So I've been having trouble finding a good answer as to how/where people get there cars tuned for ethanol. Is it something I could do myself, or something I should take to a professional? Is there anything I specifically need before going to ethanol? I have generic after market charge pipes, k&n air filter with stock box, catless dp, and borla exhaust. I figure I'll need a new clutch sooner than later, and some stickier tires. I was planning on doing a e47 tune, but for convenient I thought e60 would be nice because you can get that directly from the pump where I live. That may not be a good idea though because the gas they mix with the e60 is definitely not 93. I'm starting to ramble now, but any help or if someone could get me pointed in the right direction would be great. Thanks


I have a lnf if you can't already tell from the e47 comment.

 

do some digging ....

def. dont tune it yourself if its your first rodeo, not sure of tuners out there but look in the regional section and see who is near you and find out who is a good tuner.

 

Contact Terminator2 for a remote tune.

 

Is there anymore supporting mods anyone would suggest? I know of a respected local shop. I also know a guy that said he could do it for me. My want to save some money, and my common sense are conflicting on it lol. I admittedly know little about tuning, so I don't have a good gauge of if the guy actually knows what he is doing or not. I'm thinking I'll just go the safe route, and bring it to the professional.

 

what makes him a pro ??? he is a mechanic ???

i guarantee joe the mechanic has never tuned an LNF before and will end up F'ing something up.

Term2. is a very well respected tuner and comes highly recommended from many, he knows his stuff and i would consider him a professional LNF tuner.


U cant be cheap about it.... if you want it to be reliable.


Buy HPT and get remote tuned. get the standard version its cheaper, and get it used and ur all set.
if you cant pony up $400 for tuning software well then ... uhhh dnt mod ur car.

 

Any supporting mods suggestions?

 

Now i don't like necessarily driving business away from myself or other tuners, but you all should not go straight to telling the person...... go here and this guy tune you..... No disrespect to term or anyone else.

If the person is willing to learn and can accept the fact that you have the capability to blow your motor if done wrong, by all means, start reading on hptuners.com and start learning. If you think you can try, go buy the software and hardware and tune it yourself, you'll be happy you did, and its not that hard to learn.
