Pete from Autotech in Fyshwick can tune it for you.

good to know! i was about to begin patting myself on the back ( really hard) for buying something no one knows how to use. cheers!

At what stage should someone be looking to get one of these fandangled contraptions?

My 33 is mildly modified, if at all (exhaust turbo back, new splitfire coil packs)!

[shredder667]

just buy it. you'll feel good seriously. just don't look at your credit card statement.

You really don't get much out of a pfc without a bigger turbo and a fmic. Then you'll need bigger injectors and a better pump. Then expect 200-230rwkw [depending on turbo type].

So keep spending..................

[Glenieboy]

you did WHAT???

unless i'm misinterpreting the situation, she is now smacking you on the dongle with a piece of fencing wire. when she has finished, set fire to yourself as a reminder to never share secret men's business with her again. lol

could be worse, mine gets just as excited about car parts as I do and then no one protects the Visa card.

trident is right - you will get some gain from a pfc tune but no where near as much as you will if you tune it with the other bits like bigger bb turbo, fmic etc present.

[Glenieboy]

Thats some good advice there scooby. Lucky me, I aint got no missus.Thou there are those nights i would'nt mind. So maybe thats unluky me. argh who cares.Mmmm turbos,Ball Bearing turbos,more turbos,nos,.....

.. thanks for the info. I might add.. I also have added new wiper blades. Oh yeah.. front AND rear.

[Glenieboy]

Did ya get coloured ones?

[datto260Z]

Good stuff, now to upgrade everything else!!

Second Pete at Autotech, he did mine. He doesnt go overboard and just does a safe but good tune.

[S T A R 3 3]

Did ya get coloured ones?

ohh yeah.. with a mild tint on them. quite subtle.

[Glenieboy]

Well I guess in the end,all that matters is that they work. Its suppose to rain tomorrow so you'll be able to try them out.Anyways I think thats enough about wiper blades..

To say that tuning a Power FC without a bigger turbo or injectors wont do anything, isnt quite true... Yes if you have an aftermarket turbo, bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump you will get more out of your tune but if you put in and tune a Power FC with only a bigger exhaust, front mount intercooler and maybe a boost tee (bleed valve) you can make some quite reasonable power gains, I have seen RB25's make up to 200kw at the wheels (mine did) and RB20's make upwards of 180kw at the wheels... RB motors have so much untapped potential.

i just bought it cuz it was a bit cheap i think. impulse buy and retail therapy. i felt better for a few hours.

[S T A R 3 3]

I can, like, totally understand!

No but seriously.. I do.
