Hi guys,

OK, as a first step we need some firm (ish) numbers so we can try to convince Toshi to visit us in Brisbane to do some remaps.

If we can get a decent number then it might be worth his visit. We might have to pay a bit more for his airfares, but if we split it between us it would be good.

He has asked on his post how many people in Brisbane want a tune. So express here then we can let him know.

obviously I'm in.

Others who have expressed interest are:

PWND

toddlls (GC)

GTST (??)

I'm really not too sure if he does S14 ECU's (SR20DET), you can have a look at that link to the thread of Toshi (4 posts above - from PWND). Best to ask Toshi himself - his thread or via PM.

At the moment expressions of interest are required as we want to know how much work is up here for him. PWND is helping to look at this as well as we are both very keen judging from his work with cars in Sydney.

He can reflash the stock ECU and gets great results.

The price is cheap and costs only a little more than an SAFC with dyno tune with superior results. It has more flexibility and is more powerful than a SAFC tune.

R34 GTT owners he can also do (depeding on model of board I think?) so PM Toshi if interested.

Toshi SAU thread (as above)

Remember Brisbane prices will likely be more to cover travel expenses.

I am definitely interested, as long as the price is around $500 still and there is enough notice for me to sell off my safc/sitc combo

his work definitely sounds like the way to go especially since im driving an auto.

shame he is not local to do a retune after more mods though :thumbsup:

This will take at least a month or so to work out. I don't think it will be happening anytime sooner than that.

How do people feel about doing this on a weekday? ie. Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday.

To cover travel expenses (airfares/accom/car hire) we will need as many as possible. Obviously this also may not happen at all - but I am giving it a try to see.

Toshi feels that it is worth looking into but he did mention the costs and what people are willing to pay will need to match. So perhaps if you ask around?

His comments are:

He can do 2 fairly std cars a day. (He will need details of your car closer to the day)

He can do R32, R33, R34 GTS cars (NOT S14/15 as he does not have daughter board atm)

**** off-topic, how do I edit original post to make clearer? *******

I'll be getting it done, but I'm not paying extra to get him here to do it live.

My planned list of mods are the same as sidr20 in sydney who got a bees dick under 200rwkw.

All I will do is get those mods, then get Toshi to send me a pre-mapped ECU. plug it in on a dyno, all is good.

then send him my one as return.

it'll be around $350 from what he's told me.

I know how most people feel about buying "pre-tuned" tunes, but I don't really care.

If there is a problem, take it out, put in the stocker and get my money back.

IF he is willing to tune it while he is up here for the same price as postal service, then I'm in.

OK, I got a dyno run today and my Air/Fuels are very rich, so I'm going to PM those who expressed interest in the remaps.

I need to know exactly what type of car you have and what mods. If this doesn't work out I am going to get a remap via post like GTST, but I'd rather pay a little more and get it customised for my car live.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
