What is this tunning you speak of? Never heard of it. I wonder if tunning is similair to TUNING? I don't think anyone has gotten their vehicle TUNED or not. I personally haven't gotten mine TUNED by a TUNER at all.

Dude, Red Devil was just pointing out that it's spelled tuning, not 'tunning', as spell check also points out.

[SARCASM!!!]Is that what Tunning is? It seems to be the same as TUNING.[/SARCASM!!!]

I've edited my previous post to help further....."define" my intentions.

Try contacting JWT or Stillen to see if they'd waste their time for an ecu upgrade for the Versa.

my guess is that English is the second language for manvan looking at the profile. However, not sure what good messing with the ECU on a Versa would do (even if it could be done). a small percentage of low horsepower is still low horsepower. Fred

Actually I was just trying to be amusing and funny about it. If you want to get all offended and turn this into another rant about me not being positive or whatever then go ahead.

And that would be weirdo........weirdo

I love how there are all these posts in this thread and all but one are useless.

Anyway, to answer your question manvan, I don't think anybody has yet. To get the most out of an ECU tune it needs to be done on the specific vehicle. Those out of the box plug and play tuning chips are junk because every engine runs differently. Tuning an ECU needs to be done on a dyno, without a dyno you're just wasting your money. I don't know of anybody specifically in the chicago area but any reputable tuning shop should be able to do the trick. Most dyno/tuning shops (if they have good business sense) won't specilize in one make of vehicle. You could ask this same question in your regional forum and see if you get a response from people in your area.

Per this thread like I said, anyone with a wideband o2 and dyno can tune an afc. Anyone can tune it, just having the right equipment to use to actually tune the afc with is the problem. ANY CAR CAN BE TUNED
