anyone heard anything good about the tuner there? im thinking of getting them to tune my UTEC. thanks for any good/bad info

 

I am a customer of XS engineering. I am an extremely picky person when it comes to my car, and XS satisfied me completely. I have nothing but good thing to say about them.

Eric is a very experienced tuner there, not to mention they have a 4WD Dynamic Test System chassis dyno in house.

Overall, they are highly recommended.

I am not in anyway associated with XS, I am just one of their happy customer.

 

i just called them, and they said 40 dollar strap on fee,thn 200 dollars an hour. that seems knda steep to me. is that what they charged you? 3 hours of dyno tuning the UTEC plus 40 dolars strap on fee is 640.oo

 

They charged me $200 per hour, I think they charged me $75 to strap my car on, don't remember exactly anymore.

They are not cheap, but my theory is, I rather pay top dollars for the best quality tuning and parts installation then to have stuff done at a cheaper lower quality shop that will cause the car to have lots of problems later on. Not to mention a bad dyno tuning can cause the engine to blow up.

If you can find a shop with the same quality for less money, please post it up. Saving money is always a good thing.

I have never heard of XS ruining people's car, but lots of horror story of other shop blowing up or destorying customer's car.........

Just remember, you get what you pay for is true most of the time.

 

yah i think i'll just run the stage map off the tXs stage2 till i go to stage 4 then i will get them to tune it for me. cause 600 plus dollars to squeeze mayb 10 extra whp isnt really worth it for only stage2. thanks for the info thou. there 5 minute from my house. so maybe i'll just stop by and check em out

 

by the way what have you had done? and what was the dyno stats of yer set up? thanks alot

 

on average 2-3 hours

 

Actually I don't have a WRX. I drive a Skyline GTR right now and XS had done work on the GTR for me.

I am thinking about getting a WRX STi in the future, that is why I am here.

You are welcome about the infos, we are all in the same boat

 

skyline drooooooooooooooooooool! when do i get a ride hehe. what kinda hp is it pushing out?

 

haha........the Skyline is really not that big of a deal.

My GTR is only pushing out 359 HP at all 4 wheels on XS's 4WD dyno. Not very exciting yet.

I am really interested in the WRX STi right now. I assume you have a WRX? What kind of mods do you have?

 

yeah its just my dream car! haha... is it white? i saw a white one like a couple weeks ago in the costa mesa/fountain valley area. yeah ive only had my wrx for about 2 months, so not too much done yet. i got some rare volk rims, jic coilovers and i have half a stage 2 kit in my room and still waiting on the other half (UTEC) u still have somenice whp going on in that bad boy thou.

 

the white skyline you saw was a r34 it belongs to motorex and is for sale for way to much money plus it is not in the greatest shape [i saw it in h.b. one night parked ]

now what i find funny on there web site it only has 750 miles?
