Tokyo Motorsport

[fletch63]

Anyone tried using Tokyo Motorsport in Welshpool for a tune.

Please let me know what you thought of their service

[Hank Scorpio]

Tricstar uses Tokyo Motorsports and his R33 GT-R is ridiculously mental.

Tokyo Motorsport has great reviews among the Lancer (EVO) community.

Have only ever heard good things.

[spartacus77]

they use the uprev osiris which i hear is pretty good on the v series and cheaper than buying an ecu

wish i knew that before i fitted the turbs to mine

take a while to respond to emails but reasonably helpful

A lot of places are the same (myself included) but if you ever call up Jamie is EXTREMELY nice and helpful.

In fact they are getting my old (and the missus' current) Legnum on Wednesday for some lurve.

[fletch63]

Thanks guys looks like I chose a pretty good place then

Will let you know how it goes after tomorrow's visit

Tune might be ok but wouldnt let them do any mechanical work

I've had two friends who have being in the scene for several years use there services for a tune with a pretty average financial experience. PM for details.

What does "pretty average financial experience" mean.

[fletch63]

I know what he means !!!!!!

About $1700

[Hanaldo]

Woah... For just a retune?

[3BEPKA]

Take it to C-Red

[fletch63]

They are expensive but they seem very thorough and I'm sure they would do a proper tune.

ie not just a WOT tune for power

As I drive this car a lot for work I want a proper all round tune which does take a long time to do properly so I still will consider taking it to them.

They seem very professional and thorough

But yeah $1700 is a lot of money for a tune

Yeh dude, any good workshop will do a 'proper' tune though. I've never had a problem with any of the tunes I've had at Allstar, Hyperdrive, or Garage 101. My car idles almost like factory apart from the slight note from the cams, and that's with 1000cc injectors. And I've been getting 550-600km's to a tank of petrol for awhile now.

How do you get such good mileage even with cams and 1000cc injectors?!

I've got an S1 25det with power fc, GTRS turbo, 740cc injectors, pod, fmic, full exhaust, nismo fpr and i only get max about 360-380 usually in a 32 with a lot of highway driving. Tuned at Allstar after turbo kit was installed. This was during previous owner, have receipts. Oxygen sensor seems to be with voltage spec according to hand controller readouts.

There's your issue. Ditch the O2 sensor and lean out the cruise mixtures. Biggest fuel saving is the boost transition cells and the throttle enrichment, if you can get your tuner to spend a bit of time getting those set up well then you'll get decent economy. I actually get worse economy driving on the freeway or anywhere around 100-110km/h, the engine just revs too high. I get best economy just driving around town at 60-80km/h.

I get around 9L/100 with O2 feedback turned on.

I do 298km a day to work and it generally takes just under 30L

I've got cams and nismo 740s on power FC. Even during the 1200km run in period before tuning it didn't use any extra. I almost never get onto boost going to work.
