So we are just about ready to release tunes for the community! We will be selling these on spare ECU's. The first two stages we will be releasing will be stage 0 and stage 1. Our stage 0 tune will net you around 50-60whp and 30-40trq on a completely stock car. For the stage 1 which you will also need intakes to get will net you around 100whp pending climate. We are going to start a PRE-ORDER tomorrow for the ECU's and tunes. ECU's will be $550, Stage 0 tune will be $695, and $795 stage 1 plus a little for shipping. Figure $25.

Any aftermarket intake will work for Stage 1? What about plugs?

How does this work? Do you swap out the ECU and send one back?

Wait, so the entire tune will be 1300+?

Are you sure this is a great idea without any data logging? Ive done mail order tunes before, but I had to data log with the Diablo for weeks going back n forth. This was on a N/A well known engine.

Dont get me wrong, I love the progress you're making (following on FB) but, for me, its still iffy on no logging mail order tunes.

Yes any intake. And sorry I thought I changed the part about plugs. We highly recommend spark plugs HKS 40IL for the stage 0 and 45IL for stage 1

You can send us your ecu to tune if you want to. But we will be buying spare ecus and tuning those and sending them out

We have been doing it like this for years in the KDM community with little issue. We can do datalogs if you would like but we will have to send the ecu back and forth many times for adjustments if needed.

Thanks. Ima keep an eye on this. You guys will most certainly get my business when I'm ready to tune, just want to get an intake, FMIC, and cat back, then tune around that.

Is this tune only or are any of the nannies turned off like cat-delete CEL, torque management etc?

Stellar work, guys! Really!

Just to confirm, it was $1,345 for the Stage1?

Correct if you have spark plugs and intakes already
So, can you explain why the intake is a prerequisite?

Also, is there any ability to control the power of the car or is it set?

Lastly, would you mind posting a short video showing how to swap the ECU's?

Nothing is turned off in the tune. With our secondary cat deletes we do not get a CEL

Sorry on mobile. The diablo trinity was a big POS. Can you recommend a good logger you guys like?
Try using the Torque pro app and see how it is. We have used that in the KDM community for awhile now and it works great.

Is it possible to permanently disable auto start/stop or default to a certain drive mode with this tune?

possibly. That is something that we will need to dig deep into the ECU to see what we can do for it.
