kccortez, is Trent open to having another model mazda come along with the discount price? friends FD needs a retune after installing his exhaust
also my last bits arrived for the front mount so ill look at putting this in maybe next weekend or this weekend if im feeling motivated
Spoke to a few people today re: getting tunes done
Seems Status only has a 2WD dyno so for us 6 guys thats no good, could hire out RE Customs dyno with him but thats what Etuner does and Etuner has a working relationship there
As I said before too Etuner was willing to buy MazdaEdit from episoft (about $1000 USD I think) and use that to fix throttle plates etc. He was happy to do that even if he broke even on the whole deal
I've hada bit of look at MazdaEdit with no real conclusion.. let us know what you find out. Tho I think phoenix power in japn might use it but thats a wild guess.
VersaTuner is also in beta so that could be an option soon
Etuner would tuner the piggybacks and prob just use the flash for the things the piggybacks don't do like the throttle plate
Just ordered my pnp standback and cpe CAI for my 3.
I really thought status had awd capabilities though i did get a rwd stagea tuned. I think either way would be great though don't know much about etuner.
Are they quite good on the tuning side of things?
As for having cars other than the mazda mps if everyone decided to go status we could surely ask.
Also do any of you have a full tbe exhaust and have issues with cel or smoke. And can the standback adjust the o2 sensors so no cel come up? Just wondering whether i should get my exhaust done now or wait till later.
After talking with Etuner I have no prob handing my keys to him but in saying that Status was just as if not more helpful with the chats I had today
I guess for me it comes down to the exp with MPS and willing to look at MazdaEdit for flashes that would make me vote for Etuner at this stage.. said it would be good learning more about the cars and he would prob give it a full day maybe even two. If he did get the mazdaedit he would prob just brake even on doing 4 tunes
In saying that tho I think either would be good and I could just as easily go to Status if thats were everyone else wants to go.
I'd get your exhaust done before the tune kccortez, that is what I'll be doing as a full TBE or even DP is a bigish mod for these cars
Definitely get the exhaust done before the tune, otherwise you will just need another tune afterwards to get full potential. I haven't had smoking with modified exhaust but some people get it on stock, others once they modified and some of us are lucky enough to never get it. *fingers crossed* As for the O2 sensor, I doubt it would be able to, but I could be wrong. I don't think the second sensor really has any importance when it comes to performance so I doubt they would bother tinkering with its input.
I guess i would sway more to chequered tuning, mainly because of so many recommendations and my own experience with them. Trent is a fantastic tuner and great to deal with. But either way i'm fine.
