Hey guys I'm from Brandon MB, I recently bought a 1993 GTR with my wife. originally imported from b-pro yadda yadda yadda. Its our third gtr but this is the first one that we need a tune on. We have replaced everything on the car from -7's, splitfires with new iridiums, complete wiring harness, water pump, rad, thermosostat, all the sensors, mafs, 02's.  Runs like a dream no issues. although I want it tuned for safety either with or without the mafs ( go haltec).  If anyone has some legit good info on good guy tuners in Calgary please send me there number! I Wanted to take it to vex but didn't get along well with the guys as they told me to put my stock turbos back on because they can make 400 horepower and my -7s were a waste of money. Obviously still a great shop not bashing them just not going that route.  thanks boys happy new year. ill get some pics up of her very clean black 1993 gtr. feel blessed.

Thanks we have worked hard to finally be able to get into another gtr. I’ve blown the ceramics before at 1 bar. -7s spool awesome And sound great. just need someone to tune it now for safety and a better power curve, any tuners in Calgary or Medicine Hat that know these cars help a bro out? I don’t care about power just want a safe tune and want to use haltec and delete my MAFs. 

I was quite surprised when I called vex and they told me my -7s were a waste, probably because I never bought the turbos from them but oh well. They didn’t wanna take my money so looking for someone else now.

ya I've finally narrowed it down to a haltec ecu. my buddy owns the Toyota dealership here and just bought his own dyno for his big power supras. The boys are handy  using the haltec programming.problem solved gunna tune it ourselves as the haltec comes with a great base map. thanks for the help tho. cars ready to rock excited to see how far we can push it

messed aound with the haltec on our dyno for a few pulls got the car running nice with proper air fuel ratios.  still want to bring the car to someone that knows more than I do in the Calgary area.  Ive now talked to a few guys that have mentioned REV'D performance.  seem like good guys on the phone if anyone has anymore info shoot me a pm thanks!

also im willing to go to Edmonton for the tune but really don't have any connections in the area. car is completely setup ready for e85 just need the tuner now.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
