I wana get my A/T tc tuned
does anyone know a good place they recommend here in Los Angeles?
and its my first time so im not sure but someone said
i might need a computer because i cant do it with the stock computer
just asking dont know???

 

dude there a lot of tuner there search around like garden grove.

 

What do you have done to the car to need a tune?

And yes you will need either a piggyback ecu or a standalone ECU.

 

yes u need a piggyback like Nck06tC said. i went too Church automotive in Long Beach and got my turbo tuned. i'm not sure what setup you have, it would help if you told us . if you do go let me know i have too go back and get retuned.

nate.

P.S. if mightygnu reads this yes i know i keep saying i would go soon i just havent had the time but i really need too do it this time since im going too go track it at california speedway at the end of the month

sorry if i threadjacked

 

yup you are lucky as the rest of us in socal, we have shawn church, look up church automotive tuning or something like that..

 

are you turbo?

 

yeah, really no point in tuning unless your boosted.

you'll need a piggyback ecu like emanage blue or ultimate, aem f/ic or the apexi neo.

then you need a dynomometer and an experiened tuner who knows what he is doing to tune the fuel and the timing.

 

i have nothing big besides
headers
s-pipe
axle back
crank pulley
intake
torque damper

im just saying it needs a tune cuz i see other tune there car and all they have is
headers and intake

so i shouldnt then?
theres no point?

 

umm there is ABSOLUTELY no point for you to get a tune, a dyno would be nice just to see your gains though..

 

get a water pump and alternator pulley from NST and you should be fine but a tune would only get you like 7-10hp TOPS and your gonna spend alot of money on it when it's not really worth it but hey if you got the money and just want to throw it around for nothing then go for it.

 

I wouldnt get it tuned. You are talking nearly $1000 to add very little power!!

 

alrighty then that answered my question

OH

and about the the rest of the pulleys

I ORDERED THEM ALREADY like 2days ago

 

is the waterpump and alternator pulley really necessary ... all the power gain is from the underdrive crank pulley or no?

 

when you do all those mods exhasut, header intake ... does this cause your car to run lean or rich? Does it get affected to any substantial degree??

 

no, the maf sensor and the factory fuel map are able to adjust to the difference so long as you reset the ecu and let it idle for 15 min to get used to the new intake.

 

Wait a minute i didnt know that i had to reset the ecu
and how do you do that? and how so you let it idle for 15min?

 

disconnect ur negative battery terminal, and let it sit for five minutes (maybe more to be safe), then reconnect and let car idle for 15 minutes before driving the car

 

or you can drive it for days without resetting and the ecu will relearn and adjust to your setup

 

if your get the water and alt, it's also shaving the rotation weight off..

 

well ive been driving it for months now

so most likely its gooooood now right?
