MisterTwo,

a friend of mine took his car (R32 GTS-T) to Technik Tuning for the first time not that long to get his Unichip tuned for 20psi (as his unichip was tuned for 16-17psi) and when they gave him a prinout of his power/AFR and power/MAP to show that it was on 20psi he thought it was all sweet (but a bit down on power 195rwkw compared to 222rwkw) until he drove it home only to see that it was back on 15psi and that it felt slower than b4.

He called them up later on to ask what the deal was and they told him some crap excuse that they couldn't control boost up near 20psi so they turned it back down to 15psi and tuned it there.

That's all fine, but they didn't tell him that when he picked up the car so that's dodgy if u ask me.

Also, how do you figure that $300 later, your car is going slower than what it was prior to the tune.

So, given this i'll let you make your own decision, but fyi, you won't go wrong with Ben from RacePace Motorsport and your money will be very well spent. He is a gun when it comes to Skylines and Power FCs not to mention all other ECU's and he takes a lot of pride in his work.

FYI, he is the guy that tuned Leewah's GTR which made 495rwkw at the MAS in his R33 GTR. He also built his R33 GTR which is making a shit load of power aswell.

    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out 
    • I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.
    • Can't help it, its an illness. 
    • Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
