So this is well tested tune with incredible results.

Tony Rivera - Pirelli World Challenge; Lead the Pirelli World Challenge half way through the season and only competed in half the races against fully backed manufacturer teams, including Kia, Honda and Mazda. Those teams were not happy to say the least.

Michele Abbate - SCCA Majors Tour Champion; also raced in USTCC and various other races/hill climbs through out the year. Great job as always by Michele.

We also have quite a few other racers (sponsored and not) competing in NASA Time Trials, NASA Performance Touring and SCCA Auto Cross (including Nationals) all running our NA Stage 2 tunes.

Lastly we also hold the 1/4 mile record for fastest/quickest fully equipped (full interior, A/C), daily driven street FRS/BRZ at 13.58 as recorded on video below. Only mods are full bolt ons, headers, exhaust, Flex Fuel Kit, and Stage 2 Tune.

And of course a recent dyno of our Stage 2 tune on a 3rd party dyno.



Our final testing on all of our tunes is performed at Mann Engineering in Santa Clara, CA on their in house MAHA Dyno Cell. This dyno is a well established dyno used by many manufacturers (including FORD and BMW, to name a couple) and it puts our tunes through the ringer. This has allowed us to dial in an extremely refined tune that will work on nearly every setup in every gear, at every load and every RPM.

So if you were on the fence with what tune to get, now you have a bit more to chew on.

We also have the ability to switch maps via the defrost switch, as well as through traction control buttons.

Okay so i got my 86 from japan on wednesday, manual transmission, and i confirmed today it isnt stock. It has launch control, flat foot shifting, and downshift rev match. There isnt any cruise control stick. Any help would be really awesome, thanks.

Do you guys have a comparison showing the previous stage 2 and the new stage 2, interested in seeing the torque curves. Especially using the jdp uel or similar uel header.

Once the license is on the ECU, it's actually there forever. Thus, the car would appear to already have a license on it.

I would really like to have this option but i dont. The car was bought from a used dealer in japan who purchases cars at auction. So that isnt possible, there is however an ecutek tuner here locally in Trinidad, saw that on their website

Once the car has a license, it is permanent. You do not need to buy another. All you would need to get a new tune on the vehicle is a cable kit and tune to flash.

Ok great thanks. But my question is how do i access the saved maps on the car as it has no cruise control lever and what wud i need to do in order to know which map is for what?

Depends on what methodology the tuner/customer used. Delicious has the cruise control stalk, automatic TCM, max accelerator + defog switch, and traction control switches as options. It could be any of those, or none of those if the tune on the car doesn't have switchable maps.

Michele Abbate closes at 2015 seasons with a 3rd place podium at Auto Club Speedway. This places Michele 2nd overall for the Southern Pacific Cal Club Division for 2015. According to Michele "This was a great way to round out our 2015 Majors Tour Championship win!"

Delicious Tuning latest Stage 2 Tune with Flex Fuel on a 3rd party dyno across the country for the BRZ/FRS. The baseline on a Mustang Dyno is usually about 150-155whp. Pretty good gains for our latest revision.

Basically install the header, tune and optional FlexFuel kit and you are ready to make power.

We have no time frames yet.

We are finalizing the tune on Mann Engineering's Dyno later in November. This dyno allows for a extreme amount of precise control in the tune and we want to extract every little bit we can from the header on the car. We will have the tune setup for 91 octane and Flex Fuel.
