Hi folks, sort of newbie here but a quick question. I have currently own a 2010 Lancer ES with intake and exhaust so far and about to install some EVO X Camshafts. My question is what options do I have for tuning since the nearest DYNO from me is about 6 hours away. I am completely new to this new to this tuning game and appreciate any input.
Thanks

 

If I were you I'd book a day off and take it to that tuning shop. You could do it yourself, it is possible to either send away your ECU or get the proper cables/software to do it yourself (I dunno how) but..if you send it away you lose the benefit of having a tech fine tune your tune to your specific car. You have admitted inexperience in this field so doing it yourself..well, this is something that could easily go sideways on a guy if you don't understand it...clear answer, take it too professionals, learn, ask questions so someday maybe you can do it yourself.


Mailing the ECU away would probably be an excellent alternative if you didn't have the cams done...I'd trust a reputable company with just adjusting A/F ratios with an intake and a catback like I got, pretty run of the mill kind of tune. But with the addition of Cams I would personally want everything adjusted with a tech on hand, because that's definitely something that could be prone to fail maybe not even right away, but a few weeks down the line if something is quite set right, but maybe that's just me.

 

if you dont know anything about tuning, save the headache and your engine and take it to the tuning shop. also, add another few mods so its worth a tune

 

I have tuned a few base lancers with EVOX cams. Regardless if the base tune was done on a Dyno I am finding the cars react differently so fine tuning will be needed. Tuning you will need a tactrix cable and a proper XML definition.

 

Heres what another chap told me when he did his...
Buy tantrix cable and wideband o2
Purchase evo scan it's $25 and you can download it as many times as you want.
download ecu flash it's free and great.
go to evolutionm to find a tuner that specializes in non turbo lancers that has great reviews.
Does this sound right and are there tuners here that could help via email?
Thanks again guys
