Anyone know anything about Turbo Tune on South road?

And none of this "friend of a friend" crap please!

had a stagea dyno day there a year ago.

was run by 2 lads my age, tuners dad runs Adelaide Turbo Services and uncle runs Southern hitech dyno.

or vice-versa. Not sure if ownership has changed since. havent got any comments as I havent had work done there before.

news my end, signing a house sale contract this afternoon.

not sure what to do with the stagea, rebuild bottom end and tidy up paint (rust under mirrors, flaking pain around rear wheel arches), or trade in on something like a VE SV6 commodore.......

Lesson learnt I will take a spare service fuse next time :P

I work in sub stations so I cant turn them off (even tho it does happen :whistling: )

I looked at the screwdriver today in the light and it only had a tiny little splat. Those HRC fuses are quick

My car has been on the dyno at Turbo Tune, but only because an unnamed workshop DROVE my car to Turbo Tune for a dyno run to diagnose a problem.

How'd it go there?

Got my 33 booked in for a tune there, just wanna make sure they're decent!

How are they tuning it? What ECU?

My car has been tuned there a number of times but it was Jeff (TSL) that was doing the tuning and just using their dyno.

On a side note, Does anyone on here own a R34 Sedan plate number GTT-034

I had my old 32 there a few times when Dave keen was running it and all was good. His son Michael now runs it but I haven't been there while this has been the case. They have a 4wd dyno tho.

I can certainly vouch for John Keens(brother/uncle) tunes at Southern Hi tech dyno.

Does Anyone have any recommendations on getting a half cage for an s14 before matsuri, either bolt in or fabricated, prefer south of the city.

And tangles if you're keen on a ve sv6 yell out, I work at your local holden dealer.

I'd have to recommend an ss tho, better resale, better fuel economy and way more power!

Ahhh, he's a good boy our Brad, stop picking on him :P

By the way Jet, are you coming up to Kadina Show for the day (Sun 12th June).............it's Ford country out there and if you were to put the "Snot Mobile" up against an Audi R8 (or similar), you'd bring home the bacon by a landslide :rofl2:

LOL, I may even put the Taxi amongst the Skylines to give them a chance of winning "Best Club Display" :nyaanyaa:.............there's some serious ferals in them neck of the woods....bit like a visit to Alberton (God's own country - The Promised Land) :cheers:

      You'll need a 25 head. It's no bueno doing it with the 20 head. The bore diameter is....different. Very different. Hasn't been done in the wold since the larger bore twin cam heads became an option (ie, not since the early 90s!)

      I’ve gone down the Rb30 rabbit hole the past few days and it sounds pretty sweet, only thing that really turns me off is the $2500 price tag for a bare block people are asking around here. That being said I’ve got a snowmobile I could sell to get the majority of the bottom end done lol

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Compression test is good. Leak down is same across the board but could be lower. It's a loose engine, I specifically asked my builder to build it on the loose side as I was planning on running 35+psi. I'm also growing more convinced it's blowby. My engine builder wanted me to do the good old oil in cylinder then compression test to see if it goes up so I'll go ahead and do a cold, hot and hot with oil compression test to see.  I also went ahead and filled my catch can with stainless steel wool to see if it accumulates anything now. I'll report back in 200-300km's.

      I see now that it is liquid. Highly recommended. I have 25Neo in mine. It is nice to have some torque, any torque at all. Something that the RB20 is just completely bereft of. Mine will** pull away from 800rpm in 5th. Same rolling start is best done in 2nd with a 20! **Will, and does regularly. Might even be able to do it from 600 rpm, but that's not really all that feasible in traffic where it would take a bit too long, and is the only place where I roll around that gently. RB30 even better! (Perhaps just not under a 32 bonnet).
