is it expensive to tune with Utec?

 

are you asking if the UTEC system is expensive itself? Or if shops charge alot to do a utec tune?

Normal tunes from a shop are around $400-500 to tune. And you have to buy one first which you can probably find a used one for around $600. GL

If you want to tune yourself then go ahead, it's fairly basic to learn depending on how much you know/willing to learn about engines and unless you drive like an idiot and get on it all the time with a bad tune then of course you will blow your motor quickly.

 

Utec can be programmed by the end user, so technically you can tune it for free.

If you take it to a shop, most likely the shop will be hesitant to tune something through hyperterminal (and I don't blame them) so they may charge a bit more then they would if you had an ECU with a GUI (like the Utec should have). I remember when I was showing my mechanic my Utec interface he couldn't believe I went "cheap" on my engine managment after spending so much on the car!

 

~$400-500 is a good guess for a UTEC tune.

If you can get a baseline example tune from someone for the tuner to start with it will save you a lot of time and money. I know TurboXS has a few on their site.
