Nissan Titan V8 falls victim to my plate

So I go out with my HP tuners software running to make a log file after thinking I properly added 3 more TCC parameters, Trans. output shaft RMP, Turbine RPM and Downshift Solenoid 3-2 (not exactly sure what that one does, but it looked cool so I added it anyway) since Chris from Circle D wanted to see, particularly the TCC parameters. Anyway, I made a really good log file of some City driving, 0 - 100, 55 - 100 and a few 40 roll accelerations (where I think there may be a problem with either my trans. slipping or converter because it just doesn't accelerate like it should) and on my way home, a young kid in a Nissan Titan (who I'd noticed behind me on the highway while making some of my test runs) gets off at my exit, pulls up next to me at the light and TRYS to race. Needless to say he got his ass smoked pretty good!

 

The best part of all was when I got home to look over the new log file I had just made, I discovered that none of the above parameters saved!! :angry: Oh well, gives me an excuse to go out for another test run!

 

...I did finally get it figured out and made sure the new config. file saved properly this time!

Indeed, thanks Johnny! The cool part was, I was just minding my own business (as I usually do :angel: ) trying to log some regular city driving, took off at the light normally and then I see this very young kid looking over at me with a big grin on his face as he's blowing by...he had a couple of secs. head start. So I stomp on it and reeled him in very quickly - within 1/8 and blew by him with us both at WOT!

 

I get so much action where I live it's ridiculous! Seems like almost every time I take her out someone's trying to race...can't wait till the weather gets nicer

Sadly I get more races on my warmed over stock looking neon then I do my truck. It seems people see SS and get scared. I roll in my beater looking neon and everything wants to screw with me. Here is a pic of my Neon. Mind you warmed over is a magnum sohc head and port and polish, 11:1 compression and a magnum intake and full exhaust and mopar performance computer. It holds it's own pretty well. Shit my escort looks faster than my Neon with the wheels and full escort gt bumpers on it. It's all stock engine wise. Here is a pic of my escort. Irritating let me tell you.

I remember doing this^ a few times when I first got my HPT Suite... It sucks so bad to do a 30 min data log only to have it not save because you forget to click stop on the record and save as LOL... I am now in the habit of checking and double checking... Hell I dont even drive my truck anymore without scanning with the laptop next to me... The tune tweaking is a nonstop process LOL... Plus I am always checking for Detonation and making sure I am not going to blow up something....

Makes me feel a little better I'm not the only one! Seems like there's a lot to learn with this software (at least for me) but it's a great investment. One would almost need to buy another PCM to do mail order tunes + just paying for S&H a few times and you've almost paid for one - not to mention the down time you have waiting on the mail man!

 

 

Iirc you did the 80e swap, the 80e does not use a 3-2 shift solenoid. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
