View Full Version : Alternative Tuning Solution II

alright people, I'm going to try to get Dom from getadomtune.com down here again but I need your help. Dom used to live here for a few years and beta tested the hydra before it was public. I need 6 or more people that wants to have their car road tuned. So far we have 3 people already on the list. The last time we did this it was a great success with everyone happy in the end (subaru and mitsubishi). Drivability and safety is Dom's goal. At the present moment there is no date set since I'm waiting for my parts to arrive and to see how much interest there is. I hope to have this tune mid to late Feb but things could change based on Dom's schedule and if my parts are here :D. The more people the cheaper it'll be per person but only so many people can be tuned in the 3 days. The cost is dependent on the divided plane cost and tune per person. The cars will be tuned via OPEN SOURCE (unless you have different EM already). If you do have existing EM already I'd have to ask the tuner if he is able to tune it first before confirming your spot.

What is the advantage of open source tuning compared to AP tuners like Jarrad, COBB, etc? Is there more access to what you can manipulate or change using open source tuning?

iNfEk
01-21-2009, 01:41 PM
Yup, he can tune hydra but i'm not sure if he'll be bringing what is needed to do so when he comes down here... I can ask though... How much you willing to pay for my engine?

Jose, no date but I'll add you... Slow process to get my parts :(

Hey Jon if you can ask him I would really appreciate it. I'm looking into putting a Hydra into the Alltrac Celica.

Ok we are shooting for March 6-8 to be tuning. Dom, will be here at 4:30pm on the 5th and leave on the 9th. I will contact those on the list to give them the cost of the tune and where they can send their deposit money too. I'm hoping my turbo and injectors will be here by this time. This all dependant on my tax return. LOL.

iNfEk
02-06-2009, 12:47 PM
Sorry, we don't have enough time for the hyrda for the alltrac. Right now we have 6 possibly 7 people for this tune. I'm über excited to get this going

iNfEk
02-06-2009, 12:49 PM
Jes, Dom hasn't tuned an EVO X yet. So this may not be possible.

So that things are clear... AccessPort V2 or OpenSource are the EMs that are being tuned?

Jon

iNfEk
02-07-2009, 03:08 AM
Pat (pimpsawse) you gonna tune with us? I need to get a definite yes or no since it'll determine tuning costs

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say that we're an authorized COBB Tuner so all your Subaru APv1and 2's are good to go.

I haven't tuned any evo X's yet, but I can get a few great maps from a reputable tuner friend of mine to give us a good starting point.

I have 3 deposits so far.

Look forward to coming out and seeing everyone. I wanna get some shrimp from the truck! We should have ourselves a drive.

Need to fill islandboy78's spot so we have 7 people and more are welcome if you're serious

Krang
02-18-2009, 03:21 PM
I'm at a loss, and cannot decide if I want to ditch the APv1 and just go opensource or keep it for the rare time that I see the glint in the valet guys eye that makes me want to put my valet map in... descisions descisions....

iNfEk
02-18-2009, 03:30 PM
well I used to use that feature a lot for securing my car. I've NEVER valeted my car and probably won't unless I absolutely need too. It did serve it's purpose that time I brought it to the shop :)

Up to you

Hey, we have to make money too you know! That's one reason i cant tune, no one valets! :yell: :lol:

iNfEk
02-18-2009, 07:51 PM
I don't valet because certain valets take advantage of driving other peoples cars and won't be accountable

02-18-2009, 07:57 PM

Yeah, I know. I hate those little kids working valet at some places now days giving a bad name to the rest of us. Like NO ONE wants to valet now days.

iNfEk
02-19-2009, 02:31 PM
where do you work joey..? If I go there and you're working, I'll valet with you :D

- I haven't been PM'd by anyone else with regards to the deposits. Those listed on the first page are on this tune need to have the deposits submitted to Dom by the 28th of this month. So far he's only gotten 3 deposits. When sending the deposit in please include your mods that you'll have for the tune so that Dom will know what he's tuning before he gets here.

Thanks,

Jon

everyone else please make sure that I have your number. I'll be working things out with Dom tomorrow with regards how we are doing the tuning slots. Please be available.

Also, there is a spot or two open still so if you're interested we'd love to have you... It just makes things cheaper for all of us :D
