Agreed. There is a lot of knowledge to be had by newbies to tuning (such as myself) and it will help keep the people who know all about it, from repeating themselves as the PRP is gaining popularity.

+1

Come out to redline this friday.

+1000!

I'm with you guys ... I am at a point with the Contour that I will start to use the PRP here soon and such a forum would be invaluable!

I'll post a link to this in the Mod forum.

Thanks.

I'd like to see a tuning forum as well.

x2. Would be great to learn, even if I never get to use it, it would be great to know what all is involved.

The SCT forums are pretty good, but it is ALL mustang guys.

Exactly. They do have some good info in their forums, some of which can be applied to us, but a lot isn't so clear. It would be nice to see a Contour based tuning forum.

Ditto.

I gave up on SCT forums when I had the issue with rev limiter and AC problem.

Turns out the AC problem was not the tune...

go figure, and the Rev limit problem I ended up fixing myself by changing everything I could think of in the tune that had rpm related to it.

Anyway, the tuning information on CEG is there, just scattered and of course we'll be changing and adding to it with regard to SCT tuning, maybe even Diablo if someone buys their stuff and figures it out.

Fixed

Hey Mods,

I'm seeing lots of questions about PRP package tuning and I'm thinking it may be a time for another forum specific to chip and flash tuning.

I just posted a lengthy response about PRP tuning that may be better suited to its own forum in order to concentrate the questions and knowledge to that area.
The tuning principles being the same for any of the OBDII pcm setups with some carryover to OBDI, I'd think that anyone could come in and find info that they would need.

Effin GREAT idea!!!!

and tom gets another one

I think Tom should be the mod of that forum.

All in favor say I.

At this rate, I might as well add the new forum to NECO ... god forbid we actually have a few forums/threads/posts that contribute to the CDW-27 community

Seriously ... this thread is how old and has how much support, yet no forum has yet to be created? Sorry, I'm usually the one getting [censored] at for this kind of stuff ... kinda nice being on the other end of the keyboard

we're waiting on a big forum software changeover once Lance gets some time, so I'm holding off changing any forums until then. We actually have a few things we are going to change in regards to forum layout. So don't get too pissy, the request has been duly noted, and is likely to appear with the new forums in the near future.

Thats awesome.

And how long have we been talking about this change over?

Wait, is that Christ?

Having also been there (just recently), it takes about 10-12 dedicated hours ... and that is if everything goes smoothly! Lance is probably just trying to find the time and motivation ... been there, done that ... it sucks!

Hey, don't look at me, I'm just the messenger, lol.

Hahaha, this made me laugh pretty good. Neco's got pretty good forums and these days the activity in the engine mod sections is much better than in the past. Still have a much higher percentage of inexperienced people in them, but that has also been changing over time too!

There was a bit of seriousness in this post however ... I'm willing to create the forum if you guys want. Let me know.

I + infinity i posed this question in neco

is there a way to get this part of both forums.

look at the knowledge on both forums and the shear amount of swaps going on and majority of tuners are using the xcal 2.

Does neco have a forum up for the prp? If it does, I might consider re-signing up.

I'm reindexing the site so the search will work properly again. After that is done, I will add the forum. Sometime tonight!

that's awesome Trevor. Hopefully it turns into something very vauable for all of us cougar/contour/mystique owners!

Just set it up ... now, who wants to be a moderator on there? Tom, the offer still stands

i vote for tom..... mod on neco and CEG

I'll second that

If there are two mods or someone to back me up when I can't log on, then I guess I can try it for a while.

just FYI guys, it appears Lance is scheduling the new forums to go online mid-august and it will include a new Tuning/Calibration forum.

Looking forward to the site redesign

Me too! A tuning forum will become my favorite place to visit. I think this redesign is the perfect time to donate money to CEG.
