Tuners In Geelong, Ballarat, Warnabool Etc

[reeceo21]

Hey as stated can someone please tell me some first hand experience people have had with tuners in these sort of towns. Melbourne and adelaide are about 500k away from were i am and i get about 200-250k to a tank so cant really be bothered spending heaps on fuel ( have been suggested that my ecu might be the cause of bad fuel econ) anyways plan to get a tune and hopefully will fix fuel econ problems and also get moar powa ! The engine is an rb20 I have basic mods 3" zorst, big dump, free flow intake, FMIC, Platinum plugs, 600hp fuel pump, rb25 turbo with steel wheel would like to get tuned on 13,5 psi and hope for 180kw. Would like a remapped ecu but may get nistune as i have just sold my other car

Any suggestions ?

You won't find anything locally who will do more than change the oil and say "don't know". DR. Drift and Creatd Motorsports (I think) di ECU remaps, but you can almost go full management for the price.

U need to check all hoses and cooler pipes etc for leaks.

Then buy a new 02 sensor and install. The 02 sensor is in the dump pipe of the exhaust.

U can even try unplugging it first as a dud 02 sensor can be worse for fuel economy then no 02 sensor

just out of curiousity, how important is the 02 sensor, will it make the car run rough, idle rough or will it just use alot of fuel?

Theres a decent place in geelong called "geelong auto tune up" or similar. Have a mate whose had his s14 and 2jz r32 tuned there both with good results. I can try and get some details if you want. I'm originally from warrnambool and theres noone there that can tune anything jap.

From what I understand the o2 sensor only really comes into effect outside of stop start driving.

Cruising along etc

I've never run one. Not important if the tune is good as you can get cruise nice and lean same as what a O2 would do.

My sard 700s are letting me down atm so only getting around 350-400km to a tank at best on the fwy, before that with stock injectors 600km to a tank wasn't a problem on a fwy. ID1000 (Bosch EV4) tune up a bit better so i could swap them and get some economy back if needed but i don't use the car that often so much of a muchness

Hey guys i have had ALL the sensors checked all of them check out its ridiculous the mechanic thinks it may be the ecu its self causing the poor fuel economy. It runs incredibly just very rich. Anyways that would be great jason
