Been out of the game but want to do a few things now

[RaceThisLTZ]

Hey everybody was looking for some insight if you don't mind.

Bought my LTZ 1.4 6 speed back in OCT 2012. Installed a zzp intake and Trifecta tune shortly after. Now I have a few questions because things seamed to have changed quite a bit.

1. When I ordered my tune there was only two options. Canned tune or full tune. I have a full tune with selectable tunes between eco and sport w/free retunes for additional mods(not turbo upgrades ect.). Do I still have the ability for retunes for free for small upgrades like exhaust, injectors, and e85? I'm a little concerned I'm screwed at this point.

2. I don't know who to contact because I used to go through BNR for everything and they seam to have no affiliation with Trifecta anymore. I contacted them about this but haven't heard anything and don't expect any help I guess.

3. I would like to set the car up on e85 with a possible select a tune for 93 (this was an option I believe back then, don't know if it still is) OR possible a flex fuel sensor. So who is selling the 42lb injectors since bnr does not offer them anymore?

Again excuse my negligence as I have not paid much attention to the market for these cars until now ha ha. I'm thankful any help and guidance in advance.

I am assuming you have Trifecta? 90% sure that they are still supporting customers even though a lot of Sonic owners have seemed to move away from them. FYI I still have my Trifecta tune and have never been displeased with it even if there are more gains available with some other tunes.

You could try contacting them directly. They are a vendor on this site (WOT-Tuning) or you could see what they have available on their website for contacting/getting tune updates.

3. I would like to set the car up on e85 with a possible select a tune for 93 (this was an option I believe back then, don't know if it still is) OR possible a flex fuel sensor. So who is selling the 42lb injectors since bnr does not offer them anymore?

Injectors are available at BNR. Go here: Bad News Racing 1.4T #42LB Injectors

Or if you want to get a full Flex Fuel setup from them, go here: BNR Sonic 1.4T Flex Fuel Kit

Hope that helps!

Thank you for the Info. I actually contacted them and they already responded. The tune I have is equivalent to there now Elite. I also have had the their tune on my car for over 80000 miles with no issues.

They still can do the select a tune where the cruse control button will switch the tune. So a non cruse e85 tune will be possible, and with a cruse on will be a 93 octane tune. If wanted.

Thank you for the link to the injectors No idea why I could not find them.

I have had multiple cars in the past including My drag car run on ethanol and love the fuel. Very easy to make power and can be tuned to get decent fuel economy as well. Wont be changing all the time but nice as a just incase you cant find fuel.
