3 Different Methods for Tuning a Car [4k]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лис 2017
- There's a few different ways that people can tune their car. Piggyback ECU's, Flash Tuning, or Standalone tuning. I've found that a lot of people don't know the difference between these methods and the benefits or drawbacks of each choice. So we decided to make this video in partnership with Cobb to explain the 3 primary methods that people use to tune their cars. Hope you enjoy!

My three methods are plasti dip, air filter and taking out the spare tire for weight reduction.
Sensei Joshu nah that’s rice
@@zanpy8600 no dude, every sticker adds 10+ bhp and the big exhaust is to vent the excess V-takk++ and the spoiler so you get more lift like a jetfighter.
K G don’t forget to do a muffler delete to gain 3 horsepower
Add some stickers too... That will also help in winning at red light race.
hey screw you man, when you race another guy with the same car the spare tire and tools make a difference lmaooo
One of the most underrated channels on UA-cam, you guys deserve millions! You guys create one of the best automotive content. Period. Keep up the great work!
it's a great channel with great content, but they only upload once every 1-2 weeks wich isn't enough to gain subs quickly
Thank you. I don't understand it myself.
The Real Santa Claus QUALITY>>>QUANTITY
IKR!!!!!!!
Swap Game yeah, but just quality wont get you anywhere, you need both to grow properly
I seriously thought the escort was an s15 silvia
Dovydas Grigas same
same
I thought it was an s15 too lol.
Me too haha!
Glad I'm not the only one
This channel will be multi million subscribers, glad I found it early.
Jon .D yep
Same
Agreed
Yea just wish they uploaded more.
Humbly Driven yea same, but for now I'll take the quality over quantity.
I believe this is simply the best automotive channel on youtube due to the high Quality on the videos and they really explain things simply and understanding. Also gears and gasoline shows the real passion for cars through the videos they make. Keep ut the good work.
This video couldn’t of dropped at the perfect time, tuning makes so much more sense to me now!! I recently installed my catback exhaust and a new cold air intake so a tune was always in the back of my mind for that next step on my 2013 Scion FRS
THANK U SO MUCH!!
Yet again, ya'll have made another great piece of work. This is one of the most under-rated channels tbh
Keep up the good instructive videos
This is my new favorite UA-cam channel. Best thing I found on UA-cam in 2017. Hands down.
I had the JB1 on my 2016 Golf R and loved it! Amazing power and George from Burger Motorsports was a joy to work with. I now have their JB4 on my 2019 Type-R and its even better thanks to the bluetooth functionality with their app. You can monitor several digital gauges, data log and switch maps on the fly...it's phenomenal and best part again is there is no flash or checksum file left behind on your factory ECU ;b Cobb is a great option too but their OST maps are really prevalent to knock, at least on the Subaru and Evo platform. Pro tunes are definitely the way to go for this route.
Very informative video! Always killing it with the great video quality too!
Good videos guys. Definitely felt like I was watching top gear or something similar! The angles and edits were smooth
Absolutely love the video. As always, great content!
excellent cinematography and editing guys. Content is also thumbs up. I still have dtec and gameboy in my box of old car parts somewhere from Turbo XS
So happy this channel is growing, one of the best on youtube
The way your videos are edited are amazing. Keep it up guys
Thank you. This video was put really well together and it was really helpful.
Excited every time I see a new video come up on my feed!
Great video, I was actually searching for tuning methods as in street tuning vs dyno tuning, etc. Are you planning on making such a video? Thanks!
Major respect for the quality of these videos.
Incredible video production and post production. You guys rock.
What a great video! Big Thumbs up.
... I do remember the days of having to actually do work to cars to make them fast. It's incredible how far the computer controllers have come along...
This is a such a good channel. I am like in 5th video in a row. Just discovered. Love you.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels
Another great video. you guys will be a big channel in no time!
Something about the style of videos on this channel which is so awesome! We want more!
Nice.. I'm currently learning to tune... I have the hptuners software but I have someone else write my tunes for me ..and that can get expensive over a short period of time so it's really to our advantage if you're going to be a car enthusiast in the future and you want to make power... learn to do it yourself
I started to get interested in this whole tuning stuff
I always thought that you have to replace some parts off the engine etc to tune
Man this channel is great
Awesome vid guys! Keep up the good work!
Guys, you are awesome! Love you channel and vids.
I'll check out what's available for my GTO soon. Like nearly everything else, it will probably have aftermarket support based solely in Australia.
Cars Simplified Don't be so sure mate: the motor is a crate LS GM Lump. If anything, you might have better luck in the States.
Haltech
Waiting for my AP to arrive super excited.
Very good information you guys are doing great job!
Its nice to see cars that most people don't modify like this escort. Dare to stand out and be different.
Did you just call a golf r and escort?
@@notagt4103 Did you watch the video?
@@weilandcock yes I did
@@notagt4103 then you must be stupid if you asked that question and you watched the video 💀
WEN U LIKE G&G SO MUCH YOU COME AS SOON AS IT UPLOADS
Great informative video, good job
great work enjoyable video! can you do one for cars that dont have ecus? like how to tune carbs or how to tune other engine internals?
i thought this channel had like 2 million.. wtf they deserve so much more.. theyre making million subscriber videos
Wait... when did you guys hit 117k subs? Im proud of this channel's future :)
Boi well look at them now
I'd like to thank Gears & Gasoline for everything they do.
Just wonderful, been searching for "how to add more torque to a car" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Vabrielbey Vehicle Verifiability - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
The quality of these videos always astonish me!
Love this. That place is like 40 mins from me maybe have to check them out.
Sorry I couldn’t help you guys with this! But awesome work as usual :)
I agree, COBB makes quality parts and the versatility of the accessport is incredible tool. I would suggest anyone who is new to tuning to give Cobb a call, their customer service is second to none too✌
Do they make them for all cars?
This guy was great glad you guys found him.
Love the vids keep going
The only way to tune is to jb weld a blown single cam honda engine (non vtec) together and run 40 pounds of boost on it like a normal person
Great vid!
Maryland’s car scene is kind of underrated, I’ve met some serious people there. The Honda scene is mainly dominated by NY and MD (seen some nasty civics) , not trying to start anything here lol. Dude that silvia looking escort is neat, better than the silvia actually. I’m on a hunt for a supra mk3, the white high hp one you reviewed gave me chills. We will meet one day brothers!
damn, that Golf is sexy
K0TJI 3T4 hell yeah it is. It’s the best hot hatch on the market
Golf and sexy don't even belong in the same sentence, unless we are talking sexy golfer chicks.
Regardless of where I may be from - FWD and performance cars just don't mix.
Best regards from Munich ^^
JxG Der hat Allradantrieb.
+Theismarcel Jo schon, aber basiert immer noch auf nem Fronttriebler. Und die ganzen GTI's sind pure Fronttriebler... blargh. Wer meint des is wurst soll einfach mal paar Monate nen Hecktriebler fahren. Danach willste höchstwahrscheinlich nie wieder Frontriebler. Einfach völlig anderes Fahrgefühl.
Und so richtig sexy is nen Golf nun mal auch nicht, egal wie sehr man ihn pimpt... aber is natürlich alles Ansichtssache.
JxG Golf R is a 4 wheel drive
You guys need to click bait more. I normaly hate clickbait because the ones that click bait dont deserve the millions of views they get. You guys deserve every single view
I like the Cobb access port as well. Unfortunately they don't make it for a lot of cars.
Wish i could double subscribe, great content!
That golf sound amazing :D
Flash tuning has been out for a while on the Golf R with various flashing cables and tuners using it
That golf R is beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much. So hard to find tuning for dummies videos
Jermaine has tuned a couple of my friends cars. Dude is a beast
Any idea on the suspension/ wheel spacer setup on that R. It looks perfect.
Ive been looking everywhere for a video like this, ive asked around no one will share any kind of info this topic.
I've been up on MegaSquirt since day one! MS for the win!
Great info
I Like that golf . Very Nice car 💪🏽
Nice video quick question I have a 2013 old gen with APR stage 2 with AWE track back and was thinking going APR stage 3 but a lot of people are saying get the APR bigger turbo but go with a different tune to get more options and power can you give me some suggestions thanks
Does an equivalent of the JB4 exist for the Hyundai I30 diesel 110hp 2018?
I know it exist for the I30N and for some BMW diesel, but for mine, I've not find any that seems to be right...
2 question from Italy 🇮🇹
First one:
I'm not sure of that, but in all these case you can only modify the ECU changing the code with a new pre-written code and you can't access at single parameters changing them as you want wright?
Second one
How can you be sure that the mechanic contest is robust enough to support the increase of power ?
Hopefully they'll extend it to the MK5 and MK6 Golfs would love a cobb accessport for my MK5
I really want to get the Cobb Access Port for my STI, but I paid for the factory warranty and I want to keep it.
What's best for my 02 vw jetta with the 2.8 glx vr6 engine? I want more take off, more boost and more power. Mine is not the turbo. But will be turb boosted in 2 months. What's best for me to use right now so I can bring to a shop to get it done? I currently have straight headers, straight pipe and cold air intake. Not much of anything but I want more out of my beefy engine
I have a cold air intake and catback exhaust. Can I tune it myself with just a laptop and some software? I mean the mods ain't much but it's certainly taking in air and dispersing exhaust on a level the ECU wasn't programmed to, so a tune will bring out the most of what I have. I just wish I knew more.
Lol the new cobb access for the mk7 R is awesome. But you can't forget about APR when talking volkswagen.
I gotta 93 240 hatch and I fully built my ka24. Cams, turbo and injectors etc. people are telling me I can’t use my stock ecu to reflash.besides standalone, what would my other options be?
I have a few question for you. From where did you get those wheels, how much have you paid for them and are those 4x100?
Interesting vid actually!! I have a non turbo naturally aspirated. Would a simple/standard tuning kit help I wonder. I dont like the gear ratio of 1st gear to second . Its far too short a range if you get me. Well I mean I need 1st gear to be diffetent in some way,,,,longer or something. It just aint right. But then second to third gear is great etc 😎.... my car sucks but its all I got haha. But for now Id rather upgrade this uno. I like my car. Its fun to upgrade a car.
Good vid man. I know this is left field but - woyld you say satin or glossy finish is best on alloys. (See told ya!)
yo great video. is that golf R stock?
Can we have a video on the three most important supporting mods for tuned vehicles ? Most people will Stage 2 tune a car on stock rubber.
See I got the JB4 for my Golf R, just because the car is still under warranty. And if we take it to VW, they can see that we did a flash tune. Might get something like Cobb after the warranty is up
Hey, i have a 1994 caprice. It comes with 200 horsepower from the factory. Id like to increase that power just a little so i can have a little bit more fun. But i dont know anything about tuning and the car is just too nice to start replacing hardware. Should i get a standalone ECU to achieve this? My goal horsepower would be 250-300. But i dont know if just a tune could manage this. Any opinions? (The caprice is OBD1 by the way)
trying to find a way to tune my 1990 vw corrado g60 would like to add a few things but I want to be able to tune it before I do it. Its got an obd1 port so I cant tune it with a hand tuner and cant find any piggy or standalone tuners for it. would really appreciate it if you could help me out.
My mans Jermaine!! He tuned my legacy!
Would you recommend a Cobb flash tuner for a 323i bmw?.
Does tuning void your vehicle’s warranty? Does it also impact reliability? Thinking of doing this to my Nissan 370Z
Wish you spoke about whichever one throws a TD1 code which voids warranties. Can we get more details??
What about carb tuning, chip tuning, what about an extra injector hooked up to a hobs switch and welded on to the intake? Those three types of types of tuning.
Best way to tune your car: pay someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you
i don't see what's wrong with people willing to learn something and work on their car themselves
Lone Rider You can cause irreparable damage to the ECU just by winging it on your own. Best case scenario, you don't make any more power. Worst case, you completely disable your car. Learning on your own is great, but it just isn't worth the risk imho
obviously one shouldn't just throw themselves into something they don't know absolutely shit about. but if you study about it, then why not? how do you think "someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you" acquired their knowledge?
Lone Rider You can do what you like, it's your car. I went with a reputable tuner whom I trusted to give me the results I wanted. $300 for peace of mind ain't even that much really
just 300$ for a full tune? it must be a dream
Flashing the ECU is the most popular thing to do here i Denmark. :) Nice video tho!
I need a ecu flash for my dodge ram it's been misfiring even when I changed all coils and spark plugs
Question. I don’t have a tuner or a laptop and the Dino place is 20 minutes away should I put on the parts then drive over there or get the tune and then put the parts in
what would you recommend to tune a 2012 Infiniti G25x?
If you are using an access port, is it possible to go back to stock like a piggyback if the car needs to go to the dealer?
Why is there no flash tune for dodge charger 5.7 hemi
I need help learning about cars, i am a but confused from the stage 2 and stage 3, is that turbo wise?
Lots of respect for Jermaine
Do you have tips for tuning a fiat bravo 1.4 t-jet with 120hp
My tuner is a 1995 Ford taurus t- tops ,cold air intake, cat back duallies, 4 foot spoiler, racing stickers neon lights ,kissing doors with a body kit sitting on 22s ok there 14 inch hubcap spinners but I keep them clean do it's a real babe magnet I run 97 octane for a extra 50 horsepower when I race it it's a real head Turner and on top of that I went into Harry's and ordered a t66 turbo and a motec exhaust I can't wait
so i have 1996 saab 900 se turbo. what would you suggest i use to tune it?
does the cobb work for any car or are cobbs build to certain cars cause i see online that theres specific car brand names on sum of the accessports
My boy got MD tags 💯
