Edit Without Custome Tune

[Paradoxx]

Every car will respond differently to the generic capa tunes. My car runs on the generic 8psi map but makes good power on the 10psi map. It is slightly on the lean side but it has never pinged and always gone strong.

Your car might make good power, or it might ping. Best thing to do is get it, fill er up with Ultimate and ease it into the 10psi tune. Give it 1000km to settle in and it will probably serve you fine. If you dont have access to ultimate fuel, I would strongly suggest a trip into town to get it custom tuned on regular PULP.

I have been running a generic 10psi tune for quite a while, and have never had an issue. I'll be getting a custom tune done soon because I have injectors to put in.

You can "mail order" tunes from Simon here in Perth, all you need to do is send him your edit and a couple of dyno charts, and he will build your tune around that. Once you get it back, put it on the dyno, check AFRs and send the sheet back to simon to see if there are any changes to be made. If not you're all sweet, if yes then send it back and give it another go.

If you love your car and want the best for it a good custom tune is a must.

In most country areas 95 is the best fuel you can get so if you come into the city (and I dont know where you are)which ever tuner you choose, you should have it tuned on 95 octane fuel if that's all that's available to you. At our dyno day yesterday was a great example between generic and custom tune, 2 cars both auto and stock except for edit. Both autos . Stock no edit you can expect around 195rwkw. The generic tune car produced 220 rwkw. The custom tuned car produced 246 rwkw and a bigger smile. Hope that gives you an idea of what to do.

You will deffinately notice a huger difference even with the generic tunes, al;though as stated it can cause problems, im running the 10psdi generic tune with bigger cooler and air filter and got 255rwkw with safe afrs, although I suffer the traction control failure problem most people seam to get.

mine did 270rwkw on a generic 10 psi tune.

it was more like 12 psi but now I run a custom 260rwkw at 9 psi much safer.

easier on the tyres too.

once the injectors pump and wog cooler go on ill be rocking.

better to be safe than sorry

mine did 267 rwkw but running afr in the high 13 to 14.1 and rattled so I custom tuned straight away. custom tuning is a good insurance policy!

I agree with that lean a fuel ratio you are asking for engine rebuild.

I believe that the poor custom tune are that way for a purpose.

If the tune where great straight out of the box why would you bother spending any extra money in getting a custom tune. The tunes are poor so that you will spend your money at the local tuner
