2016--2020 Buick Encore (8th VIN digit "M") - 1.4L Turbo (LE2) - Advantage

TRIFECTA is pleased to announce the Buick Encore / Encore Sport Touring MY2016--2020 vehicle software recalibration (reflash) for vehicles utilizing the 1.4L turbo (LE2) engine with either the 6 speed automatic transmission (6T40 / RPO:MNH). Specific gains over factory calibration are up to (uncorrected) 97lb-ft of torque and 59 horsepower, with peak gains showing at up to 74lb-ft of torque and 51 horsepower, with no vehicle modifications beyond the calibration.
The TRIFECTA Powertrain Calibration for the Buick Encore Sport Touring MY2016--2020 includes a TRIFECTA EZ Flash Cable (TFEZ010U).
 
Specifications of the TRIFECTA Performance Buick Encore Sport Touring MY2016--2020 1.4L turbo LE2 ECM software reprogramming:
Gains of up to +97 ft-lbs and +59 WHP under the curve (and +74 ft-lbs and +51 WHP peak) on 92 octane Powertrain calibration has been tested and validated for various environments, such as cold/heat, elevation, and variations in fuel quality Power feels linear and immediately responsive (improved drivability and throttle attentiveness) 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  
Specifications of the TRIFECTA Performance Buick Encore Sport Touring MY2016--2020 6T40 (Gen 3) 6-Speed automatic transmission TCM calibration software reprogramming:
Supplementary 6T40 Gen 3 (autostop capable) transmission TCM reprogramming compliments the ECM reprogramming and completes the TRIFECTA Powertrain Calibration: designed to work in unison with the ECM reprogramming for optimized performance Improved shift times in adverse shift patterns Improved shift logic (improved drivability) 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 fuel economy with improvements made to torque converter slip profiles Retains all factory drive modes: Drive, “L quadrant”  
Supplementary Featureset of the TRIFECTA Performance Buick Encore / Encore Sport Touring MY2016--2020 powertrain calibration software reprogramming:
 
TRIFECTA PASM (Performance Auto Stop Mode):
When the cruise control subsystem is armed (via the steering wheel button), auto-stop works normally, just as it did from the factory. When the cruise control subsystem is disarmed, auto-stop events are re-calibrated with sport and performance strictly in mind (available only with vehicles equipped with cruise control from the factory).
Furthermore, the feature can be enabled and disabled at any time. For example:
If the vehicle is auto-stopped, switching the cruise control subsystem off causes the engine to restart immediately.
If the engine is running because no auto-stop event could occur due to the cruise control system being disabled, enabling it will cause the engine to stop immediately, provided all of the other auto-stop criteria above is met as well.
 
TRIFECTA DSVM (Driver Selectable Vehicle Modes):
Modify driving profiles based on the cruise control enable setting (vehicles equipped with cruise control only) Cruise Control ON (armed) = Vehicle responds to pedal input and shift logic similar to factory programming Cruise Control OFF (disarmed / TRIFECTA mode) = Vehicle responds more aggressively to throttle input, shifts are optimized for performance* * Fuel economy in TRIFECTA mode was observed to be similar to original factory fuel economy figures assuming “regular” driving style is adhered to.  
TRIFECTA Advanced Zoned Knock Control Algorithm:
Customized operating system enhancements allow for zoning of knock adaptation factors to provide superior dynamic knock detection and control. Allows for operation with improved power profiles under factory-specified minimum fuel requirements (“87 octane” – see owner's manual for full details) as well as fully optimized power with higher octane fuels.
 
Installation Notes:
Estimated installation time of ~20 minutes Premium fuel is recommended for maximum power output, but not required 1.4L turbo LE2 dyno (on 92 octane pump gas) (this vehicle is a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze with the 1.4L turbo LE2 engine) - stock wheels/tires:

 
Additional information and availability:
This powertrain calibration includes a TRIFECTA powertrain calibration file specific to your vehicle and includes an EZ Flash Cable (TFEZ010U) Powertrain calibrations currently exist for North American vehicles only, with more regions to follow 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!
