Hey Guys,

We've been extremely busy here at BNR dealing with an EZFlash update that happened and some website issues that kept people from checking out, on top of all the normal day to day craziness, so I apologize for not seeing this thread or getting back to stanski1. Where did you email us at? I did have someone email us and I thought I replied to it, but will check my drafts folder as maybe it didn't send or I forgot to click send. I sent an email to Trifecta asking about a GB and have not heard back yet, but I will follow up shortly via phone call to Vince to see what he thinks. He may say wait for Black Friday as we usually do massive discounts on Black Friday anyway, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

As for the comments about a lack of response here equaling bad tune support, I will say that is one of the reasons we don't get on here as much as we'd like. People don't put their car in service mode like they're supposed to with push button start, and they freak out and call us. Their car battery dies in the middle of a flash, they call us. I deal with several of these scenarios on a daily basis- I was up on the phone with a Buick customer until 2AM this morning dealing with issues because he didn't follow directions and put the car in service mode. We don't work 9-5, we work all day every day to make sure everyone is up and running and no one has a bad experience.

I will update as soon as I hear back from Trifecta, hopefully today. :eek:ccasion14:

Ok I got the OK to do it from TF. The GB will work as follows-

20 people, 15% off. 35 people, 20% off.

Yeah 15% off the total price. So figure $395 for the tune+cable instead of $465

1.8s are fine, I'll have to ask Trifecta about the Encore.
No free cable this time, but 15% or 20% off then entire purchase. So instead of $465 for the package, you would get it for $372. Or just the tune, if that's what you want. The cable will be an optional add on.

We typically leave these open on our site for a week or so, so do you guys want to get more people before I create the deal on our site, or should we wait a bit longer?

Ok we will wait a bit longer before we kick it off. :)
Got permission from Trifecta to include the Encore in the GB. :)
It'll be one product page to order on for all orders, specific to the GB. I'll post a link in here when it goes live.
I haven't actually received the tune yet - hopefully it won't get delayed with the group buy, especially since I paid full price for it. They're Akita AK-85 18x7.5 with 235/45/18 Nexen tires. I don't have the blue car anymore, I've since upgraded :)

Your tune won't be delayed at all because of the GB. We're sending tunes as fast as Trifecta writes them.
You will be getting the Elite calibration at $252 + $120 for the cable (which makes this one **** of a deal!). There is no other programmer that has been released yet, but there is one in the works. For now you'll be using the RED cable to flash the calibrations.
GB is LIVE!

Cruzetalk Elite Group Buy

Will end on Saturday, so get in while you can!

Remember, this is an ELITE Calibration you are getting now, original price $588, you are saving $336 AND getting the latest TRIFECTA has to offer.

Awesome. I see your question about plugs, regap them to .028 if you see misfires under boost.
The minimum is 20 people, there is NO limit on how many we can sell. So even if you are not on the list, do not hesitate to buy it!

The cable will ship within a week or so usually, but keep in mind we won't ship anything until the GB is over (Saturday is when it's over) because if we don't meet the minimum (20), we will have to refund everyone and kill the deal.
Of course, but as of right now the counter is working accurately on the site. If you head over to the product page, you will see how many have sold.

Cruzetalk Elite Group Buy

So far 1 sold and the count is right.
Man I hope I get my bonus check this week...if not I'm screwed. And I was one of the early adopters too fml.

Question:
Would I be able to apply military discount to this as well.
No, sorry, it's already super discounted as is. You are welcome to use it on anything else you want on the site though.
Some of the features added to this new calibration include-


  • Extended testing of more than 100,000 miles with 100 hrs + of wide open throttle testing
  • Powertrain calibration has been tested and validated for various environments, such as cold/heat, elevation, and variations in fuel quality
  • Octane Adaptive construct enables multi-phased timing tables: Five distinct timing tables replace the OE GM implementation of high/low octane tables
  • Multi-dimensional Airflow Coefficient tables, adds air pressure bias and knock history overlay for enhanced accuracy in boost scenarios
  • Virtualized torque prediction coefficients recalculation model added
  • Airflow based commanded fuel ratio strategies added
  • Multi-stage knock sensor decay and recovery rate tables added
  • TRIFECTA ECP.MK2 (Hybrid Speed Density) support and constructs added

Any Octane is fine with these new tunes. Higher octane will mean higher power, but any octane will run fine. TF set up 5 different timing tables for all the different octanes, vs. the stock 2 (high or low)
