  • Do I need a Tune? Does this part require a tune? Hot question that I get asked a lot so hopefully this helps you guys out to know what parts require a tune and what do not. Keep in mind that any engine parts that change the amount of air or fuel that enter or exit the car will need a tune. With the exception of some that fall into a grey zone. This is mainly targeted at Turbo cars but still can apply to Naturally Aspirated (N/A) Versions as well. Hope this helps!

      @@Smeedia Firstly, Good info.. ahh u da man. You young whipper snapper brainiacs crack me up..(-::
      Secondly, and this is a good one. I did a tune while having CAI and catted dp on my 2016 atsv. On my 14th upload(13th was fantastic) the car seems to have spun a rod..Not good..stuck in traffic..(can u say new engine needed)!. The car only has 35k miles on it. Its a boarderline spectacular car in many ways.
      Anyway, hopefully my cpo or ext warr can/will step (after I back track). Supposedy air was to rich or lean per the tuner file. I have a graph and video. It's actually all greek laguage to me though.
      Q: Will the aftermarket cold air intake already on the car (air) bother/hurt a new stock lf4 engine? I have been told cai and aftermarket exhaust also will not effect the warranty) and allow the car to hold it's normal factory performance.

    Many make the mistake of getting a tune and keep adding part's , with the cost of a pro-tune it's best to gather up all of your performance parts install and tune all at once ! In my experience any car will respond to a good pro-tune , $750 where I am !

    • @ThatGuy-yj3lu
      @ThatGuy-yj3lu Před rokem

      @@jamesmota when running E85, you need larger injectors because you need 30%-40% more E85 to generate the same amount of energy as gasoline. So right there you have your answer. With bigger injectors you need a tune. But putting the car on a dyno and having a base map sent to you are 2 different things. This is something you'll discuss with your tuner, and most will send you a base map that will scale your injectors correctly in order to get the car running. There's no power tuning done in the base map. It's just a 'make it work' map, so you can drive the car to the dyno where further, more in depth tuning can be done.

    This is so helpful! Thanks for always making such informative and digestible videos, keep it up man. I got a question though...I have plans to go e85 on my 2013 WRX, so I'm going to be installing injectors, flex fuel sensor, fuel pressure sensor, and fuel pump, but also which I'm installing that stuff, will be doing a downpipe, potentially a TMIC, and also a new clutch to hold the torque I should be at after this is all said and done and pro tuned. So here's my dilemma: I'm going to pull the engine to do the clutch so it seems like it would be wise to just do everything else all at the same time so its all ready to go with all the mods for the tune, but I know the clutch will have a break-in time so I want to make sure that's also accounted for before I get the tune as well. I've heard tuners will be able to give a "base map (rev limit reduction/low to no boost, correct?)" so I can still drive around for the time being and also get the milage on the new clutch. Is that safe and ok for the engine for the proper clutch break-in time/miles while I'm on the base map?

    Hey man I got a question I live in Florida and I’m pretty new to the STI life. I got a 2011 StinkEye Sedan recently and I’ve gained a lot of good good information from you so far. I watched your video on what to Monitor on the accessport and I just have a question about intake temps mine was at 140 degrees today just at idle is that bad? Florida gets pretty hot and humid here. I’m pretty stock all I have is exhaust and a pro tune. No intakes yet or anything.

    I would say it’s also a good idea to call a tuner or email them and ask them specifically about a part if it needs a tune or not if you are unsure. But I’ve talked to three different tuners personally about headers if they need a tune or not. And they said no I don’t but if I want to see power gains then I would need a tune. So idk what to do

    I guess I subscribed to your channel just after this video was made. I own a 2015 STI that I bought new in 2014. The only mod I have done to the car that you mentioned was to add a Mishimoto air intake less than a year into ownership. Never got a tune. The car runs fine. In fact, the only issue I ever had with it was a bad solenoid. Even then, the car ran well. I just couldn't go into sharp+ mode. I am fanatical about maintenance, as this car is my daily driver. Just completed a major service at 105,000 miles (timing belt, gaskets, seals, another solenoid, etc.). At that time, I added a Cobb lightened pulley and pitch stop mount. The car runs great. Turning my attention to coilovers and new 18' wheels now. Love the channel! Keep up the great work!

    Perrin claims that NO tune is necessary for their front mount intercooler I was curious what you thought about this. I’m going to post what they sent me when I asked them.
    “While you can gain MORE from a tune with a FMIC, you do not NEED a tune with a FMIC. The computer will naturally adjust to the cooler charge temps and make more HP / TRQ accordingly. Additionally, it will keep charge temps lower for a longer perior od time vs the TMIC that will reach heat soak quite quickly.
    We do offer parts that MUST be tuned after install and will inform clients of those in the same manner that we inform accurately and honestly when you do not 😊 You will not damage the engine or the car with the installation of the FMIC. Period.”
