Our customers in the past have been surprised by what our inspections have found, and we have saved money and motors on a few occasions. We also have a tuning checklist that you should review to make sure there are no issues that will prevent us from tuning your vehicle properly.Įven if you think the car is running well, or there are no leaks, we suggest these tests. This test is a good idea to let both parties know if going forward with the tune is a good idea, or how far the engine should be “pushed” when tuning it. This will tell us how mechanically healthy the engine is, and if it will hold up to the rigors of tuning and extra boost and power levels. This is our minimum suggestion prior to a tune.įor higher mileage cars, or cars that have extensive modifications, or were running a tune from a previous tuner, we suggest a Compression and Leakdown test as well. This is cheap insurance to make sure your tune isn’t affected or cancelled due to a leak. Large leaks can actually prevent the tuner from completing the tune. These leaks, even if they are minor, can affect the tune. Without this particular test there would be no way to know if you have any leaks, and most cars we see have at least one or two small leaks. This involves using a special machine to pressurize and then pump an inert smoke into the intake system, this will instantly show us any leaks present. The inspection will also include a Smoke Leak test. The vehicle will need to be driven on the road by our tuner to verify the tune is working properly at high RPM’s, so the safety of the car is imperative. We would check the engine bay, undercarriage, brakes, axles, tires, lines etc.

This would include our Tech looking over the car to make sure there is nothing that would make the car unsafe to tune on the road or the dyno. Prior to getting your car tuned we highly suggest a Pre-tune Inspection to be performed at our shop. We can then provide any suggestions for improvements to be made to make sure you get the most out of your tuning session. Our staff can also review your current modification list and go over any concerns you may have for part compatability, reliability etc. We can provide, and strongly recommend, a Pre-tune inspection for your vehicle to ensure that there are no issues prior to tuning. Yes, you can schedule a tune with us even if you have not previously received service from our shop. For instance it would be necessary for someone that has enhanced their vehicle with power upgrades not supported by off-the-shelf (OTS) COBB maps, such as turbo upgrades (both stock location and rotated turbo systems), fuel system upgrades, motor builds, cylinder head upgrades, hybrid engine conversions, etc.ĭoes Circuit Motorsports provide tuning for vehicles that have already been modified? A Protune/Custom tune would be necessary for vehicles modified beyond a companies OTS map parameters or if the car has been modified from stock and is still running a factory ECU or factory map. A completely custom tune will have advantages over an OTS tune including more power, better drivability, safer AFRs and in some cases better MPGs. This goes beyond the normal "OTS" or "Off-the-shelf" map provided by most handheld programmers or companies that reflash the stock ECU of a vehicle. Protuning or custom tuning is the process of creating a unique map for your vehicle based on it's modifications and needs. The tuning charge is slightly higher than Cobb and ECUtek tunes, as building and refining Open Source maps and flashing takes additional time, please ask us ahead of time about this service. Open Source tuning is offered for certain vehicles.

We have multiple options for tunes on this platform and pricing will vary depending on your needs and setup.

We can provide a comprehensive tune for your Haltech standalone equipped track car, racecar or streetcar. Haltech tuning is provided for vehicles requiring a tuning solution above the factory ECU of most vehicles. *(We can tune all models of these cars including GT, TR, Spec B, XT sports, Limited, etc.) Tuning is available for the following vehicles: If you would like multiple maps with different modes of operation, different octane levels or a Flex-Fuel tune we can provide these services at extra cost. We provide dyno numbers and graphs to you for reference.

This covers the custom tune, dyno time, map flashing and instruction on how to switch maps, etc. Custom Tuning rates start at $595 for a day's worth of dyno tuning and one octane map (93, 100, E85).
