thinking about buying the v3 today or tomorrow for my 08 evo x. I am the second owner of the evo x mr with 30k miles. heavily modded by previos owner with injectors, bov, catback, grimmspeed 3 port, fuel rail, ssp super transmission pump, 500 hp ssp clutch upgrade and upgraded seals, aem meth/water injection, aem inclosed intake. etc.. my question is how supportive is this going to be? im running pretty rich right now, and has gotten as low as 10.2 during a pull. just curious what everyone's thought is on this. and what kind of support is out there? Is there many people that offer theyre knowledge and services? I have a friend with an wrx and he has some guy out of colorado thats doing it for free off of a subaru forum.

 

10.2 isn't really that bad depending where it was getting that rich on the curve at. Your best bet is to talk to a local tuner and see if they could give you a protune

 

If you decide to go the Accessport route, you will need to have the car custom tuned. You have quite a few mods that do not fall into a OTS map configuration, so I would recommend contact either a Protuner or Etuner so that they can discuss options with you.

I am from astoria, oregon so considering the fact i am 2 1/2 hours one way from any sort of tuner or tune shop. thats why im going the route of a cobb accessport or an etuner. really my only option for my location.

So your suggesting i do not buy the AP3 for tuning of my car? my location really sucks. and have never worked with an etuner or protuner before, once again any tips or suggestions would be awesome.. being as the current tune that came with the car and mods is not completely up to par and could be running ALOT better.

 

You can get an e-tuner to be able to tune remotely. They provide you with a base map, you provide them with logs, they tweak and provide you a revised map, send them the logs.

This back and forth continues till the tuner is satisfied with how the car performs based on the logs

There are quite a few capable e-tuners you can use

 

any reputable ones anyone can refer with cost? or free services haha

 

You can get an etune via open source or an Accessport. Both are capable of getting the car custom tuned to your specific mods list. I recommended a custom tune due to the fact that we do not have any "off the shelf" maps that will support your car. The list I linked you to has etuners listed that have experience etuning via the Accessport/Accesstuner software and should be able to get you taken care of.

Yea it already has a tune on it im just debating going open source or cobb. either way someone is going to look over logs because of the exhisting tune and amount of mods installed. im at a spot where i just dont know what to do. its already a mean beast but want to reach full potential
