yea, Tony is still working on it...

 

* * Updates ??? * *

 

bump to refresh

 

I think they are just really busy. The shop organizes and does dyno/tuning days all over the country, so the tuner is often gone alot of the time. We should know soon though. Maybe we should of given them a date, but we told him we weren't in a big hurry. Late spring/summer

 

Ok cool i was just wondering. The anticipation is killing me to know if he can tune our cars.

 

did you find out if they will be able to do earlier cars.i have a 98 xjr

 

Is anyone worried about their transmissions? The stock ZF is only rated at about 444 foot lbs. of torque. It sounds like the tune alone might bring these car up to around 470.

 

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it

 

What the f*@# TONY, I need a tune

 

Tell me about it....they need to stop traveling and get back to the shop

 

Exactly .....

 

it's not looking good. I was at the shop over the weekend talking to tony, and he found a place that sells the software so that he can tune cars, and it's very expensive, like 10-15k. So he doesn't really want to buy it because the demand isn't enough...sorry guys...but this may be a no go

 

http://www.cmdtec.it has soft/hardware for about 5700 euros, have they checked with them? Only drawback is they only support the 4.2 engines and up.

I am not in favor of remote tuning, but I know a good tuner in the UK, that could do this, I am sure they can do a mild tune (would not go aggressive) with the listed mods one has, this would cost about $1000 (that would include also a speed de-limiter for track use of course ;-)). You would need to send your ECU though...

 

It might just come down to sending it out.....It sucks as each car is different.....but it still is a gain......Would they have different tunes for each different mod? or is it just a basic tune?

 

5700 euros is still over $7k. I don't think they want to spend that kind of money for a handful of tunes, they know the demand would be low.

 

@budsang1
They could do much more brands with this software, just have a look at the car list.

@Riski,
Can ask what they would be willing to do, They have done so many cars, that some mods will be easy to take into consideration like a smaller upper pulley for instance, so I do not doubt that that will be an issue. Let me know if you are interested, and also the mods.

 

we can also find out who Eurotoys sends there ECU's to. I know they don't actually tune them they outsource the work

 

I was told http://www.eurotekdesigns.com/ does them......But Budsang1 talked w/ them and said Eurotoys has cheaper prices.....dont has me how?!!! Will call them soon to confirm this......or just road trip to damn NY and get the car done!

 

yes sir, I emailed them about prices, I told them what parts I had from eurotoys, and he just replied, give mike a call, he can give you better prices, lol....go figure

 

The news sounds discouraging :-(
