I need to ask some questions to, sooo...... here we go. BTW we have been scammed and burned so much around here that it seems to be the norm and Jimmy can be an ass anyway :rotf: so never mind the hard luck cases hanging around in here ;) . If we had enough brains to walk across the street, we’d all walk away from these rolling money pits called trucks :2cents: !
My questions:

The truck has very minor bolt on's - cat back 3" ex. KB cold air, adj. FPR, high vol. pump etc.
Can you make a cal. that will bump the stock boost limt to around 13-14 psi safely?
Override the I.C. fan thermostat control and turn the pump and I.C. fan on together at a lower than than the stock 150 deg. Delete the EGR function. Set the boost control to the above mentioned higher than stock 13-14 psi but be able to delete the cat con and not have boost spikes or creep and not have check engine lights? Can you over ride the stock manual trans option fuel cut out (auto trans doesn't have it)? I buy my inspection stickers so I will ditch the cat but I had to have a custom chip done for my SY to have it idle right and not throw codes. Can you do this and in open loop would be nice?

Last question, I don't want take a chance on engine damage to this low mile Ty (hence the real mild only a couple of pounds increase in the boost over stock to like 13-14 psi.) how many Sy's or Ty's have you tuned? Any in the Texas area (or anywhere really) that you could let me talk to as a reference?

Your questions: Ask away, what ever you need to know?

But young jedi, you must understand your trying to market your skills to a group of people that have studied these trucks for years. You might be the best tuner around, but it is obvious you do not have a clue when it comes to syty's.

Let me know when the mystery manual syty chip shows up?

If you have customers that want something changed from a stock calibration great, I can go to moates.net pull the call, pull the defiinition files I helped CREATE off nwstp.com make the changes, burn the chip and away we go.

But I would rather go look at the source code for the syty bin, modify and fix some of the formulas GM half fixed to make it work on a syty, and really get the ecm right. While I am in there I will probably activate the spool up mode (find that in the stock chip).

Sorry but your responses, ebay ad, etc is so generic you look like a grade school kid walking into a conference of rocket scientist wondering which room the slide is in.

Re: tuning on ebay?

i asked him a question about map sensors and he respondedpretty quickly. i think however that i need to have someone look at my truck first before i try to make it faster. cause i am getting alot of retard and boost will spike to 13-14lbs then drop down to 9-10lbs.....

Spiking to stock boost? if your loosing boost like that you need to do a leak down and see where your boost is escaping to

Re: tuning on ebay?

i was thinking it was something else. i really have not done much to it, but wouldnt the ecm pull boost and timing if it is picking up knock? it runs really good up to about 45 or 50 then it falls on its face.

That would be a neat trick, since they never came with a manual transmission.

You won't even remember that you installed their chips, because you cannot feel the power difference. If you want to run 12, 14, 16, or 18lbs. of boost---

This would be a neat trick too. I've been doing chips for these for 15 years.. I can't pick a WG DC number for a truck that I've never seen, or had data from, and make it produce that boost level. It works about 10% of the time, just out of luck.

the next time I ask one of those dumb*ss questions that you hate to answer so much, I will remember that you're not really sure if you even want to order a chip, because if you did, you would be really picky about your calibration.

Questions are good... you should see the barrage of questions I ask people when they drop their truck off...

But if you think you can have someone tell you their mod list, what they want out of it, and how they're driving it, and send them a chip that works, you haven't had much experience with these trucks.

There's no magic to taking the stock cal, and upping the timing and or the boost. Making it do so, and not knock itself to death in short period of time, is what really takes the effort.

Throw in the fact that these things are 15+ years old, and typically have many, many mechanical issues that need to be resolved, and it pretty much precludes the idea of a chip that someone can send you in the mail or sell on ebay.
 
Re: tuning on ebay?

The SyTy is different, but all the concepts are still the same as any other older model vehicle with a turbo on it. All vehicles from 1985-1993 that had a turbo had the same computer as a SyTy. And the last one I tuned is on my Ebay Feedback profile. It was a 1988 Sunbird Turbo. He sent me many pictures of his car. It looked brand new. It was a great car. Stock, it had 215 put to the ground. He never modified the engine, but he did have some electronics that would keep his ECM from cutting fuel so he could run 18lbs. of boost. He wanted a chip that he could use, so he could get rid of his Fuel Defender(the box he was using to keep fueling up to 18lbs. of boost.) So I made him one, for a stock engine, where he could push 18lbs., and kept it within it's safe limits for a stock engine. He emailed me back, after the Dyno and he had went from 215 to 260HP to the ground on his stock engine. You can email him if you like and he can tell you how well it now performs. I can safely raise your boost, and still keep the fueling and timing working great together without causing engine harm. I can make your engine run alot cooler, remove everything that trys to cut your fuel. You name it, it can be done. And to guy who talks about finding the code for "turbo spooling": There are no computer sensors hooked up to your turbo, so how in the H*LL is the computer going to control your turbo spooling time. If you tune an engine correctly, you can definitely speed up the spooling process by cutting the spooling time atleast in half. You can criticize my work all day long, but I have plenty of feedback on Ebay to prove that what I do, works. Get on Ebay and take a look at other sellers who sell fake products. They can only maintain a good feedback rating for so long before they end up pissing atleast one person off and getting back feedback. I have absolutely %100 positive feedback. That means that I do my job. I have email after email saved in my PC's directly where customers have emailed me back praising me on how good my skills are. I have had customers put V8 engines underneath their V6 ECM, and called me to make it run right. That is a rather pain to do, as I have to changed every single calibration on the chip, but it is not impossible. So what I do is not a fake. And I don't have to go, Forum to Forum to find people talking about me. Because every single time a customer clicks on one of my Ebay Listings, I can see the link he came from to find it. I have been watching what yall say about me for about a month now and thought it was time to say something.
