DSTROY Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Give Mark Tilbrook at Tilbrook auto and dyno a call, he will tell you straight up what can and cant be done, and how much it is likely to cost. they did my conversion, and it is awsome, but like Damo said, I hope you have deep pockets, cos doing a proper job wont be cheap.

DSTROY Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 ^^^ then why didnt you get him to tune iti say ring boostworx and see who gives the better quote cos tilbrook is a builder not a tuner, if somone can do something better than he can he will let them. he just does what he knows he is best at, and thats building cars. leave the other stuff up 2 the pro's in that field.

DSTROY Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 then why have a dyno and on your sticker im sure it says tilbrooks auto and dyno tuners something like thatbut i agree if some one does a better job then yeah go there the business is called Tilbrook Auto & Dyno, and there dyno gets way more use for diognostics and checking for safe air fuel ratios, than it does for tuning, and they use Martin Donnin for the tuning, who is one of the best in Australia. Just look at their DA car and you will see how good there work is, but hey, thats just my opinion.

jasevr4 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 hey man.. do you know someone with the parts? unless you do, i don't really see the point. 33 front cut would basically be the same price and have all of the bits you'd need..

Madaz Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 ah yeah wasn't sure if they had tuners in there name also the business is called Tilbrook Auto & Dyno, and there dyno gets way more use for diognostics and checking for safe air fuel ratios, than it does for tuning, and they use Martin Donnin for the tuning, who is one of the best in Australia. Just look at their DA car and you will see how good there work is, but hey, thats just my opinion. his is 4wd so R33 front cut is more effort involved to get the AWD sump on the 33 block its doable but might as well get a stagea hey man.. do you know someone with the parts? unless you do, i don't really see the point. 33 front cut would basically be the same price and have all of the bits you'd need..
