Local OFT tuning
 

Has anyone here try to let your local tuner to tune your OFT tuning file? If yes , what your thought on that. I'm planning on during this in one of my local shop around town.

Feedback I got from a local tuner is that they'd be happy to do it for NA, but are nervous tuning FI without Ecutek.

The OFT tunes aren't anything special, it should give nearly all the options tuners are used to.

Ok , I Was planning on goig to this route. Do you know how well the outcome for this? Performance wise.

We're willing to bet the same as any other custom tune. YMMV

If you plan on going with any of the FI kits we already support, just run the off the shelf map and you should be happy. You can always take it to a Dyno shop for testing for fine tuning. In that case the tuner (make sure he is competent) will only really need to tweak the primary fuel and ignition advance tables.

Also he told me e85 was not needed for this car because of no benefit for it due to not enough combustion. Your thoughts on that?

He is probably thinking that the octane enhancement effects of E85 are lost on an NA car. Compared to a turbo engine that can turn up the boost in response, gains aren't going to be as huge. But still, E85 can pick up good power on the FA20 as we've seen. Some of that comes from being able run more advance through the increased octane. But much of it comes from the higher oxygen content and the bump in volumetric efficiency from the in-cylinder cooling effects.

Which kits do you already support? Do you sell them also?

Vortech SC, Phantom ESC, SBD turbo and our own kit which we will be releasing in January.

Any hints on the price, type of turbo, etc... :thanks:

Oooo didnt know oft supported phantom esc, whats the power gains on that and e85?

Mum is the word for now. Pricing will be conceptually similar to our current offering which is to say very reasonable :)

I'd say that 99% of all Phantom ESC users run the OFT and our baseline maps. On E85, they can make up to 235whp. On regular pump gas 210-215whp. But with huge torque gains!

I found a local tuner that will tune my OFT. I will let you know whats the result going to be.
