Count me out unfortunately. Wish I could have been there! Good luck to you guys!

 

It's worth the wait. Trust me.

 

Bummer. Sorry you can't make it. Wish they stuck with the original dates.

 

The problem with this being pushed back last minute is that some of us have made arrangements to be able to participate in this event. Scheduling time off work, changing appointments and whatnot. If this gets pushed back one day past the 16th that leaves me with one day between then and the second week of June I would be able to get tuned. I've adjusted my schedule around this tune and am at a point where if it continues to get pushed back I'm **** out of luck. It would be nice to know dates change more than two days in advance. That's crap.

 

Agreed...not even sure I'll be able to attend the following week. I'll be calling Redline tomorrow morning to confirm the delay...hoping this works out.

False alarm!!! Manic tune at redline is ON for this week! May7th, 8th and 9th! Call Redline. They are open now. I am scheduled for Wednesday at 8am. They are doing two cars a day.

It's a shame I was getting bad info from Walter at eurotune. Sorry for the misinformation.

 

Fantastic...thanks Chris!

I am scheduled for Thurs May 8. Redline will be installing an FMIC and downpipe prior to my tune! I'm psyched!

Excellent! Your car will be totally different by the time everyone is done with it. Good luck.

 

See you Friday.

They said we'll be stuck there all day long. So I'll show up between 8-9am. At least they didn't try to BS us. I can respect that. Last time I had my EVO tuned I was there all day long. So that's what I expect. If shorter that's cool as well.

 

At RSW now. Nick is providing the first flash to the ECU. Nick is very knowledgable and I would suggest asking all the questions you can because he will have the answer. RSW is one of the cleanest shops I have seen in a while. Very nice people to deal with. I will keep you updated.

 

So Far, Nick said the tune is going really well. Its been a lot easier (more manageable) to tune potentially due to the higher octane gas and cooler temps. Its in the 70's here now. He is out on the highway now doing some final pulls for the race mode and should be done soon.

 

Nice! I'm excited for you! On the new turbo also?

 

man, looks like you can eat off those floors at RSW!
one thing i miss about jersey is cheap gas and full service stations...actually, i can do w/o full service. but cheap gas and 93 octane would make CA even more livable!

 

Yes, can't wait to drive it. I installed the new turbo Friday, along with ported mani and DP.

 

Yea man. Gas is good and cheap. Ha!

 

and bagels and pizza are amazing too. you don't realize that until you move out of the area. i told johntotah to hit up grimaldi's el segundo location before he head back north...not sure if he had a chance to.

 

I love my tune from Manic. I replaced the spark plugs as I was at Eurocode to the ones that Nick recommended.
The maps I got are: low boost, high boost, high boost + meth. He didn't have an SPS so at the moment it's set at high boost + meth but hopefully I get one soon so I can do a dyno run with the stock map and then with the high boost + meth.
It's a huge jump from stock or even the JB+. With the JB+ I felt that torque was missing down low and past 4.5k/5k it doesn't pull. But with the tune there's gobs of torque down low which is really easy to modulate with the linear throttle. If you keep on going till redline the turbo just keeps on going.
The car feels like a rubber band that keeps on pulling harder the harder you push it. Even the map without the meth is amazing! It is slightly less crazy that the tune with meth but not by much.
So far the car has been great after the tune. It eats meth like crazy now since it's hard to keep off of the right foot.
Overall I'm really happy with my tune from Manic and the ppl at Eurocode were friendly and just great.
Can't wait to go stage 3 once I get the funds for it.

 

Yes... Bagels and pizza and taylor ham and ....... Are taken for granted. Ha!

Phipu91 - glad to hear about your positive experience.

Back to the tune... This thing rips now. No giving up at higher rpm. Granted, my turbo is helping the situation, but I now have a safe tune at 19-20 psi on straight 93 oct pump gas....and it stays put at that boost till redline. Before the tune, I was making 15psi with JB+ with questionable a/f. With the Manic tune, the a/f goes straight to 12:1+\- after boost is above 5-10 psi. Whereas it would stick at 14:1+\- till 5k then start to settle down to 12:1+\-

The power band is amazing. The more pedal you throw at it the more power is delivered and keeps delivering till redline.

Drivability for a daily driver is there just as well as it was before without being jumpy in sport mode. Again, delivers when you need it.

Don't take this as a knock on JB+ because it isn't. It served its purpose well for the limited mods I had until I upgraded the turbo. Nick commented on how well the car responded to the tune and felt really good for being an auto and Awd. I feel the same... It's hard to not mash the pedal now. Ha! That's it for now

 

Glad to hear about the positive results! Looking forward to my tune tomorrow. Who else is scheduled for tomorrow?

 

I'm on my way now!!

 

where are you coming from? Good luck!
