Trifecta has stopped supporting the 2.2 and 2.4 Ecotec engine management enhancement.
There might be some stragglers out there on EBay but it's a long shot

Effective tuning alternative?

Given that the Trifecta tune is AWOL, are there any other proven tunes as an alternative?

I contacted Trifecta a while ago and this is what I got. They will still support the 2.2 and 2.4. They will still support any program they wrote.

Hello,

Thanks for the follow up. We do not. We no longer officially support the 2.2L and 2.4L platforms. Meaning, the packages are no longer specifically available to be sold via the store. We can still decide to tune a setup like this at our own discretion. We sould need to have details on the build and then I'd pass this along to the engineers and they would decide if they want to take it on or not.

Thanks,
Michael

Interesting ...

Last time I checked with Michael he told me they could at their discretion do a tune for a 2.2L auto stock.

I tried to contact him back several times for more details but could never get an answer while messaging on their web site.
I finally just gave up.
That was about 9 months ago.

Yep, ergo , they aren't interested and no longer support the Ecotec 2.2 or 2.4. It's their discretion. Good luck getting them to work with you!

Somebody said it has something to do with the copyright on the TCM; if I remember the last discussion on the subject right. Seems like it comes up monthly. "trifecta" search returned 500 results.

So back to my question - are there any alternatives as good as the defunct Trifecta for my 2.4?
Thanks!

HP tuners supports most years of both. It's just a matter of finding someone that knows how to tune them.

You might want to make contact about this:

He might know something germane.
