The people in your ECU

Steve

E-Tunez turned a passion for mechanical and electrical engineering into a synergy inside the ECU. Steve teaches Automotive Science at a local college, holds a background in electronic engineering, and is a methodical, systematic tuner — quality over quantity, one careful revision per day, every change logged.

His approach: build a solid baseline, then build on a vehicle’s strengths. Economy cars get hypermiled in the part-throttle columns; boosted cars get developed under boost; K-series get both. Knock is dialed in bit by bit until the tune sits right at threshold, and lambda and VE tables are refined to suit.

He started in the late ’90s with DSM Link on an AWD 4G63 Talon, moving through SAFC/VAFC, MegaSquirt and ECU Live to FlashPro, HP Tuners and Cobb — and has owned 60+ vehicles. His FA5 Civic Si was the first to run a custom flash in Canada, and the first FA5 to see -40° on the road to Thompson, Manitoba.

Dan

Due to Dan’s mystic nature and his inner circle of advisors, he was unavailable to write a profile. We suspect he’s currently drag racing on Mars.

We asked Steve for comment: “Simply put, he is the ChatGPT of tuning — and yes, he knows what you were googling last night.”

Richard

An Electrical Technologist with an aviation background, Richard has spent 12+ years as an aircraft crew member diagnosing electrical systems under pressure — a career built on sensors, inputs and attention to detail. He met Steve while stationed in a remote northern community, over late-night StarCraft and Chinese food.

His personal project is the first car he’s owned for 20 years: a Mirage with an EVO III AWD drivetrain swapped in — converted from MAF to speed density on ECMLink, now getting a stroked 2.3L 4G63T with an FP Green turbo. His daily drivers have always been Hondas, from an ’04 Civic Si and ’06 TSX to a ’19 Insight. (Yes, a hybrid. He likes saving gas.)
