2010 Nissan 370z – UpRev / ARC

We got a call from a potential client all the way from Arkansas, we were in communication with him for a while trying to set up a date to come in. The weather (rain) was the issue that we needed to coordinate with him since he was driving from far away.  Last minute we decided to arrange the tune to happen on Saturday, move some cars around at the shop and we fitted him in.

Info and modification on this vehicle were:
2010 Nissan 370z 7AT
Test Pipes (AAM), CBE (Topspeed)
SRI (Topspeed) and PCV Delete
Test was done in 4th gear,ambient conditions were:
90F, 68% and 3028 baro pressure


Dyno jet comparison mode.


2015 Subaru WRX – Install and Calibration

Received this 2015 Subaru WRX that the client wanted to add some items to take the vehicle to stage2 status.
Client dropped it off to install a Invidia JPipe, Mishimoto Intake, Torque Solution EGR delete kit and finally a Cobb Tuning Accessport.

Here are the pics from the installation of the Jpipe and Intake as we are waiting for the EGR delete kit to arrive this week from the distributor.

The JPipe was a PITA as always one runs a chance of stripping or breaking one of the bolts that hold the oem JPipe to the turbo.




Cobb Tuning Accessport has been added to the mix and car is loaded on the rollers awaiting the EGR delete kit to arrive and then tuning session will begin.


2017 McLaren 570GT – Calibration session

2017 McLaren 570 GT was brought in to jump on the rollers this weekend.  First off we would like to thank the owner of Express Auto Saloon (Brandon) for giving us the opportunity to provide our AWD Dyno Dynamics for this calibration.

EAS flew in techs and calibrators from New Jersey to install upgraded Pure turbos onto the 570GT.  After the install of course it needed to be checked and mapped so on this hot summer day, the staff battled with ambient temps and was able to make some progress on the calibration.


2009 Infiniti G37 – UpRev / ARC calibration

Just another day in the hot box, but at least is not as miserable as in the days.  Tuning is mostly done at nights during the summer months for that reason.  Ambient temps were in the 86F, 55% humidity and baro was 30.02 that night.
We placed on the rollers a 2009 G37, seems that this vehicle was referred to us by a good friend of the shop that seems to be putting in some work in the mean streets of NOLA.
Special thanks goes out to Christopher for sending us yet another vehicle in need of our calibration and Randy W. for the referral as well.

Below are the before and after results from this calibration.

Above is dyno jet calculated numbers.


2003 Infiniti G35T – Haltech Platinum Pro

This car has been with us for quite a while now, practically a year. It arrived at our shop with the usual phrase, “I need a tune and can you get me correct.” Well this car showed up from been worked on by another shop in Texas which could not finish the project.

One thing lead to another and we saw a plethora of issues on this build. Starting from 2 low flowing injectors, we placed them on the test bench and confirmed that.  In came some FID1300 and that solved the fuel issue, but that was just the tip of the iceberg of issues that needed to be addressed before it could hit the rollers.
A build sheet of the motor and mods was sent by the client to us that indicated:
IPP Long Block (Wiseco Pistons/Eagle rods) with a JWT cams (motor capable of 650whp)
RPS lightweight flywheel
CJM Return fuel system
Stillen engine damper
Rerouted AC Lines
Z1 Motor mounts and radiator brackets
Radiator fans were upgraded
OEM Thermostat kit
Proper catch can kit was added
Haltech Platinum Pro
Fuel/Oil/pressure sensors along with a dual WB kit were added for engine protection
Haltech boost control kit was added and closed loop boost control was integrated.
Momentum Performance turbo kit, turbo upgraded to Garrett GT37

With the great care for details by our tech, this car was resurrected and now it starts, idles and performs to the
standards/expectations that client initially expected it to be.


Ambient conditions during the tuning session were:
85F, 70% humidity and 30.01 Baro
Tuned with Shell 93 octane.


2014 Nissan 370z (Nismo) – UpRev / ARC Flame

Was a late night calibrating and we waited for a client to arrive from the northern part of the state. With a good 4+hr drive we started the calibration process on this 2014 Nissan 370z (Nismo) 6MT at around 10:30pm.  Even this late in the evening the heat of LA does not forgive and we were faced with 91F, 50% and 30.03 to start the calibration.

Mods on the vehicle were Stillen GEN3 intakes, Headers, CBE and DP.


2016 Nissan 370Z – UpRev calibration

Got a chance to calibrate another Nissan, this time it was a 2016 370z 7AT edition.  Client wanted to maxime the WHP on the mods that he had installed in this vehicle.

The mods included a Stillen Gen 3 intakes, test pipes and muffler delete.

Ambient conditions at night were 84F, 52% humidity and 30.02 baro
Test/calibration performed in sports mode in 4th gear.

After the engine was optimized the finel numbers of the night were these:

Special thanks goes out to Dalton L. for the kind referral.


2011 Infiniti G37 – UpRev & ARC

The summer down here in NOLA tends to be rather brutal and with that said, calibration of vehicles have to moved to nights.  In comes a 2011 Infiniti G37 automatic transmission that has some mods and is needing a calibration of the engine right away.

Mods on this vehicle were:
AdminTuning Intakes / Z1 ported manifold / Ypipe / Test pipes / Tires 235.40.19
Ambient conditions – 86F, 72% and 30.20 baro

Vehicle came in and the guys were going right in to install the Intakes, after the intakes were installed the vehicle was loaded to the rollers were mapping needed to be done right away since these intakes and stock calbiration do not play nice together.

2005 Subaru Outback XT – APv3

Client from MS contacted us to help him calibrate his daily. This daily was a automatic transmission Outback with stage 2 mods in it, the turbo was swapped to a VF46.  He had some issues with the oem ebcs so we only were able to do 12psi tapering to 11psi of pressure.  In any case we managed to improve drive-ability and over all power delivery.

Mods: CNT TMIC, Cobb APv3, Snow Performance meth kit, Cobb SF Intake and turbo back exhaust.

Ambient conditions on the night of the tune were: 85F, 70% humidity and 30.05 Baro

Before and after the calibration chart.


2011 Infiniti G37S – UpRev ARC

We first tuned this vehicle back in February of 2017. Client came back since he had a ECU issue and needed to swap the ECU to another known working one. Once we did this we took the opportunity to add the ARC features to this 7AT vehicle. Other mods on this vehicle included Stillen Gen3 intakes, Test Pipes and CBE.

Well we got he car at 9pm on a warm Monday night, ambient temps were in the 86F, 49% humidity and 30.08 Baro.

After the engine was calibrated and we ended up making 298.8 WHP and if you like the dyno jet numbers that would be 334whp, we decided to add a Flame Map function to the ROM.
Client did not know we were doing this and when he saw the results he was very pleased and could not control his smile and content with how the car turned out.

Special thanks goes out to Jon at Z1 Motorsports for the assistance on this project.
