I have never seen any cars with a EFI tune in person nor do I vouch the tuner. But he does seem to have decent rep on ka-t.org. I would research more or contact EFi specialist. I remember when EFi and emance first came out they were bashing each other on ka-t.org over tunes or something.

I have an EFI tune and i have no complain, the price is really good, and the customer service is great too.

How good does the car run and what is the afr? seems really similar to the daughter board that emance sell's, looks like it can fall out of place like emance.

why would you pay 600 bucks for a rom tune, when you can buy a real time ecu for 60 bucks less? go calum or nistune if you want full capabilities of tuning your car.

I guess you missed the 3 page thread in the ECU tuning section completely bashing Jason, with 2-3 people who blew their motors with his tune.
Your thinking of Emance....EFI specialist / redline is a differnt tuner.

Doesnt it require you to tune it yourself? this is the part were a lot of people dont want to mess with. i'm learning so i dont mind, but i dont have time and money to learn and blow things up. which i already blew up one motor from emance tune. this is why i went w/ enthalpy.

It's like 60bucks plus the parts that you have to replace after you blow up something for not getting a tune right.

Its really not that difficult because what you can do is get a base tune from a member with similar mods as you and fiddle with it until your car runs better (watching afr, timing/knock). There are detailed instructions on Nistunes website on how to start tuning yourself, its pretty straight forward. I haven't even heard of people blowing up their motors with a real time ecu's... and not to mention your car will run rich with those rom tunes and would cost you even more with a safc to fine tune.

Well good thing i already have an afcneo installed. bought innovate lc-1/xd-16 kit, thinking about what kind of knock detector i should buy but i think that should be fine. fine tuning shouldnt be hard. plus it's JWT tunes that usually run rich. enthalpy are pretty good base on other peoples experience.

Did this someone actually have an EFI tune? How did the tuner handle it?

Let us know about your buddy's experience and why it didn't work for him...

people are always quick to say something is no good and never tried it or knew someone personally that has. they just like to be negative if its something they don't have or paid for some overly expensive s**t and upset cause everyone else found a deal

no no he had one. He is a guy from a local forum, isnt a buddy just a dude that responded to a thread i made. Idk it just seems like someone always has a problem with any company. i just want to pay all that money and be the one guy outta 100 that gets a bad tune and breaks something. With my luck it would happen.
