so many choices and diffrent prices..just dunno what to pick... well i only have off on weekends so i doubt most shops are closed due to bunch of clubloose events and just to have a sat off i guess.. i just want a basic tune on a dyno ...i relly dont wanna pay n arm n a leg as well....

evomike · 07-07-2009, 06:56 PM

seriously dont cheap out on tuning like so many people tend to, you will end up with a car that runs like garbage. pay the money get good management and a good tune, a good tune is cheaper than another motor.

Steve is tuning my ****. i'll let you know how that goes. And the value of a tune all depends on your set up. What are you running??

I'm running at S13 SR20DET with a huge FMIC, intake, full exhaust, T-28 turbo, Z32 MAF and 555cc nismo injectors. A tune with this set-up will make a HUGE difference in performance.

just get steve aka smelly240 to do it. he has great prices and great tunes....he tunes my car and my boys old stolen 300 hp civic

+1 Hanna FTW!

Steve is a great guy to work with, if you want proper tuning and get it at a very good price pm him NOW, like right NOW!!!

GHost240SX · 07-09-2009, 01:54 AM

Alright. I know everyone here has given you suggestions on who to seek out for a tune. Well I will give you these kind words......**** ALL THEM OTHER TUNERS AND GO TO STEVE AKA SMELLY240. He JUST got done tuning my 240 and it RIPS. And by rips I dont just mean pulls hard or etc. It has a solid idle, drives incredibly smoother, and is extremely responsive. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with the results of your tune. He helped me source a new maf and ecu, and he also fixed my wiring. And while tuning he showed me everything he was doin and WHY. Hands down the best mod ever. This guy is simply the best and takes time to make sure you feel the same way.

haha true. but you give great prices, no bull****, do what you say you're gonna do. you've been doing my **** 3.5 years now and i've put about 60,000 miles on my car driving to and from west virginia with your **** and smoked my buddies 246 hp s13 with the same mods by using one of your tunes and no dyno. so i guess the product is proven

If Rom tuning is what you are going for.

Ecu gets chipped and then it goes straight on the dyno for tuning.

AkumaMotorsports · 07-12-2009, 11:36 AM

We would be happy to get you tuned as well. Feel free to PM me anytime and I can go over your set up and plans for the car.
