Joey, do you offer trial for your QF? My kia forte 1.6 is fully stock and I'm looking at improving my sluggish pick up..

If i'm not wrong there's a 30 day grace period after you purchase the QF. If you're not satisfied you can ask for a refund. Joey please confirm.

This money back guarantee is really good. Where to find a 30 day money back guarantee mod? This implies that the service provider is extremely confident that his product is effective and the consumer will recognize the benefits that the product will bring. Although I have been using OEP for 4 years, but this is what I see when I'm presented with a money back guarantee of 30 days. Not only for this product, but for other products as well.

Hi joey, im driving a 2010 koup. Everything on stock other than a k and n filter and a power charger. I am thinking of doing quickflash. How much would it cost?

Tuning feedback: Did an ECU retune with Joey for my new intake. Hope to share some feedback here: *I feel it is important that a tuner understands the driving patterns of the customer. For myself, what I want is increased response and torque at the lower to mid rpm range. Of course, it would be good to have some nice figures at the top rpm range on a dyno sheet. But for myself, chances of hitting this range with my family is rare. Hence, I would choose increased torque at the lower revs as it enhances driveability of the vehicle and I can experience that everyday. Before tune: - The lower revs from 2 to 3.5rpm seems reluctant to move. I don't know if this is called a flat spot but the scenario is you press the throttle, but vehicle responds but power is delayed for a slight moment. In order to counter this problem, usually I will have to progressively stepped on more throttle to get the revs higher. - Usable rpm starts from 2.8rpm. After this figure, everything seems fine. But this poses a major problem because as the transmission is a CVT, it operates at a low rpm. Which means I'm getting all the delayed responses from 2rpm to 2.8rpm. After tune: - The lag in the lower revs are removed. The vehicle seems much more eager to move. The usual case is after throttle is applied, the power delivery is delayed. But for this time round, the power delivered comes almost instantly. I believe to do that on a CVT is not easy because the 'rubber band' effect is the biggest disadvantage of this transmission. However, you don't have to look at the speedometer to know that the vehicle is gaining speed quickly, and it's all done at the lower half of the tachometer. This 'rubber band' effect feels that it does not exist. - Usable rpm starts from as low as 2rpm. This greatly enhances the driveability of the vehicle, the rev range that I can use everyday. Conclusion: I feel that this is a very good tune. I have tuned the vehicles I've driven for about 6 times. To be honest, the response that I get exceeds my expectations. Really good, almost perfect. Nothing much to point out.

Just an update about the tuning. I have travelled about 300+km with the new tune.
Lower rev acceleration is simply awesome! It gets better after the ECU 'settle down' with the new tune which takes roughly a tank of petrol. It actually performs from 2 rpms onwards in hot weather conditions. At night time, you can actually feel the improved acceleration straight away when you press the throttle, even if the rpm is below 2.
Throttle response is refined too. With every little increment you made on the throttle, it actually reflects on the torque of the vehicle. Unlike previous where the delivery was a dull response, this response is sharp and perky. I've tried 'jabbing' the throttle body. Means press and let go immediately. It responses to that too. If the throttle is not sensitive, the vehicle would not be able to gain momentum because time of throttle input is too short.
For upper rev response, there is still more to explore since I don't use that range often. But for lower rev, I am very satisfied with the outcome. Thanks Joey, for the ECU tune!

I recall a question that my friend posted to me earlier last week: "No matter how you tune, you will get used to the new 'feel' of driving sooner or later. The novelty lasts perhaps for a week or 2. After which, you will find that your ride feels the same as before tune.
I answered him: "It is normal to feel it this way as everything just seems to get better after the tuning is completed. If you really wants to know what your tuning has done for you, do it in the opposite direction - Revert your tune to stock. If you feel something is missing, that's good. If you feel sort of frustrated that your ride does not seems to respond in the same way as before, your ride does not move forward as quickly as before, that's better. Well, after a few days, if you find yourself calling the tuner to get that map to be flashed back, that's great. But, if you feel that nothing has changed much, then that's bad, really bad.

In Aug/Sept, I used 173 litres of petrol with an average FC of 10.3 km/ltr (4 tanks average). Compared to September/october 2012, it was 10.6 km/ltr (5 tanks average). The FC virtually remains the same despite increase in low end and overall acceleration after tuning is completed.

Haha, thanks all for your curiosity. Yes, we are streamlining the new package and will cost much lesses. Edric is bz with the brochure and advert schedule. The new package will only cost $880.00. Customised tuning somemore. He is also bz setting up the different tuning stages and designing lots of engine set ups. Hope he can give more details when he is ready. Morning Joey, just to know more, for kia carens 2007 model, do you have the data already? Is there a change in price for re-mapping? ($880) So can the overall increase will be about 15% in torque and hp? thanks in advance
