You can turn the idle down for fun too.

trans cooler

X2 and X3.... especially if it is an agressive stall(3500 +)

 

[PANDA]

tune the NOS timer you will run 9's

 

[syP]

trans cooler is installed..


I mean.. VIA HPTuners.. what needs to be adjusted for TCC lockup and such. (also torque mangement changes???) but more importantly.. THE TCC LOCKUP SETTINGS

DO NOT want to burn up a brand new converter because the lockup is freaking out.

 

[SinSStr]

Just the trans cooler should be fine. You can always ask the people who made the converter what they recommend. I've got a Vig and mine will go in and out of lock-up if I'm cruising at highway speeds for extended periods of time. I've put over 12,000 miles on it, including several trips to Cleveland and back with no trans or converter issues.

There are settings in HPT to help the converter work better... I'll take a look later awn tonight and see what I can find for ya...

eagle, have you ever seen a file for the A6 trans? There has to be like 400 editable tables for the damn thing.

 

[syP]

Yes eagle.. please lemme know... beer is on me next time i see you


according to Scott at INTENSE... (lol)... no major tuning needs to be done... just some idle tweaks.


And another guy on the g8board said that TCC lockup issue/burning up, was only on some triple disc converters.. i just have a basic converter.... hmmmm

 

[Smokinhot]

Ya dude, its like worse than tuning a LS1 in itself... ain't purdy!

 

[syP]

find out anything eagle?

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

id talk to 262( brandon) he knows this stuff fairly well and does alot of locals TBSS' tunes. see if he can help you out with anything on yours.

 

[Eagle]

Yea, I've found a couple things... but no one has really made a science out of the whole A6 tuning yet... so most tuning suggestions are trial and error for the most part. Just going to have to see how they work for you.

Have you killed torque management yet?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Ive been tuning what I can on his car. It still has torque management, as recommended by most people tuning these so far. The shifts feel really poor without it. Apparently the A6 TCC uses PWM and cant be just set to lock the converter clutch. It slowly applies so you dont feel such a harsh lock, which is great for a stock stall, but people burning up aftermarket converts. HP tuners doesnt support the parameters needed to make it lock up 100% and not ease into it.

Funny I was just reading that... There is supposedly a thread in the GenIV section somewhere that has some additional info that apparently has brought some folks some luck.

I'm looking forward to seeing if there is any way around this just yet...
