fitting extra gears, double clutchs, fittin cams & turbos and heather installation & designs..they do it for low estimates
I got a laugh out of this eh... How exactly do you fit an extra gear/s? Or when for that matter did a 'double clutch' transform from a driving manuevoir into a physical part on a car? And heather install? - I'll take 2 pls :)

Hey Ahamed, I believe your garage might not have old Mercedes parts, eh? Would you by chance have a K&N air filter (not the cone type) that fits in the standard 80s Merc air box? How about a QUIET sport muffler, like Remus? Even a used muffler will do. I also need a modern, possibly "sportier", catalytic conveter. If so, can you give me an idea about prices for these three things?

Depends on what car you have and what parts you are looking for.
1000 Dunes and Performance are probs the best. Also, Sub-Zero has some damn good stuff available.
Pick up a copy of Auto-trader or other UAE car mags. A lot of them advertise around.
There are 100's in Sharjah, but you take the risk.
There are not that many good tuning and performance shops around. A lot of them are "cowboys".
To be honest, its a good idea to get the parts yourself and find a good garage to install.
Correct me if i am mistaken, but there are NO shops in the middle east 9yet alone dubai) that are professional tuners, they are ALL cowbows for that matter. Selling performance parts and tuning performance parts are two different things.
A 'good' garage or a bad garage, installation is not the main idea, it's the tuning.
I am getting really tired of this, you guys are making the word tuning sound like it is something not so important or nothing to worry about, which is WRONG. Tuning brings the AFR down to safe levels so the engine does't cook itself and blows gaskets/pistons and valve, as well as starve itself from oil and fuel. Tuning timing is setting the spark fireing angle (retard/advance), too much retard causes high EGTs, which melt internal components, too much advance creats detonation, unless using high octane fuel, which still has a limit of spark advance.
NO SHOP has the required monitors for AFR or EGTs, they don't even know what is a wideband sensor......get it in you're head's already.
And just a note, just because a car/engine was tuned in Japan or Germany, does NOT make it suitable for other countries, because the tuning was done in THAT environment, humudity and weather plays a huge role, the car may not even start.

yes i do, i have the innovative xd-16. The wideband sensor itself is mounted after the turbocharger and BEFORE the primary muffler. WBO2 were not cheap 10 years ago, they were selling for over $1000, now there are used everywhere and can be purchased for $400 or so. The mounting location for the sensor is critical if you have any mufflers or CAT's, since those are designed to baffle noise/emissions thus altering the exhaust, which would give you incorrect readings.

all you need is a wideband with preferably with a data logger, and a device to tune with, whether it be safc2 or emanage...etc
You should really be carefull what device you choose. You should know what system (the intake AFM/MAF/MAP) you have and what voltages it gives to the factory ECU. I've seen some MAF's in VW's give out a 0-4.6v output, the Apexi SAFC handles 0-5v outputs. The 0.6v difference makes all the difference, since the ECU will see more volts than normal, thinking that there is too much fuel, or too much air, thus hitting a fuel cut-off no matter what fuel map you have instructed the SACF to give. I'm using the emanag ultimate, and works extremely well, since i can configure the MAP output to read 0-4.7v, ignition control (single coil w/distributor and rotor) in order for the factory ECU tro understand.
Going for a standalone management system is a different ball park, you don't rely on the factoru ecu, it's literally deleted, and you have to make you're own wiring, slicling, soldering and so on. Keeping the factory ecu requires the right aftermarket equippment to get the full drivability and reliablity of which teh factory intended.

Sorry, did I not mention the garage you owned/work at? hahahahahaha
Totally agree with what you are saying, so what do you do if you want to mod your car i.e. engine mods? Who do you go to in the UAE. As I said, there are one or two that a lot of people recommend and there are 100's of "cowboys" that you should stay away from.
Just pick up the phone and call any (if not all) tuning shops here and ask them how do they tune a car.

Exactly, we just gave you a warning, it's advice that you take with a grain of salt, it's you're money and you're car, do as you wish..........
As for the oscilloscope Ahmed, i BELIEVE al naboodah has one of these for porsche's and vw's....but i could be mistaken.
