im not in any way calling anyone out...
i have no clue wich one of you guys are knowledgeable about opensource tuning therefore anyone running or using that on their cars i will bug with all the questions i have
hopefully someone can answer them for me and give me pointers to get me started in the right direction......

btw: is there anyone that does that proffesionaly in the sacramento area? like a tuner or someone taht knows what he's doing that would be able to help me out later when i need a custom tune?

 

any clue as to what numbers you're putting down? i've heard that the cobb maps are very mild, but the thing thats holding me back from getting an accessport is the price of them....if i find one cheap, ill get it..

 

moderate mods go to Paul@DBTuned, he will set you straight no problem.... ***** to the wall mods, Mike@GST


can't go wrong with either tuner



Paul's in Roseville off Taylor road


Mike is in Hayward

 

COBB maps suck *****, half of them are HORRIBLE. Gotta realize they are a 'generic' map, that is suppose to be tuned safe so that all cars that use the map make decent power and don't run like complete ***. Problem is all cars are COMPLETELY different and they need some tweaking. I have heard about some COBB maps pulling max timing and pinging like hell(i.e. ask Mr. Furley)

 

The cobb map is crappy & im not exactly sure of what im putting down, probably in the 250whp range which is the same as a stock Sti.

My best ET was a 12.90 so 250whp seems about right.

 

exactly..

you would be

good job.

Caught the dumz!!?!!?!?? lol...you OWN the dumz.

 

so he tune's opensource? nice...
i've seen some threads about dbtuned and all but wasnt sure they tuned...do they have a dyno?

basically for now ill be running a stage 1 map from my friend until i sell my 05 and have some money to drop on a turbo. im going to aim for something bigger like an 18g or something along those lines, but if that doesnt work ill just throw in a vf39. so paul would be able to tune my 07 WRX tr w/ i/tbe/sti tmic and vf39? that would be great......

 

oh, one other small question: does anyone know if 05 springs fit an 07? i have the tein s-techs on my 05 and wanted to just throw them in the 07 but am unsure if they'll fit...

 

what trap speed? just curious.....
and 250whp from a generic map doesnt sound all that bad but i see what people are saying: with a custom tune not only will i make better numbers, but it should be more reliable as well as much cheaper.....

 

I think i might have invented it

 

yes, he tunes. yes he has a dyno, and yes he can tun for the i/tbe/sti tmic/ VF39

:RockOn - not mine:

 

i dont think he can touch opensource tho

 

ya paul doesn't know computers that well, and he has only worked with Windows XP as far as I know. I don't think he will have much luck with open source

 

well maybe not because of that, but i dont think hes allowed to touch opensource per his contract with cobb... i remember somehting like that being mentioned in SRIC, but its probably been a while

 

hey midnitewrx02...


Please wave as the sarcasm plane flys over your head....
