Dennis,
I also had a problem finding a good dyno place around here, the best i got was the Audi Dealer (Al Naboodah Automobiles), who charge AED 500 for 2hour run. NO wideband feedback available, and i have no idea what it is (flywheel or wheel power)

Yep its all about having fun with cars in your own way..

may be some of us dont know much technical about cars

may be some of us know technically about cars but they dont know how to drive.

I would urge everyone to respect each others thinking and correct mistakes rather than critisizing.

Sometimes this globe of internet seems to be too cruel ( especially @ DF ), making me feel like a dmb a$$, when somebody critisizes me and gets on ma nerves.. why cant u people simply talk calmy ??

anyways..safe driving !!

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?

no merc parts bro.. about the muffler..hmm.. a quiet one..there is a shop i know where they sell the mufflers with that a switch. Turn on the sound and turn off the sound any time you want. I forgot about the brand, but it comes around 400-450 or something (excluding installation)

sorry..no deals with catconv either :(

oh btw..if you need the air filter try visiting in port saeed..( right opposite to caravan restaurant.) they have a shop with all the 4x4 n sports stuff..guess they might have 1 for the merc.

sorry to thread jack, but since we're talking about modifying cars, where are local performance shops that sell aftermarket parts?

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.

well said hosrom,

some people here thinks that wat others have to offer is simply nothing.

engine modification doesnot mean alteration in any manner. Its all additions or changes done to few parts, lets say plugs or wires, adjusting the alternator, injector, gear switches or the timing.

Honestly speaking, there are no accredited or certified tuning shops in U.A.E, most of the garages do the same thing in a different style, which might appear to people that they are different.

Tell me of one instance where you might have find a place, where they do some miracle to your car.

All depends on what you want to do to the car, and what you want from the car and the way you want to do it, either personally or give someone or some garage that is trust worthy who can do the job well for you.

Posting in message boards on how you can change your brake pads or oil filters doesnt make good out of it, neither does it make you Auto Guru..

neither owning a Cruiser or cayyene will make you anything better than a bluff..

keep discussions open & well said for others..

oh.. 3 hips for hosrom.

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.

asdfasdf128 wrote: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.

no offense..but why do you people have to pick a fight or have an argument for no reason..if someone wants to get their car modified by someone, what is YOUR Problem?? Declare a 1 time warning & let people do whatever they want to do? What is the concern here ?

yorky500: I tune the car myself, i have joined forums related to my car and found out i was doing things all wrong. I mentioned in another thread (or maybe this one) i shot a rod bearing in my previous car. I looked on the bright side, the car was cheap (costed less than 7,000 AED, and took it as a learning curve.

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.

dear asif,

as per our conversation i cannot blindly quote you anything .. i told you i must see the car prior to anything...

about the engine we spoke about, again i cannot tell you that if 800 for an engine is a good or bad one until i see the condition of the engine and check its run.

all i mean to say is, there is a need to see the car and i cannot blindly quote you over the phone.

if you happen to come to dubai, we can schedule a meeting..(please make sure its on thursday or friday )

so i guess u understand that i have to see the car before anything and suggest you on what has to be done.

regards
