Well another update on my 2v6 experience. AutoX went well, new tires and the new software made a significant difference. Now only if I had experience the SVX would be a lot quicker, lol.
Now as for passanger feedback, my friend took his first ride in my pearl since the new software. He's been in it from 2v5 w/4EAT and 2v5 w/6MT. Last night we took the pearl out and he noticed a change in the power curve. I personally have noticed the tourque is almost always there now in 6th gear. I pass traffic up hill. Next step is to go over to the AWD Dyno shop and see how the new graphs look. I'm thinking of doing a tune with him and seeing if we can massage my baby to 200whp.

Yeah... I don't know... lol. I was going to go over to the shop and talk to him about what we could do to improve things. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to "tuning" and all the technical aspects of things like that. But I'm always open for ideas/tips.

I am about to reconnect my automatic air bypass valve. I had previously connected a manual valve into the line to cure the 5MT stall problem. Have users of Stage2 V 6 who have 5MT or 6MT notcied any stall problems? I know the new chip was supposed to adress this problem, but seeking user confirmation. Thanks.

I would like that confirmation as well. It seems likely that I found the cause of the mt stall and fixed it but since I don't have one it's just theory until you guys confirm it for me.

Actually you and guest24 may be the only svx's with manual transmissions that have 2v6. A lot of the manual transmission guys are on the economy side of the community not to mention I think there are more vanagons running around with 2v6 than svx's at this point.

Once I get my 5 speed swap done. I hope to get 2v6.

Does this mean you have plenty of $$ to put the manual transmission in your car and post up some "tuned" dyno plots? It will be exciting to see what your tuning skills can produce, given multiple hours on a DynaPac. 2v7 could be the breakthrough the SVX community is waiting for. Full documentation of your dyno runs would be appreciated.

I would've got some dyno plots for the V6 but the local AWD Dyno shut down. But the good ol butt dyno tells me the tourque curve is better but drops off quick at 6300. Peak pull feels like its at 5500-6000.

 Did you take my post to mean that there are thousands of vanagons running 2v6 rather than very few svx's running it? I'm not exactly sure how very low volume svx sales equates into a justification for me to pour more of my time and money into rapid product development. I believe the 2v6 software showcases what my tuning skills can produce through interative improvements resulting from months of my own road testing and the feedback provided by end users. If the ability to more acurately measure high flow air intakes up to twice the mass of stock, performance throttle enrichments, performance timing maps, performance fuel maps, improved compatability with manual transmissions, and the ability to run e85 all provided to a market that only purchases in volumes in the double digits isn't exciting I don't know what would do it. I'm always up for new ideas though. You tell me what you want and if enough people want it too to justify my investing my time and money into making it I'll do it. Quote:
