2016--2017 Chevrolet Malibu - 1.5L Turbo - Advantage
1.5L Turbo (RPO: LFV)
6 speed automatic
Detailed power gains (measured at the wheels, dynojet chassis dyno)
1.5L gains: up to +35 ft-lbs torque, +48 horsepower (peak gains of up to 14 ft-lbs torque, +38 horsepower) :
TRIFECTA presents: Chevrolet Malibu (1.5L) MY2016--2017 Powertrain Calibration Reprogramming (flash tune)
TRIFECTA is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the 2016--2017 Chevrolet Malibu vehicle software recalibration (reflash) for vehicles utilizing the 1.5L Turbo (RPO: LFV) with 6 speed automatic transmission (Delphi 6T40 / RPO:MNH). Specific gains over factory calibration are up to (uncorrected) 35lb-ft of torque and 48 horsepower with no vehicle modifications beyond the updated software calibration.
TRIFECTA's 2016--2017 Malibu recalibration is complimented by a fully developed 6-speed automatic transmission calibration to support the increased power delivery profile and to offer dramatically improved driving characteristics from everyday driving maneuvers. The complete powertrain calibration also includes ESC (Stabilitrak) program enhancements.
Specifications of the TRIFECTA Performance 2016--2017 Malibu ECM software reprogramming:
Fuel economy is improved (up to 39.5MPG highway observed / 1.5L), dependent on fuel grade and driving conditions Retains all GM OE diagnostics and ECM functionality Retains all OE error code reporting and functionality Emissions readiness checks are present; emissions compliant Maintains functionality of ABS and TC systems Knock detection mechanisms and OE engine knock detection sensitivity is retained Return to stock functionality included with EZ Flash cable and software Tested on all available grades of fuel (87, 89, 91, 92, and 93 octane).
Specifications of the TRIFECTA Performance 2016--2017 Malibu 6-Speed TCM calibration software reprogramming:
Improved shift times in adverse shift patterns Improved shift logic - shifts are progressive and purposeful Does not shorten transmission life or increase cooling requirements Retains all OE diagnostics and TCM functionality Retains all OE error code reporting and functionality
Improved driving character:
Vehicle responsiveness is improved: Vehicle responds more aptly to throttle input at low speeds, power delivery is more linear under performance situations Transmission shift strategies improved: Shift strategy is largely “factory” at light pedal positions to provide a familiar driving experience, but downshifts are much more progressive and purposeful at higher throttle conditions
Supplementary Featureset of the TRIFECTA Performance 2016--2017 Chevrolet Malibu powertrain calibration software reprogramming:
TRIFECTA's Performance Auto Stop Mode (PASM): Allows the driver to enable a performance-oriented auto-stop mode which, in most cases, inhibits auto-stop from enabling for improved performance character, when desired (triggered by the cruise control arming button) Improved knock detection and control strategies: Reduces incidents of knock when 87 octane fuel is used, or vehicle is operated in adverse environments
Installation Notes:
Estimated installation time of ~20 minutes Premium fuel is recommended for maximum power output, but not required
Additional information and availability:
This powertrain calibration includes a TRIFECTA powertrain calibration file specific to your vehicle and includes an EZ Flash Cable (TFEZ010U)
TRIFECTA Advantage:
If your vehicle is stock, or has certain modifications which "just work" and do not require tuning, you can simply plug and play with our TRIFECTA Advantage calibration. Advantage customers receive full customer support for as long as they own their vehicle. Custom tuning is not offered at this tier, and the price reflects it. It is a great entry level option if you want to get the most potential out of your vehicle with just one mod!
