I was gonna go with Tom but I didn't wanted to deal with te hassle of datalogin but :s now I'm gonna have to do it about what tom said I did replaced my thermostat with a 180 degree one :a yeah but the thing is I already bought the advantage 3 software :s does anyone knows if I can sell it?
 
#108 ·
You can sell it but only to some one that has the same ECU code as you do and they would have to use your name if they ever had any issues and contacted SCT

If you choose to keep it and I do your tuning I can teach you a lot about using your software and give you a copy of your tune so you can open it and see what all is being done , you wont learn everything but you will understand a lot more on how things work if your interested , most tuners would NEVER send you an open copy of your tune file , I feel like you paid for the tune , Its yours

I learned a while ago you have to go where the reputation is with our cars, I tried a different tuner first and I gotlame results, car idled terribly and had misfire issues under boost. bout 2 weeks of datalogging and car runs great, my only downside is my catch can I need to weld a new fitting on to fit my hose end. also I have to do a leakdown test after xmas to make sure my head is bad. It smokes at first start up pretty bad

Well yeah this guys have good reputation here in ep I know they tune different cars they tune more like Hondas, supras, evos, subarus and what not but yeah I think he doesn't have that much experience with focuses
 
#111 ·
Yeah that's what I'm gonna do but I will have to save some money cause between the pro racer package and the tuner fees I spent like 750 dlls and I can't spend 550 more like right now :(
 
#113 ·
Jorge, your best bet and the best deal on the Focus is to go with Tom. He spent hours tuning my car. We must have done a couple hundred different tunes. I went from NA , with SVT header and bigger TB, to a Pro charger, back to NA, And Finally Turbo. The man knows the Focus. Trust Me. He`ll get your car squared away.

Haha me too ;) I plan on buying some slicks cause I don't see my drag radials getting traction lol and I'm installing next week the clutch my stock clutch is slipping already
 
#121 ·
Ok I have some updates I burn down my clutch :( it was the stock one, but I had a stage 2 exedy with lightweight flywheel waiting in my closet to be installed finally that day came and I just installed the clutch today its really touchy it grabs like a mofo lol now I'm saving to finish my tune but in the mean while I will do some suspension work ;)
 
#124 ·
Ok guy I have some updates not good ones but updates afterall lol I was gonna start with the tune again and guess what my sct xcal doesn't want to turn on I plug it in my obd2 port and the light goes on but it stays like that only the back light what should I do should I call sct? I'm not the original owner of the sct I bought it used but unlocked
And one more I went to the drags I was only spectating and I was like [:)][:)][:)][:)] it I'm gonna run it my best was a 15.3 @ 97 but my 60ft was 2.6 lol well my drs are bald but my car when is on wot it goes dirty dirty rich I was not happy but I run twice because there was a lot of dragsters my best was against a mustang Mach 1 his time was 14.7 @ 95 lol less trap speed than me and his 60ft were 2.3 i totally can go into the 13s when I finish my tune remember guys don't bash here in ep we are @ 3500ft over sea level

#127 ·
Ok guy I have an update I'm calling sct tomorrow to see what's up with my xcal but last Friday I went to the drags I bought some racing slicks not drag slicks but they did the job really good I bought some Hoosier r80 compound tires and I did hook up really good and I put the mafia on 5%leaner so on wot it wasnt too rich and my best run was 14.05 with a trap speed of 102mph and 2.1 60ft time, remember I live in el paso it's very high here like 4000ft above sea level, 05 mustangs gt with dra and boltons are running mid 14s I also defeat a crx gutted with 14.1.0 compression lsvtec @with 60shots of nitrous I'm very pleased with my times and looking forward to fully tune my car now :))
