Back From Tune

[SkyDragon]

After countless attempts at getting my R33 S2 Gtst to make good power, I am finally there and happy.

It is making 360rwhp and drives like a dream. Prior to this it was making 305rwhp with similar mods. The real difference - the tune (tuner to be exact). Sometimes switching tuners makes all the difference....

[WARLORD BAS]

congrats mate, who is the new tuner?

[geraus]

nice nice to hear brother, what mods did you have? how much Kw's? what computer and which tuner? send me there! i want a re-tune !

Dont want to rain on your parade as this is a huge jump just on tune but was it done on the same dyno in same conditions as this might be a reason for some gain which is not really there?

I am sure that if the car drives in such a way that he has been excited by it, the numbers probably are reflected in driving experience

agreed there would be gains just not close to 20% gain... also worried about the placibo effect you know it must be quicker cause the dyno said so...

i am not trying to be rude i just prefer stats that are real in terms of this... example is my car is identical to my brothers as in we are 100% neck and neck every drag/race but he has 28hp more then me... this is not my skill but a different dyno different day.

good work mate.

care to list your mods?

i had the same issue with my car, took to another tuner & gained more torque, more kw & overall the car is so much better to drive.

some tuners are lazy, and just pull a big chuck off the stock timing and smooth out the A/F ratio, sometimes not even touching the Injection map, they just scale the Air Flow Meter which is purely lazy.

I've borrowed a datalogit and fixed parts of my map up, and added more timing after peak torque (using a combination of old dyno graphs).

yeah there is a certain tuner/workshop in Sydney who tunes just like this...it was a mates car so i re-tuned it properly and made heaps of gains in power and response as well as fuel economy...and i cannot tune for sh1t but know enough to get things looking reasonable. Made 450AWKW the next day at Autosalon and won him a trophy...yay

this workshop charges big $$ too...pretty piss poor.

[geraus]

so who tuned your car bro?

[daisu]

I would've thought the new tuner would've started with a run on the dyno to check the original tune and then progress from there, so it wouldn't matter if it was a different dyno/different day.

[dori34]

^ Yep, thats what the new tuner did with mine,

he fixed up all the dodgey shiet that was done & shiet that shouldve been done but wasn't.
