E-Tuned here: When there are mechanical issues [vacuum leak, fuel pump going bad, oiling issues-VVT solenoid, ignition problems ], my tuner knows and tells me about it/them. I believe E-tune and street tune are quite similar in that it is done in the "real world"- the street the vehicle will be driving on. the only difference is that, in street tuning, the map revisions can be done almost instantaneously. As for the difference in atmospheric conditions, that applies to the 3 different kinds of tuning. One can be anal about a tune and tune a car for the different seasons but even with that, atmospheric conditions can still vary during a summer/Autumn/Winter/Spring. The thing about E-tune is that, it's kind of risky doing WOT logging on public roads.
MOOAAR VIDSSS!!! Boost activated cut outs? Differential swaps? Chassis + motor swap wiring? Spark plugs? Mufflers? E85 mix with 91oct? Electric vs manual boost controller? Dry vs wet compression tests? Transmission pop outs? Spherical tie rods vs OEM? Thanks!
you all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Chaim Stetson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Good video, I went through and made sure my 2010 WRX was running right before I got a stage 2 e-tune from Eric at torqued performance. The guy is amazing at what he does with e-tuning. I'm on my 3rd revision from him and I feel like it performs much better than the Cobb ots map.
My tuner had me doing 4th gear pulls... a speeding ticket going 110 in a 55 would definitely had been more expensive then a dyno tune. But I didn’t get pulled over so 🙂
Just started going down the road of an e-tune. Your point on goals is very important, as well as the ability to go with a tuner experienced in the platform. Do you feel a dyno tune has many more refinements due to tuner being present that an e-tune does not have? As someone building a quick daily driver, I have no need to squeeze every bit of HP out of my car. Additionally, do you place any weight on tuners being experienced with specific car models? (VW, Honda, Subaru) or do you believe experience with any 2.0t, v6, v8 will apply to all similar motors? I am under the impression that each motor must have its own quirks which would make it very beneficial to go to a tuner experienced in the platform. I have heard from some that any tuner should be able to tune any car. What is your stance? Love these videos! Been watching them for the past few days.. who needs netflix! Edit: I see in the last minute you touch base on my second point - I still wonder how much value you place on experience with specific cars though.
Great comments and great questions! In my opinion there are a number of benefits of a dyno tune over an e-tune. The controlled environment is a significant advantage, as well as having the tuner in the car in the environment as they are tuning the car. Those carry a lot of weight in my opinion. As far as familiarity with a platform goes, I would say that there are benefits from working with a tuner that specializes in one type of car. The obvious way is that they will be able to tune the car quicker because they have tuned many similar cars, and they will know what the safe limits are for a given build. The less obvious reason is that they will most likely be much better able to trouble shoot a situation if the car is not working the way that it should. Or even know that something is off, before spending hours on the dyno trying to tune around a mechanical issue. But in large terms, tuning a car should be very similar from platform to platform. The principals are all the same. The difference come in the small details. Thanks very much for watching, and glad that you found these helpful. Stay Tuned!

You are spot on here, wot pulls on public roads is not a good thing.
Thanks very much for the comment, and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching! Yes, we have a lot of things that we are working on, so stay tuned :-) We'll take a look at your list.

@Chaim Stetson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

4th gear is about 1:1 ratio so it's the most balanced gear 😁
Another great informative video! keep up the good work!
Thanks Chenchar, and thanks for watching!
