What do I need to do to get the car ready for a dynotune?
I have an SCT switch chip. The car 'needs' nothing, most maintenance items have very low mileage, and the O2s were recently replaced. The AWSF-22C spark plugs only have a couple thousand miles. The only thing I could think of is clean the air filter and MAF, replace the fuel filter(maybe 10,000 miles?) and possibly a seafoam treatment. I'd have to check how long until an oil change is due.
I still have to install the Meziere electric water pump, but I'm not sure that would be a tuning factor. I thought about replacing critical sensors such as cam sensor, crank sensor, the ECT sensor and IAT sensor?
Most of the mods coming after the tune would be suspension/handling. One day I will get the ported intake installed and possibly long tube headers. But by then, I'm sure the car will surely need something major before then and redirect my attention. :feedback
