As many of you know, my name is Blake Barr. I have been into advanced engine technology for the past few years now and I'm finally to the point to where i want to expand my experiences on to customer cars. I was never fond of tuning other peoples cars until recently I have become really comfortable with what I know and my ability to execute. I have read a number of books on electronic fuel injection which is a basis for what I know today. Reading books and articles online is how I got into advanced tech, then one day I had had enough and decided to give DIY engine tuning a try. It has proven to be something that I love to do.
I am now offering my tuning and ecu chipping services, but at MY leisure. I am a fairly busy person so I am going to pick and choose who and when I want to tune.
Currently, I am only able to tune other cars with Crome Pro but in the not so distant future I am hoping to add Hondata and EcTune.
So here is the rundown:
NA motors (pending build and tuning time) - 150 for Street Tune / 80 an hour for Dyno tune + dyno fees ($100)
Turbo motors - 200 for street tune / 100 an hour for Dyno Tune + dyno fees ($100)
Street and Dyno Tuning:
400 Total (includes 1 hour on the dyno, dyno fees and street tuning)
*NOTE*
These prices only involve tuning. Working on the car makes the price go up. So please, when you bring your car to me, MAKE SURE IT IS IN TIP TOP SHAPE!
Checklist before getting tuned:
* Oxygen Sensor Bung: You must have a oxygen sensor bung which is accessable & installed in a proper location to where a good air/fuel pickup can be achieved. The oxygen sensor bung MUST have clean threads & be clear of any welds which may stop a larger wideband oxygen sensor from being installed into the bung.
* Fuel Pump & Injectors: You must have the proper size & type injectors & fuel pump for your vehicle setup. Please consult with your tuner to ensure you have the proper combination.
* Spark Plugs: Proper spark plugs & spare spark plugs for your application.
Please consult with your tuner if you are unsure as to what spark plugs to run.
Most all motor applications call for NGK BKR7E-N-11 [NGK-1283]
Most sub 400 whp forced induction applications call for NGK R5671A-7 [NGK-4091].
Most sub 400whp forced induction applications should use plugs gapped to around .028.
* Check engine light: Resolve all check engine codes before you have your vehicle tuned.
* Charge piping: Charge pipe couplings must be secure to prevent pipes from blowing off during tuning & causing delays.
* Engine compression (No more then 20psi between cylinders.)
8:1-8.5:1 c/r = 150-170 psi per cylinder 8.5:1-9.5:1 c/r = 170-210 psi per cylinder
9.5:1-11:1 c/r = 210-275 psi per cylinder 11:1+ c/r = 250+ per cylinder
* Electrical issues: Please resolve all electrical issues before tuning.
* Brakes, Suspension, Tires: All of these components are extremely important, especially if your going to have your vehicle street tuned. Please make sure they are all in good condition.
* Proper octane fuel for your application: Please inform your tuner of what fuel you are running. You should run the highest octane which is widely available in your area such as 93 octane. Try to prevent having your vehicle tuned with gas which has been sitting in your vehicle for more than 20-30 days.
