One of the most underrated channels on TH-cam, you guys deserve millions! You guys create one of the best automotive content. Period. Keep up the great work!
@@zanpy8600 no dude, every sticker adds 10+ bhp and the big exhaust is to vent the excess V-takk++ and the spoiler so you get more lift like a jetfighter.
I believe this is simply the best automotive channel on youtube due to the high Quality on the videos and they really explain things simply and understanding. Also gears and gasoline shows the real passion for cars through the videos they make. Keep ut the good work.
This video couldn’t of dropped at the perfect time, tuning makes so much more sense to me now!! I recently installed my catback exhaust and a new cold air intake so a tune was always in the back of my mind for that next step on my 2013 Scion FRS THANK U SO MUCH!!
I had the JB1 on my 2016 Golf R and loved it! Amazing power and George from Burger Motorsports was a joy to work with. I now have their JB4 on my 2019 Type-R and its even better thanks to the bluetooth functionality with their app. You can monitor several digital gauges, data log and switch maps on the fly...it's phenomenal and best part again is there is no flash or checksum file left behind on your factory ECU ;b Cobb is a great option too but their OST maps are really prevalent to knock, at least on the Subaru and Evo platform. Pro tunes are definitely the way to go for this route.
Golf and sexy don't even belong in the same sentence, unless we are talking sexy golfer chicks. Regardless of where I may be from - FWD and performance cars just don't mix. Best regards from Munich ^^
+Theismarcel Jo schon, aber basiert immer noch auf nem Fronttriebler. Und die ganzen GTI's sind pure Fronttriebler... blargh. Wer meint des is wurst soll einfach mal paar Monate nen Hecktriebler fahren. Danach willste höchstwahrscheinlich nie wieder Frontriebler. Einfach völlig anderes Fahrgefühl. Und so richtig sexy is nen Golf nun mal auch nicht, egal wie sehr man ihn pimpt... aber is natürlich alles Ansichtssache.
Maryland’s car scene is kind of underrated, I’ve met some serious people there. The Honda scene is mainly dominated by NY and MD (seen some nasty civics) , not trying to start anything here lol. Dude that silvia looking escort is neat, better than the silvia actually. I’m on a hunt for a supra mk3, the white high hp one you reviewed gave me chills. We will meet one day brothers!
I agree, COBB makes quality parts and the versatility of the accessport is incredible tool. I would suggest anyone who is new to tuning to give Cobb a call, their customer service is second to none too✌
Nice.. I'm currently learning to tune... I have the hptuners software but I have someone else write my tunes for me ..and that can get expensive over a short period of time so it's really to our advantage if you're going to be a car enthusiast in the future and you want to make power... learn to do it yourself
What a great video! Big Thumbs up. ... I do remember the days of having to actually do work to cars to make them fast. It's incredible how far the computer controllers have come along...
My tuner is a 1995 Ford taurus t- tops ,cold air intake, cat back duallies, 4 foot spoiler, racing stickers neon lights ,kissing doors with a body kit sitting on 22s ok there 14 inch hubcap spinners but I keep them clean do it's a real babe magnet I run 97 octane for a extra 50 horsepower when I race it it's a real head Turner and on top of that I went into Harry's and ordered a t66 turbo and a motec exhaust I can't wait
2 question from Italy 🇮🇹 First one: I'm not sure of that, but in all these case you can only modify the ECU changing the code with a new pre-written code and you can't access at single parameters changing them as you want wright? Second one How can you be sure that the mechanic contest is robust enough to support the increase of power ?
See I got the JB4 for my Golf R, just because the car is still under warranty. And if we take it to VW, they can see that we did a flash tune. Might get something like Cobb after the warranty is up
What about carb tuning, chip tuning, what about an extra injector hooked up to a hobs switch and welded on to the intake? Those three types of types of tuning.
emmanuel siguenza yes it allows via Bluetooth or data cable there’s a phone app and a program for laptops You can control boost by gear remove cel for down pipe Just can’t remove the speed governer but basically 3/4 of the way to a full tune but completely simple and easily removable
The thing to remember with a piggyback or a handheld tuner is that you're adding another point to your system that is equally as capable of failure as any individual component in your vehicle's CANBUS system. Is it rare? Yes, but it can happen. I've seen an Accessport brick an ECU before while trying to unmarry it so that the maps could be updated. And while Cobb did replace the ECU as well as the Accessport in that instance, the owner's only vehicle was incapacitated for over 2 weeks. It's a real risk that nobody weighs when effectively further complicating the already complicated computer network in their vehicle. Native tuning, with a laptop and cable, is still going to be the most reliable way to tune, either on an OEM ECU, or on a standalone if that isn't an option, providing the tuning itself is done by someone truly knowledgeable enough to tackle it. The risk, in my mind, is not worth the ease of the other options.
I have a cold air intake and catback exhaust. Can I tune it myself with just a laptop and some software? I mean the mods ain't much but it's certainly taking in air and dispersing exhaust on a level the ECU wasn't programmed to, so a tune will bring out the most of what I have. I just wish I knew more.
What's best for my 02 vw jetta with the 2.8 glx vr6 engine? I want more take off, more boost and more power. Mine is not the turbo. But will be turb boosted in 2 months. What's best for me to use right now so I can bring to a shop to get it done? I currently have straight headers, straight pipe and cold air intake. Not much of anything but I want more out of my beefy engine
I hate when people say this although I know what you mean, all you’re doing is adding fuel. You’re not getting any more air, you can’t pull out or add any timing, You can’t map the fuel delivery, I could go on. But adjusting the screw on a carburetor is hardly the same thing as tuning. Yeah it’s free but it’s hardly as effective.
Lone Rider You can cause irreparable damage to the ECU just by winging it on your own. Best case scenario, you don't make any more power. Worst case, you completely disable your car. Learning on your own is great, but it just isn't worth the risk imho
obviously one shouldn't just throw themselves into something they don't know absolutely shit about. but if you study about it, then why not? how do you think "someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you" acquired their knowledge?
Lone Rider You can do what you like, it's your car. I went with a reputable tuner whom I trusted to give me the results I wanted. $300 for peace of mind ain't even that much really
I wish you would have addressed the pitfalls to each of these....piggybacks can be quite dangerous since it's "tricking" the ecu and in all cases, a backup ecu just for tuning (a clone of what you have) should be used for the tuning just in case.
David Santiago if you go with a good company Piggybacks can be fine look at banks in the truck community I’ve had numerous trucks for hundreds of thousands of miles never had a single problem using it long term
Does an equivalent of the JB4 exist for the Hyundai I30 diesel 110hp 2018? I know it exist for the I30N and for some BMW diesel, but for mine, I've not find any that seems to be right...
Question. I don’t have a tuner or a laptop and the Dino place is 20 minutes away should I put on the parts then drive over there or get the tune and then put the parts in
trying to find a way to tune my 1990 vw corrado g60 would like to add a few things but I want to be able to tune it before I do it. Its got an obd1 port so I cant tune it with a hand tuner and cant find any piggy or standalone tuners for it. would really appreciate it if you could help me out.
So Jermaine said if you tune via the JB4 method, dealers won't notice if the ecu has been tampered with. What's the case with the cobb? Are dealers able to see if you reflashed the ecu and is there a way to hide it if does keep a record of flashes?
Most flashers will store the stock tune for you to return to back if need be. The only thing that I know of is if the dealer has to do a software update to the ECU they'll wipe any tune you put on there anyway. It doesn't check what the tune was before.
Ah, but once you start talking about n/a engines, things become more tricky. I can't just flash tune my 5cyl to develop 220whp, even though it's completely capable. Turbos are a wonderful thing, one day I'll fit one on.

Yet again, ya'll have made another great piece of work. This is one of the most under-rated channels tbh
Wait... when did you guys hit 117k subs? Im proud of this channel's future :)
Boi well look at them now
The only way to tune is to jb weld a blown single cam honda engine (non vtec) together and run 40 pounds of boost on it like a normal person

Good videos guys. Definitely felt like I was watching top gear or something similar! The angles and edits were smooth
This is a such a good channel. I am like in 5th video in a row. Just discovered. Love you.
The way your videos are edited are amazing. Keep it up guys
I like the Cobb access port as well. Unfortunately they don't make it for a lot of cars.
Incredible video production and post production. You guys rock.
This guy was great glad you guys found him.
Jermaine has tuned a couple of my friends cars. Dude is a beast
Thank you so much. So hard to find tuning for dummies videos
excellent cinematography and editing guys. Content is also thumbs up. I still have dtec and gameboy in my box of old car parts somewhere from Turbo XS
The fitment in that Golf is orgasmic
it has non. stock height or maby some gay ass -20mm springs
Sorry I couldn’t help you guys with this! But awesome work as usual :)
Guys, you are awesome! Love you channel and vids.
Man I never usually subscribe after watching 1 video but the comments basically compelled me to!
I became a better man.
Absolutely love the video. As always, great content!
Lol the new cobb access for the mk7 R is awesome. But you can't forget about APR when talking volkswagen.

Love this. That place is like 40 mins from me maybe have to check them out.
Only German turbo cars can get those type of gains with just a tune
Mr.Car Yep thats true and still be really slow...
Augmented Ninja7 There are Golf
Rs that run 9s lol.
Jad3d Not just that theres a mk1 with like 1,000hp, but I am not sure if it has another engine.
Zem45 it got 1200hp its a twin engine
@@michaelzepeda5785 it got a mk4 r32 engine, which is an underrated tuner beast
Ok, I'm new to this channel, but is that a fucking Escort with goddamn TE37s?!
That was my first thought
Wish you spoke about whichever one throws a TD1 code which voids warranties. Can we get more details??
See I got the JB4 for my Golf R, just because the car is still under warranty. And if we take it to VW, they can see that we did a flash tune. Might get something like Cobb after the warranty is up

Great informative video, good job
Can we have a video on the three most important supporting mods for tuned vehicles ? Most people will Stage 2 tune a car on stock rubber.
That Golf R is damn near crazy
APR stage 2 on my GTI, 400wtq in a small hatch is just bananas.
Mitchell Boling Unitronic is better lol
Can we not have a tuning debate?
Lol I'm just fuckin with you, mk6?
Samlap25 nah, mk7
Mitchell Boling Nice
not sure about jb4 on golfs but jb4 allows you to switch maps on the fly using steering wheel controls
emmanuel siguenza yes it allows via Bluetooth or data cable there’s a phone app and a program for laptops
You can control boost by gear remove cel for down pipe
Just can’t remove the speed governer but basically 3/4 of the way to a full tune but completely simple and easily removable
Thumbs up to get an AP for the ZX2
how simple everything is on the video .. but I'm afraid that if I start repeating it all myself, I'll stay buzz the car )))))
Why is there no flash tune for dodge charger 5.7 hemi
Flashing the ECU is the most popular thing to do here i Denmark. :) Nice video tho!

Way back in the days you could also tune your 1960s Mustang, but you did it with a wrench rather than a computer :p
Can you tune a car with a automatic transmission with out any upgrades to the car

Wonder if the civic type r will just go stand alone since the ecu hasn't been cracked yet.
So the 1st tune is the only one that won't void your warranty?
You need to have a turbo to tune your car like this?
Any idea on the suspension/ wheel spacer setup on that R. It looks perfect.
COBB would be great if they started doing maps for EU market.. all thats left is custom mapping here...
Which is the best if your only getting exausts and a intake?
If I were to put a cool air intake in would my ecu not correct itslef.
Does tuning void your vehicle’s warranty? Does it also impact reliability? Thinking of doing this to my Nissan 370Z
does the cobb work for any car or are cobbs build to certain cars cause i see online that theres specific car brand names on sum of the accessports
yo great video. is that golf R stock?
If you are using an access port, is it possible to go back to stock like a piggyback if the car needs to go to the dealer?
I need help learning about cars, i am a but confused from the stage 2 and stage 3, is that turbo wise?
silly question. does the car need to be turbo to do a tune or can naturally asp be tuned
And if you dont have a Turbo or a supercharger, you have to get in to the mechanics
Sharp looking golf R. Anyone have recommendations for vw tuners in Toronto? Looking to put a tune on my gti.
i hear good things about onpoint. never used them myself however
That stand alone ecu sounds like a video I’ve watched on this one website before
I have a few question for you. From where did you get those wheels, how much have you paid for them and are those 4x100?
Tuning a GTIs and Golf Rs are crazy
Will piggyback ECUs affect we car warranties?
So Jermaine said if you tune via the JB4 method, dealers won't notice if the ecu has been tampered with. What's the case with the cobb? Are dealers able to see if you reflashed the ecu and is there a way to hide it if does keep a record of flashes?
