Also, I agree with RCZ with this Issue. It seems to be that they didnt expect there to be a glitch with the tuning software considering they had been using the software on every car they tested successfully.
This was a surprise and apparently it was a big eye opener.
I'm a Nuclear Engineer myself and I could not even figure it out. I had my assumptions, but not the tools they did to get "at" the problem. Who would have expected an error from the Factory itself on, oh, say line 1,347 of 10,000 lines of code when there should have been a Zero there was a One. As complex as these cars are nowadays and the computer trying to control EVERYTHING, I'm amazed Uprev even found it. It took all 3 of them to watch the car, dyno, output reports (Computer) all at once to catch it.
My assumption is WE are going to be the last of the great combustion engines with enhanced power like this. The Government is tightning down every year. Heck, I'm sure in a few years some Yahoo will outlaw the combustion engine just because its screwing up his flowers in the Garden, turn it into Law and we are all driving electric, or Hydrogen Electric. The cars will then be more complex and no room in the ECU to work a Supercharger or the engine compartment. Well, the JUKE was in the showroom today, a bold statement for cramming a lot of power into a small space. Has a 1.6 Liter engine, I think, with a Turbo attached!
