We need a price of investment v mods v kw approach for assessment on this forum

I have paid lots of $$$$ to get faster

Other times I have paid bugger all and the car was just as good

Would be a awesome feature on this forum

If you are happy, it's a bargain.

yeah.. Yavus is the professor. His background is from a engineering / emissions development on massive diesel machinery.

He gave all that up, big $ job so he can focus on his hobby... Unigroup Engineering.

+1 for unigroup!

I have quite a few people I have a lot respect for the opinions of who rave about Yavuz, so this thread doesn't surprise me :) Very nice - good results, and good show giving credit... often feels like there are too many threads bitching about tuners and products so it's a refreshing post to read :)

Thats a damn solid result with 5's on a 2.6L Marko nice area under the curve! Looks like a blast to drive. Was at unigroup when your car was on the dyno and and they were just starting to add 98 to the mix... Very nice car mate :)

Thanks for the compliment Mick :)

The guys too were impressed with the results and exceeded their expectations, the head is stock! Literally just has some bolt on mods, very mild setup.

Brett - it does skids only with the handbrake haha, I'm sure u would be happy that I followed suit with Paul and replaced my GTRS's so now u can update your Sig :)

One of my mates has had his S15 tuned at unigroup, mild mods, only making 214rwkw, it feels more impressive than other much more "powerfull" cars. (tuned elsewhere)

Well actually, its awesome, chalks 3rd. Customer service is beyond good, will be getting my cefiro tuned there once I've got the highflow on.

lol no won't be needing to change my signature cause it's still true and the word needs to be spread to the people

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
