Default Looking for eTuners

Hi All,

I’m looking for suggestion of tuners that work remotely. My car 2002 SE will have a m3pro, and efr 6258 and lots of other goodies to go with it and I have no idea how to tune. Open to suggestions. Thanks so much

-Chris

Below is a dyno of one of my customers NB2 that Jeff Evans just dynoed tuned. I have a good number of other customers who have done e-tuning with him. If I was going to pay someone to e-tune my car and it was not Vlad, it would be Jeff. I am honestly hoping to stop by and meet and talk to him sometime in the next week or two.

Appreciate that insight. We've got such a short season up here I need to get after it. I'm not well versed in reading dyno plots, but that looks like a nice flat tq curve and a great result!

If you want to learn to tune better yourself. https://evansperformanceacademy.vhx.tv/ is his other site. They are by far the best tuning videos I have ever seen. Well for the $50 for a month to watch them.

I had a similar experience with Vlad, took a long time to get a response. I think he was just swamped with work at the time. I happened to stumble across Evans Tuning and it was a great experience. Really knows his stuff and spent a good bit of time ironing out some idle issues I was having. Took about a month to get the tune completed sending emails back and forth but that was mostly on me only being able to send him a datalog once a week. I’m happy with the tune, especially for what it cost, and will be having him adjust some stuff once I swap in my new manifold and exhaust.

I'm not in jail lol. Just buried with work (same excuse, different day, I know and I'm sorry. Oh and I have a full time career outside tuning, wife and 3 kids, and a line of local builds/tunes I'm working on, not that it makes it any better or validates the slow responses).
I'm starting to switch to remote/live tuning and not even do emails anymore, it's just too time consuming.
That plot looks great. I hear great things about Jeff and seems like he clearly knows his stuff. Glad to see miata's getting dialed in properly, good MS tuners are still very rare these days.

Jeff's got me dialed in as far as my smooth brain can tell. My rods only VVT swapped EFR setup is driving great at around 15psi. Well worth the expense!

Fun fact: a Miata will start and idle on stock FPR/rail with the fuel lines reversed, but it will confuse and frustrate the **** out of you until you double check your work.

I don't think it should, I've done it a few times, and didn't even get a hiccup. You might make sure your FPR is working correctly.

Oh, I know, that's what I was believing as well, and it's the reason I waited to check the lines last. I had mucked it up before on a motor swap and it didn't start, and it was pretty apparent. This go around I marked the lines, was extra aware, and still did it wrong.

Both an NA6 and NA8 FPR did the same thing w/ a DW200 and a GSS250 in the tank. It took some cranking, and it didn't idle super great, but it was good enough to make me believe that it just needed tuning. And it was repeatable.

It's all good now, but ****'s sake.
