Barry the gun!

[Hicks]

Just wanted to inform everyone that I took your advice and went to barry's today. If first impresions counted I would have turned around and walked out. The place is an absolute mess!

But turns out he knows his shit. X-speed hadn't even set up certain things on the s-afc. The car pulled 260bhp on his dyno which is a huge difference on the road, and for this he only charged 80 bucks!! This included advancing the timing.

And adam, your right in saying he always looks stressed!!

Anyways im pretty happy, my car feels like it should.

[Boostzor]

Oh well i almost beat u once. Ahh those were the good ol days:D

[Hicks]

Ha ha.

Feels like so long ago.

[Gradenko]

Good stuff, glad you're happy!

I'm sure there may be equal/better tuners in Perth, but not at Barries rates.

[Hicks]

Yeah, I couldn't believe how cheap it was.

[simplelogik]

Hicks, can you please give me the detail of this 'Barry'. I need a cheap tuner as well.. I just got myself a Skyline and I'm now broke!!!!

Thanks

His company is Barries dyno and computer tuning.

9350 5829.

230 railway pde queens park.

He Knows what hes talkin about, even if he does work in a bit of a dump.

How is he with power fc's. I have been have been having a bit of trouble with the idle since it has been fitted?

[Gradenko]

Steve, I'm sure I heard him talk about pfc's at one point, so he has experience with them. When i picked up my car, there was a guy dropping off a vlt to have his wolf3d tuned. Since Barrie tunes stand alone management, he should be ok with pfcs.

[deesh]

im taking my car in tomorrow to get sorted, ill ask about pfc's cause theres one for sale i wouldnt mind grabbing, if i can scrape up enough cash.

let you know.

[Steve]

Thanks guys:)

[adam 32]

slightly off-topic, how does barrys dyno read? are those figures high??

[Hicks]

I don't think so, Bout the same as formaz. So if anything i'd say they'd be lower than higher. I pulled 230bhp on formaz before barry tuned it, today pulled 260bhp on barries. 280bhp on genie!!

But thats bullshit!! (I wish)

[adam 32]

ah ok. dinesh 280rwhp with std turbo aint a bad tuning job at all! is that on 12psi?

how barrys dyno reads just puts his tuning abilities in perspective with other places thats all.

hicks; u runnin 12psi through std turbo as well?

[Hicks]

I'm runnin 14psi through std turbo.

[Gradenko]

adam 32, I'm running 0.95bar through the standard turbo, so around 14psi. I have no real proof, but I think barries reads slightly higher than formaz. Afterall, macka couldn't be making only 15hp more than me, could he?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I've known Barry for a while now, and if he can't tune it then no-one can. The other tuners end up sending there cars to him when they don't know what to do.

I agree the place looks like a shithole, but his is a dyno-dynamics dyno, which have the reputation of being one of the best. He has a great reputation but don't try ringing when he's busy. I was standing there getting my car tuned once and the phone keeps ringing and ringing without him lifting his head.

Good to see that you finally got that S-AFC tuned properly Hick's, I'm expecting great things from you at the drags tonight, and then we can meet later to compare our cars.

See'ya:burnout:

.... Macka someone is following in your footsteps....I take it Hicks that you are saving for a hybrid or aftermarket turbo then? Until i can practically afford a new turbo or hybrid/hiflow I am running about 10.5 sometimes 11 psi when pushed and that is with FMIC.

ESPECIALLY WITH SUMMER COMING UP! you may want to be careful at 14psi, i don't want to hijack the thread and i know this has been discussed many of times but Macka can confirm for us that running this boost aint the boost of ideas when giving your engine a bit! feels great for now....... but it's only a matter of time till your ceramic wheels gets shat out of your exhaust pipe like Mr Whippy with laxatives!

you mean like macka at the drags... muhahahahha!

.. how MUCH smoke came outta that! jeebus! it filled the entire track hey!

[puckish]

Barrys is neat compared to the OS Giken Factory photos I've seen.

He's kinda like those Japanese back street tuners you hear myths and ledgends about.
