erd at yatla - halfway between brisbane and gold coast

Use ERD at Yatala for any mechanical work, they can't do tuning however - No dyno.

I use EFI around the corner from ERD. Great guys who do phenomenal work.

EFI did a very good job on mine. Good power, Great response, Well behaved at traffic speeds and good on fuel. Most of the guys in the club use them and every one is happy.

Myself and about 10 of my friends all get our cars tuned at Matty Spry at PITS.

Never had a drama and cars always drive a lot better than they did before.

Another mate has had his RB26/30 tuned by Mark Jacobsen at Godzilla Motorsport and he did a good job also considering the car spends a lot of it's life near or on limiter and never had an issue until it spun a bearing. Going back there once it's rebuilt too for another tune. He runs a Vi-PEC which is Mark's preferred ECU as I understand.

GT Auto Garage has also been highly recommended to me by several people I know that are customers of theirs. I have a HKS F-CON V I have been thinking about running in my current car and they are the only place in QLD that can tune these and seem to have very good results with them.

They are basically the only 3 places I would consider in QLD.

yeah i was thinking along the lines of EFI, or GT Auto Garage, Ive spoken to a few different people in the know and they have said the Autronic, or HKS fcon thanks heaps guys ill have a look at these 2 guys !!! and has any one run either of these 2 ECU's? and can give me any feed back on them...

Had a power fc tuned by Matt Spry at PITS a few years back for the rb25 180. It had heaps of running problems going in with a different plenum etc but ran beautifully when I got it back. Power everywhere and perfect manners around town. I could not believe the difference and how nice it was to drive.

Also had Dyson Rotary from near Harbour Town run up a Microtech tune on the same car later with bigger turbo & fuel system after the power fc got stolen :( and that went fairly well too believe it or not. It was a bit more hairy around town and at partial, but the Microtech's are more like that anyway plus it was it was in a more advanced state of tune too so not a fair comparison.

There are actually quite a few good tuners around this area which is lucky...

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
