WTK: EVO 9 Wagon - do i need to get it tuned? PICS POSTED

[don-dada]

I brought in a Evo 9 wagon from japan, wanted some advice, do i need to get it 'tuned' ? I am planning to keep it stock for the while, so is it necessary? also if i have to get it tuned, who do u all recommend?

And around what is the average cost to get it tuned? thanks

[crazybalhead]

Some will say yes, some will say no. I've been driving evo's for seven years now, two of them. No tune.

A tune will give more power, but I don't think any real harm will be done without.

And now the harbingers of doom will tell you about horrible engine knock with no tune...

^^^lol preach it
the first real gain from tuning is savings in gas as Evos run VERY rich from factory
From leaning, and being bogged with so much extra gas, you also gain some decent power

BTW, Pics of waggan???

To answer the question at hand,

No, you dont need to do anything. However, stock evos tend to knock on local gas, some more than others. I've seen as much as 12-15 counts on stock boost, stock tune. Above 10 can be considered dangerous over the medium-long term, above 20 is dangerous in the short term. That being said, ive also seen stock evos with no more than 5-6 counts. It really depends on the particular car.

What I would recommend is having the car logged, seeing how the car is running and then moving forward from there. If safety is ure goal and not ultimate power, that can be done in one session.

Yes, and you've been very lucky. And you also drive very calmly.

It never hurts to check how the car is running... I offered to do it for you for free as a friend.

This looks a lot like the one I saw today in Port of Spain.
PCU ****, driving westbound by city gate and a few car lengths behind a police on a bike. Car looks sweet, sounds sweet and defiantly moving. I love it.
