tuning prices?
 

hey guys, just curious bout how much did you guys pay for the very first dyno tune, with hondata s300 turbo(excluding dyno costs)? how many hrs?

Re: tuning prices?
 

The shop I got my tune at just charged a flat rate of $200 for tune and another $100 for dyno time. I have been quoted anywhere from 200-400 for a complete tune from shops in Oregon and Washington.

Re: tuning prices?
 

usually its about an hour on the dyno after prolly about an hour street tune. depending on the setup and how much power of course. i say 200 for street tune then 150 maybe for the dyno time and tune.

cool, ^sik civic! okay you guys are tellin me about $500 for a dyno tune right? is this just tune?(excluding dyno charge)..

Re: tuning prices?
 

$500 should include both.

Re: tuning prices?
 

if it's their dyno normally you shouldn't be charged for dyno time. Hopefully it's included in the tuning price

Re: tuning prices?
 

well, i was there for bout 3 hrs (took like an hr. for the guys to set up my car on dyno.etc.) tuning/dyno was only like 1 1/2 hrs. and paid 400 for first tune only..dyno was like 110 on top of that

Re: tuning prices?
 

okay i payed about that much

Re: tuning prices?
 

Were are you located? That has a huge impact on the cost of the tune it seems.

Re: tuning prices?
 

I had my car tuned at Slowmotion, $500 includes tune and dyno time.

Re: tuning prices?
 

$ 600.oo in the NewEngland area.

Re: tuning prices?
 

it ranges anywhere from 400-700 bucks.

especially if stuff happens while on the dyno (leaks, bolts/clamps/hoses loose, sensors not working right, something not hooked up right etc....) the extra time sometimes will end up costing you while the car is there.

I wish more people understood this.

Re: tuning prices?
 

Where I'm located, it depends on who is tuning your car and how. I'm getting my car street tuned for about 300-400 plus 75 for setup fee next week and these guys are well experienced, if not the best local Hondata tuners. Dyno tuning costs extra. I know a guy who can tune my car for free with chrome, but that doesn't mean I'm going to him.

Re: tuning prices?
 

If your street tuning how do you know where to set you timing at for maximum torque? Other wise your leaving alot of power on the table.
