All of my friends love the Vortech sound. If you have a decent exhaust, it does sound pretty cool.

Don't worry about your project taking time, it'll all be worth it in the end!

 

Update!!!

I just got a call from the mechanic telling me the car is up running

finally!

 

You see! All good things to those who wait.

Who's doing the mapping?

 

not sure yet

some of the guys in here told me to try doing it myself soo..

 

Only tune it yourself if you're truely interested in doing it...and definitely NOT for financial reasons. There are aspects of the UTEC that are not user friendly and are only possible to tune with experience -- temperature compensations, knock thresholds, open/closed loop transition delays, and a bunch of other things other than A/F trims that when tuned correctly makes UTEC more or less annoying to drive.

Either way, I'd ditch the UTEC and go with Osiris. UTEC's are jerky transitioning in/out of boost, have a relatively high failure rate, tentency to blow coil packs, limp startups, ghost CEL's, dead batteries...and that's just my experience. Being SC you don't need the overboost protection anyways.

Why splice into 150+ wires with an unsupported / end-of-life box that slowly introduces gremlins into your system when you can plug a cable into the ODB port and tune away on your stock ECU..

 

I'm already thinking about the Uprev.. the closest tuner will be in Germany

I have a question.. Is it ok to NOT run any gauges? or will I need the AFR at least?

 

grats Erdem...

you defo need gauges, AFR, oil temp, and boost..

i can't wait for u to share ur experience and ur dyno sheet :P

 

How far away in Germany? As in, how many hours of driving? I've been mocked for this before, but I think there are limits to how far it is reasonable to go for a tune. It's a lot tougher for you European folks, though.
Running zero gauges is possible, but it's a risk/reward question that you have to be comfortable with. They aren't cheap, but they don't represent a massive percentage of the total bill, and they can provide you with information that could stop you from damaging your engine. (They only provide info, though... YOU have to act on it.)

 

8 hours to the closest

and then there is Abbey Motorsports in London which will be minimum 13 hours

 

me 2 br0.. can't wait to feel the FI it better be worth it

 

To the closest Uprev tuner or the closes tuner at all? Uprev isn't rocket science for any tuner that is experienced in F/I but the price is about $400 higher for a non-'Uprev Pro' tuner.

I've never seen a gaugeless VQ F/I setup go well. I'm a bit worried about your project but good luck anyways

 

to the closest Uprev tuner..

don't get me wrong I AM getting gauges(these are not the expensive parts).. I just needed opinions on this

I must admit, I am new to the tuning world (this being my first project) and I did not know it was possible for any tuner to tune the Osiris Uprev.. this will make it so much easier for me

 

considering ditching my Stillen TD exhaust!

too much noise

 

B!tch is running?

 

yup

up running, without boost though..

breaking the motor in

 

Congrats bro

 

thanks Totti

 

Haters gonna hate

 

Hey! that's good news bro grats!

what's ur break in plan? oil changes?

 

NICE!

Gratz man!
