Tuned By Shawn

Hi Everyone,

Tuned By Shawn is a new company offering paid services for Adaptronic Modular ECUs. We have been involved with the Adaptronic Modular ECU since the beginning development of the engine management platform. We got the privilege to give our input/suggestions on certain aspects of the ecu platform. We continue to master all aspects of the Adaptronic Engine Management to provide the best support and value to our paid services.

A little bit about myself - Shawn Christenson - Coming from a technical back ground working for a telephone company as a Senior Repair Adviser for 7 years I have transitioned into the automotive world fairly easy. I have found many aspects relating to troubleshooting problems are handled in the exact same way. I truly enjoy helping customers and providing the best possible customer experience possible. I have also been a long time member on this forum - shawnm565 - which this forum was where I started learning about Mazda Rx7's many years ago!

Remote Tuning -

Some of you may be wondering about how the remote tuning process works and I will explain in depth how this process works-

1. Planning - If you are interested in getting your car tuned by me or build advice to get your car running I have a good amount of information to make this process go easily and successful. Please reach out to me and I will be happy to help you plan for getting your car started for the first time! We do require for remote tuning at a minimum a wideband integrated into the ECU via serial or internal and a fuel pressure sensor connected to the ecu.

2. Tools and tips for starting the tuning process - I have created a FAQ page on my website to help facilitate getting you and your PC ready for the remote tuning process - https://www.tunedbyshawn.com/pages/faq - I use TeamViewer to remote into your PC during parts of the tuning process ( I pay for this service and its free for you to use!), I also use google drive to share the large log files that are created during the tuning process. (google drive is a free service as well)

3. Verification - it is important you make sure everything is installed and ready to go before any of the tuning process is started. I find that individuals are very excited when they get close and not having everything ready to go actually causes more of a delay or wasted time / money. Also one key bit of advice before purchasing anything in general it is HIGHLY advised to get a compression test prior to the tuning process this will allow you to put your money where its needed.

4. Adaptronic First start assistance - This service is an hourly based service $65.00 per hour - When this product is purchased is when you are finally ready to start your car for the first time. I will remote into your PC using TeamViewer application and together we will setup your basemap, verify every sensor is working (note if we do find a sensor is not working generally the session is ended but your time is not wasted we start right back off where we left once the sensor is confirmed working), Check Fuel pressure, Confirm base timing, Check all 4 coils to make sure the L1, T1, L2, T2 are firing in the correct locations, setup the VE table for the car idling warm. Setting all the Safety features: Rev limit, Overboost, Fuel pressure drop, AFR Protection, EGT protection - Once we have completed this first hour which on average is all is needed for the car to be ready for its first maiden voyage!

5. Full Power Tunes - This services Ranges from $500.00 to $750.00 - This process does not start until the car is able to be started and driven for the first time - How this service works is in multiple stages - For the first drive I will have you start a log (Which is fully explained on my FAQ page) and drive your car essentially around the block with very light throttle. We try to keep the distance to a minimum just in case any issues may arise. You will email me that log - I will make changes to the ECU file and send you a new file that you will load onto the ECU (Which is fully explained on my FAQ page). The next file unless there was some major issues that need to be resolved will be a much longer 1+ hour log of you driving only in Vacuum (NO BOOST) - We will also set the rev limiter to what your engine builder wants for engines that need to be broken in. If you do not have a fresh engine we will just set the rev limit based on what has been done with the engine. (One really nice thing about this service is after 3-4 files on average the car will be ready to be drive for X amount of miles for your engine break in and then after you are finished we continue the process of tuning the car) Once the vacuum tuning is done 3-6 files on average we start getting into boost - This process is does rely on you to be able to follow the commands I give you to the T in order to make this process to go as safe as possible and so that that I can get good data. These logs are very short logs kind of like a dyno run - Here is an example of a log you will start your log and go from 2000rpms to rev limit at zero PSI - Once you hit rev limit you will stop the log and send me the file - If any safety cuts happen you will abort the run and send me the file so I can see what needs to be addressed. We do this process until wastegate pressure is reached. This can take 6-15 files on average. During that process we are making sure everything is functioning on the car and fix anything that may be found not working correctly - Most commonly individuals have a fuel system issue that needs to be resolved before the tuning process can be finished.

This service covers 30 tune files OR up to 6 hours on the dyno - Most individuals do a combination of both for the best results

6. Dyno Tuning - This can be done remotely or in person if you would like to fly me out - How the remote service works is I will remote into your PC via the TeamViewer application and communicate via text or voice chat depending on what is available. I will work with the dyno operator to get your car tuned for maximum power on the dyno. (This is by far the best way to get the best results for full power)

7. Onsite tuning - if you wish to have me tune your car in person I have access to a dyno facility here in Minnesota the rate is $95.00 per hour + my tuning services fees. Also if you wish to fly me out it is all expenses paid - travel, lodging, food + the tuning services - I also can come days prior to help finish up the car which would be an hourly rate based on what we are working on.
