I am looking to get an Uprev tune done and need some info. Silly question,,, Is a road tune as good as a Dyno tune or is buddy just milking me? The place I called says he will do a road tune no need for a Dyno tune with my mods.... Thanks...

 

Since you have an X there are very few places that CAN dyno tune it (not many Uprev protuners have an AWD dyno), but if you're getting a street tune I would highly recommend you go with the Osiris standard package... $550 and you get the reflash cable as well so you can datalog, check and clear codes, reflash updates on your own, as well as reflash back to stock and sell it used later on.

Lots of shops will try and street tune you for the dyno tune price... not such a good deal for you

 

Thanks for the reply bro... There are a couple AWD Dyno's around my area. This guy has AWD capability but wants to do a street tune instead. that just makes me think he is looking to take the easy way out,make a quick buck and leave me with a crappy tune? This is why I am asking...is a street tune just as good as a Dyno tune with my average mods??

 

If he's trying to do a street tune for the dyno tune price then yes he is trying to make some money off you.. You can tune it on the street but it should be cheaper. In your instance Osiris standard with the reflash cable is a much better deal. I sent you a PM..

 

Listen to Joe- he knows what he's talking about! He definitely helped me a year ago

 

Yes..,he sounds like he knows his stuff for sure !!!

 

Plus for listen to Joe ( Seymore) great guy, ! BTW I'm selling my UPREV .

 

How simple/difficult is it to learn to operate an Uprev if you've never messed around on one before? Are the directions fairly straightforward or is there some internet research involved in getting to know the system format?

Thx

 

To use it , Flashed tunes ,log runs is VERY easy . I messed with a lot , even found out that I could shut the tire light off So swapping rims and tires you wouldnt have to get TMPS's. You can just shut the light off.

I could even walk you thought things you need help with .

 

Been reading a lot about UPREV lately. The $550 package looks great especially since I have the AWD too. I think that unless you're doing a dyno tune, there's really no reason to have a shop do it. Everything is pretty straight forward and UPREV supports their product well. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Well a tune is almost certainly the next thing on my list. Ever since I completed my power mods I feel the car pulling harder...but even tho it's faster and harder I can feel it wanting to get the air out or in much quicker. It almost feels like I'm running the car at 80% instead of 100%. I can't wait to get this solved because it's racecar!!

I'll put some serious thought into your Uprev. I guess what I'm needing to hear is this is something your familiar with handling. Is it?

 

The UPREV is very "user" friendly for sure, I would also use Joe and go the Etune route. The car will be 100% safe and he's great to work with. I was very happy.

 

What's the diff between the Orisis package and the Uprev? I'm a RWD so would all the above advice still apply to me? Or should I consider a dyno tune from a pro?

Honestly the thought of controlling everything, being able to clear codes, and changing atiff up sounds fun as hell. I just wanna make sure I get my car to 95% at least tho. How easy/difficult is it to track your rides output on the programs that you guys mentioned?

 

Orisis package is just that the package therse 2, Standard allows you to flash tunes and data log( One I had) The Tuner package allows you to tune the car, Something we don't need unless your tuning it yourself. If you looking to go Etunes( Works REALLY Well) or just take it to a place and just pay for the tune then you'll need the Orisis package,

 

Thanks. What website or vendor did you purchase yours from?
