  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Blood Type Racing ECU Tune

I was also curious about this however mines the v6 version I saw 1 review of someone who did the v6 and said that their car feels so much different in term of power gain. Although I’m not sure how I feel about ripping out my ecu and shipping it to them. Too much of a chance it could break during shipping and for a cost of 600 (after shipping) Seems too high risk high reward for me especially cause of the no refund policy. However if you live near the shop I’d say go for it id do it I just don’t live near the btr shop.
 
I brought my 4.6 out to them to do the tune on the dyno, and for $900, he got 19 BHP and 22 ftlbs more out of my 2011 4.6 with 140k. At 145K now my engine has started knocking. Took the valve covers off and everything looks good. Check the oil & no shavings... I very rarely every stepped it to the floor all the way, but after researching more into these engines, this seems to be a common things something major go wrong with a connecting rod and the engines junk. I'm going to pull the engine and take it apart and figure out what is making such a loud knock, see if the engine can be saved. But I don't think the tune had anything to do with the engine going out, but who knows. I tune Saab cars for fun, and the tuning programs have checksum equations that basically prevent someone from making a damaging tune. This guy that owns the BTR shop did the tuning himself. He has awards hanging all over his office for his achievements, so I highly doubt anything he did negatively affected the engine. But to make a long story short, the Canned tune listed would be probably the same profile, or maybe even the exact profile he saved, because he didn't have a 4.6 tune saved at the time and not many people think to make their car any faster. I would just get the "Canned tune" because it will be the same gains that I got, which was quite noticeable.
 
I've been running the original btr tune for 5 years now and have no issues at all .
