Could someone please let me know the going cost of tunning a hondata per hr. I have a dyno session booked in the morning, but i just found out it was $150.00 an hr. and that sounds kinda of steep to me. Info is appreciated.

 

Thats sounds about right, the right tuner should beable to tune it with in about two hours or so, maybe faster depending on the tunner.

really i was thinking it was in the 75-100 per hr. area. i am going reguardless just hope the person knows what he is doing.

Thanks for the reply, D

 

I think the cost of $150 is reasonable in the individual knows what he is doing and it doesn't turn into a BS section with others that may be standing around. In other words, is the shop professional?

I hate to say this, but it sounds like you haven't researched the shop that much and if you could reschedule it you may want to think about it.

Yeah, i have did research and everyone i talk to says the guy is great. Just didnt know if that was the going rate for tuning or not. I will however keep the BS problem in view though. Not going to pay for people standing around. The tuner said that it would be about 2 hrs. or so.

 

150 is better than the quote of 225 an hour by colletti motorsports in dayton so be glad. At 225 an hour I decided to buy my own wideband and 4b, learn to tune it myself

 

yeah but howmuch did that setup cost?

 

$150 for tuning fee, dyno time, air/fuel is not bad at all.

some places are cheaper, but prices are regional.

just because a guy in VA gets his for $100 per hour doesn't mean you can compare that to your area.

 

150 per hour is good.

 

This is true, i am in the Atlanta, GA. area and i have only found one Hondata tuner. Thanks for all of the replys

 

Thats my plan, when I went to the dyno and it was $150 an hour WITH wideband.... I said **** it I'll tune my afc setup myself since $150 is already ALOT, I don't even wanna know why the are charging for tuning the damn thing.... not to mention they probably tune for MAX power when I want MAX reliability/safe A/F ratio....

So no I have my own wideband o2 and will eventually get a ems or something similiar and tune myself....

 

$150 is good... considering it costs us $185 here in northern california.

 

colletti is the the most unprofesional place ive been too, not to mention their dyno is always F'ed up.....i went there awhile ago when i still had my supra..first they pulled it in on the front wheels..im like "uhm thats rear wheel drive man" and the dude says "ohh yeah, im used to driving my probe around, not used to these rwd cars"

then i had to tune the car entirly by myself, whenever steve colletti made a suggestion on what to take out with the afc it turned out to totally **** up my a/f curve and made it take even longer...finally after about 10 pulls i have it dialed in so i can live with it and he charges me the entire amount for 3.5 hrs when it was less then an hour of dynoing.

then to top that off, a guy came in while i was dynoing my car from a local toyota dealership and was pretty impressed with my car, and while im standing away steve offers the guy my 644rwhp dyno sheet so he can hang it up at the dealership! im like WTF...anyways ill stop bitching now

 

So many cars I see have problems, so I usually charge a flat rate of 300, no matter how long it takes, if you buy the system from me.

 

If only there were more shops like yours arrond...

 

if i get a hondata from u do u include a basemap?

 

Good lord they be taxing you guys out there. Damn I thought our Dyno prices were high here (115/hr; 75- 1/2hrs; and 30- 2 runs). Man that make me happy to see that this is a reasonable price here and they are the ONLY one here too.
