[bored33]

hell yeah! :PBJ:

you are the sacrificial lamb hehe

[siddr20]

hahahahhahahah

I will keep you all informed on how i go.. Not long till friday YAY

[SiR_RB]

im tossing up between a SAFC, NIStune or this toshi remap

so it'l be good to see how you go

[FATAZZ]

im planning to ditch the SAFC for a nistune.

I always learn the expensive way.

[LatinR33]

So his actually working on good friday?? sweet.

[siddr20]

Yup coz i will be there

[FATAZZ]

where is this taking place? name of suburb?

[bored33]

think toshi at north ryde

[siddr20]

yup leaving there now..

Just hope it doesnt rain otherwise no remap for me today

[bloodsword27]

lol not raining as far as i can see...yet! hurry back and tell us how it goes man!

FINALLY got my remap done after sorting out alot of other issues. Modifications are as follows - 3" to 3.5" turbo back exhaust, pod, splitfire coilpacks, 10psi, front mount intercooler - made 164rwkw on a dyno dynamics. Since then I have boosted it to 12psi and remapped with a Toshi road tune (quite freaky looking out for cops) then went on another dyno dynamics and got 190rwkw.

With the road tune, I decided to make it a safe tune with no knocking with margin for summer days. If I pushed the tune to slight knock I would have made 200 easily but then have to spend thousands replacing/fixing an engine when the summer heat has toasted it. With the first test remap, straight away I could feel the better response and after that it just got better until I had to settle for less power but safer ride.

On the dyno graph the curve is smooth as and my AFR sat on 11.6.

Sorry I will not be posting up the graph since on the second and third run my boost just died in the ass and ran 7psi and YET I still made 190rwkw but the AFR was at 12.8 which is the cause for the same power output. Most likely I have a leaking blow off valve as my hoses were not leaking nor blown off. To add, if I had an electronic boost controller which kept the constant 12psi at high end I would have seen a figure closer to 200 as my boost dropped off to 10psi due to the manual boost tee. Just some food for thought.

Anyways, I have been to Toshi a few times to get a remap but had so many problems that occured and he has helped me along the way free of charge. Very nice to work with and extremely helpful. Maybe he wants business but to me thats great business ethics. He doesn't want to give you the best power output for the sake of saying he can tune it for the best power, but he advises on what he thinks is a safe tune that will keep your car running healthy (unless you say other wise).

Long story short - VERY happy with the remap!

im getting mine done in two weeks. the feel from 164kw to 190 kw wouldve been rediculous.

and iv got elec boost controller Sidr20 made 196kw on 10psi. im going for 200kw at 12psi with greddy boost controller.

[bored33]

You will get 200 with 12psi, I am currently changing my manual boost tee back to the greddy profec b spec ii solenoid and turning the unit back on to tune it to hold 12psi. Will put it back on the dyno hopefully next week and I will update with a dyno graph.

[siddr20]

Yea you will easily make 200 mark

Another reason why i didnt go up above 10psi was coz my my 10 dollar boost controller wouldnt let me. Also i had a track day the next day

So thought keep it safe at 10psi.. Never changed it since.

I mean i got 196kw. Doubt i will feel 4 extra kws.

Im happy to hear more and more ppl are getting it tuned by toshi. Great bloke!!

$500 on a remap sounds a bit steep. especially when you're only getting to use it on the setup you go in with, then you've got to spend the $500 again.

ive gone a different route - ive got a mines retuned ECU and an emanage ultimate to back that one up.

i'm currently a part of a group of people that are trialing the 'beta' stage of some new tuning software that will help DIY tuners with PFC/emanage/motec etc. tune their own cars. i've personally seen GREAT results but there are some bugs to be fixed before this software goes into production - thing is you dont have that type of option/support for a remap.

remaps are great, dont get me wrong but you're limited to things like running map sensors, launch control, ign/inj temp adjustment, knock sensor adjustment etc etc etc. for $500 a pop i think you could do better than a remap.

[NISMO]

Was thinking the same thing Joe.

I was about to do the remap but have gone with a Nistune instead. Similar $$'s, but once in it's tuneable through anyone with the Nistune software or you can get your own software license.

Also agree remaps are great, but for the fact that once in, i could go to a number of tuners if i wasn't happy was what clinched it. And all Nistune tuners I've spoken to, are just as happy with it as they are with PFC's etc.

But, great to see you guys are getting excellent results.

$500 include chip , modified ecu and real time ecu tune labor on the road.

Road tune take around 4 hours.

Is this expencive?

I don't think so.

Considering that with light mods, people are getting similar results to power FC's, I think the price is quite cheap.

The price isnt what is being disputed mate, its an average price for a tune. Just saying that you dont have other things as i mentioned above that go with it in the $500. These things matter as your plans for the car change - and often do.

In total, ive had 3 setup changes. first it was the usual exhaust/cooler which i used an SAFC to tune with.

Then i went bigger turbo which i used a remap to look after.

Now ive got a new plenum 740cc injectors, 3.5" exhaust getting the full track/drag setup with around 20psi, launch control, map sensor, ign/inj adjustment maps, knock sensor maps, A/F target maps and data logging which im running off an emanage ultimate that i got for $540 off ebay which i installed/tuned myself.

Just something that ive been through and thought alot about.

How much is it to re-tune a previously tuned chip?
