Recomendations For A Decent Tune In Qld?

[Antone]

Hi guys,

Pretty much im running these mods on my r32 gtst:

high flowed turbo

full hks xuast

pod

and boosts up to around 11psi.

just feel like its down on power and could have more potential.

Not looking at spending too much for a tune, but something decent.

Anywhere around south east qld / gold coast would be great.

Cheers

Tone

stock ecu?

[Green_s13]

i would get yourself and safc, it will give you some degree of tunning and go and see pete from pro torque

[Spook's_Skyline]

no ecu, no bother

once you get an ecu, go see matty spry down the coast

[Antone]

yeah would have the standard ECU.

Is it not worth while remapping the standard computer or ?

whats safc?

[Strik3r]

it is worth remapping the standard ECU if your not going to do any more mods... so i'd suggest getting a front mount before you got it remapped, cause otherwise later down the track u'll need to remap it again.

a SAFC is a piggy back computer that modifies the reported voltage from the air flow meter. its good for some tweaking, but if you want to take full advantage of that high flow, either an aftermarket ecu or a remap is in order.

SAFC tricks ur computer. in a way lol.

allows u to change ur AFRs u could just go all out and buy a PFC.

in that case, Mercury Motorsport and DrDrift are the only 2 i know of who have the facilities to remap the stock ecu.

[Antone]

O....forgot to mention it has a FMIC

I dont plan on doing any more mods, only boosting it futher at a later stage.

Would that require a re-map?

[Strik3r]

yes, if you increase the boost it changes the tune. do you have a boost controller at the moment ? if not, i would get an EBC and give mercury a call. they'll set whatever boost you want and remap to suit. Also, if your gonna be putting out more power, make sure your fuel pump is up to scratch.

fyi i think a remap comes in at about $500

[Green_s13]

as the others have said the safc is a piggy back computer, it wont give you the same tune a a remap, however i dont think the total would cost as much, in saying that if you have the $$$ get the ecu re-mapped it is worth the extra dollars in the end

[Strik3r]

SAFC2 = $300-350.. Tune = $150.. so its much of a muchness really.. a remap gives you a better tune/control. the safc2 allows you to change your tune for less...

[markimak]

stuff it if ur gonna run 12psi on the standard sucker ull be fine with the nissan ECU relearning itself and save ur money and buy a full ecu eg pfc.

but if ur doin massive increases eg new turbo injects afm NOS (lol) then u should check afr and tune accordingly.

[Ryan1200]

Matt Spry can also remap standard ecu's he has the facilites too.

[Green_s13]

the standard ecu wont self learn all it will do is run the car rich as it will see more airflow so then add even more fuel and also start to pull back the timing.

I was under that impression also

[r_speedfreak_r]

go see the guys at 101 motor cafe. From my experience there are alot of bad tuners out there and i wouldnt recommend anywhere else

if u do decide to go the safc route i can get it tuned for a very reasonable price and awesome results!!

[subzeroR33]

Go to Masterson motors 3356 9705.

Good price and he knows what he is doing.

[dano4127]

just trying to get an idea of things,

hopefully will be slotting in a new turbo/z32/injectors/pump in the next few weeks what would you expect to pay for someone decent to tune the car, it already got the usuals and powerfc

i know matt spry is awesome from the word of mouth but seemed quite expensive ($500 to do a tidy up tune on the car as it is[tuned by APC previously])

or is that the sort of price all tuners charge
