go to the right guy the first time, that'll save you some money right there.

Mase is pretty reasonable with pricing when it's something like a dyno day. fly him in just for one car and yeah it'll cost you

 

I'm running the AEM EMS.

$0 for the tune (self tuned)

The dyno time for a half day on a load bearing dyno and then follow up runs on a dynojet was probably $300

Total tuning time was probably a few days (starting when I was NA with the EMS and then through my various turbo setups), but the best part was the half day on the dyno. The dyno time really honed in some of the boost control, timing, and fueling. The other tuning time just helped set things like cold start, easy fueling and ignition, and trial runs of various boost comp methods for drivability. I currently use boost comp everywhere (including low load and part throttle) without a throttle mod. This seemed to provide the best drivability, easier tuning, and more control/granularity over fueling.

Keep in mind, I started working on carb tuning 15 years ago and then moved into basic EFI tuning 10 years ago. In college, I installed and dyno tuned a standalone fuel injection system (TEC3) onto a formerly carbureted snowmobile engine. After college, I took EFI 101 and EFI advanced, tuned both of my personal turbo setups, and tuned a few friends' cars.

Anyone with an emanage ultimate ready to chime in!!!

 

all my tunes were with the greddy ultimate. My tune on the 31st is for the Aem ems. My first tuned also included the install of the ultimate and Injecters. The second tune included the install of the greddy pressure sensor.

 

same here, I did everything on my CRX myself. spent some time just driving around and logging things to get the a/f ratio smoothed out and cold start stuff right. then went to the dyno to tweak the a/f ratio and timing and get the most safe power. the dynojet I go to normally is STP down here in florida and it's $70 and hour. they let us run the dyno which is pretty cool, they strap down the car and leave you alone till you're done. I only spent an hour on my car on the dyno since it was in the ball park when I got there.

 

200 bucks..

EDIT: just to add.... he came to my house, street tuned first.. then took it to the dyno the next day... this was on the AEM EMS 1052U.

 

I spent 250 for EMU tuning. Car has run great so far!

 

i have spent almost 3000$$ in tuning....now this is all the tunes total i have had, including failed tunes by some of my local shops

 

ouch! that does bring up a good point though. the more you change your setup the more you'll have to get tuned, the more it'll cost you.

 

How was the tune? Did it run flawlessly or did you still hav some issues?
