Why does Hill ?

 

Hill is so diferent than any other base. It operates differently, the people kinda suck....no commorotory......and way too many civilians that are about a pain in the @ss.

 

mejo 95 Are you buying an evo when you get here?

 

scott...hear of any good buys on an evo here in utah

 

Who do you guys have tune your evo's down there?

Ty

 

We had Al tune a bunch of us last spring.

 

Yeah, an Evo or STi. Not sure which one, just doing my research. The SRT-4 will not hold up to the snow over there.

 

It can't be too bad. What other bases you been to?

 

i doubt hill is any worse than reese afb in lubbock texas. Luckly they closed it down.

 

^^^^actually Lubbock is not that bad. Now Cannon, I'm glad their closing that base. When I was at Cannon Lubbock was the closes city to do things in, a two hour drive.

 

Besides Al, is there no one local down there that tunes Evos? No local performance shops have the ability? That sucks that we have to use a guy from CT. Has no shop thought about getting set up?

 

Christian from Cobb Tuning has a lot of experience dyno tuning with AEM EMS and other systems. He did a phenomenal job on my S2000.

 

how much did he charge you for your tune out of curiosity?? do you have your wideband o2 fed into your ems?? or seperate??
but i would say christian will always tune your car safe..

 

Ok so my ipod deal fell through, can any of you help me out?? Ipod nano in black??

 

dyno time and then I think it was $75 an hour. I think the initial tune was only around $250 or so. More than fine for street.

After a couple of a couple of track events I decided I needed to have a lot smoother tip in and partial throttle behavior. So I had Christian spend 3 or 4 hours doing partial throttle and tip-in tuning. Well worth the expense for the track. I'm very impressed with how smooth partial throttle is at all RPMs. Difference at the track was very noticeable.

I'm going to go back and have him do another map for race gas that I can load at the track. Cobb is also building an enclosed dyno room that can be adjusted to sea level pressures. I'm just waiting for that to be finished to have him do the race gas tune.

wideband o2 to the EMS. I also have the AEM UEGO A/F display. There new serial gauge setup is very interesting. The configuration options through software are outstanding. I like my DEFI gauges, but if I was buying now I'd get the AEM. Setting alarm thresholds based on numerous conditional variables is such a great option. For example, you can set oil pressure alarms based on a range of conditional values ... any variable available to the EMS including RPM. I'd like to be able to set low pressure alarm much higher for higher RPMS. For example, my low pressure alarm on the Defi is currently set to 1.5 bar, which makes sense for idle. At 9,000 RPM I want a low pressure alarm at 3 bar.

Now that Christian is no longer at Modern ... and Cobb is only doing work on Subbies ... I'm looking for another shop to do work on my car. Eric left Modern to go to work at Cobb as well.

I'm having Utah Imports do some work on the old F20c. I'll see how that goes and may end up taking the car there for mechanical. Christian will still do all my tuning. For track setup details and questions, I'm relying on the S2000 track hounds ... so I really just need someone for mechanical stuff.
