Their basic tune, which is done in like 2-3 hours, is exactly what it is - basic tune.

the ig tune which Im getting has the 2 cold start tests n tune and check ups, also getting fuel pump fitted which threw the times back a bit.

and I also get the check ups later on and when I do more mods, its a simple - on the dyno n fix up

comes with a warranty too :)

Whats the cost like if you, say add another mod and, need it "re-tuned". I assume it would be cheaper as the previous tune suits the cars setup and your only changing the air fuel ratio most of the time (for say air filters, or dump pipes) rather than the ignition timing etc. Or am I talking crap because I have no idea? :P

Strange that they're telling you it needs a cold start test...

It's a PFC. No need to do anything with the cold start, seriously, there's nothing to be done at all. If it was a Microtech or other then thats fair enough.

Mine has been tuned by Yavuz at Unigroup, hes a great guy and the prices are probaly the best around locally, but unfortunately he only takes payment by cash which isnt very convenient for me (I like to put on credit card then pay off), my car goes into CRD this week for a turbo and all supporting mods upgrade so I will report back on how that tune goes too.

The FC does have a cold start set-up and to do a decent tune with substantial mods the vehicle really does need to be kept over night, Anyone with half an idea can get the cold start right with one atempt so two nights is a bit extreme.

Unigroup are good,

CRD are good as too are Just engine management.

Depends soely on your budget and how far your willing to travel really.

I ran on the base PFC maps for over a month. Started perfect everytime.

My HITMAN tune only took 90 mins.....but I did already install it meself prior. I think he also loaded a template map from his data-logit and modified it though which would have made things alot quicker

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
