OUTGROWN ***HEX Tuning for F87 ///M2 ECU VF Engineering
My hardware has surpassed the capabilities of the VF Engineering stage 2 hex tune.
I already asked them to transfer the cable to work with my e46 M3. Denied. What the hell am I supposed to do with this unusable cable and tune now? Did I literally waste $800 (or whatever I paid) on a product that I used maybe 50 times? And I can't use it for anything else, unless I downgrade my car? |

I'll list the 2 pieces that won't work with VF-E hex tune for you: 1) TTFS/XDI fuel pump which requires an a special tuning parameter just to start the engine becuase of a signaling difference as compared to the stock HPFP 2) Pure Stage 2 turbo, which uses completely different wheels And although my 3) precision raceworks ignition coil set would function, it cannot be taken full advantage of, unless it's specifically tuned for. ***My point is that the hex tuning product line for F87 M2 hits a ceiling. I can't use it anymore. I can't sell it. So it's worthless to me now, and that sucks. |

Seems like a lot of R&D costs for a fringe of the market. They built a product for a specific purpose, and it seemed to fill that role. They aren't obligated to spend tens of thousands of dollars in an effort to appease a very small percentage of the market. Thats just bad business. How many tunes did you go through before you got to Hex? Did you expect it to just infinitely scale to Stage "N" ?

VF could pick the most popular upgrade turbo, pure stage 2. They're already done the costly part of R&D. They would just need to make a new and safe tune for that setup. And their hex tune for the OG M2 is exactly what you you said it is not; an investment of "tens of thousands of dollars in an effort to appease a very small percentage of the market". The hex tune was the first and only tune I ran in my M2. Now I have MHD to support my hardware, and will get a custom tune soon to follow. |
