BNR's EFILive Tuning (Yes, no?)

[Wub2Dub]

Anyone making the switch? Currently with Trifecta. For sake of not starting a flame fest I'll describe my experience as "meh." Wanting to switch already. BNR seems to offer a good alternative and fast turnaround with EFILive at a reasonable price. What has been your experience? How is customer service? I'm going for the long hall!

everything you want to know is in 1.4 turbo engine forum

look at the diablo vs trifecta comparison and the scr vs trifecta vs.efi live comparison, they both explain everything about all 3 tune systems

K, thanks. I must have missed it.

The question I have is is it better than diablo... which yes I have read posts comparing.. but if efi>diablo>trifecta I may have to rethink my impulse buying

 

[Wub2Dub]

When I got Trifecta there wasn't much for options. I'm kinda impulsive myself.

i told a lot of people multiple times to not buy trifecta tunes (for other reasons) but also because MUCH better options were soon to arrive. VERY soon to arrive, but nobody listened to me..... lol

 

[Wub2Dub]

Yeah... I should have listened. Lol In all fairness I did get my data logging results after a month. It did happen.

I think it depends on your short or long term goals. If you are looking to squeeze every last potential HP out of your car then the EFILive setup appears to be the better path.

But there are some gains to be had with either system. Currently the EFILive setup is GM only (and some Cummins diesel vehicles.) The Diablosport covers a far greater range of vehicles and there are many CMR dealers that can tune them also.

End up in a 2016 Ford Focus RS in a year or two like I plan to do?... Drag your Diablo tuner with you and maybe Jerry will be tuning those by then also!!!!

 

[Wub2Dub]

Ikr! What a waste of time. Also after the month I was told there was no room for improvement. Sooo... buzzkill.

Indeed I want to get every last bit of potential out of this engine. EFILive seems the way. In need of logging as I just installed my FMIC!
