Engine problems.......

Have a 06 base model .......put a HP tune on it.......took all restrictions off but at 200 km/h engine shuts off and all communication ti computer stops...is there a safety on the car that is hard wired in it ..or am I missing something to turn off....no codes come up either
 


The car won't get the proper tune as the dyno won't give a true torque reading as the engine shuts down

Right now had to set at 180 for torque at 160 wheel horse power
 




My numbers are all wheel numbers not engine.....but like I commented on the dyno once my car hit 200 it completely shut down no codes
 
Wish I had these 15.4 seconds of my life back... the car shutdown at 200 because GP's start to fly at 201
 


So I take you've adjusted airflow and fueling and messed with timing tables to gain power and fuel economy. But now you are at the mercy of the car and what it can do, you dont need to go that fast.

Your NA is very limited with the power it can make and you might sneek out 200+ WHP with all the bigger mods such as cam, hv3 and so on. Its only going to be useful from 0-90 mph anything above that and it takes forever to reach such speeds.
 
20% fuel economy?

Give me a break.

You'll never get that just from a tune unless you put larger injectors in and don't adjust the tune for it.

If the person who tuned your car was paying attention, they'd see there are speed cutoffs in multiple places.

Takes but a minute to find them.

Much less than the time you spent in this thread.
