Is this a update on the existing tune or THE tune?

It's either the same tune in fancy package, or a slightly different tune being hyped as sliced bread

or a slightly different tune

The Chevrolet Sonic 1.8 TRIFECTA General Update increment: September 2014, is as the thread title says, an update to the calibration that supercedes and replaces any existing TRIFECTA calibrations issued previously for this vehicle type.

The featureset improvements and GM bug fixes are in addition to the power increase and existing featureset already included in the previous Chevrolet Sonic 1.8 TRIFECTA calibration.


We provide updates when they become available and validated to our customers when they are ready.

Thank you,

Andrew@TRIFECTA

It looks like a killer update. 20ft lbs is massive in an na 1.8 and that's on top of the improvement from the initial tune. I dint see how Hp wouldn't be improved as well.

Great job!

Contact the vendor you purchased the tune through, and generally these updates are free.

I just want to know how to load the dang thing!

Here's what I got:

Step 1:
I'm logged in to WOT site and when I click ezflash link, takes me to save as on my pc.
Step 2
Where's the user manual? Where's the instructions? I'm still at the "save as" on my PC.

FYI, I do have the TRTX file.

All fired up to do this but I ABSOLUTELY am following step by step. Which does not match what I'm seeing.

Incongruent, non articulate info kills me . . . AND I'm a dumb ass and have never done this before. As soon as something doesn't match I stop.


a. Please use this as-yet-unreleased version of EZ-flash to flash the TRTX file you have been issued: www…ezflash.exe
b. You will be required to register on their site before you download.
c. You must be logged in to WOT-Tuning.com (Trifecta’s website) in order for the above link to function, as well as to download the tune.
d. You will also find your EZ flash user manual and data logging features here (please see notes from Trifecta regarding emissions at the bottom of this email)
2. After downloading the software, tune your car using the instructions found in the EZ flash user manual.

Bummed a bit I'll get there I know.

Tuned! Thank you Eric.
Getting a pulsing of the injectors when I floor it. Causes a stutter during acceleration from a standstill or on the freeway. I'll send a data log and see what they say.
