2000_BLACK_SS Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I am looking at getting the larger ported throttle body from ZZP this summer and i am pretty sure with the larger throttle body that i would need some tunning software to go along with it. first off is that true? But can i buy a PCM from ZZp and have them tune it to having the larger throttle body. Or should i just save and get my own tunning software from HPtunners or DHP? Also i dont have a laptop so i would have to try and find one to use with the software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 For just a ported TB you will not see much if anything from tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000_BLACK_SS Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I was not sure if i needed the tuner/pcm i just thought i remembered somebody saying with a larger throttle body that i would need to retune my car to it. So i really dont need a tuner if i get a larger throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I dont see why you would, not changing that much on the car to need any tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I heard that a larger TB, you'll need to tune. Depending on how much bigger you go from stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I can't remember what thread I read that in, but it was either on CGP or grandprixforums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 you'll only need a tune if you get their stage 2 TB. stage 1 requires no other mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000_BLACK_SS Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Turbo Tim from ZZp emailed me back and said that for the stage 1 throttle body that there is no tunning necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
