The idea behind tuning

tuning is way over my head, i have mad respect for sasha for that great display of knowledge!!

this is gonna be a stupid ? i know it!

if you put cold air, header and exhaust, should u get ur ecu tuned, or not worth it for such small mods. what mods require you to tune and what mods can u add and still run fine on a stock ecu? when you add a turbo you have to tune it right? u can’t just drop a turbo in and expect it to work, or can you?

yea i am a noob to tuning. i know how a turbo works and the basic functions, but as for installing and making work, phf. some day i would like to go sr or ka-t.

being my first 240, i’m still learning(mad thanks to anyone who’s helped me out), alot of u guys have gone through 2-3 of these cars already and know ur way around them. import tuning is a new thing to me, i love my 240, best car i’ve ever owned. i’d just like to know what i’m doing b4 i do it!!!

OLD, but exactly what I’m thinking… I’m trying to save up for a first car, hopefully a S13 Coupe and I think I have a pretty good knowledge of what does what and how (better this year cause Gr.11 auto class is more “in-depth” :)). Right now I’m removing a 3.3L engine from a crappy '92 Grand Am and then maybe overhauling it, so I’m sure I’m going to learn a lot more from that… After reading this thread though, I know I better buy some books and stuff cause I know nothing about EMS tuning and I better learn before I get into tuning anything :study:
