So far the car feels great, its so much more lively now. I'm noticing that I am using less pedal input to get up to speed; the lower part of the revband (3000-5000 rpm) has a substantial increase in torque. I also find myself shifting at lower rpms and I've noticed that although I have ran the car hard for the dataloging that I'm still returning better mpg figures than before the etune. -Carey L.

Thanks, E-Tunez team! Tuned to perfection, and that repeating log-flash-log-flash cycle is ideal for catching all the little nuances for the way I drive. The very first map brought it to 'safe under boost'. Much more convenient than taking the car somewhere to get it tuned, like the dealer (shudder), or even a dyno.

I took my 2011 Si hotrod out for a short road trip today after the final flash, it was great on the freeway. Oh, and it cold-started much better this morning. And traffic in town is actually fun. I don't get cut off. "I'll just cut in front of this little civic"...yeah, right, didn't happen, did it?! ( I can see them in my rear-view mirror, looking to make sure it was a civic!) [heh] -Les.

When i first loaded a basemap from FlashPro, i was hooked. Flashpro made my driving experience much more fun. after my tune from Rulo, it stepped up a level. The basemap supplied by hondata was an improvement, but the car performed very harsh, you could feel where in the powerband you were experiencing non linear power. The crossover at vtec was very rough and at times as the car accelerated, it would have a jerky feel of power, as a result of the FlashPro base tune, I lost mpg's. I decided to get a tune for my car because its my daily driver. I wanted my mild performance mods to shine without sacrifcing power, mpg's, longevity, etc. thats when I received an email from Rulo asking me to start datalogging.

The communication by Rulo was fantastic, any questions I had, he would answer by email in less than 24 hours. I usually sent a datalog once a week, and he responded quickly. From the first revision to the last was awesome. I could feel the car performing smoother from every revision (6 total). The vtec transition is seamless, no power spiking anywhere in the powerband, did i mention the car felt smooth? The powerband is much more daily driver friendly. Where I live, there are lots of hills so im on and off the gas all the time. The throttle response is instantaneous! I feel much more torque at less throttle load which is perfect for my driving habit. My next step is a larger custom intake, so I will be back to see what Rulo can extract out of that! Thank you once again Rulo and the Etunez team! -Josh C.

Hello, I would like to thank everyone on e-tunez, phonomenal job in my 08’ Sedan Si. Thank you very much for your help and your attention, E-tunez answered and posted revisions EVERY DAY, Saturday, Sunday.. doesn’t matter what day is! I have a lot to say, but i will resume in a few words.. E-tunez is the best and that’s all. -Thiago L. –SiClub Brazil

Well guys, just have to say that the work you do is unbelievable. My tuner just completed tuning my stock si and the outcome has gone way beyond my original expectations. First the power the car puts out is outstanding. I had no idea that you could get these results from a completely stock car. Its not like it has turned into a race car now but with its new found torque and hp it is so much more fun to drive. From just daily driving 2 to 4k rpm it accelerates faster and has more torque to make engaging first gear from a stand sill a breze. It doesnt bog down any more. In the high end it is all together a lot quicker and transitions between gears better. Customer service is the best out of any company i have dealt with in ages. Steve answered all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns quickly and politely. Also turn around time on my revisions was never more than a day which was great. You have something new to look forward to every morning ! My car did deliver some unexpected software problems but my tuner stuck with the tune untill he made it perfect. It took a few more revisions than what was included in the package i purchased but he did not let me go untill everything in my tune was safe and delivered what i expected.. I cant say enough great things about E Tunez and the way they do business.. Thank you guys for all you have done for me and my car. I will definitely be back to retune as i continue to mod my car. i cant thank you enough!! I hope you all have a great holiday and i hope to do business again soon.  -Justin J. (FlashPro Civic Si NA Stock)

I've been running the map of the final revision for the past week and I just have to say it runs ridiculously good! I thought the basemap off of Accesstuners ran great but MAN, this is how the car should of ran from factory. Power is everywhere whenever you need it, even when you don't Smile The throttle is a lot more controllable and the revs don't linger in between shifts anymore. The car also seems to be getting better gas mileage. Thanks Steve for the great work! Whenever I get new mods, I'll definitely be hitting you guys up for more! -Julian Y. (FlashPro Civic Si NA)

I was looking for someone to tune my 06 Honda S2000, and had e-tunez recommended to me. I checked out their website, and found that they only had R18 and K20 listed for current tuning packages. So I used the Contact Us link and asked if they supported the Honda S2000 (F22c). Steve quickly responded to my mail and said he’d be happy to look at my datalogs. He asked for a list of mods on my car, and my location. From there, he told me that I’d be the first S2000 he’s done.

Customer service is second to none! I cannot overstate the level these guys are at. My questions were always answered in detail, and I was given a very good idea of what to expect during the process of e-tuning. The process and methodology is very well thought out and logical. Once we started the revision/log process, it moved along quickly. Steve had new revisions back to me quite often within 24 hours of me sending him the logs. I call that outstanding!! Along the way, with the emails and notes that accompany the new revisions, all the changes being made were explained very well. Their customer service is exceeded only by their tuning ability.

Going in, being a different motor I was told that initially we’d be getting a baseline for where it was at, and would be making small changes from there. The first map revision I got was a huge improvement over stock. Several revisions were made, then Steve re-indexed my ignition and fuel tables completely. You could instantly tell that he’d hit really close to the mark. Throttle was crisp, and the motor was smooth. So much so, I’d find myself running more rpm than usual, just because it was so much smoother. He moved the vtec crossover a bit from where it was stock to find the ideal crossover point. Where vtec used to spike and give that little kick when it hit the high cam, is gone. The car just pulls and builds power progressively from the low cam to the high cam. Anyone who tracks their car will appreciate this. Building power so smoothly and quickly now, it’s deceptively fast. Ask about the JDM throttle map also…you’ll be glad you did.

During the process, my intake temps were really high and Steve suggested I get an Injen CAI. This helped the tuning it quite a bit due to the lower intake air temps. Once I had the CAI installed, he sent me a revision that was very close. The last few revisions were just dialing in the fine points, and the final revision is right on the mark. My LTRIM and STRIM are +/- ~3% and my mileage is actually over what it was stock. Strong and safe AFRs that let the car pull like a freight train WOT all the way to redline compared to stock.

They have made a world of difference in how the car feels. You won’t believe how much Honda left on the table, especially in terms of drivability. Gone is the Jeckel & Hyde personality of being on the low/high cams. Just a crisp, responsive power delivery across the rpm range. E-tunez offers outstanding technical ability combined with excellent customer service. The ease of the e-tuning process and the results far exceeded my expectations. If you have an S2000 that’s stock or not, get a FlashPro, then get in touch with e-tunez!!! -Keith (FlashPro S2000 NA)

I had the pleasure of working with Steve at E-Tunez to tune my ’08 Civic Si Coupe. The end result was that my car drove totally different in comparison to factory configurations. The difference was AMAZING! Throttle response was improved greatly and is noticeable immediately. Fuel mileage so far seems to be an improvement which is definitely a bonus considering that engine power is increased as well. Even though our 2.0litre 4-cylinder engines have very little low and mid-range torque, daily driving has been made a whole lot easier. Compared to before, you don’t need to rev up the engine as much to get up to traffic speeds! This is how the Civic Si should have been like from the factory. Would I recommend getting a tune by Steve from E-Tunez to anyone else? The answer is yes. -Andrew H. (FlashPro)

First, I want to say that Dan excels when it comes to being understanding and knowledgeble. My work schedule was hectic during the times I was getting tuned,he told me no worries take your time and be safe. My Supercharged beauty is a beast now. I used to have hard starting issues and a lack in low end power with the basemap I ran, but not anymore. Dan adjusted things slightly to gradually up the power and reliabilty, and keep me abrupt of everything that was going on from beginning to end. When I began this project, I could only afford the bare neccesities so I felt that tuning was okay with just a basemap NOT SO. The car even in different conditions ran horrible but since Dan at E-tunez came to the rescue i'll never drive another car without his tune in my ECU. Thank you Dan for helping me with through some tough times and with making a wise descison. GO E-TUNEZ!!!! -Grady (FlashPro Supercharged)

I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the incredible help I got with tuning my car. When I stumbled upon the website I would have never guessed that my experience was going to be like it was. After providing a list of my mods and an initial calibration that I was running VitViper was able to return my first tune within hours of receiving my info. The term night and day doesn’t give it justice! He has turned my car into an animal. I truly don’t believe you could get better service anywhere else! -Nick (FlashPro)

Just want to take the time to thank Steve on the great job he did for my car. He gave me a tune that felt great right off the bat. After the first two updates the car was already feeling smoother and quicker. My MPGs also started to get better. Steve's replies were quick and never told me anything about taking days/week to reply with new datalogs (even though he should've). Overall the experience was great, the car runs 100% better. The car is smooth throughout the rev range. Vtec kicks in smoothly at 4500 and pulls to the 8500 redline.

I recently took a trip to Colorado from Los angeles. 800 miles one way. I traveled at a steady 85mph pace or above and I averaged 32 mpg on my whole trip. I was never able to do this when I was stock.

Thanks a lot Steve, I appreciate your help. I will return to you when I update my mods. -Galaxygrey13 (flashpro) Knowmyhonda.com enthusiast

I thought I'd take a few minutes at share my experience with E-tunez.com with everyone.

I recently had my go-power custom header and 3" full race exhaust installed. After uploading a base map I knew that it wasn't going to cut it, and after shelling out a pretty penny for that custom header I wanted to get my money's worth. I believe I saw the ad for e-tunez in Jay's sig so I decided to look into them. After reading through their site I decided to go with the ultimate package since my car is my daily driver and I wanted to retain maximum drivablity and hopefully regain some mpgs.

After paying for the package I was emailed by Steve (BV1) within the hour with a few questions regarding what modifications I have, what tuning device I was using, and if I was already using a map. He also requested a 30 minute datalog of normal driving as well as a 3rd gear pull. My power mods at the time were: CT-e intake, TBS & gaskets, IMG gasket, custom go power header, 3" full race exhaust.

I sent Steve my list of mods, the calibration I was currently using and the datalogs. The next day Steve sends me his initial calibration for my setup. Believe me when I say the difference was night and day right off the bat. Throttle response increased, seamless vtec crossover, all bucking gone, and the car just wanted to go go go when I smashed the gas. I was amazed! The next 3 revisions went the same way; 30 minute data log and a couple of 3rd gear pulls. Each revision the car just got better and smoother. With the last 4 revisions the time datalogging increased to an hour worth per log and included 3rd gear pulls. The longer the datalog and the more varied the driving conditions the better.

After revision 8 I mentioned to Steve I was thinking about installing a CAI since I was unhappy with my high IATs. Steve was warm to the idea and sent me another revision to use after I installed the CAI. After installing the CAI and doing another hour worth of logging and a few pulls, Steve sent me my final revision. The car drives great and I couldn't be happier with what I've received. My AFRs are spot on, my s.trims vary between +/- 3 while remaining at near zero most of the time, I regularly get 27 mpg with 100% city driving (have yet to try highway), and I put down 214hp/170tq with my CT-e intake(have yet to plot the CAI). The quality of the product and customer service went far above what I was expecting. Steve took the time to answer all of my noob questions and even offered some insight to an unrelated problem when asked. If anyone is up in the air on where to get an e-tune from, do yourself a favor and go with folks at e-tunez.com. You definitely wont regret it. -khronox (FlashPro)

Dan has recently finished my etune - and I have to say WOW!  It's really a night and day difference, especially when I tried the old GroupN map during this weekend for comparison purposes. The car is very smooth now and pulls subjectively much stronger now which is also objectively proven by the edyno... I would like to thank you for your perfect work and will probably be looking for some possible future cooperation again :^) -Jan (FlashPro FN2)

I want to take the time to say thank you very much once again.  You completely woke up the beast in my car and made it very fun to drive again.  I appreciate your time in fine tuning every aspect of my car.  I will def be a returning customer as well as refer others!  E-Tunez is awesome! Thanks a bunch! -Ihazvtec (FlashPro)

WOW ! Christmas came early this year for the Si. That map, I dont know what changes you made, but its insane. After 6000rpm it pulls like crazy and down low it has more grunt as well. This is how my Si should have come right off the lot! Its like a whole new car. You seriously work some Si magic!  -08CivicMan (AccessPORT)

E-tunez = best solution for tuning your car, period! I have spent countless days with my local tuner trying to get the car tuned to my expectations. He still couldn’t get the tune I was looking for. At times my car felt sluggish, ran rich, or had hesitation. I was very frustrated with my car as to how it drove, after putting a lot of time, work, and money into supercharging it. I took a look on e-tunez website, sent a quick email explaining what I was looking for and Vit replied within the day. He told me everything he would do for me. From the start I knew he was doing more than my current tuner. He even took the time to explain everything to me. It was exceptional customer service from the start and we never even started the tune yet. I trusted him because he sympathized what I wanted and he tuned my car like it was his own vehicle. From the base map he sent me my car felt like night and day versus my old tune. He explained the procedures and I went out to datalog them. It felt like he was right there as well tuning my car. I would send the logs back and he would fix what was needed and revised the calibration until it was perfect. My car feels and drives like a stock car but with more power and torque due to it being supercharged and getting the full benefits from it. I am very happy with the tune and e-tunez customer service. I should have went with these guys right from the start! -a1j7g (FlashPro Supercharged)

The final revision feels so so strong, it feels like it should! I used to get a pretty good blip in power around 6300 RPM its just so so smooth now i cannot describe it, your changes were for the better!  -JEA86 (FlashPro)

----------

WOW when driving normal the car felt so good that i couldnt even believe it, litterally for a second i thought something was wrong cuz it felt sooo much better, and it felt nice driving a few miles and not having to see bars dissapear on my gas meter.  -Fre$h si (FlashPro)

"My experience with e-tunez is phenomenal. They did an incredible job with my tune. They will not stop until the tune is safe and perfect. I would highly recommend e-tunez to anybody looking for a custom tune. My car is faster, smoother and more responsive. Thank you!!"  -Samiglite (AccessPORT/FlashPro)

"I am happy with the experience. I’m glad you were willing to work with the
different elevations and put up with me only being able to get 1 pull a day
at 6000ft. When I first installed stage 2 with the base map I was unsatisfied.... the tune changed that, I now feel the upgrade was worth it."  -EuphoricRhythm (FlashPro/CT-e Supercharged)

----------

"Just got done driving it around town and I'm love'n it! Pulls like a mother in the higher rpm and feels torquey in the lower. By far the best map that's been on the car. You made me a happy man. Thanks!!!"  -Reedjor1 (AccessPORT)
