As the thread title says I am looking for someone who has done this particular piggy-back on this particular model multiple times and can tell me what I need and will quote me before install.

I don't want to fry coils etc and I have no idea which ultimate I have purchased ie version so basically I want him to look at the thing, tell me what harnesses I need and can give me a good tune for cruise aswell as top endc conditions.

I want your feedback but only if you have done this more than a month ago. recent install feedback are not wanted unless you have had issues with a given tuner. Time tells etc.

Anyone else with an s2 33t and there are many of us but also have a Greddy ultimate installed ?

experiences ?

harness requirements.. ie coil pack issues with ignition harness etc..

crd = 750 no details of tune so far but have been warned about work done of them of late from various sources.

hills = 490 >> 3hr dyno tune + 1hr road tune etc.

so far its hills for a mile... had many good reports of them from mates and the uncle got a fair chunk of work done there a while back which he thoroughly recommended which put me on to them in the first place so yea... unless someone can beat that im sold. Was interested in helping me achieve what I wanted and also warned me about the mixed results of the greddy stuff and was pushing full replacement ie pfc. I already have the ultimate so meh il go with that until its no good to me. for hte power im chaseing 240-250 rwkw this should be sufficient i think.

be careful where you go.

i went somewhere who told me they 'can do emanage easy etc etc'. it was one of the ugliest tunes and experiences with a workshop ive ever had.

at first, R&R kicked in. he had no idea on how to use the boost cut feature to get rid of it. he told me that this was a common problem and that i needed an extra part to fix it.

because i got familiar with it before i went in, i had to adjust it for him!

i ended up not paying for the tune and walked away pissed off for wasting 3hrs for a shit tune. if you want to know where to stay away from, hit me up with a PM and ill tell you.

    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
    • He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛  
    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
