Retune?

[Kingarex]

So i stacked a rod bearing a year and a half ago, decided to build the bottom end. At that time it had a dyno tune from English.

Since then I've done forged rods, forged pistons (same compression) balance delete, new pumps/belts,ARP everything, 3g lifters, oil cooler, and sparkplug wires.

I have the same compression, same turbo, same cams and same injectors etc.

Ideally one should always retune after any major work, but since I have not changed any fuel, Compression or timing aspects, I think it is fine on the old tune. Later this year I plan on adding a 125 shot, so ill pay the $750 to retune then. Let's hear your thoughts (please keep them productive) .

$750 damm that seems high for just a dyno tune he did mine for $250 a few years ago...i wouldn't worry about it just do it when you add the nitrous

Magnus charges 650 for a v3 tune fwiw. I wouldnt pay it but some do..

If it's english v3 it should be 300-350, if it's aem it could almost be 1000

Discusing prices/deal on a forum that you have a privilige to have. may not get you the same deal next time.

with that being said. your tune will be fine.

That was what Kaizen speed quoted me today. $750 for an all day dyno tune. And it's with V3. Do I need to retune with a wet kit at all?

Who the f is kaizen speed????!!

My god take it to english or hollands performance.

Shit my builder jack in seattle can tune you for way cheaper then that. Hes competitive price wise with english.

If you have link v3, just get to know it well and tune conservatively on your own. A wealth of knowledge exists on the link forum as well as here. You can learn everything there is to know about it over a weekend playing around with it. Assuming you have the appropriate monitoring sensors to log with.

If your stuck in a bind, post a log.

Wow and you just said sure??? My local shop charges 250 for a quick tune and 350 for an hour.... You must be rich if your paying that much for a tune on link..... I can tune link myself with no experience and just a little reading and they charged you 750?!?

Well honestly, I thought it was high, but English is like 8 hours away and I don't know anyone else that's as reputable. I know Trevor Holland personally, and have considered having him do it. What it boils down to, is quality. I want someone who's going to spend real time tuning and get picky with it. I don'twant to do two pulls and have them tell me im done. I just spent $3k building, I want a good tune .

750 for an all day tune. I guess he is trying to work 8-8:30 that morning and still get paid for a full booked day. Not a bad idea if it works.

Kaizen is a Japanese concept based around reaching maximum efficiency by analyzing processes and eliminating/streamlining everything possible. Sounds like this is not a practicing kaizen work facility. I wonder what color belt they have?

If you know trevor use him

I tuned a 700hp 1g today, setup the nitrous stall map, built the Ve table from scratch, ect in about 5 hours... A simple pump gas setup should cost you no more than 300-400 bucks. We charge a re-tune rate that's by the hour and starts at 150 bucks if someone was to do a simple change like you did. I could Etune this for you if you would like.
