Got the bolt-ons, time for a tune...

TShepp · 09-08-2009, 02:55 PM

Have a 04.5 Enthusiast I recently added Injen Intake, Intense TPs, Bassani Exhaust, and MD 5/16 spacer and now I am thinking about getting a tune. I have read nothing but good things about the UpRev Osiris tune so I think Im going to go that route. I would really like to get it tuned on an actual dyno but unfortunately looks like Im stuck with e-tune since there isnt a tuner/distributor for Uprev in my area. I was looking at hopefully ordering it from a vendor on here and just wondering where you guys ordered them and how hard it was for a new diy'er??

It's extremely easy to upload the tune, but I have to be honest I would definitely get it dyno tuned.

How close is:
Genesis Racing & Development
875 N. Ellsworth Ave.
Villa Park, IL 60181
grdperformance.com
(630) 834-5600

If you are going to do the standard........I would just get it from UPREV themselves.

Would a tune do me any good with a Skunk2 5/8 spacer, Popcharger, UR underdive pulleys, and an Invidia N1 Catback?

put it on a dyno and have it properly tuned or dont do anything...get a civic if u wanna do mail in crap to tune ur car...im sure there are plenty of places around or within a decent drive... i drove 6 hours first the time i was tuned and 4 the second time...most of us here do unless we live next to some of these places on here

tylerxfire · 09-08-2009, 03:47 PM

but dont go get it tuned unless ur done modding for a while, get that all out of the way then tune if ur just n/a

Well I think this is all the bolt-ons I can really do for the Z besides opening up the motor?? I dont want to do headers because it is a DD and I dont want the exhaust to sound crappy, I was researching lightened crank pulleys (tune not needed) so I wouldnt know what else to add right now. I am really hoping to add a stillen/vortech this winter...Im such an idiot, I didnt even think to look at GRD, they are 1HR 20Min from my front door

I think Ill be calling them up and going there for a tune, that would be my best bet right?

Yes.

I was just searching around on GRD website and didnt see anything about Uprev/Osiris tune but I see that they ARE listed on uprev.com....going to make a call tomorrow and see what if I can get a tune/install

allmotorsedan · 09-08-2009, 08:52 PM

GRD is the most reputable VQ shop in the midwest... Talk to Irfan or Chris. I can vouch for them. They do tune Osiris and many other flashes and standalones. Tuan is a phenominal tuner and can tune just about anything

I am going get Osiris in the spring time

. They will definately help you out

tylerxfire · 09-08-2009, 08:58 PM

yes call them up, ive heard good things...u could do headers, cams, heads, etc. the list will go on...but yea F.I. is the way to go imo..best bang for the buck, i daily drive my vortech z with 8k miles yet and going strong at 425whp now on a dynojet..ill be going to the track agaIN next week hopefully to go 11's and get some custom plates made up for it after that to state it..lol

TShepp · 09-09-2009, 06:07 AM

Im kind of reluctant on the S/C right now because Im undecided how much I want to do with THIS Z, I picked it up for a really good deal but its got 60k on the ticker and dont know if I want to start throwing boost at it with this kind of mileage, I want to get the tune so that I can get the most out of these few bolt ons and up the rev a little bit.

As for N/A mods you can also get a 3 inch MAF from Z1.

Just FYI for the OP.......this mod can NOT be installed until being dyno tuned.

You gave a pretty sweet 1/4 time for N/A, what did you all have done?

My friend BonesZ33 ran 13.3 with his bolt on 03 Z without a tune. Hes on the top 20 1/4 list on here.

His mods are: Kinetics V+ upper plenum, Megan longtube headers, Stock Ypipe with invidiaN1, and thats pretty much it. Again thats without a tune and crappy stock wheels and tires.

Honestly, my time is poop for the power the car is making.......it was the first time out on drag radials, and I only got 3 runs while the car heat soaked in LONG lines. You can PM if you want to know my mods. If I don't go 12.99 or better this fall I am going to run it off a cliff

TShepp · 09-23-2009, 06:43 AM

I would love to be into the mid-low 13s with this Z! I dont know if thats possible with the mods I have right now, but Ive never taken it out to the track to see where its at right now, I wanted to do the S/C so I could push into the 12s but the car already has 60k on it so Im kind of reluctant to throw boost at it now

03threefiftyz · 09-23-2009, 10:23 AM

I have 92k on mine.........with just bolt-ons and tune the car can go 12's I just have to get it there.
