we shall see. I honestly do not know. Once my car is up and running, i think i may keep the V1 ostrich in the prelude and buy a demon for the tuning ecu. neptune just got live logging uploaded with the demon hardware so i bet calvin isnt too far back. He said he had some issues that were higher priority so i know he is working on that and the anti-theft.

Sounds like he's trying to catch up to neptune.

Yeah I got all that fixed it would of ran if I had put oem map sensor back on.

If you think I had a lot of shit mashed in there wait until the next Dyno Day.

I'll show up with a holset blowing into the supercharger into a larger intercooler through 3" piping to a 70mm tb matched to a z6 mani.
All on a z6/y8 vitara w/ eagle rods build. ;D

And with a lot more electronics packed in the engine bay and cockpit. ;D

Fly up here for the meet, and kick it with the crew that can actualy put a meet together and have more than 3 people show up.

WA is one hell of a two way flight price

d112crzy · « **Reply #47 on:** January 23, 2010, 01:38:54 AM »

Not really, unless you consider over $400-500 for a 2way expensive. That's about right for these times.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #48 on:** January 23, 2010, 02:24:26 AM »

Dude if you watch the prices you can pick up dealz from 200-250 to seatac. Its 284 to fly from pensacola fl. to setac right now.

I voted d on nog cause it's the closest to te I could find.

I've been on the fence about spending money w/Calvin. The license stuff has kept my money in my pocket. Finding solid answers has been a significant challenge. Keep in mind I've had personal tutorials from a couple of pgmfi's finest... However my knowledgeabilties of electronics n software is very limited.

If I make the jump to obd1 I'll probably end up using crome...

Same here. For me its between Neptune and eCtune. I really don't EVER want to deal with the bullshit mandatory updates, much less if there was ever anything that could be wrong with the updates. I could give a shit less how fast he fixes it, it shouldn't happen in the first place. Even if it only took a few hours to fix, that a lot of lost time when tuning a car. Time= money.

The only thing I wish Neptune offered is individual cylinder trim for ignition. It might not be a significant issue with boosted setups, but it makes quite a difference on NA setups. So I've heard from Blake anyways.

ryan89crx · « **Reply #55 on:** January 24, 2010, 07:08:36 PM »

I have a copy of Ectune, and really I don't use it often enough for the force updates to bother me. I just make sure if I'm going to be tuning, I run force update before I leave the house.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #56 on:** January 27, 2010, 10:09:01 PM »

so, after a couple recent tunes i have a couple comments.

i tuned with a hondata s300 yesterday and was kind of annoyed. its not very straight forward. seems to work well once you get used to where everything is, but i like the keyboard commands with crome a lot better. also, the car was over heating just cruising at 65-70 mph. needles to say, we didnt get much tuning done. i have tuned with s300's before, but i always came in to fix the owners horrible attempt at tuning themselves so i have never set it up from scratch. there was a lot of time wasted in just figuring it out.

saturday i tuned a teg with a gsr block, ported b16 head, stage 1 type ARRGGGGHHH N/A cams, topmount and a t70 to 25psi. damn thing rips. he had drag radials and 4th gear was struggling for traction. we tuned in 5th and im not excited to say it was a street tune. i would much rather be the driver at speeds like that. last time i tuned it was around 20psi and it made 385whp. this time it pulled harder in 5th than it did in 4th during the last tune. we estimate 450whp or so, but have no idea. he plans to get it on the dyno soon at least to see what it puts down, but possibly for me to tune it more. we will see.

im not sure if that info is worth anything to anyone, but it was some recent experience with some big numbers on crome, figured i would share
