No offence, but I have met guys who are very mechanically inclined and could do virtually any conversion you could think of, but give them an ECU and a laptop and they'll not have a clue what to do with it.supersayianjim wrote:well lets see,
-i helped swap a 7mgte into my 7m body
-owned and pretty much worked on a z32tt
-attempted to swap a 4g63t engine into a mitsu expo(failed cause i had the wrong tranny)
-had a short stint with a suby impreza
-brought,swapped,modded a n/a 89k original mile 240sx that was a auto(now a stick) with a rb20det. did all the work(minus the wiring harness).

so iam car mechanically inclined. i don't know everything. i WILL NOT attempt a wiring harness conversion, i suck at soldering. but the remove,put back,change stuff,inspect,torque. aspect of things i got down pat(thank godness for fsm).
But this values crap is new to me. a guy recommended i take a efi course at the local school. i will probably do that(want to before txtk12).
but my car was running sweet at 22psi albiet maxing out my injector cycle and afm. but with this z32 maf and 650cc injectors now. i just simply want to return to those days..
As a tuner, never expect the customer to be able to help diagnose faults when mapping, if they can then great, but NEVER, EVER purely rely on them. This is why people do not do e-mail mapping, you could be very knowledgable and helpful in diagnosing issues, you could be useless, no-one knows. Also as a tuner you can't relay all the information and exactly what you are thinking could cause an issue via e-mail or phone for every problem. Sometimes you just need to see it.
I have had guys explain an issue to me, can't help them on the phone, go past theirs the next day and it's something obvious to me that they overlooked. It's things like that which are an issue with e-mail tuning.
