Anyone Got Anything Done By Rotech Or Fueltech?


Recommended Posts

Hey lads, im looking at getting my new boost controller installed and tuned by ROTECH in Devonport...

anyone ever had these guys do anything to their car?

what are they like? reliable? dodgy?

If not who is a good tuner that i can go to to install and tune my new boost controller...?

im puting it on an R33 gtst? does anyone sort of specialise in them?

anyone know of a good tuner in launny?

Im thinking Chris Colgrave or Fueltech... how about these guys?

what sort of boost controler is it? do you know anyone that could put it in (like back yarder) i have instaled mine myself althoe i didnt realy tune it myself but they arent that hard just pretty time consuming.

any of the places you have listed will charge like $70 per hour at least so it will cost a bit to get it put in. but if you like drive in drive away service than get someone to do it. if you like a bit of hands on im sure somone (or myself) may be able to lend a hand, if you want to go down this road search the how to forums as they will tell you were and what wires and vac lines to tap into.

hope that helps

cheers man, yeah well it already has the sources becuase it currently has a boost controller, im mainly after somone to tune it... and take teh blame if something goes wrong.. LOL thast all... i can hook it up myself in about 5 mins i know how they work....

Rotech are rotary guys arnt they?

yeah rotech do rotarys but they also do lots of other mods too especially on r32's ive heard...

apparently they are quite good and laurie (the boss) is a bit of a guru...

thats ok i wasnt sure what you did/ didnt know. im pretty hesident to toutch other peoples cars out side of work because if the slightest thing goes wrong... well you know

yeah thast true man, i prefer other people who are insured against that sort of thing to do it, becuase if they stuff it up you can recover costs.

if you do it urself and stuff it up... well your up shit creek

I get fueltech to do all my work, pete will sort you out....tell him Taz sent you....I have the yellow R33 in there at the moment!

cheers man, so if i say hey.... taz sent me and said you would look after me... he will know you and will actually hook me up?

Beef

just say I sent you his way . you should get looked after hopfully!

a boost controller shouldn't cost much more than $100 or so to fit and tune.

i rang him today man...

$50 all done and dusted.... ready to go..

:O Beef

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
