I know how to read log files. I've tuned using the AEM FIC and Allan Phillips Racing X1. I've used oscilloscopes to test and trouble shoot crank and cam position sensor issues. I've been using Palmer ScanXL Pro for 5+ years now to read and data log my selected OBDII parameters. I built and tuned a custom turbo setup on a 2008 Scion XB that made 240/240 whp/tq, raced it often and daily drove it for over 40k miles. Logging and reading ECUTek log files would not pose the slightest challenge for me.
The simple fact is that I didn't want to do that tedious crap anymore. I had hoped that I could trust a good tuner to do what I paid him to do without having to second guess him. Since I'm now being told that no tuner can be trusted and that it's necessary to double-check their work, I will give that advice due consideration. Thanks. This not my thread but I am asking that anyone not currently running a Visconti tune stop posting here unless it is to offer specific advice on an issue or question. There are threads for various turbo kits, superchargers, other tuners tunes, etc. Why can't JV tune customers have a thread where we can discuss tune revisions, issues, ask questions, etc.? Thanks in advance for respecting the thread title and your fellow forum members. |

You don't even need to own an ECUtek cable. You can try and source a local one and log a few runs, see what they look like and if you like what you see then there's nothing to worry about, your initial assumptions would then have been correct.

When I had the dyno tune done I only had a K&N drop-in, Borla UEL and Tsudo HFC front pipe. I've since added a Perrin pulley, inlet hose, over-pipe and just today, a custom Magnaflow axle-back from my buddy Greg at MBS here in MD. My plan has always been to get a dyno tune update after adding these mods. I was planning to again use Brady at Pure Automotive for future logging and tune updates but after more consideration I think I'll buy my own cable too, but only after ECUtek makes their big announcement. I'd hate to possibly miss out on something new. Quote:
Yeah, it can't hurt to double-check. FWIW, Brady is a tuner and he also looked at my dyno logs and saw nothing wrong. I also like to think that after tuning cars and motorcycles by ear for almost 40 years that I can hear or feel when something isn't right. Granted that I could still easily miss small tune issues that might only show up in a streamed data log. I hope that you and many others will continue to post in this thread. I only ask that we all try to keep the content focused on JV tune info and not just another hate-fest over flex-fuel kits, bad tunes, or whatever. There are plenty of other threads dedicated to bashing JV already. |

Running the new Flexfuel tune V2.00B2. Cold starts with over 60% ethanol is much much better. It just hit 40F in Houston so I've been keeping 50% ethanol so the car actually starts. Everything is running good.
John is working on updates too which is good to hear. |
