is there a way too tell if my car has been tuned?
I tried searching but couldn't find my answer. Is there a way too see if my car has been tuned without going to a tuner? I bought it with stillen intakes, high flow cats and a nismo exhaust. It runs great and I'm curious if it has had a custom tune or not after breather mods. Thanks

those bolt ons you probably dont need a tune but it would definitely squeeze a few more ponies out! |
You can try switching maps( Cruise Button UPREV) but not know what each on is may be problematic?

I would just take it to a shop that uses uprev and let them see whether or not you have a tunable ROM on there.

There really isn't another way -- even an OBD reader won't be able to tell. You need a cable and software. Odds are a shop won't even charge you to check. |
Here's what u do. 1. Go to the crusie control toggle hold it down 2. Press the on/off button 1 2 3 or 4 times while holding down the toggle 3. Let go and see if the cruise control light blinks if not then ur stock if u do its uprev most likely

That said, my guess is that he isn't tuned. OP might also search the car for an uprev cable in glove box or center console -- that would almost definitely mean a tune is on there. |

Hold down the cruise cont flat knob and press the "cancel" button and let go of the knob. Try that pressing cancel twice and try 3 times. Usually once is your performance/Eco, 2 is valet and 3 is kill start.

Once you let off the Set/decel button after pressing cancel button, your cruise control light will flash the same number of times that the Cancel button was pressed.

I posted this in a similar thread but figured I'd ask you guys that were helping me out a couple months ago as well...
So I've been meaning to check this on my car for awhile and finally did today when I got home, in neutral in the garage. Bought the car last december. I tried the ecuteck instructions first, nothing. Then the uprev instructions and it blinks back. Cruise control blinks back how many times I clicked cancel so I'm assuming I'm tuned with uprev. Cruise control has worked fine. Now I'm worried because I don't know what map I was in and don't want to put it into a map that might hurt something. Do I have anything to worry about? From researching it looks like the most common maping is: 1: Tuned Map for 91 Octane 2: Tuned Map for Higher Octane 3: Valet 4: Anti-Theft 5: Factory Maps Is there a way to verify if this is my setup? What else should I know? Also I bought the car in Florida and brought it to utah, would the tune not be as good now? I've been very happy with the power and performance of the car, hope I don't f that up now lol. Thoughts? |
U more than likely did. Lol

Because cars can be tuned to different gasoline octanes you don't know what it was tuned to. Best thing is. Take it in to get tuned to your specifications and know what's what

U already own the license so that's a plus. But if it were me I'd run the highest octane found in the area of Florida and go through each map a running the car feeling for the difference
