yep, not real happy either. apparently BD4's dont even have the version 2.1 tuning software either so all i've really got here is a big worthless paperweight.

they tuned mine fine and i have a Fcon V pro..

is there a way of knowing version????????????

jeepus! obviously charing you a premium cos you cant go elsewhere to get it tuned. do you think its worth having the fcon over other popular ecu's, given this massive penalty you are paying to have it tuned?

not having a go, just curious

not that expensive...

i got the map sensor and air temp sensor a lil above cost

map over $300, air temp over $100

and they had to install them..

car was there from 9am- 6pm

$1250 is nothing!!

tuning cost $220 for 1st hour and $150 after that

i dont agree with the 220 first hour..

at the end of the day tom said he put more effort into it and it took much longer, so he only charged me for 4hours tuning..

just to note, i gave the car to tom running like crap!!

and the end of the day it was smoother stronger and he had fixed all my probs!

he also said if the car has any probs caused by his tune he'll fix it for free!

hasn't skipped a beat since..

all i was going to back for is to tune it at a higher boost with ebc

price over phone from bd4's for tuning (SR20det w/ aftermarket turbo, full tune from scratch) was $600

this is very reasonable, from memory, price quoted from ICE performance (in melbourne) for install and tune of power fc was around $1k mark for sr20det with aftermarket turbo...

(install of power fc and z32afm takes 30 minutes or so, so most of that price would be tune, not to mention powerfc's would take less time to tune since they have a smaller map size!!)

If i was in sydney, i'd happily use bd4's the guy i spoke to on the phone when i enquired about the fcon's was very helpful! pity i don't live in sydney though...

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
