SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! My car is getting an ECU tune
If all goes well, I will be getting my ECU tune on the SVT Focus tomorrow. Hello extra (roughly) 12hp, better MPG, and drag launch!
MY CAR IS GONNA HAVE ****ING DRAG LAUNCH, muahahahahahahahhahaahahaha /I really don't need this and should probably use that money instead to feed starving children in Africa or something //But really... stuff those children in Africa. I adopted one of those kids once and the "artwork" he made for me was atrocious. Never again. ///12hp and DRAG LAUNCH!!!!!!! |
It only gets you 12 HP? I hope you aren't paying a lot for the tune...

Although, just the tuner alone on my Saab 9-3 cost me $750 for 58HP. On my Porsche, it's $1800-2000 for 50HP. |

But had to put in a BSR CAI, Downpipe, and Catback before I could even do that. |

Intake = used for $100, Downpipe = $275, catback = $700, catback and dp install = $250 Maybe I'm not the one that should tell people they got ripped off... :shake: Oh well, it gave me an extra 60 HP so im cool :thumb: |

The Tune itself is costing $150 not including the the tuning module itself which I am picking up second hand (unit is unlocked) for $150. $300 total. |

Wait... you're doing this to a Ford Focus?

What else have you done to your Focus?

After the tune, and I save up my dough again, I'm probably going with a 67mm throttle body and from there my attention will turn to suspension. Quote:
This ain't your Grannys Ford Focus. |
Oh, I was just going to say...
Usually if you are planning on tuning a car, you wanna do the other things first and then custom tune around it. For instance, if you plan on throwing on a new exhaust / inter cooler / bigger turbo / Intakes / etc, you would want to put those on first and then tune.... telling your ecu that you have done these things, so please accommodate for them. Otherwise you are limiting your car, even though it is capable of doing much more. (like they come from the factory) |
