Any workshop that has a Z tune is serious about Skylines; publishes all their tuning figures online; holds Skyline's Australia nights and is willing to back themselves and tune a Lamborghini Gallardo custom twin turbo set up (pretty confident tuner). Very confident that Adam at JEM knows his stuff.

so, by your summary, every other workshop isnt serious about skylines because they dint have a z tune?

considering there were 20 z tunes released, I dont see how all the serious skyline tuners could own one.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion at all lol.

Ummm... "unique" take on one part of what I said. I thought we were talking about the better tuner and the reasoning to this little portion of my entire comment is that they are passionate about Skylines. In fact, passionate enough to source a bona fide Z tune, which is "one of the most" serious skylines out there. My experience... passion drives performance. Put as a simple analogy, would you hire someone that turned up to a job interview in a flannelette shirt (Don't answer it's rhetorical)

envy did it last tune

For what it's worth that figure with those turbos... the poor little things would have been choking for air. I had my R33 Gtr tuned there back in Brookvale days - boosted hard but the oil pressure light kept coming on and I had to back out. That was -5s 320kw. What boost did they get the 460kw figure at and was the knock sensor and oil pressure sender still attached?

Good choice. Technically not an argument when only one side logical though.

Have a look at JEM dyno diary page to see what they are making with similar setups for reference. It will be interesting to compare how the car feels after the tune with the figure that JEM gives.

I have no affiliation with either? Once you go to both, you'll be able to tell us which is "best" in your opinion.

Most definately can be achieved. Not easy though. Not sure what the oil pressure sender has to do with a good -5 result. :/

Interested to see a dyno sheet. No sender no oil pressure, usually follows no knock sensor Edited by TREGTR

Hey mate my old dyno sheet is up in rb26 dyno results

Why so much doubt? There have been a few results that have done those numbers on -5's.

My post numbers are pretty low and I haven't quite figured out how to access this info. Are you able to help me out with where to find it?

I recommended JEM, perhaps, in retrospect, I should have just put: JEM +1 without any reasons or ellaboration as to why I would recommend them to help you out. If you look back over other comments none have provided reasons, I did. I also did not say they were better, as I have no experience with DVS.

The dyno figure seems high that "Envy" provided for -5s, coming from a qualified mechanic that has built a few. In fact, one of my builds is going to JEM next week that is extremely similar to what you have, hence the interest. Also, from past experience there is a lot more to a good tune than just an outright Kw figure. My intention was to draw the focus away from the outright figure, as this often leads to disappointment when there is no longevity factored into the tune for a street car where your expected outcome "is not 460kw but higher" on that set up.

The intention was to assist - the responses make me wonder why I bothered in the first place. Welcome to SA for the new guy! :/

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
