Remote Tuning a Cammed SS Commodore LS1 - Does it work?

[@OPTIMUS6LTR]

absolute credit to you, had my VZ SS for 16years just cant bring myself to sell it, thinking about rebuild with similar setup, great job.

[@GrouseGarage]

Thank you mate. 16 years ownership is very impressive!

Careful, they’re addictive😂👌

Enjoying your videos mate, impressive results and can always run it down the drag strip to gauge performance. I had my VU SS dyno tuned but have considering using a product like this to optimise / correct the tune for changes I’ve made since.

Thanks mate. Being productive and having fun along the way. 🤙 Remote tune allows you to tweak and update indefinitely. Great if you continue to tweak and mod your car.

Nothing wrong with Dyno’s and fresh engine if you talked to a tuner I’m sure they would have addressed your concerns of a fresh engine like doing a run in tune and even set a rpm limit so no one gets carried away would have also addressed your starting and stalling issues, and a dyno tube is much safer then a mail order tune which you choose as it technically is. Plus many more benefits. Have to say you’ve done really well doing this all by yourself definitely something to be proud of!

[@GrouseGarage]

Thanks mate. Fair advice. If I had a trailer and tow vehicle I would have considered a dyno tune more closely.

Great videos, mate! Been watching over a few of your recent series. Definitely looking forward to the paint and panel 🤙🏻 Keep it up mate 👍🏻

Good video ..thinking of using the remote tune way …how do you rate the whole procedure ….worth the effort considering….did the car have any other flat spots / issues other than the idle.

[@GrouseGarage]

The whole process was pretty straight forward but it took maybe a month all up to get to the final tune, so you have to have patience. The car drove okay with standard tune, just did not idle and no cam chop. After the final tune it absolutely ripped. Huge difference.

hey Grouse I have the same VX vic popo ! want to do exactly what you have done how much did it cost you to rebuild motor & trans ? mines got 190ks on it & its a bit tired , cld use a freshen up

[@GrouseGarage]

Good question. A few people have asked. I dumped everything into a spreadsheet and this is how it comes out :O Engine parts (no labour): $5124.31. Transmission parts (no labour): $3303.19.

Really enjoying the X po po videos… Do you still have it & anymore updates?

[@GrouseGarage]

It lives in Mudgee, NSW now getting bodywork done.

[@calvinsmith2589]

Great video,What was the cost of doing the tune this way all up.

[@GrouseGarage]

This will be in my next video, which will be a price reveal for everything. Keep an eye out for that.

[@scottb5356]

Great video. Can I ask who is your tuner?

[@ianmccarthy4195]

Can you help me please where did you get your tune from thank you for your help

[@paulquilliam8110]

I think your startup / idle problem is all about your throttle position sensor. Pretty sure from memory theres some process for intitiating this procedure holding the mode and up button on the trip meter buttons with the reds on . Don't quote me but I'm sure youll find something online... been like 10 yrs since i did it.

[@GrouseGarage]

Checked it today. Voltage readings are spot on.

[@AndrewMitchell001]

No when you upgrade your stock cam for a large cam the car wont idle till its tuned in an auto, it has nothing to do with TPS, bigger cam needs more air/fuel. and higher idle I run a Crow cams 229/235 in my LS1 and it likes to idle at 900rpms.

[@pauljohns8215]

how much did it cost?

[@GrouseGarage]

Going to do a price reveal video for this project and I will include the cost of everything in that.
