KTuner Extended Testing And Tune Results

With great power comes great responsibility.

I personally would just alter the torque tables so i don't have insane amounts of torque at 2500+ rpm. (at the cost of some hp ofc)

I don't think the rods will be too happy if someone floored the car from 2k rpm and hitting 400wtq soon after lol.

really strange that the clutch hold better .....

I think the problem is that the turbo spools, the spark advances, and the ignition event happens while the piston is too close to TDC, meaning that instead of the piston pushing the crank down, the piston tries to go through the rod journal. Not quite that graphic, but something like that.

We absolutely don't know that "it's not an issue." At this point we don't have enough data.

We know that 400wtq is the power level that bent the rods. Stage 1 ktuner can get pretty damn close to those levels. But it's not just the power level, but also where the torque is made.

We may have a string of people bending rods or spinning bearings soon on the stage 1 ktuner. There just hasn't been enough testing yet to know that it's not a problem.

We do have enough data and we limit the torque production on purpose because of this.

You'll notice on our dyno sheets (Page 1) that our torque curve doesn't rocket up and it's quite obviously limited on purpose. It flattens and holds for several thousand RPMs. There's a lot more torque to be gained, but we've done our due diligence with testing and shared data with multiple sources to get to where our stage 1 is. We are trying to preserve longevity for our customers.

Sounds good. And for the record I'll be on the stage 1 shortly, so I'm not a hater.

Hopefully they last for a looooong time.

That's the plan!

I have a KTuner v1.2. waiting for a good time to send off my ECU. Any news on a dealer being in Texas?

You'd arrange that directly with KTuner or one of the other unlocking stations we've announced, depending on what route you want to go for the tune.

Fast Q with the V2 is there a way to monitor oil pressure?

As a side note what's a good holder to have the V2 unit in my car off of the windshield?

Not currently.

There's a link to an example mount in the Online Help. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IMM4Q94

Cool thanks!

For the mount what else is everyone else using? I'd like to see a few options to see what would fit best.

Did I miss an area where you listed unlocking stations?

I used an air vent mount for mine.

It was a Facebook announcement.
