In order to avoid costly delays at the time of the tuning appointment, it is best to be
prepared. We will at out discretion repair any necessary items at $90/per hour plus parts.
If the car is already on the dyno, the dyno and O2 fee will not be refunded. The car will
generally need to be pulled off the dyno and put on the hoist to fix problems.
BOTTOM LINE: The car must be 100% in perfect running order to have a proper
tune done. It must not leak oil, misfire, or have any other mechanical/electrical
issues.
Electrical Issues
1.) make sure there are no shorts in any wiring, no loose connections, no exposed
conductors
2.) make sure that you have a properly functioning fuel pump and proper injectors
3.) make sure that you have a properly functioning alternator and battery
4.) make sure that there are no engine trouble codes present.
Mechanical Issues
1.) make sure the engine has good compression and cylinder to cylinder variance is within
spec. We can help you determine what your compression test results should be for your
combination before the dyno appointment.
2.) make sure that there are no fluid leaks of any type (brake, power steering, coolant,
fuel)
3.) make sure that the engine doesn't burn oil, or coolant
4.) make sure that all your IC clamps are tight and that couplers don't have holes. You
don't want a blow off during a dyno session.
5.) make sure you have brakes that work in case we need to drive the car after dyno
tuning.
6.) you may need cooler spark plugs, either bring them with you. I may have a set in
stock for your car. If you need spark plugs during, or after the tuning appointment, be
prepared for the cost if we are to supply them.
7.) make sure the clutch doesn't slip
8.) make sure that the drive train is sound, i.e. no bad cv joints, or u-joints, transmissions,
differentials, etc..
Other
1.) the car must have insurance and registration in case a test drive is required.
2.) we are not liable for damage to you, or your car due to any issue resulting from work,
use of products sold by, or tuning done by Speed Industry. By deciding to modify your
car you take responsibility for anything that may go wrong. If you don't like the sound of
that, then keep it stock.
On a final note, it just plain makes sense to be prepared when scheduling a dyno
appointment. If something is in question, just address the problem before, so that it
doesn't cause problems during testing.
Thanks
Speed Industry
