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?

 

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.

 

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.

 

not sure where your located. but here's who i'd recommend. http://www.j-k-tuning.com/index.php

 

i paid $250 for dyno and all but it was a friend of a friend thing but most of the tunners in my area start around $500 for dyno tunes

 

all depends where you go and who the tuner is...the old saying you get what you pay for..lol

 

i have heard around 500 to have a car tuned at slowmotion in ohio. same guys who tuned this car
i have rode in it and its sick

my buddy just got his dsm tuned with 4 others cars and they got a good rate so go with friends if u can and see if they guy will cut you a deal

 

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

 

$500 should include both.

 

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

 

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

 

okay i payed about that much

 

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

 

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

 

$ 600.oo in the NewEngland area.

 

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.

 

okay thanks guys im from hawaii

 

I wish more people understood this.

 

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.

 

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.
