Sounds good...

 

what other good tuners do we have up this side?

 

We really don't. It's either fly someone in or drive out elsewhere...

 

How about April 5th or 6th?

 

I would be interested as well, depending on the date and final price.

 

Later in the month would be better for me; more time to get parts in/the car ready.

Alex, can you set up a list of who is *definitely* going to follow through? I'm a 100% if I can get my stuff in time...

 

Sure can,

1. Alny93R1
2. Rico007
3. GoodFellaFD3S Depending on date
4. NeedAgen3bad
5. FierceAlien- Depending on date
6. Maddslow- Your car will be running...
7. Izzy- from Mass.


I will contact Brain today to set a date.

 

I'm definitely interested depending on the date.

Holy shoot dogie what sup i havent spoke to you in a minute , familia is good thanks, Rafy still got hes car and the ecu but dont know if hes going to do the installed, and me i have the money to buy a ecu but still debating in wich one to buy lol, so how you like the microtech, im still debating i might go with the e8 from haltech dunno yet, but got the re motor in the engine bay hopefully you could come up this time,lol, later.

 

That's a pretty funny statement.

The Tri-state area is home to some very highly respected tuners.

It's even funnier that you guys are flying someone out to street tune your cars...

 

Agreed! +1 on that. Not a knock, just a fact. You've got Enzo and John up in the New York/Jersey area alone.

 

I know there are good tuners in NY and NJ, what it comes down to is preference and availabilty. I don't see any tuners post threads that they are available to tune 10 cars, otherwise it would be much easier. Believe me If I could of gotten a tuner up by me , it would of happened a year ago.

 

Thats because real tuning is not done on an assembly line. Its takes time go go through each car like it should be done prior to even starting. You'd be wiser to line up a private session with a local tuner.

 

Funny -- That's the very reason why I told Alex I needed several days because I'm not a "drive-thru" tuner.

That I'm aware of thats why we are in the middle of planning a week session.

 

So i went to Romar today and we could booked the dyno for 4-26-08. For those that are interested in the dyno, i dont mine getting a street tune but also would like to put it on the dyno and look at the real numbers.

 

Each car takes, what, 2-4 hours to tune? Do you do it from scratch, or pre-load a map with similar mods and work from there? I'm not a fan of the latter, which is why I never had any interest in the Kan tuning threads. I want the map to my setup to be 100% mine, built from the ground up.

 

Two to four hours is usual. Some can be a hair bit shorter and some can be much longer (the longest one I ever did was 9 hours).

I don't start from complete scratch as that's highly impractical and a waste of time (ex: why build ignition curves from scratch? there's no point whatsoever in that). I use a map from a vehicle, with similar hardware, as a basis to start as a time saver. However, the map is tuned around the individuality of the car itself so it does become "100% yours". I don't load a base map on, spend 30 minutes on it, then say 'you're done'. It's all very much done around the car itself as best as I can do it.

Brian how big of and issue is for you trying to tune my car with 0 miles on the motor? Specially while on boost .

 

Brian spent about 6 hours on my car. He took time to explain what he was doing, why he was doing it, and taught me how to make adjustments later on, if something changed. It did'nt seem like an assembly line to me....Dave

 

Heat Cycle the engine 3-4t times, change the oil and your fine. The whole break in period is bs, unless you have a "brand new" engine which nobody does.

 

Thanks Ernie, im glad to hear that i feel much better lol.

 

Amen to that....

I would never even consider trying to tune 10 cars at a time...

It takes me two day's to properly tune a car.
You'll need to have the car cold in order to tune the cold start and warmup.
