arrgh got another tune....no leaks found and car only makes 237.7rwkw......on 20psi (midrange) dropping to 14-15psi (top end).....time to get onto Hypergear as this turbo should be easily making around the 250-260rwkw mark.....

From what I've seen, Hypergear always inflates their power figures, that's just in my opinion though

ok so i have called the tuner AGAIA, and now he says that he didnt think i wanted to get the car tuned anywhere else but with him hence why he didnt put the nistune in..

is there more than one nistune? coz i asked for a nistune..

i didnt think there was more than one nistune..

any ideas what i can do..?

he is pretty much not doin ne thing to help except tell me i should have gone back to him..

the idea is that on occasions like this when i need a tune ASAP and the closest place is boost works then i go there...

Adrian, without knowing the exact circumstances of the original conversation it's pretty hard to comment.

But if in fact you made it clear that you wanted a Nistune and he understood exactly what you meant but failed to deliver, you have every right to a FULL refund under consumer law......regardless of how much work he actually did.

You are also not obliged to return to him so I can't understand why that flakey arguement is being used.

OCBA PH: 8204 9777 will tell you the same thing.

Well here I was on the way visiting a friend in seaford tonight when all of a sudden I see some headlights bouncy down a side street to my left. This car had easily been doing over 100, basically I had to swerve and put my foot down for him to miss me. He's come out of the side street and straight over the medium strip.

Shook me up for a good 30mins, as I could of easily been killed.

^^^^^^^ Thats really bad luke hope your ok

too kind ! :P

i know ill bring it to the track on monday, hopefully i come got Dr's for my wrist on the monday as well

This is sort of what i told Adrian, i also got emails from from 2 other Dyno places out lining the Nistune, what it is and how much it should cost so he can take them with him if he does the comsumer affairs thing

I'm going to jump on the anti hyper-gear bandwagon,

I wouldn't recommend them to anyone or use any of their gear personally.

From what I understand the customer service is great - untill you receive the item and then have issues with it and this is where the customer service falls apart

A friend of mine recently had a PU highflow done, the first time the dump flange looked very rushed and nasty, hypergear paid for return postage and made up a complete new exhaust housing/flange which has just arrived back in Adelaide this week, so would have to disagree with the poor after-sales support.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
