I'm a cheap bastard and often end up doing things myself for that reason. But I also like to end up with a quality end product, and like to know when it's a better use of time/money to just pay someone to do it. And I don't have a ton of free time at the moment to fuck around on cars.

I've never tuned a car, and don't presently own any of the equipment to do so. From what I can tell, my options for my obd1 civic are:

Cheapest-Crome free, freelog, chip burner, wideband, bumble around and hope to not grenade anything
Less Cheap- Crome Pro, ostrich, wideband, figure it out
Slightly less cheap- Neptune, wideband, figure it out: $500?
Expensive- Pay for a tune and a neptune license for $600 (Locash Racing in PHX)

Where I crux out is that if I just pay for a tune, I'll probably need a couple of them- one for cam swap, one for the turbo. Which will cost more than I paid for the car back in 2008. What would you  do?

I can get my rigs running halfway decent and driveable and safe, but then I leave it to the nignog less to do the good shit!! Just put the turbo and cam in/on now and pay for it once.

Haha sounds good. I'm gonna call you from the side of the highway when it blows up on the way to the tuner.

What I really need is another drive down to the Joseph Davis shop. I've heard you can get a tune for the cost of a handjob or two.

That's what I'm talking about. I talked to a couple shops in Phoenix and none of them do crome anymore

Cracked eCtune is all the rage, bruh.

No.

I've read about cracked eCtune a few times, but I've never seen it actually posted. It's like a unicorn.
