Keep a spare motor in your garage if you think a G-Tech will allow you to tune a car to equivalent performance as a car tuned on a dyno.  |
G-tech vs. Dyno has little to do with blowing the motor IMHO. It is about knock sensors, air/fuel, and O2! Also, G-Tech@Altitude(current), Dyno@Altitude(Sac).
I'm not saying I won't have professional assistance or Dyno tuning, just that having the additional tools listed would allow for fine tuning based on conditions, etc. A couple pulls on a Dyno <> weeks of monitoring and tweeking... You don't think Subaru built the stock maps in 3 pulls, do you? |
No, I bet Subaru used more like 10,000 pulls on a dyno to get the stock maps. Then they drove it for months. Then they
put it back on the dyno to tweak it.
And unless G-Tech has a product newer than the RR, I don't think it can monitor and display a boost curve, timing corrections, EGT, A/F ratio, RPM, Speed, knock events, etc. It's not like it hooks to the ECU.
G-Techs (esp. the new RR) are good for handling tweaks, IMO. I'd use it in conjuntion w/ in car video to figure out what sections of the track I'm wasting traction on, and where I'm not being smooth enough. Not for engine tuning.
