Well Im planning on going forced induced by the end of this summer,YAY HOPEFULLY AND FINALLY!!!But Im sort of confused and scared about how much the tuner is going to charge me... ...anyone have an idea how much they should charge me?

 

450-500 for a full tuned

 

man thats steep as hell

I paid around $220 for dyno tuned with Chrome and a lot of extra work to get the car right

500 sounds ridiculous to me

 

whats your build?

mine was 140/hour

in the end it was 140 bucks cause he had another car close to my setup already saved, so he used the tune from that as the basemap didnt take long after that

The price include dyno cost, i highly doubt someone charge 220 and cover the dyno cost too

 

I would be prepared for the $500 range.More if it needs other work like fixing leaks etc...

 

So I should at least expect to spend 500 on the tune? Does that include the dyno? And what do you mean by my build? 140? Im new to this so yeah...

 

ya expect to pay around 500 if not a little more for a full dyno tune.

 

paid 150 and was finished.

tuned by
Whitfield Racing

 

around here its around 500$ also (canadian)
but that includes a full day... dyno tuning for big power... And then street tuning to get good gas milage...
not sure, but that MAY cover the cost of race gas as well... havent talked to him though

 

hey your know any good shop that could turn a d16a6 vtec fully build engine I live like 2 hours away In iowa I was in st paul last week for some parts. How much would i except to spend and looking for some good power. 300 to 400

 

i paid 180 and hour for 2 hours.. thats wit hondata. shops charge depending on wat u use too.. thats jus for the dyno time, hondata s200 w boost option = 400 plus p28=100 plus obd2 to obd1 = 80 bucks.

 

500

 

I paid $385 for my original tune....this year i changed the manifold, dp, exhaust and turbo and the tune cost me $170 because the part throttle was almost perfect right away

 

500 is sorta allot depending on the tune and the car. In most cases a shop should be able to have a pretty good tune on there in about 2hrs as long as you don't have anything crazy and you car runs properly. I think allot of places charge ~150 per hr for tuning. Most places will also NOT street tune.

 

And how long does it take?How many hours usually?

The answer to that question is very vehicle specific.

 

In a well known shop that does good work, youre gonna be looking at around $500 for a damn near close to perfect tune.

 

how much would it cost to tune 2002 rsx-s with rev hard mani, gt 3076r, 750cc w/guel pump, 3" all the way?

 

any one know any good tuners around Iowa like minnesota.

 

I have an APEX-i VAFCII, but dont know how to use it, just using it for the v-tec control, is that good to tune my car with or do ya'll suggest something better?If so, what?

 

i know someone in tacoma wa that does it for 140 using chrome, no dyno tho

I'll be getting my tune by Shane at DB Performance. He know his stuff

 

most place charge between $125-$150 an hour or just a flat rate of $400-$500 to tune . i payed $150. an hour at balanced performance it took alittle over an hour on my all motor tune and 2 1/2 on my motor and nitrous. ed was the tuner

 

Flat Rate is good for the tuner when the car is in immaculate shape...but this also allows a flat rate tuner to do much more in the time alloted and do a much more thorough job of tuning.

The cost of a tuner comes down to a lot of things...the biggest in my mind is how easily they can overcome or fix issues the customer wasnt aware of without getting into added costs.

Hourly tuning can get expensive if the customer doesnt have a typical setup or one where the customer is a little misinformed about the combination of parts that they put together. Generally when you have to guess at things because the customer cant give you all of the answers...it takes quite a bit longer to dial everything in.
