New tune version 4.0 available!
- Thread starter danbfree
- Start date
I got my 4.0 tune last night and flashed it this morning. It is with traction control and aggressive throttle mapping.
First the bad news (for me). It has been raining for days and continues to rain. My stock Pilot Sport tires put up a heroic effort, but they can't work miracles.
Initial impressions - niiiiiieeeece. First change, I can easily get into mid 26 psi. Previously I'd be in mid-high 25s. But now at WOT in third, I rapidly get past 26. Maybe the aggressive throttle mapping piece. The traction control is definitely working - but much like my tires - won't work miracles. It is wet out and I'm now asking my tires to do even more than before. I skidded around a bit, but not as much as I would have without any TC.
I didn't have a ton of time to drive this morning. But one thing that I'm pretty sure of - they have messed with the revs/rev hang. And in a good way. 1-2 shift was much smoother than usual, even if I ran 1st gear up high and went into 2nd pretty hard. And across all gears shifts just seemed to smooth out (not from my clutch-work). Maybe just my imagination. Interested to hear if anyone else notices something similar. Didn't see that in their 4.0 notes.

That is fine I will pay for the HT option and do the refinement as well...so the HT option is all I need to pay for...the update to 4.0 would happen automatically with the refinement? Thanks for the response. I love my e30 tune I can only imagine how good it's going to be with this 4.0 update and the HT option. I am a huge fan of stratified and I'm a true believer now. The driveability is every bit as good as the power if not better it's ultra smooth and hard to believe it can be improved upon but it's awesome that it can be. I am going to get this refinement update and I may pay for another one too that way it's basically a custom tune...I wanna make sure the car is running as good as it can for the fuel and mods I'm running. There's room to play now I'm getting +2-+4 corrections across the board under WOT and my afr goes from low to mid 11s and it'll get as high as 11.7-11.8 very briefly sometimes but it's mostly in the lower 11s under wot. My OAR stays at -1.0 of course all indications show there's room for power. I can hit 26 psi as it sits. My e85 measures at 85% and that was during winter blend season (February) and my 93 seems healthy too there's room for safe power on the table no doubt. I'm pumped...I just gotta track down a thin walled 5/8" socket to install my new step colder ngks with so I can take some logs and get this under way.
I installed today,
My impressions on the 4.0 is it pulls a lot harder through all gears. Much more torque through the gears. Top end seems to be improved also. 5th is more improved. Go flat out in 6th and your at 120 in no time. Although I'm getting a large boost or throttle delay when going into 2nd between 3200rpm and 3600rpm with the throttle pinned, then just lets go. Maybe its the car relearning, I do not know. Anybody else experience this? Will call Stratified on Monday to inquire about this.
The car is definitely on another level. Worth it!

Just got my high torque file as part of the v4 update haven’t had a chance to run it yet but I noticed the file name still had v3.1 in it. I was wondering if they do the high torque refinement on the old version then make the final update v4? I will give them a call tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this?
My v4 update did not have 3.1 in the name. STRATIFIED Pump FT FiST V4.00.NEC.STC.AGR - Jason **** - Order #####
Even though I paid for a version update, that is a new order number. And based on filling out the form, it was basically paying the $25 for a revised flash tune. So probably follows the same process on their end. My money is on them just not naming the file correctly.

I am guessing mine may have been different since I order the high torque which requires a refinement log. They usually send me the form that you are referring to but this time they went straight into requesting logs. I still need to send in the post refinement logs so I am hoping that is when I will get the v4 update.

I'm curious what their turn around time is for just the update to an existing tune... they have great stuff at great prices so it's worth the wait, just curious if they are a little busy now with this new version out and I'm looking at like 4 full business days like my original tune...
I've ordered and received two updates this month (first one was due to new parts, second was for 4.0). First one was ordered May 1st and received may 7 (4 business days). The second one was ordered May 12th and received may 17th (4 business days).
So - for me at least this month - they have been right at four. So that would be my estimate for anyone ordering the same. My guess is that is the SLA they are trying to hold.
