SCT Tune Help

silverbullet17 · December 11th, 2007, 11:14 AM

so i have a sct xcal 3 from bamachips and when i put their custom 93 octane tune in my valves start rattling/pinging and i contacted them and doug from there said it was not his tunes but my car. the thing is though that my car didn't do this before the tune and when i take the tune off theirs no rattling. anyone know why it would do this or how to make it not? i've had nothing but problems with the tuner so far, the first one i got was deffective so i got the second and now the tune makes my cars valves rattle i just want to use the tunes. thanks alot for any help

probably a shitty tune. get it dyno tuned. the dyno shop will use your tuner to save the tunes and modify them a little. this way you will have a perfect tune for your setup.

how much do think that'll will cost?

depends on the shop

well i just went out and put the 93 octane tune back in my car and i had 87 octane in it and their was no rattling or pinging which is wierd but good haha. and my car was on empty so i went and got premium gas. my car only pings a tiny bit and thats when i floor it. even then it sounds like if you had like tic tac in a container and lightly shook it and it sounds like that for like a second. is that bad or becuase its only doin it a tiny bit it really doesn't matter? thanks

silverbullet17 · December 11th, 2007, 01:11 PM

Hourofpain · December 11th, 2007, 01:29 PM

se the tune that it comes with for our cars then?

silverbullet17 · December 11th, 2007, 01:35 PM

what?

Hourofpain · December 11th, 2007, 01:40 PM

when you get the sct i beleive it has a base tune in it.

silverbullet17 · December 11th, 2007, 01:42 PM

yea it it does but i also got a tune from bamachips which is better just has the pinging. but my main question is, is the slight pinging bad or becuase its hardly there it doesn't matter

Hourofpain · December 11th, 2007, 01:52 PM

I think its predetonation
so its not great

Juggalo_X · December 11th, 2007, 02:15 PM

its a 93 octance tune and im running 93 octane. i had 87 octane and it was on low fuel when i put the 93 octane tune on and i didn't hear any pinging. i then got 93 octane which is in my car now and every so often i hear a lil pinging very lightly for like half a sec. and when i sas light pinging i was with my dad in the car and he said he didn't hear anything.

if i backed the timing a lil would that stop the smal pinging? or retarded the timing? if it would work how do i do it?

pull 2 degrees in all rpm ranges at wide open throttle. that should alleviate the ping. im guess WOT is when u hear the ping. most tuners dont modify the idle and PT timing and if they do its only 3-5 degrees. which on 93 should be ok. but if it is pinging at part throttle too. pull 2 degrees globally.
