Pocono Legacy GT Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have just recently installed a turbo-back exhaust on my 05 LGT and need a tune. Does anyone know of any good tuners who I can send in my logs and create a Stage II map for me? I've been driving around for a week now :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieutenantcolumbo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 shamar is supposed to be one of the best. website:www.infamousperformance.net email:sales@infamousperformance.net tunes:infamoustuning@yahoo.com http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/infamous1-tuning-review-166345.html http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/else-loves-their-infamous1-tunei-140002.html?t=140002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocono Legacy GT Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, I already tried to purchase a tune from Infamous and things did not work out. I sent in money and never got anything, I E-mail and gets me nowhere. I need a different tuner, an other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieutenantcolumbo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I had a stage 2 tune from Mike at Tuning Alliance and it was pretty nice. But good things come to those who wait, and infamous1 is supposed to be the best for etunes, might just take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Shamar (infamous1) is very busy with tunes. I don't know how long you had to wait but I know folks are waiting a couple weeks for base maps and then about a week for updates. That's according those who are posting in this thread about his tuning. It's definitely worth the wait! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You could always drive to EFI Logics in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 BrenTuning is recommend by many and has shown some nice results but no personal experience. Clark Turner does e-tunes and is a very well known and long time Subaru tuner. For a dyno tune EFI is only about 2.5-3 hours from you and is likely your best bet though it will cost a bit more than an e-tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocono Legacy GT Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks for recommendations ya'll. I decided to go with Tuning Alliance as mentioned in this thread. Infamous might be good, but the service was terrible. Seemed to me to be a scam. It's a shame that they got such great reviews but communication and money transaction isn't clear. I'll update once I get my new tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock2534 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Poconos....that is pretty close by. Did you at least get your money refunded? It is not a scam, I think he is just doing the bulk of the etunes now for this site, plus it is not his full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasAyinde Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Go to http://www.romraider.com and look for a Stage 2 base tune. I'm running MickeyD's right now and tweaking it a bit while I wait for Shamar to get back to me. I like the power but I know that the Infamous tune will be better. I understand that he's busy so I'm going to be patient since the MickeyD map feels pretty good for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It is his full time job now. Thats how busy he is. 100 tunes in the last 3 months. 200 tunes in the last 6 months. Over 600 Subarus tuned now. He has had some personal turmoil for the past two months. Life throws you curves sometimes. He is working diligently to get caught up and back on track. But with so many tunes, that is a huge task. His tuning is not a scam. Far from it. I am not Shamar, I dont tune, but I am insulted that someone would insinuate that his work is such. No one has been ripped off. Any one not wanting to proceed after payment has either been refunded, or has been allowed to sell the tune in the classifieds. As always. $150 for a base map and 6 revisions is a great price (stage1 and 2 e-tunes). Such a great deal that the tuner gets overwhelmed sometimes.

Shello007 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Well PDX came to the rescue. Sent me an eTune. After installation however, power doesn't come on smoothly. In addition, there is hesitation and back fire or some form of back pressure. I checked A/F ratio and at one point maxed out at 20.3:1, that's mucho leano, right? Nothing ever works out for me.

m sprank Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thats so lean you might want to run a compression and leak down check now. Like burn a hole in a piston instantly, that lean. Is your FPR working. Line from manifold hooked up to FPR? Man, I cringe for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Go to www.romraider.com and look for a Stage 2 base tune.

I understand that he's busy so I'm going to be patient since the MickeyD map feels pretty good for now. Did you reinforce your IC? What are you tweaking? Thinking of doing that as well, but my IC is not reinforced yet. Already sent money to Shamar, just waiting now. Also still breaking in my clutch, so I'm driving like a pussy.

Shello007 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Man I'm scared too. Don't know what to do. Waiting for a response from PDX. I was waiting on Shamar,....car was going too long without tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shello007 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Anyone here good at interpreting logs? also, What exactly constitutes stage 3? Someone said I was Stg 3,all I have is 750cc injectors, fuel pump, a/m uppipe, gutted stock dp and VF 52. Intercooler is stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 OP 20.3:1 is probably just decel.. it's transient and it is normal. Post up a log. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSFW Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 "Stage 3" means different things to different people, which means that it means nothing at all. The "stage 1" and "stage 2" meanings originally came from Cobb's AccessPort tunes. The AccessPort is so popular that everyone adopted Cobb's definitions for those terms (even if most don't realize it ). But nobody's definition of "stage 3" has caught on in the same way. And yes, 20.3 is what everyone sees when their foot is off the gas (unless idling, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shello007 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Jared from PDX sorted me out. Thanks to Shamar who made contact too. I think ecu was getting used to the new tune. Definitely need some Brembos or Willwoods to stop this beast now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
