Re: Need Washington tuner (Turbo Edit) !!!!!!!!!!!
I've been having wierdfuk wideband logging problems... then wierdfuk datalogging cable problems... then wierdfuk can't-get-ostrich-to-work-with-datalogging cable problems. For the last four months all I've done is hold the WB display, look at vac/boost/rpms, and get jiggy with it.
Takes about four times as long, doesn't it?

Re: Need Washington tuner (Turbo Edit) !!!!!!!!!!!
Just buy the gear and do it yourself.I had never tuned any kind of engine management before and I got the Turbo Edit figured out.Just make little changes one thing at a time and watch the results.Ill admit it was probably not a max power tune but the car ran well and made good power so ---- it.Once you get all the gear you can help others and make money back that way.I just wish I could solder/de solder well enough to chip them myself.

I charge twice that, because it's never just a tune. I always get into re-sorting the vehicle. And that's dirt cheap.

i guess in the end it will only allow me and him "if we buy everything" to help other whod be in the same boat as us, ---- i think on every single ecu job for the 4 motors ive had in my rex, thats been the hold up.

Re: Need Washington tuner (Turbo Edit) !!!!!!!!!!!
If the car is correctly sorted, and a familiar configuration so I have a handy basemap that only needs a mild revision, and your ECU is already socketed, $70 would be a fair price for an easy street tune.
I always end up with the problem vehicles, wierd setups no one's ever heard of, and problems. Did I mention the problems? I rolled up on Trav-***' doorstep to tune the $25K '94 Pigtegra LS of Fury Saturday, and twelve hours later we had it put back together and running on his old tune, ready to hook up my gear and get started. I could be like most tuenars, and send the guy away, but all he's going to do is mis-install something or get someone who claims to know all about it to royally ---- everything up. If I'm going to tune a vehicle, it needs to be right, because I'm putting my name on it. I could be like Mase and knock out seven-eight vehicles in one day, sending some of the guys away, or I can wrench on and tune one a day. You also need some serious road time to get some areas of the part throttle maps perfect so the car really cranks out the mpg and doesn't have odd little stutters... hard to do that with 7-8 cars a day unless you're letting closed loop mask your laziness.
Takes twice to three times as long to get part throttle nailled as it does to tune to 18 psi... again, if you have a familiar setup (D16, DSM 450cc, T3 or 14b, etc) you can take a close basemap from, the part throttle and idle barely changes, but under boost VE roams around depending on system synamics. In that case, it takes longer to tune under boost, and you still aren't spending a lot of time on the vehicle. The fact 1001 lamers cruise around on bbka's map with success show how close things are... he runs a bit bigger turbo so the average guy runs a little safe rich.
Okay, babbling, that third cup of coffee was a bad idea.
