Hey, anyone know how you go about getting your ecu flashed? Is this a must after install a S/c? Somekits saythey come with an ecu already reprogrammed. Do they work right?

generally? uhh only 2 kits for cavaliers that i know of come with reflashes. One is the Gm Kit and the other is the Vortec Kit IF AND ONLY IF you buy it from HighRev motor sports and you drive to their store to have it done. Just buying a supercharger doesnt get you a reflash.

so if I just order the stage kit from high rev they can't reflah it unless I drive there tohave them install it. Not sure if I want to drive all the way to illinois.

"Comes with Vortech supercharger, all brackets and oil lines, belt and pulleys, reprogrammed ECU, adjustable blow-off valve, FMU, induction piping and K&N cone filter. Aftermarket gauges are recommended. This is a complete bolt-on kit."

this was taken from www.highrevmotorsports.com notice how it says "reprogrammed ECU" not,... "we will reprogram it for you" it states quite clearly "comes with... reprogrammed ECU" BOOYAH... i win 10 pts... lol

I know what it says, I wanted to know if anyone has bought one from them to say whether it's right or not.

or you could go to a gm dealer and they will reflash your computer if its a 00+ 2.4L, theres a part number for it, i dont know it off the top of my head, and the reflash will allow you to run a 2bar maf and all that good stuff.

Little expensive that option.


Anyways, I have news, HP tuners will soon be releasing their PCM tuner suite for the LD-9 and Quad 4s!! $600 nets you the poackage and then you can adjust pretty much everything! So contant adjustments aloowed and can be rolling road dynojet tuned for optimal performance

You think a dealer would charge your 600 dollars or more to do this?

Also www.jbodyperformance.com does ECU stuff now. And yes HP tuners put us on hold for the LS2.
