i just got my apexi power fc from nengun for my s1 r33 skyline and i wanted to know what is a decent price for dyno duning it??

ive been calling around all day, and some of the prices are ridiculous.

get this:

i was quoted at 1 place $750 for fitting and tuning.

now fitting is nothing, remove old cpu, install power fc. what a rip off.

and plz let us know of some decently priced tuners in melbourne that can help me out.

thanx guys.

OK... i have a JAP power Excel software + Lap top interface, also have a 100 pages long of manual from Guild to Tune power FC form Japan too. I have paid someone to convert the whole Fuc*** 100 page to english too.

Now i am thinking of selling it... anyone intrested.

i called ice performance also, they werent to bad, prices start from $450 if i remember correctly.

havent called creatd, might call them.

i just didnt think dyno tuning would cost that much thats all.

thanx for the input guys. any more places??

i called P.E.T, ice, technik, JPC.

i think thats all of them

ask a workshop with a new 4wd dyno what they paid for it and you wont think the price is high afterall.

Sure, some of them can do it cheaper. But they are giving you a bargain basement price so you book it in.

They wont go into much detail with the tuning and you will end up going back spending more money because: " the cold start is shocking " doesnt idle properley " " bad economy " etc etc.

Understand these places are quoting based on how many dyno hours they estimate it to take. The average price is approx. $100-$120 per hour from memory.

A cheap price sometimes means a cheap tune. The factory engineers spend hundreds if not thousands of man hours getting the factory ecu to run as it does with the perfect cold start etc etc.

Dont kid yourself into thinking that somebody is going to come close to emulating this in a couple of hours.

oh, and if you look around this forum, in VIC, ICE has a excellent reputation and has obviously tuned a lot of power FCs on R33s.

Wont be paying them to learn how to tune it.

You would get a very good " tuning progress per dyno hour " ratio as there would be less head scratching.

ok then, thanx for the advice. ICE seems to be the favourite.

and thanx for the detailed answers.

i'll give ICE a call today and book an appointment, just hope its all worth it.

anyone know if i will be getting better fuel economy, cos at the moment its shocking

anyone know if i will be getting better fuel economy, cos at the moment its shocking

it should while cruising, yes.

my economy is dreadful, PowerFC going in within as many weeks and that should clear it up.

Others have had similar results

just got my car back from Creatd.

I swear Rob is a genius.

i got a 42rwkw gain just with my power fc and excellent tuning.

i had 178rwkw when my safcII was dynoed last year and i got 220 rwkw today with the power fc. im rapped.

as soon as my digital camera charges i'll post the dyno sheet

current mods are:

3" exhaust from turbo,

600 by 300 by 76 fmic

dual stage turbo smart boost controller

pod filter

power fc

excellent tuning

and still on stock turbo

i'd recommend Creatd to anybody

thanx Rob

how much did creatd charge. 220 rwkw it shit hot from the mods u have

most poeple get that from hiflowed turbo. very good

i paid $300

im very surprised with the results, but happy.

and the car runs so much more stable,. smoother and feels a hell of a lot more reliable

we'll see how the fuel economy is

how much did creatd charge. 220 rwkw it shit hot from the mods u have

most poeple get that from hiflowed turbo. very good

220rwkw is way too optimistic... if you had a bigger turbz i'd believe it.

But as long as the car feels better, dont worry about high reading dynos. Driveabllity is more important

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
