Supercharger Install Ep. 7 - Remote Tuning with EcuTek | Flashing, Datalogging, and More 

Remote tuning is definitely the way to go. Planning on doing a video in the future on remote tuning vs dyno.

I am trying to save for some property and build my own private garage/shop! Love doing this.

Great question! We'll be sure to touch on it.

Yes, from my understanding the factory tune has a set max calculations for fuel, ignition timings, vvel timing, etc. Introducing an unknown on the engine like a cold air intake for example, ecu sees there's denser air at idle and cruising, ecu is gonna dump more fuel to compensate to reach the 14.7:1, low rpm torque characteristics may decrease. The mid to high rpm range, things may seem normal, installing an exhaust changes backpressure and affects the flow of fuel and air mixture when the timing of intake and the exhaust valves are both open for fuel efficiency and performance, installing bigger injectors can affect atomization of fuel from lack of fuel pump pressure to OEM duty cycle factory parameters, so not tuning can have a negative or null performance gains. I like to think of it this way, tuning your ecu after installation of engine performance parts is like teaching your brain that you got a new prosthetic limb to get familliar with to kick some a$$

I have long tube headers, and don't have a check engine light because the o2 sensors are disabled/the limits were thrown way out. You really need a tune to prevent check engine lights from deleting your cats.

Inwould talk to Eugene Turkov with Enthusiast Auto Care. He can work with just about anyone around the world and can send you a tune that is safe to flash and get the car started / driveable.

@@thecarizon504 great, thanks for the quick response. Legend

There's no definite answer on how much the engine can handle, and there are other factors like how old the motor is, how the engine is tuned, etc. The basic answer I can give is a lot of guys are running up to 15 psi with no problems given competent tuning. Around 20-25 psi you start to run into issues with head lift.

@@thecarizon504 I appreciate the advice my guy love what you are doing and the car looks and sounds amazing, you know it always raised the question why they never boosted these from factory lol. but if you have free time id like to pick your brain about a few other things. keep up the good work again brother!

Discount tire, they are drag wheels, forget the model number

The rims too

Yeah, they are Drag Rims, specifically DR33's: www.dragwheels.com/search.php

Thanks

Dyno day set for next thursday.

I'm planning on doing a separate video on uprev vs ecutek to discuss this, along with a couple tuners, but from what little I know, ecutek has finer map adjustments, can tune throttle, but uprev allows you to tune the car yourself, as a user. I also lile the ecutek interface better, having worked with both. Plus, Eugene Turkov was highly recommended to me by several people in the Z community and he is an ecutek master tuner.

I also read somewhere that for forced induction, Ecutek is way better... That's why I chose it, also the dongle and easy logging capability is nice to have. However... I've lost cruise control and miss it a lot, I used it everyday to stay at speed limit

Remote or dyno?
