Welcome to the DFW G Club TIT (Tuning Interest Thread)

There has been a lot of talk lately about getting a group tune going. I'm trying to consolidate all the information in to one thread.

Tuning is required to get the most out of your performance mods. Through tuning you gain HP/TQ throughout your power band, your engine will run smoother, and even gain gas efficiency (when you are not driving it hard.) Even if you haven't done much to your car, performance can be improved upon by a good tuner. Tuning is not just for cars with a Turbo or Supercharger, there is a lot of power to be gained by tuning a car with just bolt ons. Also, its not just power you are gaining, if you look at before and after dynos you can see how much smoother the engine is running after a tune compared to before. Not to mention all the power under the curve that you gain. Just because your peak numbers don't change much doesn't mean much. With most tunes I've seen you gain massive amounts of power in the mid range which helps immensely during spirited driving.

Enter Steve Kan. We are fortunate enough to have a amazing tuner in the area. To give you an idea of how good he is, people fly him around the US/CAN to do group tunes. This guy has tuned just about everything including a 920 HP Twin Tubo Viper, a 700+ HP GTR, and of course a 600 HP 22PSI E85 Beast of a G35


Steve is opening a new shop in Lewisville in June, and I wanted to break in this shop with a massive group tune of G35s. He normally charges $450 NA / $550 FI for tunes, but has agreed to a tune us for $300 Each! (FI may be more)

now, he can tune just about anything but this was going to be oriented around using Uprev Osiris. I've been in contact with uprev to see what we could do about getting everyone a license for tuning. For this to go through we are basically going to be buying Steves Uprev shop tuning license. For everyone without a uprev license already, you will only have to pay $300 for him to have the ability to tune on your car with this software. So the total is only $600 for tune and license, You will NOT find a cheaper deal on this anywhere, especially for a tuner of this caliber. If you want to have your own cable so you can do datalogging and clearing codes you will need osiris standard which includes the license and the cable and is $500.

Shop location:


This thread was created to gauge interest so I'll start the list. Who, of you, will finally get your tune on?

UPDATE: for this to go through we need at least 7 people who will be purchasing a license through Steve and at least 10 total, The cost on these is $300 a Piece.
At this time I need deposits from everyone who needs a license. We can meet up in person or you can paypal me as a gift. I have to get this before we can get Steve to purchase the Uprev software.

WE NEED ONE MORE!!

also just add your name whenever you post...dont copy paste down the list. Let ROB keep a running total in the first thread since sometimes people are missed.

 

I know I just wanted to brag bout what I got. Lol give me a moment. That's all I have in life. Lmao

 

Put me down.

(WOOT WOOT for breaking 2000 posts!!!)

 

congrats brit!!!!! your getting on up there!

 

I would like to take advantage of the tuning deal but i am totally stock.

I have the revup motor with revup air box stock. What mods are best bang for the buck. I was thinking some sort of exhaust piping like HR pipe, HFC or Test pipes, Z-tube, K&N Air Filter. I am wanting to spend as little as possible and only get mods that will make a difference on the dyno and maximize my tune.

I am more interested in getting the tune to even out the powerband, efficiency(MPG), Clean up any ratio's out of line and maybe gain some power. I figure this deal is really good and the $200-$250 i save could easily go towards the Exhaust work. I hear best mods for power would be letting the exhaust breath freely and free up intake flow.

I am gonna throw a random number lets say $1800 total to spend on a tune, osiris + MODS (intake, exhaust...). What mods should i get it that price range. I figure if i do go with the tune it would be best to go up there with new spark plugs and filter versus a old used one.

 

Osiris - $500
Tune - $300
K&N Drop in - $50
Z-Tube - $50
Plenum Spacer -$200 ($150 used)
ART Pipes / HiFlow Cats - $550/$450 (less if used)
HR Y Pipe - $100 used

this is how I would spend my money if I was trying to make power. ART pipes will yield more power but they are more expensive and you will have bad gas fumes smell... I left test pipes off the list because I cant stand rasp. you could probably get some resonated test pipes for around $300...

you might also want to consider finding used highflow cats or resonated test pipes and put the rest of the money in to a full cat back exhaust.

 

I'm sure Phi will be in on this

 

Thanks man that is good input and will set me up to do some research on my end. What do you think about the Plenum spacer on the Revup motor without using the MREV. I feel like the best combo would be a sic exhaust and ztube/K&N. The spacer/mrev i will try to find a deal since it does claim gain in HP when using the combo. I will try to source most parts used that I can get my hands on in Mint condition.

true, for rev-up you need mrev-2... if you can find a non-rev lower plenum, I can do a Mrev mod on it for your for a lot cheaper than the cost a motordyne version.

 

Put me down. I never did get Osiris 3 weeks ago... I detoured into wheels/tires/lugs/hfcs/spacer/hella horn. Waiting to hear what the deal is gonna be with that.
