Well,

I'll just leave it upto the experts to tune my car as they know what they are doing.

Hey, I'm not saying they don't know what they are doing. I've heard really good things about them.

But like I always say, I never trust anyone. Especially when I can research this stuff myself and find out alot of information before I even talk to someone that wants my money...

yeah do some research, then talk to them, throw around some techincal jargons which means " I know what I'm talking about, you f**k with me I'll have your testicles hanging outside my house"

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.

Wil, it's funny when I did my research and ringing around I was thinking unigroup and asked them how long they needed it for. They said X days because we need it for cold start.

I thought the same as you and decided not to use them. I have since used them for a touch up tune and had a chat to them. I mentioned why I didn't go to them originally and they explained in full why.

The gist of it is, and these are my words not Yavuz', he is a perfectionist. He thinks that it is quite likely that the cold start will be fine but occasionally it isn't and he wants make sure. The thing is if he decides to make an adjustment he has to wait until it's completely cold again to see if that adjustment had an effect, hence the need to have it for some time.

He also has a thing about people going to dyno days and getting another tuner in their ear saying this bit or that bit could be improved. He wants to leave absolutely nothing out there for them to bag out.

If anyone doesn't understand or beleive this, just call them and ask for the full explanation.

I normally use Mark from Hills Motorsport who I think is an extremely talented tuner but he is in Japan for a while and was heavily booked in the weeks coming up to then so I that's why I went to Unigroup. Mark also has much more experience than 80% of the other tuners out there.

Im going out to unigroup tomorrow to check it all out.My FC arrived today and im keen to get it in the car.

Anyone care to share what the Base map is like compared to the stock ECU?

Can you feel any difference?

well i dropped my r33 gtst into tunehouse today at marrickville. i havent heard of many guys taking their cars there but they seem to be really good. their website explains a lot about them and the their workshop looks fantastic. i guess we'll wait and see. they sold the power fc to me for $1550 and the tune is $800. the tune does not start from any base mappings but they told me they start from scratch. i'll tell you all about it when done... hopefully will have her back tomorrow.

Ive just installed my FC and it seems to be hunting alot.In the FAQ it says to reset it and start again but it doesnt tell you how.And it also doesnt tell you how to reset the FC?????

Anyone?

193 - well todays standards isnt high, but the whole rev range feels awesome, so much quicker than my 215rwkw LS1 I had previously :( (seat of the pants feel - WSID will tell soon :happy: )

193.8rwkw on 11

midrange is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kewl. Assuming your running std turbo and injectors. Are you running a split dump pipe and hi flow cat?

Also..did you end up getting a EBC or a turbotech?

I'm probably blind and missed your post, Chris, but who'd you end up getting to tune your car?? Power figure looks good.

Unigroup are awesome. Yavuz is very thorough and provides extremely safe tunes with good power curves. He may not squeeze every last kW out, but he always provides a tune which won't compromise the engine's reliability and will provide a smooth power curve for maximum drivability. Unigroup FTW

That said, Jim @ Dart Automotive also provided a nice tune on Brad (blk180/FEAR)'s GT-R recently which I'm impressed by...

Ok, so i have my baby back from Tunehouse in Marrickville. My car went from 140.9rwkw, now i have 204.5rwkw. My torque figures went from 1027.2Nm @ 5196rpm to 1518.3Nm at 4473rpm. very happy with the results. i also replaced the oxygen sensor, now i just have to hope the fuel economies are better...

My mods are:

3.5" turboback stainless Xforce exhaust

Apexi Pod Air Intake

GFB Stealth FX BOV

GFB Atomic Boost Controller (running 13psi)

Front Mount Intercooler

Apexi Power FC

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
