'A tune' is not a fixed thing... so it's hard to shop a price for 'a tune'.

Nick at GT is good at what he dose and depending on how much time he spends doing what with your car will depend on what he charges you... it's not very common that a car will roll into his workshop with zero issues/problems etc and only needs 'a tune'.

Just go have a chatt with him, do as much of the preperation work your self as you can and book it in.

Mainly I just need an idle and boost spiking fix as the person who tuned my car struggled with those 2 things as he usually only does power fc's. I didn't have the problems before the tune so I am guessing it's in the tune. Thank you Justin :)

They're usually the two most time consuming things to get right... Idle issues could be almost anything and as for boost, I'd just install a turbotech boost T and solve all your issues all at once.



What else did you change before the haltech install and initial tune? I'd be looking at pressure testing your intake and looking for leakes/split hoses and or missing vac lines.... clean your iac motor etc and making sure your intake is all sealed up properly.



What's the idel doing?

The initial tune didn't have those problems, this is the second haltech tune but by a different guy.

The idle is just dying (mainly if you put the clutch in at 3k+ revs) and will stall at times or come very close.

The changes from initial haltech tune to this one:

850cc injectors

garrett 3076r turbo (with custom stainless intake)

bosch 040 pump

nismo fuel pressure regulator

I had heard boost T's were prone to boost spiking, is this just a myth?

Beau, in honesty you have changed alot between tunes.. you will probably find that your idle issues are as much mechanical in nature as anything else. Do you still have your stock bov? is it plumbed in as standard? are you getting reverb back through the new intake causing map sensor spikes, is your tps set correctly?

Nick can fix it for you, just don't expect a tune will be the solution... sounds like the tune needs a good looking over though.

A turbo tech boost T is as reliable as you can get.... just don't buy any other type/brand of T. Again, Nich has them on the shelf.

Cheers

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
