2018--2020 GMC Terrain - 2.0L Turbo - Advantage

(5 reviews)
$529.00
TRIFECTA 2018+ GMC Terrtain
2.0L Turbo
9-speed automatic
Detailed power gains (measured at the wheels, dynojet chassis dyno)
Gains "under the curve" of up to +53 ft-lbs torque, +47 horsepower (peak vs peak gains of up to 43 ft-lbs torque, +27 horsepower)
TRIFECTA's 2018+ Terrain recalibration is complimented by a fully developed 9-speed automatic transmission calibration to support the increased power delivery profile and to offer dramatically improved driving characteristics for everyday driving maneuvers. The complete powertrain calibration also includes ESC (Stabilitrak) program enhancements.
 
Specifications of the TRIFECTA Performance 2018+ Terrain ECM software reprogramming:
Fuel economy is improved 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 2018+ Terrain 9-speed automatic transmission TCM calibration software reprogramming:
"T87A" 9-speed automatic transmission controller does not need to be removed from the vehicle or "unlocked" 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  
Supplementary Featureset of the TRIFECTA Performance 2018+ GMC Terrtain powertrain calibration software reprogramming:
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 observed in TRIFECTA mode was observed to be similar to original factory fuel economy figures assuming “regular” driving style is adhered to
  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 are met as well.

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) Advertised gains are quoted as 'up to' and may be less for a vehicle operated at altitudes higher than near sea level.  
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 "canned" tune. 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!

  • 17 Digit Vehicle Identification Number.

    Must be exactly 17 digits, 9th digit must be 0--9 or 'X', and cannot contain characters 'I', 'O', or 'Q'.

    We recommend acquiring the VIN directly from the vehicle's VIN Plaque on the dash, or the certification label in the door jamb since insurance and service documents are sometimes incorrect.

  • Please contact support prior to purchasing if you have any questions: Contact Us

  • Support is not officially provided for aftermarket hardware with this calibration, however many hardware components which would normally work without any specific adjustment on the factory calibration may be automatically compatible.

    Examples include:

    -Most Exhaust components

    -Recirculated turbo bypass valves

    -Most brand name intakes (ONLY with any included resonator/venturi designed to prevent the intake from setting any DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

    If you are not sure whether your hardware is compatible with TRIFECTA Advantage, please Contact Us for assistance!

A must buy for this car, it is simply a new beast. I have it paired with the GFB DV+ T9363 and it screams down the road. If you think the tune is good, (and it is, get it!), then top it off with the DV+ and it goes from good to perfect.

All I can say is wow! I have a 2020 GMC Terrain 2.0L Turbo. I first tried a Pedal Commander with a Thornton tuning chip. It felt great but after reading the reviews I decided to try a TRIFECTA tune. It is night and day! The car pulls way harder all the way to 90mph, only because I lifted (in "Mexico" of course), and the power is much smoother. If I knew then what I know now I would have just gone with the TRIFECTA tune. As a side note, the Pedal Commander will negatively impact the cars performance if you try it with the new tune. I tried it on multiple settings and when I took it off it was a noticeable difference.

These guys were also patient with all my questions and the customer service is top notch.

I'm now a true believer! Thanks TRIFECTA Performance!

Noticeable difference! Crazy how much more power and torque I received from this. This is how this car should have been from the factory, I also love the fact it removes the "start/stop" mode which drives me crazy that it cant be turned off without something like this tune! 10/10 worth it for the 2.0T 😎

I got this for my 2018 GMC terrain Denali AWD was immediately impressed with how it changed the vehicle. It has a lot more power and shifts a lot smoother. This is definitely  worth the money and you will certainly be pleased with the outcome. it Front wheel drive mode this car will spin tires for days, it will even break free sometimes in AWD too. I look forward to seeing more mods to come out of trifecta and eventually plan on installing a cold air intake as well.

I purchased this tune about one month after purchasing my 2020 GMC Terrain Denali. The initial tune had some issues getting it to flash to the ECM but the team at Trifecta worked diligently until we had a working tune. Once I flashed a good tune, the effects were very noticeable. Right away there was improved throttle response, acceleration, and torque. I live in Alaska and right now gas mileage is terrible regardless so I haven't even bothered to keep track of it. The increased performance made it worth it to me. Makes it much easier if passing someone or need a quick response from the engine. Prior to the tune there was a noticeable delay between input on the pedal and actual output from the engine. Now it is almost non-existent. I would highly recommend Trifecta Performance to anyone with anyone compatible vehicle! Absolutely amazing team that knows that they are doing!
