Martin just sent me a new tune after we did all we could think of to try and fix my slightly lean under boost issue, no money exchanged for the new tune, he always sends me prepaid envelopes and trusts that i will always send him what is his and not try to keep it and screw him over.
Great guy, great service. +1 for Martin |

Why not just spend the 30 more bucks and get a Megasquirt DIYPNP ecu? You can tune yourself and tons more upgrade options, without having to send in the ecu everytime you wanna change something. Just an honest question. Its the idea floating around in my head also, I'm leaning toward the MS but highly considering Enthalpy.

Just installed my re-tune Martin sent me, its perfect now. AFR's stay between 11.3 and 12.0. Martin was a great help to me with my KA-T setup and is a really legit guy to deal with. His tune has my KA running better & smoother than a bone stock KA with a stock ECU.
+1 for R.S. Enthalpy |

i've had nothing but bad luck with mine. the 1st ecu he sent me i wasn't even able to tune it, it was like i was "locked" out so i had to take out the ecu, send it back, wait over a month again. since i've gotten my new 1 back it's been worse then the 1st 1. starting @4krpms it dips into the 9's & stays there thru the pull!! hate it & want it gone. first chance i get i'm yanking it out & getting a refund.

It's not always the tune man, it could be anything on your car or engine causing that... Or just a bad wideband reading |

^^^^^ Very true.
I've been considering RS for mine as well, and Martin has been awesome, taking time to answer all my questions. It's only $150 after your initial tune, if you change your setup and want him to re-tune. Plus he offers the tech support. I haven't paid him a dime yet and he has been more than happy to help me with questions, even not pertaining to my own setup.

I agree, but not in this case. All sensors check out & my wideband only goes to 10.0, this is the wideband on the dyno. it showed 9.1

Really glad I found this thread. Thank search function. Got my s14 almost a month ago with an SR in it. Been considering what kind of tune to do. Thank to everybody for their positives feedback on the RS Enthalpy tune. Looking forward to be doing this soon.

I don't do tuned or burnt rom. I refer people who want this service to Enthalpy.
I do create custom maps for the PFC, AEM and Haltech as well as other re-programmable units (including timing maps for Tuner Pro and Nis-Tune units remotely as well) But for actual burning of rom onto the stock Nissan Boards I recommend Scott. He's a great guy.

RS-Enthalpy is Martin.
Martin took over Enthalpy from Scott several years ago. If you are in the Tampa Area martin will do the Tune AT Z-Fever on their dyno but Martin ( RS-Enthalpy ) is seperate from Z-Fever. |

Who are you and who did you buy the ecu from ? 1 month ? I work on 24 hour turnaround time. I will post all email exchanges between me and you as soon as I can put a email with the issue. I will also post all shipping recepit confirmations to and from so that we are clear on the timeline as well. EDIT I figured out who you are from one of your old posts. I will copy and paste our email exchanges below ... these few pointers about our conversation. 1. I responded to everyone of your emails either day of or within 24 hours. 2. I called you trying to diagnose your problem. 3. I ran your ecu on a car when you sent in the ecu to be checked out. I am uploading this to youtube right now. 4. I sent back your ecu the day after you responded to my email about verifying the tune. (I asked on 8/28 - you responded on 9/3 - I sent on morning of 9/5) USPS tracking # 9405 5036 9930 0128 6678 94 - see dates below in the email exchanges. 5. Look at 12/14 - Since we exhausted every option on my end in helping your problem I offered a refund A YEAR LATER. Who does that ? Even though your ecu ran correctly here on a car and I offered to fix your car for free if you ever brought it down here. I take my reputation very seriously and I stand behing my product. If you are not happy, send it back or find a way of getting your car here and I guarantee you that it will run perfectly when it leaves. Please read the last 2 emails. I offered you a refund. I offered to work on your car for free, and you come one here and do this. Emails begin 8/6/12 Hello sir, my name is xxxxxxxxxxxx and I am a customer of yours since sometime last year. I ordered my new tune after sampling a few of your tunes for other customers vehicles on my car, with great sucess! I was very excited to use your product until i recieved mine in the mail. Since I have installed my ECU it has been nothing but a headache. I have contacted Martin on a few occasions, but I am asked for some sort of video or something showing what is going on with my vehicle. Obtaining such evidence is very difficult and I have not been able to "captue" what it is I need to show you. From the time the vehicle is cranked, it begins a steady decline to the rich side until it reaches dead rich! not great for fuel economy at all or spark plugs. It runs very rich the entire time until it begins it's lean out once a steady throttle is reached. I have had no problems adjusting the other ECU's with an SAFC, but for some reason i am "locked out" of my ECU. I have let a few shops(friends) look at the vehicle but no one can seem to access any results from my setup. PLEASE help!! Is there anyway a reflash can done or another chip made for me to try again? This has not worked since I recieved it last year and I have been in contact. Please let me know something. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. 8/712 Sorry to hear you are having problems with your car. We are always here to help, so lets get this figured out. Can you do the most basic thing for me please and check the ecu for codes : http://rs-enthalpy.com/faq.html Let me know what you find. We can always send you a test ecu to rule out the possiblity of the one you have being bad. Martin R.S. Enthalpy 8/8/12 Codes were checked first. You and I have spoken several times since I recieved my ECU. The problem is that it is non-adjustable. I have a "blow-thru" setup with my MAF and something is not right. Every other ECU of yours that I have tried I have had no problems with. I will gladly send my entire ECU back for you to examine. I can also be contacted at xxxxxxx thanks! 8/8/12 xxxxxxn, Shoot it over to me and I will get on it same day. R.S. Enthalpy 1971 W. Lumsden Rd. Suite 366 Brandon FL 33511 You can always call me if you would like 8/15/12 Hey Martin, My ECU is on it's way to you. Should be there on Friday. The main question I have for you is: is the something different in the set-up that you do for a blow-thru set-up vs. draw-thru?? The reason I ask is because I'm currently running blow-thru. Again, thatnks for any help. ECU Actually arrives 8/28/12 xxxxx, When you get a chance, shoot me over the specs of your car and I will send you out a ecu. Hope you made it good through the hurrine. 9/3/12 Yeah man I made it through pretty well thanks. My setup is pretty simple Sr20det s13 blacktop greddy intake manifold N62 maf FMIC precision 760cc topfeed injectors Mazworks topmount exhibit manifold Atmospheric wastegate T3/t4 .50 trim journal bearing Full 3" exhaust no cat You set an 8k rpm rev limiter for me last time Thanks man! Let me know if u need my address 9/5/12 Do you think you will be able to get that out today or tomorrow?? 9/5/12 ECU is shipped USPS tracking # 9405 5036 9930 0128 6678 94 9/25/12 xxxxx, Have not heard back from you on the ecu... are you still experiencing problems, or is everything ok ? 11/6/12 holy crap, how did this get by me?? I have been meaning to get back with you. the idle issue has been corrected some, it stays around 12.5ish now when warmed up. the overall issue has gotten a little worse though. now any kind of throttle puts me at 10.0. anything less than what feels like 10% throttle gets me closer to stoichometric, more than 10% just dumps rich again 11/7/12 xxxxx, Lets recap then... are you runing blow through or suck through on the air flow meter ? Can you cap your bov ? Sounds like it might be sticking open. We go back and forth for 11 emails crossing off a few items. Last emails on 11/7/12 You wrote.. I'll have to double check, but I know it stays at 10 for the most part then might start to lean out at the end. Like I said I would have to double check 11/12 xxxx Just wondering if you had a chance to check out the condition, like you said in your last email. 12/14/12 Sorry for the delay, Martin. There are not too many roads in this city to really try that on but I did have the opportunity to take it on a road trip. After cleaning the MAF, & changing the plugs I was able to get a see clearly what's happening. At any throttle above 40% it goes to 10.0! no matter what. cruising around town at 2500rpm's I'm looking at mid 11's to low 12's. WOT is nothing but 10.0 and never leans out. Even on the interstate it's rich as can be during cruise around 70MPH. But what really has me unhappy is the fact that for the last couple weeks low speed driving around town, it's running so rich that it loads up & spits & sputters & leaves me stranded in the middle of the road or intersection. the wideband is as 10.0 at 1k rpm & i'm a sitting duck. I don't want to be a hard ass, but maybe your product is not for me since I have had issies since day #1. I can't say that I am thrilled about this because I had always looked forward to using your services. Maybe we should discuss a possible refund or something. I am so unhappy to the point I don't want any of it. 12/14/12 xxxxxxx, Sorry to hear you are still having issues. I do understand that you are frustrated and stand behind my product even if you would like a refund. I do want you to understand though that if the problem is with your setup / car, no matter what path you choose for tuning, you will be back at square one. I have no problem taking back my ecu and giving you a full refund, but I would like for you to seal the ecu so that when I get it in my hands I can not open it and make changes to it in any way without it being visually evident. At that point I will install it on a car with your exact setup and provide you with a video showing the car working propoerly on a dyno with a AFR readout. I have no problem going to these lengths because even if you do not want to run our ecu, at least you will see that this was not the fault, and like I said previously I do not ever want to leave a customer angry. This is why I also offer to look at and fix anyone's car for free that runs my ecu but has problem. Let me know what you would like to do, and I will gladly comply. If you would like to send it in and see it working properly before making a decision on a refund, that is totally ok with me as well. Martin 12/14/12 I am just kind of lost at this point. And please understand I still support you guys and send everyone I know doing SR or Ka-t swaps your way, I just think my car hates me. To be honest I want to drive to freaking Tampa & pay u to tune it. Last edited by R.S. Enthalpy; 02-26-2013 at 09:26 PM.. Reason: Response |

Since this was not addressed I will attach our txts below. I told customer that any problems with our tunes are covered. ECU came in with burned MAF pin. Customer then said he bought a bad ecu from a shop second hand. Customer said he was low on funds.. Mailed him his ecu without payment because everyone has been there and he was stuck without a car... going to school etc. See below. |

Thank you. I am not trying to burn anybody but when customers get frustrated with their situations and car's they sometimes easily loose track of the chain of events that got them there and ultimately blame the tune, since that is the thing that makes their motor run.
The ecu will only run as good as the rest of the setup. If there is a problem with the motor / setup, no ecu in the world will make it run right. Slandering my company out of frustration will get you no where, because I treat everyone with the absolute utmost respect and tend to everyone's problems, even though 99% of them have nothing to do with the tune.... and email trails don't lie.

Martin. Is a rare find in customer service. And tunning expertise. I called him on a day, when they had a hurricane blow by. And he had time to call and do business. That was enough proof that he cares about his business.
I've purchased their WC sr20det tune. And can't wait to have my kouki on the road soon. Rs enthalpy rocks! !!!!! |

Interesting reading here. I have not purchased a tune from Martin yet, but I will soon for my KA-t setup. He has answered all my questions from BOV recirc, to running 248 hot cams. He is very patient, and looks out for his customers. I have told friends about his customer service, That's just how solid this dude is.

Martin does TOP notch tuning, and is respected around the nation. He's also one of the nicest and most patient guys in the industry.
I'm personally running an enthalpy rom-tune on E85 500whp built SR. Running just the ROM-tune for now and it's making 11.5 AFRs consistently across the board, on boost, with this brand new build. Martin also is SUPER helpful and true WHIZ with cars. If anyone's in WA state or NW region wants RS-Enthalpy dyno-tuning from Martin we will be doing another dyno-day for all enthalpy tuned cars!! If you have any specific questions on the tune feel free to ask me, I've been collaborating with RS-Enthalpy for a couple years. One local guy sold AEM series 2 for an enthalpy tune Another 2 ditched Nistune Buddy did GTiR T28 KA-T JWT KA-T tuned guy is switching to enthalpy tune next session (GT35 setup) ALL are happy. Oh and I'm happy too lol. |

Kinda smiliar to the guy above, bought a car with a wacky enthalphy ecu. Emailed martin to see if he could take a look at it for me so i sent him a stock ecu and enthaphy ecu. Turns out the previous owner tried to jump the ecu to "fix" a problem and fried the whole thing (car would stay on with key out of ignitions, ect...).
Martin diagnosed the problem, moved chip to another ecu and verified it worked, and was very responsive the entire time. Not only that he did not charge me a dime for the time he put into it and fixing the issue. Only paid for postage both ways. Pretty badass guy in my book, thanks for standing behind your product! Ohh yeah, my tune is pretty much spot on for a mail order tune. Cant be happier. |
