Dyno Tune And Remap

[nisskid]

looking to get a remap in the near future, and as much as ive asked a few credible sources, i havnt yet come to a conclusion as to whether i should be getting a tune and remap or whether the tune gets done at the time of the remap. so basically i guess im asking what do the 2 consist. im thinking ill get a tune for now, then get a remap in a few weeks, but im wondering whether i should just save it and get a remap which will cover the tune anyway.

i know its a really noob question, and probably covered before but any help would be great. cheers

ermm...a tune is a remap.

They remap your stock ecu to tune it, unless you have some other form of engine management, then they'll "tune" that

putting the car on the dyno without the remap will acheive nothing you will not be able to adjust fuel and only timing by cas.

get the remap done if you can

Yeah remap is the go. Or spend the extra dollar and get an engine management, but it can be an expensive exercise

no, a remap is a tune, but by tune i mean the general make sure its running properly tune, not put new software in ur ecu tune. i just want to get everything running safe for a bit as it has a new turbo, other mild mods and hasnt had a tune in Aus yet.

ahk, well my mate just had his tuned and said they were playing around with the A:F's and i had been to the place only a few days or so before that and they said they didnt have the software to remap yet but will be getting it soon. now im not sure on the whole process, but i beleive there is a difference between playing with the ecu and putting new software in it.
