Learn To Tune Your Vehicles & Get The Most Power Out Of Them... Mechanically & NOT Via ECU's...
Lol, i see tuning as a means of improving the performance of the parts that are already in the car. So lets dive deeper shall we?
A carb 308, there is the mechanical adjustment of the timing via the dizzy, adjust the carbs valves, floats and needles and of course the cars idle. Checking he vacuume hose/s on the auto trans to make sure its getting the right information as when to change gears. And general maintenance to the engines vac hoses to make sure the carb is also getting the right information for fuel mixtures and oils, filters ect.
An ecotec V6, adjust the timing? Thats done through the ecu. Adjusting the floats and needles? Well thats all fuel injected now when it comes to fuel management so thats done through the ecu. Checking the vac hoses for the auto trans? Well, thats done via a signal wire now, run through the ecu. Not too many vac hoses on todays motors either so really TUNING is now done nearly all through the ecus.
When you get into the MECHANICAL side of it if you are reffering to cams, cranks, bearings, pistons, torque converters, clutches, manifolds, extractors, injectors and so on then thats not tuning. Thats upgrading the engines/cars componants, after which a tuning needs to take place to make sure they all work with each other properly to get the most out of eachother.
Now if you were a bonified tuner you would know all this and not make such stupid comments and challenge a respected members tuning knowledge and abilities. Ya wing nut.
