Weistec Tune

[Rob 02]

Per my email with Weistec they tune the ignition timing, fuel, and boost. Race exhaust to them means a primary and secondary cat delete. Seems to be a relatively conservative tune for $500, although they are local to me which is a big thing. but the Alphaspeed and Kangan tune seems to be a bit more of an increase, although no one yet local is ready to do the tune.

Is Kagan Tune based out of NY? I’m in NJ. First thing I noticed when I looked up Weistec was the record breaking MB’s thought to myself ok guess their reputable. I know 60 Hp is pretty conservative I’m just happy they are working on our platform. The more tuners the better.

Yea just sucks that I finally see a local tuner for this platform and it’s restively conservative. That 62hp is taking out the primary and secondary cat

Nick At KHARTUNERZ will be able to once he gets his hardware.

For those curious SoCal folks looking for a mild tune and aren't truly looking to be dyno kings or trying to set/break records, it's so far been a good tune. The Weistec tune is a conservative tune with longevity and reliability in mind and is comparable to the Jb4 map1/2 that I was running. This was the goal I had in mind with my tune which is the reason I went ahead with them, being local also helped quite a bit. Simple set it and forget it.

AFRs are now within a good and safe range of 11-13 depending on where you are in the rpm band. I was running allover the place on the JB4(full disclosure, I wasn't running fuel wires and I'm sure people will flame on that) from 10-15. They reduced the power loss on shift by increasing torque limits, which makes for smoother power delivery. The car is very smooth and feels less rough on acceleration and shifts (I didn't mind that much considering I came from a tuned G37 with a rough aggressive tranny and a V8 baby monster e92). MPG went up in normal driving and consistently seeing 20mpg of mixed driving including ~10 miles of Socal traffic mixed in. Haven't had the chance to do a long highway drive, but looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

I went from 362hp/426tq (jb4 map1) to 383hp/410tq (Weistec). I have junbl mids, thermal exhaust, velossa tech, stock box with k&n drop ins. I am going back tomorrow to get some fine tuning done since I put my Injen intakes back on and want to get some more increases to load limits in the mid rpm range. The tuning they advertised was done for AWD, so they have some things that I wanted changed for my RWD. I may also eventually stack my jb4 for a little more boost, but I'm happy for NOW. That changes over time, "ask any real racer" LOL.

All in all, I am satisfied for now with my Dad Mobile while I internally debate what my next project car will be for true go fast numbers (I sold my e92 M3 a little after I got the Stinger. Still a big regret, but $16k in cash was tough to turn down). An interesting thing I've learned throughout this process is the ability of tuners to tweak their dynos to reflect higher numbers - STD vs SAE, smoothing 5 vs 1-3, etc. I started taking a look at everyone's dyno charts and noticed the differences from tuner to tuner, not all charts are apples to apples. I guess you can get a bit higher numbers based on how you fiddle with various factors. I'm not endorsing one tuner vs. another, people can make their own decisions based on what they want out of their car. MY goal was accomplished and dealing with Weistec has been good.

Seems like you are happy with your results. Before my car got here I was thinking of getting it locally tuned. Not a lot of options near Sac. Then I found out that it has a Pressertech stage 2 tune on it. Lol

I like the idea of your project, looking forward to hearing/seeing more of it as you progress

 

[Tonkabob]

Did you get a stock baseline dyno pull in?

Also im nearly positive the throttle close on shifts is from high fuel trims and your tune brought thise down.
If trims above 40 (20%) right around 6 to 6200 rpm seems to do it.

No stock dynos, unless my car is a freak, I’m sure that stock would’ve been anywhere in the neighborhood between 320-330 like most floating on the internet. I regret not just unplugging the jb4 a few days before I went for the dyno. But I wanted to see what I was getting with the jb4 vs an ecu tune

 

[Tonkabob]

I've seen 320 to 345 stock on dyno jet so big spread.

I am also thinking of getting the weistec locally. Are you getting the bangs and pops at off throttle?

They’re not able to. It’s not that aggressive of a tune, comparable to map1/2 on a jb4. It’s just much kore smooth and lineal.

weistec said it’s +$50 for the bang and pops. I guess I have to find some that has it so I can hear it!

Save your money, they couldn’t figure it out.

Oh that sucks! Thanks man; I was about to pull the trigger!

Tork must have figured it out.

Tork is the only one still working on our cars, and the community loves to bash him.

Yeah I am going to give him a call if weistec can't do it.

No only some bash him and they have eased up lately. I for one follow him with interest and when my build is complete I plan on visiting him.
