Jerry-Rigs Projects

Project cars, tuning development, diagnostics, modifications, and the lessons learned while making each setup work better.

Current & Future Builds

These project cards are designed to grow into full build pages with photos, CAD work, scan logs, dyno graphs, parts lists, and before-and-after results.

Development Car

2008 Chevrolet Malibu LS

A long-term LE5 2.4L development platform used for learning calibration, improving drivability, testing intake and exhaust changes, and planning a much more serious future version of the car.

Work includes HP Tuners scanning and calibration changes, MAF calibration development, fuel-trim analysis, deceleration behavior testing, exhaust development, and ongoing drivetrain planning.

Tuning Case Study

Document the Calibration Process

A useful tuning portfolio should show the starting condition, the issue being solved, the data used, the calibration areas changed, the final result, and any mechanical limits found during testing.
