no problem Mike. Yes, Michaels car does seem to stomp all over the corksport car especially in the area of torque. By the way,what are the actual j spec vris shift points suppost to be at?
My source has the KLZE VRIS points at (KL03 shown first):
The 3250 point maps to 4062.5
The 4250 point maps to 4781.25
The 6250 point maps to 6812.5
As well, the KLZE follows the "standard" VRIS activation we all know all the time, not just at WOT. For those who don't know, the KL03 will hold #1 open and #2 closed all the time whenever the RPM is over 500 and the throttle is less than about 2.6V. For the KL03, it's only at WOT that you see the 3250/4250/6250 pattern. The KLZE does it's pattern all the time.
Something else to consider. I've done some research into an old MX3 V6 PROM I have and think I have the VRIS points for the KL08 (the 1.8L V6 in the GS) as 3875/4656/6312. (
Note: I can't be absolutely sure about these points because some of the MX3 opcodes are unknown to me, so the code is fractured and I'm making best estimates because of this.)
Now, this is suspicous to me because I noted a post or two ago that the Corksport plots seemed to indicate that the switching points were
3750/4750/6450, which struck me as incorrect for the KLZE points I mention above. Notice how close my estimates from that dyno plot were to what I believe the true MX3 KL08 VRIS points -
3875/4656/6312 - are.
My conclusion: the KLZE that Corksport tested was likely run with a stock or slightly modified KL08 PCM, not a true KLZE PCM or calibration. They already admit that the car was strangled by the 1.8L exhaust, confirming that the car was at one time a KL08, so it's very likely in my eyes that they used the OEM PCM.
If indeed that's the case, and if Corksport is selling this calibration as a true KLZE upgrade (for $395 no less) then some people may have a case for accusing Corksport of false advertising if not something more serious. Fraud perhaps? Certainly, proof would lie in getting ones hands on a PCM "upgraded" by Corksport and examining the PROM contents.
