Tune for Daily Driver
Hey guys,
I looked around here a little and didn't see a thread specifically for this so I thought I'd make one. I was just wondering what tuning software is recommended for a daily driver. I'll list what I'm planning on putting on the car and what my general goals are for the tune and performance. Mods: FT-86 Speedfactory UEL Catted header. Nameless resonated/catted downpipe/overpipe combo 2.5" PERRIN Catback exhaust 2.5" Injen intake (Or maybe a drop-in filter to save some money) I mostly want the tune to make the vehicle as efficient as I can with these mods, while still keeping it operating right. I don't know much about tuning, just that it can be more efficient for the car. I don't want to do anything that can mess up the engine or damage it. Also not looking for an E85 tune. Is there anything that fits this? Nice, clean, efficient, but still with some gains. This is a daily driven car and most likely won't see any tracks. It may, in the future, see auto-x, but that's nothing I'm planning right away. |
Right now I use OFT, and I don't have your mods, but I will install this winter a UEL header, and so far, I have no complain to do! and it is my daily drive!
If I would lend my car to someone, he wouldn't notice it's a modded car, he would just find it more powerfull than a standard model! |
subbed sounds like exactly what i need

I too have the OFT and let me tell you, it's fantastic. First thing I noticed was the car ran much smoother, torque dip, while still present was barely noticeable. Overall drive-ability improved! Not only that, when/if you ever decide to try out e85 you can with ease! :burnrubber:
Daily Driven. In case you're wondering my mods are Stock header/Nameless 2.5 axelback/TRD drop in filter Quote:

Thanks for the recommendations :) OP- if you need more info on the OFT, you can visit the website at www.openflashtablet.com
Starting January, OFTs come pre-programmed so all you do is plug it in, press a button to read the stock ECU file and then another button to select what tuned file you want and then another button to flash your ECU. It is literally plug-n-play. There is no longer any need to connect to a laptop and manually upload a tuned file that you downloaded from the website (as currently described in the Getting Started tutorial video). If you have any questions, feel free to ask or email sales@vishnutuning.com. The office is open on Jan 2nd and I'm sure the guys won't take too long to catch up with emails :) |

It totally logs now
|
I'm very new to modding, what is this logging I keep seeing everyone talking about and how difficult/important is it to do and keep up with?

i'd say if you're paying for an e-tune or running an ots map, it's important to log initially and confirm everything is good to go, then maybe check it by reviewing a quick drive every so often, or when anything about your setup changes. it's not something you have to do regularly once everything is known-good, but at the same time you do need to do it. the car isn't going to e-mail you if there's a problem. |

No OTS map on this car can go without some sort of verification via logging. its best to go with a tuner that supports this as a viable option. And a detailed logging system is quite important.
