Bluefin stage 2 tuning

[alphabeatsco]

I was browsing through few of the tuner's website, bluechip, apr, etc.
stage 2 requires few hardware parts fitted before it can be tuned.

just wondering, is there any specific brand or model of the parts required? or any generic stuff will work?

there seems to be so many CAI, exhaust, fuel pumps, etc.

my old Nissan had a tune, but it was custom dynoed tune, so it didn't matter what brand or model of the parts i had. it would just tune as efficient as possible. since these tunes are generic, not sure if it matters.

I don't think you need specific brands of parts; or else they would specify.

they probably recommend their own brands for 'best results' but i don't think its necessary.

ill be going stage 2 Bluefin shortly after i put my down pipe in.

however i WOULD perform the modifications they recommend before installing the tune.

so how are some of the parts from ebay? generic stuff...

The Bluefin tune is very generic (I have stage 1 Bluefin). Stage 1 of some of the more focussed tunes will give more kw for not many more $$ & the outcome will be almost as good as Stage 2 Bluefin IMO.

I can see the Bluefin has slightly lower figures...
however, it's almost 1/3 of any other tunes out there.

1/3? How much is a Bluefin now? They must have come down in price because mine was $666 & there are plenty of other tunes available for less than $1000. 1/3 of $1000 is $333 last time I looked.

I am loath to mention brands as that always starts a bun-fight but if you do your research you'll find there are at least 3 other tuners that are very competitive with Bluefin/Superchips.

BTW: I'm still a very happy Bluefin stage 1 customer but as I said, the tunes are generic (ie: they do the same tune for the UK where they are based (cool weather & 100ron availability) as they do for AUS (warmer weather & 98ron)
