BT CX-7's now? To bad I sold mine.

[Steve@VersaTune]

There's already a CX-7 in Russia running VT and 2.8 load....

Some times you need to get the groceries home in a hurry.

[lildisco]

Steve, any word on that economy tune?? Love my current tune, btw

[Steve@VersaTune]

I'm still trying to decide how to handle the slight tune differences between the various market regions. I may build separate US and Australian versions.

[lildisco]

That honestly sounds like a good idea

[dgillie]

are you guys able to do full throttle control like cpe?

[Steve@VersaTune]

VersaTuner provides full throttle control as well as many other fully user configurable values contained in 150+ tables and constants. VersaTuner is a flash based solution which provides direct control of the ECU by modifying the ECU software itself. CPE has, as I understand it, discontinued the standback product.

[Justin251]

It says on the website.

Gen 1 CX7 Turbocharged AWD only.

What about the 2wd models?

[Steve@VersaTune]

If it has a 2.3 MZR DISI Turbo engine, we can support it. Please contact support@versatune.net and we will figure out if your vehicle is currently supported.

Thanks,

Steve

If i install a test tipe or otherwise remove the catalytic converter will i have to install o2 blanks or have them tuned out?

Also, if i go intake and exhaust will i damage my engine without a tune?

I know even a bone stock car can benefit from a tune. Im just worried about damage should either lean out or richen the a/f ratio. Ive never had a Turbo vehicle before.

You will not need to modify the O2 sensors in any way. The primary wideband sensor is in front of the cats, so it makes no difference to that sensor what you do with the cats. The secondary narrow band sensor is between the two cats. It is used for fine tuning air fuel ratios that are very close to 14.7:1 such as at cruise. You can remove the second cat without affecting the secondary sensor. If you remove the primary cat, you can disable the DTC that is set when the ECU senses that the primary cat is missing or failed.

The ECU can adjust for a wide range of operating conditions. Most intakes are designed to run without any tuning. A 3" turbo back exhaust without tuning will result in undesirable boost spikes. Tuning for these modifications will get the most from them. Adding higher flow pipes won't do much if you don't tell the ECU to use the additional flow.

[Justin251]

Thanks for the response.

Do i run the risk of damaging anything with just a corksport intake and catback?

Im not going all out with this car. Just want it to sound good and have a little more kick.

[dgillie]

you should be fine. I currently have both of those mods and have clocked well over 10k with them on without any issues

[Justin251]

Awesome. the 06 f150 i had would run real lean with a cai unless you had a tuner. Some people had real problems. Id like to avoid that.

Thanks.

It should be a yes or no question whether you support 2wd CX-7's with the 2.3 MZR DISI Turbo and automatic trans.

[Mistersix]

Awesome. Glad this is available. Gonna check out the details of the software tonite.

I take it this would be load based tuning?

[Steve@VersaTune]

Correct. Load based tuning. We have eliminated the various load caps, so there isn't a need to boost tune.

[Mistersix]

sounds pretty awesome. First thing on my list once i have my cx-7.

[Mistersix]

Can you tune load per gear?

[Steve@VersaTune]

Yes.

It's the same functionality as what is available with VersaTuner for the MS6/MS3 minus the launch control and no lift shift.

[deepseachris]

Bought it today, just waiting on the emails. Looking forward to some tuning!

[aviator79]

Im gonna buy it. Sucks that I sold my tactrix cable.

[Lex]

If you guys are looking for a custom tune and the software we sell the tune + versatuner or just the custom tunes for the cx7.

We now offer the VersaLink cable. It is available in a competitively priced bundle either direct from VersaTune or through authorized resellers like Stratified Automotive.

I probably will, but the PP conversion rate is bullshit:
PayPal Conversion Rate as of Aug 10, 2012: 1 U.S. Dollar = 0.966224 Canadian Dollars
occuriding to real sites it is Exchange rate of 0.9919. Difference of about $25. A month ago it would have been better. Thats fucken crazy. I hate paypal. have to wait for USD to go back up.

[torquemaniac]

Very interesting stuff the Versatuner for CX-7

Can you give an estimate of the release date for the 2nd gen CX-7 (2010-2012)

[Steve@VersaTune]

We're close to releasing Gen2 MS3. CX-7 will follow that. No specific ETA at this point.

[Constantin]

Nice! Now all socker moms can get from A to B in no time

P.S. If you need help translation what Russian tuner are trying to say, let me know

We've looked at the FWD ROMs recently. We can add support for them very quickly on demand. If you're interested in VersaTuner for a Gen1 FWD 2.3 Turbo CX-7 let us know. We will build support for it in about 5 days from when we receive your ROM ID.

[Steve@VersaTune]

Thanks for the offer.

Ugnius is fully fluent in Russian (and other European languages). We even have a Russian language support section on our user forum.

[Pedal-Force]

Hopefully you get the Gen2 CX-7 soon. Just bought one today for the fiance. Wouldn't mind tuning it a bit.

[Zealotki11er]

Is there any table that improve eco while leaving top end power up?

[Steve@VersaTune]

Since most performance tunes bump the timing a bit and lean AFRs, you will get better fuel economy as long as you keep your foot out of it.

For those that can't resist mashing the pedal, a purpose built econ tune can be made.

[rodney5579]

I need the second gen. I would like this so I could use it for dyno tuning with a HKS Cx7 Super Suction Intake Kit and cpe catback. You will be able to adjust boost pressure? Also can I the originall tune to change back to incase of warranty problems?
