Diablo sport, BNR tune.

[CheapFuneral]

So I just got my BNR custom tune today... honestly I didn't get a whole lot of wheel time, but I did take it for a test drive and I'm gonna throw up an initial review here and follow it as I drive I'll update you guys.

Initial thought is WOW! This is how I wanted the car to feel from Diablo sport or the factory. Butt Dyno says huge gains for sure. While driving slowly it's still smooth but now when you put your foot down it puts you in the seat! While the Diablo sport tune sees more horse power than stock, it still drives very stock. The BNR tune has an aggressive pull all the way through the power band, and after you hit 3-3.5k rpm it takes off like a rocket! The I can hear the turbo spooling louder (probably because it has more boost) which is always nice to me.

If I can get some time/money I'll see if I can take it to the track to see how much I've picked up. Stock I ran 17.00, Diablo sport I ran 15.82, I expect to see around or under 15.00. I know that .8 is huge, but it honestly feels that big of a difference.

I'll update later for longer term.

I'll go look for a build thread or something what what mods are you running on your car? As of right now I just have a mpfab intake

What is the final total cost for acquiring this complete tune package, including Jerry's tuning?

 

[rdss]

The inTune is 389 on his website, I couldn't find any pricing for tuning for it though.

 

[bdub]

it kind of depends on how elaborate the setup is but figure 150 for mod support from what they said

 

[BNRacing]

Yeah if you want a BNR tune added to your intune its $150 if you bought the intune from us, $200 if you didn't

Ok, so it's been a couple days now, the adrenaline has had time to back down.

The car still is crazy fast. Around town my mileage has been in the 20s because I floor it at every light![emoji28] it's just so much fun.

Today I did my first highway trip, 66 miles from home 90% highway.

I think the gas mileage has improved. It's hard to say for sure because this isn't a trip I take every day (yet) and I had the ac on which I usually don't, but I didn't want to get my suit all sweaty.

Passing was nice. Without shifting I can a decent speed to get around people in the 70s-80s. I don't expect much out of 6th gear. When needing to get around people more quickly I can now shift to 5th which used to be useless. If I really need to pass someone on a dotted yellow, 4th is like zoom!

Now all BNR needs to do is figure out how to get my back wheels putting power to the ground and I'd have a perfect car [emoji23][emoji106][emoji122]

Since I can't obviously tune my sonic due to warranty and I don't need the customer reps on the forums black flagging my warranty I decided not to tune the sonic and to buy this nifty looking ipod from BNR.. supposedly the tunes it plays in your vehicle really make you feel like you are going faster!.. heh.. can't wait to put it in and test it out. This will be used strictly.. in our other vehicle.

I know it may be off topic just wanted to give a shout out to BNR and hope to have tuning done from them later on when it's safe.
