Hi all, Im hunting around for a best place (Melb) to tune my stock r34 gtr with 3" cat back. So far i've got 3 quotes:

1 - Apexi power fc + 1.0 bar of boost = 250 KW at 4wheels. Total $1725 (no after market boost cont)

2 - Apexi power fc + 1.0 bar = 210KW at 4wheels. Total $1800 (no after market boost cont)

3 - Apexi power fc + 0.9 bar = 220KW at 4wheels. Toatl $3000 (with Blitz dual stage ebc)

Two of them said no need to fit a boost controller for this simple modification, because the Apexi pfc can controll the boost level. Well, the other one recommended me to fit an ebc.

Anyway, by compairing the ouput power and the money, they were confusing me !!!!

So anyone has this sort of experience with this simple modification, please specify me what gain i should achieve and how much i should pay is reasonable and where to tune. THANKSSS.

Just to clear things up, i'm guessing the prices ur quoting are with them suppling u with the pfc, and the power is just estimates if so i wouldn't use any of them, the first 2 are incorrect, (correct me if i'm wrong guys) but to control boost y would apexi sell an additional boost control kit to be used exclusivly with the pcf if it already did it. my advice would be to buy the pfc from neugun and the blitz duel stage (i've got an apexi avcr and love it) wire it in urself it's really easy if u can use a soldering iron then send it off to a dyno place for a good tuning, sounld come in well under $3000 but if ur happy to pay 3g go with tuner number 3, my 2cents worth!

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
