Chevrolet Cr8 (Pontiac G8 GXP)

Post by MarioSS »

Hello guys

I am planning to purchase a Diablosport Trinity. But i am worried about 1 thing.
The middle eastern Pontiac G8 GXP is sold under the name Chevrolet CR8 CSV, and its equipped with the LS2 6.0l Engine, 411 hp, and a manual 6spd transmition.

My question is will i be able to use the GXP tunes on the CR8? Have anyone tried it before that lives in the Middle East?

Thanks all for your time and support
Regards

Edit: sorry wrong thread :/

Thanks for your reply mikel!
So would the Chevrolet cr8 be included in the tuner tunes directly or I should select select the Pontiac g8 gxp when tuning?

Thanks for your time and assistance

Hey Mikel

My Diablosport Trinity arrived today. And while i was checking the vehicle types in the menu under Chevrolet i didn't find my car listed in there (Chevrolet CR8 CSV). I even tried looking for Holden as a car manufacturer and it didn't exist in the menu. Lastly i checked Pontiac and under the GXP its only showing the LS4 6.2l Engine (my engine is the 6.0 LS2 411hp Manual Transmition).

Looking forward to hear from ASAP.
Thank you :roll:

it wont be listed, pick 09 GXP, or 08 Vette, or 2011 Silverado, all goes to the same place.

So the displacement and engine codes doesn't matter i guess? do they all share the same ECU and sensors?
From your experience which on suits my car best with zero margin of error

Hey Mikel

After Backing up my original ECU tune. And Copying it to my PC.
When i try to modify my tune. Trinity says:
Trinity was able to read a bakcup. you will need to export the backup using DSdownloader and call (866) 396-6614 x1.
When i click continue Trinity reboots.
When i try calling that number am getting no longer in service. International code 001 866 396 6614

looking forward to hear from you ASAP

Edit: I attached the Original Backup ECU tune. That i pulled from trinity using DSDownloader

no problem, I was expecting this, since we dont see these cars here.

Give me a few days to get tunes made for you and get a new update built, then we'll have you going in no time.

Thanks

this is actually going to require a new template, sorry I made it sound easier than it turned out to be, but we'll get it sooner than later.
