They said they have never tuned with ECutek but will give it a try. Otherwise James said he can tune it but doesn't recommend the IAG block... Full Blown is the only other local shop that tunes with ECutek. James at HRI said go with Full Blown; But everything I hear locally is stay away from Full Blown... I dont know how to install an engine but maybe I should spend the $9,000 instead and go out and buy all the tools I would need, a lift, and engine stand, I dunno what else. Then do the install my self, I doubt that would go well since I have no idea what im doing... Thats why I wanted a local shop to do the install. Final option is pay to have the car shipped cross country to a shop that knows what they are doing...  Think I will just put down the deposit on the IAg block and hope for the best. Thanks everyone... Now off to find a second job so I can pay for my totaled car, lol. |
You should seriously consider at least part of my offer. Take a ride in my 9:1 engine BRZ. You could also just pull the engine and have FBM build it utilizing your existing case halves and crank.
As for the tune you have from James, it is the same base tune. It will work so long as it has the same parts on the engine as before. CR won't affect the base tune.
Lastly, consider my entire offer I sent to you via pm. I'm more than willing to help you out. I'm only 4 hours away.
If you want to, pm me back and I'll give you my number and we can talk.
