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?

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
