Grow up. Do it all yourself....!!!!!

So, if you run up the ass of someone and smash the shit out of your car you gonna fix that yourself too? Im sure you could buy the paint and just do that yourself hey?
Its really not that hard you know. Ha
Yeah pretty F'd up advice.
I wish i was like you. Id never have to pay for ANYONE to do ANYTHING. Cause i could just do it myself. haha

Go buy MazdaEdit for $250Us and get a Tactrix cable from the USA. Total cost is about $450Au. The software is so easy to use....!!!!!

You can tune your own car, and back up the ECU stock file. That way when you get a service done you can flash the car stock. It's not that hard. If you were all smart about this, you'd all share files.

Grow up. Do it all yourself....!!!!!

Lol. What about the computer illiterate? What about those who don't know anything about cars and are far from professional tuners.. Home job FTL.

Btw, Tunehouse can do chiptorque xede's too... That's what I would be looking at!

I love the advise this guy brings...

especially how well the last 'venture' went...

Anyone have a grain of salt to take this with..

I have recently modified my MPS6 and it has the following mods:

Hyperflow TMIC
CP-e Dump Pipe
Corksport SRI + TIP
Turbosmart BOV

I have booked my car in at MRT for an ECUTEK tune but now im having second thoughts so I am looking for some advice to push me one way or the other.

My concerns are:

1. The effect the tune will have on the longevity of my engine
2. The overall driveability of the Car
3. The amount of experience MRT have with MZR engine
and last but not least

Bang for $$$

There is alot of discussion on forums regarding ECUTEK but i have yet to hear from anyone who has actually had it done and what they think of it.

I look forward to hearing as many opinions as possible, whether you have had your car tuned or not.

Cheers,

Curious here too, giving this a bump.

Speaking purely from what I've observed from the experiences of others, take this with as many grains of salt as you deem necessary:

Your pretty well bolted on your car now, the changes you've made look good / logical. The major restrictions to gas flow in and out of your engine have been removed.

KEY POINT: Depends on what you want from this car!

Options:
- Make no further hard part mods. And get a tune (my personal opinion is that a "good" tune is safer than running the stock tune with the kind of mods you have)
- Make no further hard part mods. Stick with stock tune (If you arent experiencing things like fuel cut, this is a perfectly viable option)
- Keep going with the hard parts (manifolds, turbo, etc.), sticking with the stock tune. (I wouldn't do this!)
- Keep going with the hard parts (manifolds, turbo, etc.), and get a tune.

At this point, if your engine is running well, you've probably extend the life of the engine. The reduced restrictions literally mean that it takes less effort to give you the same performance, which kinda converts to a longer lasting engine. Depending on the type of tune you go for, as to what happens next.

A conservative tune should enhance any gains you've got already as your setting up your cars computer to understand that changes have been made. Driveability is usually reported to be as good if not better with a larger area under the Torque curve being seen on the dyno graphs.

A hardcore performance tune will net you lots of power but be much harder on your engine and drive train. Driveability would proably still be good.

MRT have done a fair few MZR tunes now, both of the Flash and PiggyBack variety. They also wararnt their services (up to a point obviously, talk to them about it)

Hope that helps, and good luck
