Travel Tuning

When traveling to our shop for a tune is not an option, we fly to our customers. Last week Hal was down in Houston, TX breaking in a new VQ35. Ernie (aka Niceguy on the forums) has been hard at work in the garage, outfitting his G35 coupe with a new built 3.5L vq35de, SFR twin 60-1 turbo kit, plenum spacer, valve-body upgrade, Precision injectors, return fuel system, custom 3″ exhaust, Haltech dual widebands, and of course a Haltech Platinum 350z ems. After break-in tuning and driveability tuning it was time for the fun part - power tuning. The first dyno run was just shy of 400whp and it was not long until we hit his 500whp goal. Impressive horsepower through the Nissan automatic. Due to high intake air temperatures with the SFR intercoolers (160+°F) we decided to stop here and a more efficient intercooler is in the works. With the tune and the dual widebands at work, the owner was impressed that the car ‘truly drives like stock’.
