Just want to tell everyone that I went to boostworx for a tune (safc) recently and I would highly recommend Shaun's work to anyone!!

I gained 10kw just in tuning/ignition timing because my last tuner was a little too conservative (was still a good tune, but just maybe he doesn't specialise in nissan/apexi tuning as much as others).

Shaun's ability with skylines/stageas is top notch - as many people on this forum will agree.

I'm very happy with my car's extra performance! Worth every penny! (prices are very low too) :D

EDIT: P.S. when I say the other tuner was conservative, for example my AFR's were sitting below 11:1 and ignition timing was either stock or a bit retarded ...Shaun managed to get the AFR's up to a flat line at 12:1 and advanced the timing whilst still keeping it safe. :yes:

Getting my car back 2day and getting my tune there soon after my FMIC.

Good stuff Paul. Try to book early otherwise you may end up waiting for 3weeks to get it in.

My plans have changed.. lol I'm going a GT35r .82 int gate turbine with an xr6 .5 comp cover.

Should do exactly what I want it to. :)

Yes Shuan is a top bloke, Mate and i were there yesterday working on his IP race car, whilst Shaun was working on his! I'm starting to think he needs to employ another off sider! he is always booked to the max, and not too mention they are the "Dyno Day Kings"

Ive decided on Boostworx for my tune on the RB25det stagea. Original 2 tunes were with Graham West Workshops but I feel they are on the expensive side, and was going to go to Turbo Tune but thought bugga it, lets do Boostworx seeing they have such a wide support network here on the forum.

Next Tuesday 27th Feb at 9am for a few hours is the golden day. Dropping the front AWD driveshaft and tuning in RWD mode.

Question to the experts : had the highflow turbo from Slide on now since November, worried about afr's etc with the summer heat (been on low boost, in fact hardly driven it in the heat). Should I go for a 1bar or a 1.1bar tune? Dont want to stress the motor over the next handful of years, as I wouldnt be able to afford a rebuild. Maybe in 5yrs time but not in the near future.......... opinions ?

She's got all the bits bolted on her, such as 040 fuel pump, dual stage EBC, Z32 afm, apexi SAFCii and SITC pigybacks, fmic, cai with pod filter, radiator air guide, etc etc etc, loads of goodies.

A: dont be to soft on it, or she will carbon up to much.

1.5 Bar should clean out the cobwebs and get the stag really humming..

or

b: 16 psi will be fine, just make sure on boost your AFR is around 11.5 and no higher.

and keep pinging below 15 and it will last forever...

if your really concerned about it lasting for years in the heat, then get it tuned on 95 ron fuel,

once tuned only run 98 ron fuel and you will never have an issue when it gets hot.

how much power are you looking for?

Darren

Shaun will see how it goes on the day, i.e slowly wind boost up until the limits of the std ecu and piggy backs are reached.

Do the Stagea's still have the dreaded R&R? This will be its limitation BUT with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator you may be able to push up fuel pressure and then lean it right out with the safc, you won't have to worry about it pinging its head off due to the lesser load points and more ignition it runs as you can pull ignition out with the ITC.

Looks good. ;)

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
