who is this toshi guy?

does he have a workshop/website or does he work from home??

http://grapevine.com.au/~marzenna/

He's on the forum, just PM him (his name is Toshi on the forum as well). No workshop, but he has a wideband sensor and knock microphone....

^ hahah that rhymes.

Yea i thought that website mrkotter posted up didnt look familiar at all..

Plus the site looks old too..

Toshi, im going to get my car on the dyno tomorrow!!

I will send you a pm with my dyno figures..

If anyone else has any questions feel free to ask..

yes..

another think i'm abit worry..

how fast do u have to drive ur car for the tuning? are there any cops around? cause i don't wanna drive like 80/90kms in the 40 zone (don't have many points left lol). did u do it on the back road or highway..

i'm gonna get mine done next week.

cheers

Ford

I drove on the highway which is a 80 zone.

Few times you take it to redline in 2nd gear.. But you drive normally testing out each gear!!

Like 5th gear up the hill going at 80..

Once initial map is done and tuned, then you go to the freeway which is a 110 zone and test out third gear to nearly redline.

I did mine over double demerits, so you should be fine lol..

But yea be careful of cops..

hahah thanks drew!!

I know you recommened me this about an year ago!! lol

Well i was leaning towards the power fc and i did end up buying it.. But far out it costs soo much to tune and the power fc itself..

I saved myself 1.5k and the remap does the same thing (for stage 1 type mods anyways)

Edited by siddr20

he can remap with bigger turbos, but i guess power fc will be more effective to fine tune things..

But im not gonna go past stage1..

I was power hungry, but im planning to go europe end of year once uni is finally over!! So will need money for that lol

Then next year, start working full-time and save up for a better car plus house :thumbsup:

Well got it on the dyno today..

196.2kw at 10psi

Theres something wrong with my 22dollar bleed valve lol..

I remember at the remap i was trying to increase it, but the guage just wouldnt go past 0.7 bar.

But the car felt a lot more powerful, so thought perhaps my 300dollar guage was faulty lol.. or a leak!!

Anyways on the dyno, it still showed boost at 10psi.

I reckon with 12psi it would be easily 200kw plus

But im happy with my results..

Nope :)

Might go back tomorrow and see if they can still print it out for me?

or perhaps do one run for me for free and check it. But they said it seemed fine.

They gave me another graph with Torque figures (Nm) on the side??

At 130kw, it read as 4500 - top peak

NO idea what that means!!

Edited by siddr20

yeh my dyno dynamics printouts read torque in newtons rather then foot/pound. Although maybe its just set that way.

anway it would be interesting to see how flat your afr's are

Looks like theres more left in that top end too

This is sounding like a hell of a good option for me lol... Only problem is I'm in ACT... Might have to organise a trip to Sydney.

How do you think it'd go on a 33 GTST with a front mount, cat back and a planned boost increase to 9-10psi?

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
