Power Fc Tune - Unique Autosports

[Primordial]

I just wanted to post this dyno sheet to show what sort of difference a GOOD tune can do for car with a PowerFC.

The only difference between the two runs was a minor service, and the PowerFC Tune (done by Ben @ UAS). He did an awesome job as you can see!

Free plug for Unique AutoSports! They did a great job!

[Mr. iNFMS]

Thats a nice power figure.. a nice curve too!

Obviously happy with the output for now?

[Primordial]

Yeah definitely. It's a very noticable difference!

A lot better response now. The turbo that is in there (Apexi unit) spools really quickly now, whereas before it was really sluggish to get going. It's a lot more fun to drive, as I found dont have to concentrate as hard on keeping the revs up in certain corners etc.

But you said it - I'm happy with it "for now"... Give me 6 months and I'll want more. It's the relentless pursuit for more power we all suffer from!

[Mr. iNFMS]

Lol not me.. I just want to win an auction on a damn 33.. then my licence back.. May 23 and were rolling! Im on here to pick up a few tips/tricks before i get it.

224.7kw that would be nice and lively in the hills i bet.. what other mods do you have? 2 Way LSD? Coils?

[Primordial]

Yeah there isnt that many places to really open the car up in the hills (best left for the track anyway!!)

Are you buying privately, or through an importer?

Other Mods:

Apexi GT Spec FMIC

Apexi Turbo (380hp)

Apexi PowerFC

Apexi Boost Control Solenoid

Apexi N1 Coil-overs

3" Exhaust (Turbo Back)

High flow Cat

Bigger injectors (550cc or 700cc, not sure)

Aftermarket Fuel Pump

Standard Coils (For now...)

etc.. etc.. etc..

thats some nasty AFR's on the initial runs.. how long you been running on that tune for?

did ben do much work with the around town/light load maps?

how much did it set you back to tune? and how long?

[Primordial]

I'm not sure of the exact amount, as I got a bunch of other maintenance type stuff done as well.

Approx $450-500 I think. Ben did mention it was a full tune from scratch because there was some silly stuff in the old tune (originally from Japan). Total time on the dyno was about 4.5 hours i think.

I had been running that tune for about 4-5 months..

[Swiper the Fox]

Did you not notice the raw fuel spewing out the exhaust pipe....dont think ive seen a "fatter" afr before. The $400-$500 should be saved in the next few weeks in fuel alone....lol

[Primordial]

lol.. yeah just about...

I would wash my car, and within a week, there was black stuff all over the bumper again... it was very annoying!

suprisingly i didnt get THAT bad fuel economy... about 15.5L/100k.. But it should be miles better now!

[Craved]

i used to whinge at 10.5 - 11L/100km.. but yeah i was doing 100km a day so it adds up lol

[Primordial]

Yeah it does add up, but i'd kill to have a 225kw turbo that does 10.5l/100k!! BTW Craved, where do you live?

[MattSR]

Wow - under 10:1 AFR..

Did you notice black smoke coming out the back or any black marks on the rear bumper?

[Primordial]

Yeah as i mentioned above, black crap all over the rear bar was a regular occurance.

Surprisingly i've noticed more black smoke since the afr's have been fixed. Either that, or i've just got more time to look at the guy in the rear view mirror since gaining the 30rwkw

[paulr33]

let us know what fuel economy you get, am keen to see

[Craved]

Yeah it does add up, but i'd kill to have a 225kw turbo that does 10.5l/100k!! BTW Craved, where do you live?

im from out near richmond (NSW) but yeah driving from out there to pennant hills is a pretty ok drive for fuel savings..

[Primordial]

let us know what fuel economy you get, am keen to see

Yep, ill let you know.

im from out near richmond (NSW) but yeah driving from out there to pennant hills is a pretty ok drive for fuel savings..

Ahh yeah thats a decent distance! I live right near Pennant Hills actually.

Small world, or over population of skyline owners?

[Craved]

think i may have seen you today.. on newline/boundry road..

but i was in a beatun up lancer haha

was about 6:30pm ish ...

Nah that wasnt me, but there are a couple of others in the area.. If it had a black bonnet it was Wilch.. There is also a guy that lives around here that privately imports and sells skylines, so it could have been one of his.

I'm surprised I havent seen you around anywhere though.. do you usually have the skyline around this area?

[Craved]

used to drive it around, but its pretty much been off the road for the last year haha

it was only the wing that made me think of you.. and yeah i know wil pretty well, it was past his house anyway lol

[wilch]

hehe, congrats on the tune! Ben rocks

Yeah, Chris and I know each other pretty well. Check my sig!
