Reputable Workshop Recomendations

[craig R33]

i recently (last week) went out and bought myself an electronic boost controller, GReddy Profec Bspec II, while not exactly top of the range, its good for what i need it for,

now all i need, is a workshop to install it, and give her a dyno tune (badly in need of one)

can any one recommend a shop? and rough price?

thanks in advance

errrrrrmmmmm.........any one awake? lol

what ecu?

standard.

then there is nothing to tune.... but you could get it remapped by speedlab etc there in adelaide.

best bet is to get a mate to help install it and set it up on the road. Best boost control settings are ALWAYS done on the road as a dyno CANNOT perfectley replicate road conditions.

then what the fark is wrong with it if it cant be tuned? it spools up hard like normal, but only pushes a whole three-5 pound boost! its slowly getting lower and lower!

i got told to get an ebc and take it to be tuned.

is this the prob? or do i have a bigger prob on my hands? like a dying turbo?

Stock ECU's can't be tuned (or re-tuned easily) the boost controller could be "tuned". But its more just putting the settings on the controller correct.

If your losing boost you may have a problem which a workshop could assist with, how are you measuring boost though?

Also, most states have a recommended workshop list, I'd recommend workplace, just drive to Bayswater, Victoria

ha ha, bit far to drive mate, im measuring the boost on the guage in the stock cluster, and the autometer boost guage i had installed, both read the same, and trust me, it feels no where near as quick as it used to..

stock ECUs can be tuned easily ... just for R33s not cheaply. Looking at about $1000 for a specialised daughterboard installed on those ECUs and plugging an emulator into one of those

^^^ as mentioned 4 posts ago

ps do you like the nistune gear? im very happy with it so far and find it piss easy to use..... as long as the cars consult plug is working

Read your profec instruction manual, then go to a quiet bit of road somewhere with a friend and play with settings.

Since its a stock 33 turbo 12 psi is an appropriate amount of boost. On mine i do set to 50% gain to 20 and set gain to 12 and that gets about 12 psi.

Just as long as you notice when you go over 12 or so psi and de tune to less pressure so you don't hurt your turbo.
