Has anyone done a conversion to trick the chevy volt into thinking its a ELR? Part swap or tune? to get that extra torque and Kw from the motor.

I believe later ELRs have some hardware differences to handle that extra torque. Something to bear in mind for potential "tuners"

Sort of, there is a tune that gives more power in mountain mode, but it only comes close to a a 2014 elr.

The other components like battery capacity are controlled by a separate ev canbus on a separate obdii

No one has programmed the EV side yet just the gas.

1. Buy an ELR and a Volt.
2. Strip the engine, battery, control modules, etc. from both cars.
3. Install the ELR engine, battery, etc. into the Volt.

I don't think that URL is correct.

a user here reported a tune from Waitforme Performance, but they all but disappeared. Actually not even all but. They disappeared.

I just got in contact with Jesse from wait4me Performance. Has anyone experience working with him? I want to go fast and not be on fire. He says it won't void warranty, but I'm not sure. If Replaced the ECM, flashed it tune. then replaced it if someone gets wrong with old Ecm would that make the car appear stock?

I've tried reaching out to him and never got a reply, so I never made it that far. It's worth a shot.

Anyone I can talk to about how that tune?

 

[colchiro]

My understanding is they decided not to support 2013 and over.

Yes, flashing the PCM will void the warranty. There is a flash counter in the software. The miles won't match up if you swap PCMs.
