Oh for sure.

Junior tunes cars for a living. He has a lambo, supra, Skyline GT-R, 1000+whp '15 STi, a beautiful home and just had this huge wedding across seas.

Just acknowledge who you are, and don't be embarrassed. You're putting food on the table. Speaking in general of course.

 

[HNL HI]

But did the man not ask if you can tune a n/a engine?

I only asked because dude said it was useless, I guess junior never told him about it.

 

[youngking]

It's basically useless if you want to put words in my posts. Don't believe I said that word, but if you want to use it by all means.

Junior won't tune certain cars. It's actually against his policy.

One of the reasons I went with a c63 at the time instead of an m3 was because Mercedes put the same engine in it as the e63 which was at 520hp. They detuned it down to 451hp in the C though, because who is gonna buy an E for $90k when you can get the same exact engine in the C for $20k less?

Can easily tune it to give you the power it's supposed to have, but that's one of the rare examples where it's worth tuning an NA engine.



Had my car for about 4.5 years now and I'm finally gonna get to go to the track with my friend who just bought his m3. He's got a friend that always goes and he listed all the cars that are gonna be there. Never thought I'd see a Porsche 918 in person, but supposedly one of his friends is bringing one. Really hope he comes through.

bring u a go proooo would be dope to see a c63 chase a m3 and vice versa

first time i seen a 918 it had the martini decals and stuck in DTLA traffic

Getting tuned by a phony

I'm sorry but that's crazy. There are so many reputable tuners, this is MY tuner and MY shop I choose to go to. New jersey and the tri-state really has a whole lot of extremely reputable shops, don't let hype or anything influence you. Choose who's more convenient and who has a very good history and go with them.

Junior is only tuning at like 3-4 locations at the moment but did have that legal issue with some shop using his name. Pretty pathetic and I feel bad for anybody that got tuned and weren't knowledgeable enough to even know you got frauded. And "tuning" NA cars is using that term loosely and just throwing it around. You're better off getting some OTS chip or whatever for your specific car that has some sort of warranty.

It's basically useless if you want to put words in my posts. Don't believe I said that word, but if you want to use it by all means.

seems you like putting words in everyone's mouths, just rambling about random things no one is ever talking about . Is this being brought on by something you're going through? PM me if you are really stressed out and need someone to talk to, I'm always open to helping people out.

I didn't see not one person mention tuning NA cars before you brought it up, unless it was you assuming it was me? (of course it won't be now that I'm not wrong). FYI, I had my turbocharged vehicle tuned by JR at P&L motorsports, in my city, Chicago..Are you sure you know your buddy, pal, friend, jr that well? because he definitely said what he said about his GTR and you can even find multiple pics of his GTR on his facebook (which he posted over 3 years ago, what a long time to own a boring car). https://www.facebook.com/327059500657728/photos/?tab=album&album_id=329815983715413

 

[HNL HI]

Any type of engine can be tuned, wheather it's a 2 stroke lawn mower or a 100k hp diesel engine.

Every engine will benefit from being tuned, even moreso when you add aftermarket parts or modify the engine itself, add forced induction, different fuels.

A "chip" is just a generic tune, if youre tuner cant get more out of your car than that then you should reconsider the tuner.

100%
I had my NA car tuned (at the same spot, since people care) and made 35whp, the tune also removed a "torque dip" that is found in every BRZ, the drive is greatly improved and actually linear now. Anyone who thinks its a waste to tune an NA car does not know what they are talking about. from 165 to 195 in a car that weighs 2700 seems like a good gain to me

 

[youngking]

Did I not say NA engines can be tuned?

Did I not say it will benefit from it, but it's not worth it IMO , and that you're better off with a OTS chip from a reputable company? Much easier and convenient, plus you won't see much of a difference from a pro-tune.

Are these things I did not mention or am I going crazy here? I mean you're free to show me graphs that show significant power gains on an NA motor with no mods added, but simply tuned.

35whp on your stock NA car from a tune?

Well that definitely puts what I said to rest.

Some bolt ons and you can clear 150whp. Or were they already on before you dynoed

Pretty sure whatever "torque dip" that needs correction, an OTS tune can offer an improvement. Like I said, NA cars can benefit from tunes but don't expect any significant power gains unless you already threw parts on it and it had close to that power before whatever tuner touched your car.

Edit: 165 to 195=35whp gain?
I'm so confused at this point.

What are you on about?

My pal? He doesn't own a GT-R, and stop stalking the guy and posting his private info with links to his Facebook on these boards.

That's clearly not his personal Facebook, he's got another one for that..He clearly has pics of his gtr on there and clearly you don't know him because he actually owned an r35 for years, I thought you did since you talk about him nonstop
Jesus you got proved wrong by a guy that actually spoke with the guy in real life, firsthand. It's okay

 

[youngking]

Oh now he "owned" it. Gotcha.

I tuned my car a year and some change ago. Nice job avoiding my questions on whether or not you had parts on the car. Whatever obsession you have with constantly coming in here and quoting me on some attack tantrum should be handled on your own.

I'm here to discuss cars, you don't agree with something then contribute to the discussion. You're doing way too much with your emotions, man. But yea, P&L dyno graphs from your turbo charged vehicle are still welcome.

 

[sgamon]

His "personal info"
Isn't he like Kanye?
From the looks of it, he did own a gtr
Unless he's a phony

 

[youngking]

Apparently he's like Kanye
Going tomorrow to spend my day and ask for some autographs if he's still there.

 

[puglife]

bring u a go proooo would be dope to see a c63 chase a m3 and vice versa

first time i seen a 918 it had the martini decals and stuck in DTLA traffic

didn't even think about taking the gopro. great idea.

 

[sgamon]

The way he's talked about, seems pretty popular lol

[HNL HI]

There's an example of what I just said.

Parts will give you power, not the tune itself although it can help it help it perform a bit better with minimal power gains compared to just freeing up as much air as possible. It's an NA engine, not a turbo engine.

I put parts in my car and I can blow it up without a tune. Something as simple as an air intake. But ok

Why ask me a question if you're not going to accept my answer?
Strange. Instead of asking me, show me how tuning an NA car can net you three times its stock power level.

I can show you how tuning a turbo engine can do that and much more.

I think you need to read up more on the subject if you think turbo engines are some kind of wizardry that make it so different from NA engines.

Just adding parts to any type of engine is a good way kill it, that's only one part of the equation. If youre only buying parts without getting it tuned youre not getting the most out of your money and even more so your engine. Yeah, parts are giving you more horsepower but tuning your engine is telling it how to use it effeciently and effectively.

Also engines need to be tuned for intended use and conditions. drag racing for example racers/crews will run different tunes depending on track conditions, weather, altitude etc.
That doesnt mean my moms Suzuki Grand Vitara isnt also tuned from the factory for things like reliability etc. But also it's constantly tuning itself based on driving patterns.


You come off as a know it all with an elitest attitude, that's probably why people are always "coming at your neck"

Local Guy that catches some flack on the FB groups because of his car/claims but he made 221 on e55. Not sure if its actually the record #JRTUNED #NAFTW LOL
