So who here has had experience with them?

My car is booked in for dyno tuning next week and wanting to know if anyone has used them before, good/bad experiences.

So far very happy with the excellent level of service. I sent them an email yesterday morning and instead of one of those $hitty replies that you usually get from mechanics and such, Trent called me and took the time to speak to me for about 10 mins.

So anyone?

Cheers,

Steve

:P

:D

my car was there last week to get the PFC fitted and a few other minor things addressed, was happy with the results and service.

have since sent a email with a few questions about the PFC and Trent actually rang me back to discuss it. Happy with the service and happy with the results

Also saved 10% by being a member of SAU :rofl:

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will let you all know how it goes next week. Hoping to end up getting more than ~250kms per tank and crack 200rwkw.  

Cheers,

Steve

I was struggling to get 250 a tank before the PFC went in :D

power went up from 171rwkW to 192rwkW and first tank was over 350km :rofl:

and that was even plenty of 'fun' driving (it's amazing the difference 21kW can make to a torque curve)

I get 500kms to a tank and I get annoyed that thats it :P

Anyway, all my mates who have been there were REALLY happy with the service, and quality of work, and most of them are fussy barstards, so should be rite.

i had my fmic fitted there and then car dynoed as well...could not fault the quality of work and was very happy with the service. I work just down the road from there at another car dealership so it is very convenient where they are and they are a bunch of great blokes...trent and his staff. Would recommend to all.

I think they charge about 140/hr for tuning. SAU QLD members (paid) get a 10% discount so roughly 126/hr. Trent says that they should be able to fully retune mine in approx 3 and a half hours.

Dont know what they would charge for just a dyno run, if you mean you just want to get a horsepower figure?

Steve

You need some sort of aftermarket ecu either a full stand alone or a piggy back system. Piggy backs allow you to usually play with a/f ratios, ignition etc whereas stand alone allows you to change everything and anything and also usually have auxillary outputs to add things like intercooler spray or NOS.

Let us know how it goes steve cause im keen on getting a bit more poke and a bit better fuel saving....

Going from the old 31 i thought it was good at 350km per 63 litres with "major mods" to a almost standard r33 and getting 350km from roughlly the same fuel....

Suer Col. I get the car back this afternoon and Trent seems to think that i may get around 400kms/tank. Are you using the standard ecu? If so they tend to run rich. With my standard one i was getting about 300-350kms so your sounds about right to me. Ill post results later today with a/f ratio and rwhp. Hopefully get a dyno printout from them?

    • How do people sell and buy modified cars in Victoria? Because internet says you have to get a RWC every time the car is sold. In NSW the blue slip / full check is only required for cars that had their registration lapsed or are bought from interstate. The yearly pink slip / rego check just looks at tyres, lights, leaks and things like that. They tend to not care about modifications. So can buy a car that is modified as long as it was registered before modifications. And then keep driving it. With the lingering threat of getting defected and fu<ked at any time.
    • I think just better tyres, I'm just on Hankook RS-4 tyres at the moment, which aren't really meant for the track. Also, been mucking around with my suspension for sometime now and I'm really happy bow neutral it is. Car doesn't want to just oversteer or understeer like it did years ago.  Time to put on proper tyres one day and see what the shit box can do at SMSP, One Raceway and Luddenham again.
    • How much work to get you in the 55s? Or just more seat time?

    • It's not "interpreted as" it literally is no more than 1 mod to the intake system. The turbo is considered something that affects emissions. So this has 0.0% chance of passing it's current state. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this would absolutely need thousands to get on the road. Perhaps the seller still has the stock bits, but god knows what state the OEM wiring is to run the ECU, whether an OEM cluster is still available, etc. Generally speaking, RWC testers in Victoria are more conservative than the rules actually are to boot, so even if the car will pass, they won't even want to look at it, nor consult the actual roadworthiness requirements. They will simply throw it in the too hard basket with a flavor of arrogance and move onto the next job, even if the mods you have meet the requirements of VSI14.
