TUNED Q50 After One Whole Year

[@andrewche1558]

I had that same issue u1001 and p0720. For a while it would come and go and finally stayed and wouldn't shift past 3rd. I ended up replacing the output shaft speed sensor, input shaft speed sensor and taking entire mother board out and cleaning/ soldering certain parts that looked iffy as well as cleaning and testing all solenoids. Even bought.a donor vb and used solenoids off it that seemed to have less resistance. Took me 2 Installs and removals to finally fix it....the output shaft sensor was the worst though. Still not sure exactly what it was because after taking out the valve body the first time and after doing the output speed sensor, I wasn't going to do it a third haha, so just did a little more than I probably should have.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Wow intensive!

[@cwgw9102]

Would love to see a journey from the highway onto a track or unlimited throttle backroad.

[@jstephens1193]

Shout Out to George and Nik @ Soho! They're awesome!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Yes sir!

[@101mg]

Ecutek > All.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Agreed.

[@ls6king316]

Mine just started acting weird, while parked it’s not letting me select mode even on the app I select mode 2 would set itself back to mode 1. But while driving it would let me select modes 1, 2, & 3 and valet mode 4 is gone. Parked my tachometer only jumps to 1 For some weird reason it will not let me go any higher valet mode is completely gone. 😡🤬

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Seems strange it would just do that on its own. Although when I was retuned, my car basically got stuck in valet mode for almost 2 weeks. I would select map 1 or 2 but it didn’t matter. The car wouldn’t go past 3500rpm and it was showing about 1/2 throttle voltage on my data logs. One day randomly it started working normally.

[@ls6king316]

@@SpeedCultureStudios I'm going back to aam here in Maryland Monday morning so the tuner can look at it The one I talked on two days ago he said that that was strange

[@mlaforest123]

Tuning with Uprev not bad option either. I been happy with it. Is there really a difference?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I think it’s more about what the tuner has experience with. But I’ve been told that ecutek allows the tuner to more finely adjust the parameters. But yeah both good.

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

I have an ECUTek tune from prime Motors up in North Jersey.. I Only have a Nissan Juke AWD CVT which is the limit.. We had to back the torque down because of slipping the belt and clutches.. I'm making in reality 255 wheel torque and 245 to the front wheels. I'm making 210 in AWD on a Mustang DYNO which runs 16% slower than a DYNO Jet which most people know.. I gained 120lbs of torque to the wheels with a ECUTek tune. I'm on like a stage 2 tune because My CVT is at the limit.. I have full bolt on's all the way out the back, from the turbo down.. She's a nice little sleeper Now.. I know people either love or hate the Juke, But if you have a front wheel drive stick you can make 300/400 with a bigger turbo and a Good tune.. I'm 7 months into my tune and I don't regret it at all.. People were like it's a Juke don't waste your money, Now I'm side by side with WRX's and Mustangs, Even some of the Dodges can't pull away from me till we hit 90/100 and then my power just falls off a cliff.. But the car is fast as hell from 20 to a 100 that's for sure.. Thing makes so much torque that I really don't like nailing it from a dead stop, Feels like its on the edge of breaking something.. But I have fun once the roads get wet...

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I have a guy in my area that is working on a juke. He has really put some money into it but I’ve yet to see it in the street lol. Hopefully soon. I may be able to get a review of it on the channel when it’s done

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Nice, Because they are fun cars.. And they are cheap to build.. All you have to do with these cars is get a down pipe and get rid of the restrictive exhaust and tune her up.. But if your on a CVT like me don't even bother upgrading the turbo or anything like that, the stock turbo on 18 LB's of boost is more than enough to break the trans.. Hopefully the guy has a Manual, They are worth throwing a bigger turbo on and going all out.. A guy down in Atlanta is hitting 400 with stock internals.

[@FrAndR0iD]

I'm tuning my G next week, waiting on my spark plugs & CAI to come in the mail. Already got an ArkGRiP Catback with ISR resonated test pipes. How much did tune cost you? Billet Design Motorsports which has a putable set of Ecutek master tuners here in South Florida quoted me $650.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

The ecutek software was about $650 and the dyno time was $250.

How much did everything total cost you ? ( the tune , the ecutek dongle) love the videos btw ! Very informative

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks man. Ecutek software is around $700 and the dyno time ranges but is around $200 - $300. The dongles go for like $350 but you can find people selling them for $250.

[@jonathanperez2358]

Can you be tuned without the dongle? What's is its purpose exactly? Or do you need everything you listed

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Jonathan Perez you don’t need the single at all. It is just something that could be helpful if you want diagnostic tools or to data log. I guess the original intent was so you could switch maps in the 3.0t, but now that it can be done in-car the dongle isn’t needed at all. But it was pretty cool to have. I just borrowed them.

[@furkandemir3176]

Did you put the rear diffuser on

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Yes, check out my installation video

[@gabeanderson7029]

So I purchased the borla mid muffler and the resonators that you run currently, but the shop I went to said the mid muffler would hang too low and wouldn’t fit. What should I tell them? 2015 3.7 q50

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

What do you mean what should you tell them? They don’t know what they’re talking about. I’ve obviously done it and several other people have copied this design since. It’s your car. Tell them to make it happen or you gotta find a different shop that isn’t scared.

Speed Culture Studios can you send me a pic of how yours was setup so I can show it to them?

[@willsmitlifts]

Any thoughts of doing the performance y pipe and the pro xs muffler before the the resonators?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

No need for a y pipe. The purpose of the borla (x pipe) is to eliminate the y pipe.

Would my car still pop and burble if I get a tune with just afe air filters and a muffler delete ?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

With a burble tune you will get some but with factory cats, it’s not the best. And it’s hard on the cats themselves

[@Meilingboppin]

@@SpeedCultureStudios so would it be better to get your full cat back exhaust then tune or do I have to get test pipes as well

[@ricci169]

How do I know if my car is tuned

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

If the prior owner had tuned it, you mean? It would be pretty difficult to tell. You could go to a dealer and see if they can see a flash count.

[@ricci169]

Yes if the prior owner tuned it. I feel like it might be but very unsure

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

ricci169 unfortunately it’s not a big enough power difference to be able to just feel it. Why do you think it was? Have you driven a bunch of Q50s and they feel slow compared to yours?

[@ricci169]

Yes this one just seems to RIP to redline faster than other awd q50s I tested

Hey I’m Big fan of yours avid follower student of all the info you put out!!! Mind if ask that sense you have done an Ekutek tune on your car is it as hard to remove it from your car un noticed? If you ever go to turn your car in?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

You can have it flashed back to stock, but I wouldn’t. Not in this car anyway. If you’re in a vr30 and are making 450hp then maybe have it flashed back to stock before turning it in.

[@jayg639]

@@SpeedCultureStudiosIt would make sense if your keeping your car.. I was just asking if that’s something that can easily be done by you like disconnecting the OBD insert you use to load all the info to begin with?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@jayg639 No, you don't keep anything inserted into the obd II port. The port is just used to flash the ecu. Nothing remains connected to the car. So in order to reverse the tune, it would have to be reflashed by a tuner.

[@jayg639]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Do you have to pay a tuner every time you reflash? How much? Sounds really good got me interested!! Question does it void warranty? What happens if your ECU take a shit? God forbids not to be negative just curiosity? Would you have to purchase a new ECU from dealer specific?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@jayg639 it’s up to the manufacturer to decide if the warranty is denied or if the tune caused the issue. Tuning is expensive. Reflash or retunes are not too bad but depends on the tuner

[@tufpgagolf]

Did you have any trouble with your cruise control after the tune, with the changes made to the throttle response and the transmission?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

No trouble with cruise control.

[@joshuababulal8412]

Do you think that the Bluetooth dongle is worth the little extra money

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It’s a nice little thing to have, but it’s super expensive for what it is.
