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?

    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
