Get the most out of your built vehicle by allowing KO Racing to custom tune your engine. Our careful and systematic approach to tuning will ensure a good long lasting tune with near to stock starting, idling, and transitions while unlocking the power capability of your build. From mildly built, to purpose built race vehicles, our expertise in tuning EFI systems will help you achieve your goals. If you have a carburetor equipped vehicle, we can help you with that as well with Holley carbs being our favorite. Remember, it doesn't matter how much it cost to build your engine, it can only be as good as the tuner tuning it!
Due to the massive variations in how different cars are set up, we no longer offer fixed price tuning. All tuning is based on actual time rounded up to the nearest half hour. We will work with you on more involved projects or projects that require experimentation in some way. Some people only want wide open throttle tuning, and will tackle the rest themselves, while others require extensive tweaking of the cold and warm startup and idle control strategies to have near OEM level reliability and quality of operation day to day on both petroleum based and ethanol based fuels. These require vastly different levels of effort as one might imagine.
Full or partial tuning available for the following stand alone EMS systems with estimated costs (This is just a sample list of EMS's we are familiar with, but not necessarily the only EMS systems we would be willing to work with). Prices listed are guess estimations only on typical effort required to perform necessary tuning and listed to provide the customer a realisted expectation of what they may spend on tuning.:
Full or partial tuning available for factory ECUs via HPTuners interface device (View HPTuners website for application list)
While Kris Osheim is familiar with the above tuning systems, with over 15 years professional EFI tuning experience (one of the top tuners in the 3SGTE and MR2/Celica community), most any systems are possible to be tuned, and we are willing to give anything a try if it is a reasonable and capable EMS system. Please discuss your tuning needs with Kris if you have any questions (kris@koracing.net).
Rates will vary depending on the application and the system in use, but some of the more common cars we deal with: NOTE: pricing below is subject to change without notice. All Tuning is charged by the hour at a rate of $150/hr on Dyno, or $100/hr off dyno (street tuning, idle or cold start tuning off dyno, driveability off dyno)
Dyno information:
NOTE: All vehicles need to have a wideband oxygen sensor installed and linked to the ECU to allow proper tuning if equipped with a stand alone EMS -- extra charges apply if this is not already set up.
NOTE: Kris Osheim is available to travel and tune as well at a rate of $800/day plus airfare, room and board.
NOTE: Dyno tuning rates start from either the time the car rolls onto the dyno, or the time the appointment was made for in the case of a late arrival. All dyno time will be rounded up to the nearest 1/2 hour.
Please review the pre-tuning/pre-dyno checklists prior to making an appointment Quick Checklist here, or Detailed Checklist here.
