After encountering a myriad of problems the past two months with my car ...it's finally fixed! Thanks to Tamer/4WS tuning for making my car a street monster.
In two hours Tamer was able to erase 2 months of being annoyed with 3 other local shops!
Heres a run down...

-Only took 2 hours
-A/f's were spot on and conservative
-Tamer answered every single question I had and more
-Things that other tuners didn't bother with like part throttle and cruising speeds were done perfectly
-The car rips through every gear now
Stopped at a local dyno with a dynojet just for kicks and giggles to get some perspective. The car was actually backfiring on the dyno(new plugs robbed me of at least 15hp!!) and still made over 360whp!

Car before 4WS tuning.
335whp...all messed up on both kind of dynos( and the car felt slow)

AFTER 4WS tuning
375whp perfect daily driver (with more potential if i wanted it!)
And is faster than a new Vette coupe! (Ask me about it...;0)

Thanks to 4WS Tuning!!!!

 

congrats! sounds like a happy ending... Gotta love it! Props to 4WS and Tamer.

 

It will be as soon as we get the new plugs in an touch up the tune. Then well be perfect.

 

Anyone who has tuning ?'s you can pm me for info. Thanks

 

Do the cams do a lot for you with that stock turbo?

 

Hard for me to say because I put them in with a couple other things at one time. Not to mention the place that I had them put in...did them wrong. My car was having problems that i had to diagnose for about 2 months. I will say this. My buddy has a basically stock 2003 Evo 8. With just exhaust , mbc and the bc cams and ecuflash he put down 311whp.

 

TAMER @ 4WS TUNING is the MANN! i won't deal with anyone else unless he changes his career ahha. however. cams on the 9 improve torq for the most part. when you upgrade your turbo you will see more gains on both ends as the cams are more beneficial on the evo 9 with a bigger turbo as the drastic change from a evo 8 with bigger cams.

 

bump for the mad genius as usual...
after my manifold comes in i need a re-tune...

 

Agreed. I think cams on the IX help out much more because of the mivec. I have read quite a few instances where people have had problems with cams on a IX as well. The cams i put in...coupled with my...almost stock turbo...allowed me to make more power higher int he rpm range and keep it steady till over 7600. Where as the power on stock cams/stock turbo die at about 6800 my car pulls to 7600 and maybe even a lil higher. So it depens on what your looking for.

 

Another hiccup fixed in this whole process. Let me just remind everyone to test for boost leaks whenever you do anything. I would have swore by the work that me and my friend do yet there they were. Two nasty boost leaks on both sides of the intercooler. One at the LICP and one that connects to the UICP. Car boosts quicker now and runs great. Me and my buddy fixed everything this morning.

Thanks for the advice and info Tamer.

 

yea man tamer is awesome. I've known him for a few years now and hes very knowledgeable. i would NEVER go with anyone else!

 

HaI'm just waiting for the last re-tune now ...post bost leaks. I'll update this when i do to give some new numbers.

 

good man. . im happy your satisfied with tamers tuning 4WS FTW!!!!

 

Tamer is the MAAN!!
