Basic Process
- E-tooning is the process of tooning a car over the internet.
- AccessPort is required
- No auto's or CVT's
- No catless cars
- No TGV or EGR deletes
- 4 week time limit. Timer starts on the purchase date
- Order tune 5 days before you plan to install your parts, this ensures you already have a map for your mods before they are even installed.
- I will email you my base map and instructions.
- Download the map to your AP and flash it to the vehicle
- Perform the requested datalogs & email them to me.
- I analyze the datalogs, make changes to the mapping and email you back a new revision.
- This process is repeated ~10-15 times (sometimes more, sometimes less).
- Toons are here: https://phatbottituning.com/store
- The goal is to have the map in your possession the day you start installing parts. 95% of the time maps are sent in less than 24 hours. 4% of the time life happens and things come up and it takes 3 days for me to send a map. 1% of the time it takes me 5 days to send a map....this is almost exclusively after I have a sale. So if you order on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday then you will have the map by Wednesday. So do NOT install your parts, then buy the toon and expect to have your map 5 seconds later. This does NOT mean your car needs to be stock to start the process. If you already have a map for mods that are on your car, you do NOT need to remove them. The point of getting MY map before installing NEW parts is so that you are not stuck with a car you can't drive until you get a map from me. I am simply asking that you plan accordingly so you don't end up with a car you can't drive.
No No's
- Do not purchase the toon if you are still buying parts or still waiting on shipping information
- Do not purchase the toon if you are going on deployment in a week
- Do not purchase the toon if you are going on vacation in a week
- Do not purchase the toon if you do not have a safe place to do wide open throttle pulls
- Do not purchase the toon if you do not have email
- Do not purchase the toon if you do not have a computer to transfer maps and logs to/from the Access Port
Sales
- I do NOT plan sales.
- If you email me asking about my next sale, you are not likely to get a response.
- Sale ending deadlines are strictly enforced. I understand it sucks, but it has to be done. If the sale price is given to 1 person after the deadline, then it has to be given to the next person that asks 2 hours later, then 4 hours later, etc. It turns into a never ending cycle.
- If you email me asking to be given the sale price after the deadline, you will either not get a response or you will be given a link to this page.
- Hint: If you simply purchase the tune at full price and it's less than 24 hours after the sale deadline.....you're likely going to get money refunded which will reduce your cost close to the sale price or the exact sale price. People willing to support me when the price is higher, will be rewarded an infinite amount of times before someone who will only ever purchase something when it's discounted. People only willing to buy during sales are basically telling me "your experience & reputation mean nothing to me. if your price is higher than the other guy, I'm going to him."
Emails
- My email: phatbotti_tuning@yahoo.com
- Add my email to your contacts so my messages don't get sent to your spam folder.
- If you haven't heard from me after 3 days, feel free to email me and ask for an update. Be sure to check your SPAM folder first.
- You can also send a message on my personal FB page. https://www.facebook.com/PhatBottiTuning1/
- It likely means my responses aren't getting to you. Either my emails are getting sent to your SPAM folder or just being blocked completely.
- Certain email servers like i-cloud block my emails 99% of the time if I'm not in your contacts list.
AP Map Transfer
- Download Access Port Manager from Cobb's Website & install the program
- Plug AP into computer
- Open AP Manager
- Click Updates, then click Check for Firmware Updates and install updates
- Download the map (.ptm file) from my email to your desktop (DO NOT RENAME FILE)
- Drag map file into AP Manager
- Take AP out to car and flash map
- Select the logging parameters listed in the instruction sheet
- Do the instructed logging (usually a 5 minute cruising log and a single 3rd gear log)
- Take AP back to computer. Drag .csv log files to desktop.
- Rename the logs to cruise01 and 3rd01
- Email me the logs
- This process is repeated 5-10 times
E-TOONING HOURS
M-F: 9am - midnight
Sat: Noon - midnight
Sun: Day off
This is not a concrete schedule, just when I am typically answering emails. Sometimes it's earlier, sometimes later. If you need special hours, just ask. I can be flexible and stay up late if I know I will be receiving logs back. HOWEVER, I do NOT schedule e-toons. I've tried it in the past, but life events, traffic, etc etc happen all the time. So I can't people specific times because if something comes up I won't be able to let everyone know I'm not available, so 20-30 people end up sitting on the side of the road for hours waiting for me to send maps.
SPECIFIC DETAILS
1) There are 3 types of e-toons:
- Off The Shelf Maps (OTS Map) - OTS maps are 1 sized fits all "generic" maps. You get 1 revision. I personally do not like doing OTS maps because everyone lives in a different environment, uses different gas, drives differently, etc etc. The stock map and Cobb maps are 1 sized fits all maps....which is basically the reason you all do not like them. An OTS map will knock more and make less power than a full toon.
- Stock turbo toons - any tune utilizing the stock turbo (a SoCal v3 or any turbo with bigger wheels in it is no longer a stock turbo)
- Stock turbo pump gas - stock turbo running pump gas
- Stock turbo flex fuel - stock turbo running a flex fuel sensor
- Stock turbo e30/e60 - stock turbo running ethanol without a flex fuel sensor
- Upgraded turbo toons - basically any non-stock turbo
- Upgraded turbo pump gas - non-stock turbo running pump gas
- Upgraded turbo flex fuel - non-stock turbo running a flex fuel sensor
- Upgraded turbo e30/e60 - non-stock turbo running ethanol without a flex fuel sensor
