can anyone else add their success stories with the 2 tuners?

any negative feedback?

You can't put any negative feedback on this forum , you should know that .

I can tell you though that Ben has tuned several cars for us over the years and i always got good resaults .

As you know Miks car has run 11.3 @124 mph with normal street radials on stock rims and with normal weight ( 3720 pounds =1675 kg ), he has the same mods as you have, on stock internals .

My old 33 gtr was good for 11.7 @121 mph ( heavy 18x10"rims + 265 street tyres ) only mods N1 turbos ( r 33) , power f/c , full exhaust ( 3" ) , and ebc .

Everything else stock even had the stock airbox and a single plate clutch !

Ben will not tune your car for max peak power , what you will get is early turbo spool up and good average power , thats what i'm after .

My r34 is going there next thursday for a tune , i wouldn't take it anywhere else thats for sure .

As far as servicing and repairs goes , i can't comment as i wouldn't trust anyone to do it , i do all our cars .

I hope you get good resault where ever you deside to go , you should have a very quick car with your setup .

he also made mention that he uses japanese software for tuning as he reads the language (being japanese origin)

I noe ben personally and yeah hes been mucking ard with these for close to 8 yrs

but hes not of japanese origin.....kekkee he can read japanese though

Im basically of the opinion that they both do a great job, but the facts remain that CRD are the top dog, but BEL are snapping at the heals with a "willing to improve" attitude...

both will turn out a good product, and I am sure anyone using either will be most happy with there GTR.... a bit like tyre choice, mostly personal....

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
