Will do man. Hoping they put it on tomorrow after work

 

I paid like $800 for Uprev Tuner version cable/software, dyno tune by an Uprev dealer and something like 12 or so dyno runs for tuning.

 

one thing that also helps is after the dyno tune is a road tune. the dyno can only simulate the road so much, so after tuning on the dyno the tuner takes the car on the road and does fine point adjustments to get it just right

 

Any problems with just buying from UpRev and using the flashes that you can get from them? Since they are pro's on tuning and the product I figured it doesn't really get any better. Thoughts? Pro's/con's by not using a shop and just flashing yourself with the provided downloads? I know you don't get a dyno but what else would I be missing?

 

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get a good tune from just flashing the ECU. Sure you will see gains, but no matter how skilled the tuner (IE UpRev), they cannot do as good of a job from just looking at the ECU. A tuner must adjust knocking, timing, everything and that MUST be done sitting in the car.

Now will there be problems? No. But will you see as good of a response and as good of gains from e-mailing your ECU as you would from going to a tuner? Not even close.

They may be pros but it is truly impossible to fully tune a car through email.

 

^ +1....

Every car is different.. Mods are different.. A/F ratio is different. A generic reflash of the ecu can not account for all those factors, but a tuner monotoring a specific car will better fine tune a factors than a generic reflash.

 

i got it done there for 500. i was the first car they did maybe thats why it was less but say you want to pay 500

 

Anybody know of a place near fountain valley / mission viejo that can do a nice UpRev Osiris tune?

 

for those who have uprev: there are 3 maps installed and switchable via cruise control, right? what do you do if and when you have to take the car to the dealership?

 

I think there are 5maps.

 

I'd like to know as well, so I'm prepared?

You CAN get the 3 maps installed, but personally I think it's a waste of time. When are you ever going to switch back to the stock map? And no one else EVER drives my car, so why do I need a valet map?

The dealership can't detect anything if you get a tune. So that issue doesn't need to be worried about either. Getting a REAL tune from a tuner who uses UpRev software is completely different than a "tune" from something like the Cobb AP. The Cobb AP is not a true tune and that can be detected, which is why with the AP you should flip back and forth. But as far as actually getting your car tuned there is no need to reflash, ever, IMO.

 

Thanks for the info! Hopefully I can find someone reputable near Alamogordo, NM who can tune mine.

hey man, thanks for the reply. i'd probably get 3 maps though because 1) i ocassionally valet and 2) for daily driving/traffic i'd like to get more mpgs

 

on my 1 tuned map I can get upwards of 25-26 MPG. On the way home from a show yesterday (driving on the beach, NOT highway) I got 25.4 MPG...the stock map really isn't better than a tuned map in terms of MPG. But again, just my $0.02
