Touch-Up Tuning Powerfc? Need Help.

[01kings10]

I've bought a second hand PowerFC for my R33 GTST off another member.

He was running all similar mods to my car, as well as his car also being the same year model series 2.

Mods include:

• Intake
• FMIC
• 3" Turbo-back exhaust
• Boost set at 12psi

I installed the PFC 2 days ago, let it run for 30 min to adjust idle, etc.

Problem I'm having now is that the car shakes aggressively under throttle.

So what exactly could the problem be? Is there a known fix for this?

The last owner said I may need a touch-up tune, is there anyone in Canberra that can help me out with that for cash?

Thanks.

Bad idea running a tune off another car.

Best bet is take it to ESP/trojan etc, and dont tell them its someone else's ecu,just say the car is playing up and can they give it a quick run through on the dyno.

for now drop the boost back to standard and baby it.

How much should I expect to pay for ESP/Trojan to do it? I was hoping to not have to tune it until I get a few more mods done to save on costs.

Is there any backyard tuners in Canberra that can set me up with a basic tune? (just need it running smoothly for now)

put the standard ecu back in!

your idea of saving on costs will more than likely end up in you needing an engine rebuild

Zeb is right, you're playing with fire here!!

Unfortunately Skyline ownership and cutting costs don't usually go hand in hand.

As I suggested the other day mate, either have a tune done or put the standard ECU back in, you can't expect to buy an aftermarket ECU with another custom map on it, and plug it in without tuning it for your car.
