Hi all,

My power Fc will be arriving in a week or two and im going to get it tuned straight away.

Who tuned your power fc?

I was thinking of going to Unique but i would like to see what other line owners have done.

Croydon is another option too.

What was the state of tune before you went?

Before and after results(including AFRs and RWKW)

I know price will be between 5-600 bucks.

CHEERS

u have so may options mate! CRD are the best, then theres the others such as unique, unigroup, hitman, advan, belgarage, rigoli..the list goes on..the cheapest u will get it done anywhere will be 500 and that will most likely be hitman in penrith. A tune netted me about 25rkws, but it really depends on how your ecu is performing atm. If its coping well with you mods, the gain will be less than somwhere whose ecu has hit R & R and is running bad afr's, timings out, etc, etc...ring around, but youll still be v happy with a tune, even if ur max power is'nt too much higher, as you will notice that your overall power, particualrly in ur midrange is a lot better.

Unigroup gets my vote.

Was tuned but super rich @155rwkw when i dropped it off, no change in boost and power was up to 185rwkw when finished.

Final AFRs are between 11.9-11.6 between approx 4000-7000rpm, i asked for a rich safe tune which is what i got.

Hitman did my tune, he had my car for about 2.5hrs and did an excellent job, car now has 199rwkw with the standard stage one mods and i get 500km out of a full tank of petrol (was getting 350-400km max pre-tune).

Ontop of that he's a top guy, service was excellent. He gets my vote.

Another vote for matt...ie Hitman

He treats you more like a friend than a customer and his work is great with reasonable prices.

I remember a few years back when I went to his new location in Penrith...well new back then and we were bored and so he started to dyno things around the workshop like his Husqi dirt bike....

haha he even dynoed me.....I only managed 0. something hp :P

CRD is a bit pricier than other places, but I would have to say they are the best (That's what Jim does all day-tuning). The new guy at Bel Garage is pretty good himself.

My first tune was at unique motorsports tuned by Ben. I was running too rich and after having my car tuned at CRD and Bel, in comparison I can say the car was not smooth. It was smooth at the time as that was my first tune.

Unique

@ 14psi = 197 rwkw

@ 15psi = blew my turbo (they said the turbo could easily handle 15psi. Little did i know)

CRD

@14psi = 212rwkw

Bel

Whole new setup, so can't compare.

This stuff has been covered a few times, so do a search and you'll get some more info.

While we're at it though...

Mark at MRC in Castle Hill does my tuning. He's very knowledgeable and thorough with both tuning and mechanical work and just a downright nice bloke who takes the time to explain everything to you when he's working on your car. I highly recommend him...

Can't compare before and after as it was a new set up - but my car made 285rwkw @ 17psi with a nice flat AFR of 12 (as evidenced by anyone who was at the SAU dyno day last year).

I tuned my own Power FC....

Damn it was fun and it cost me a hell of alot less then $500.. I had to do it myself as i put the engine together myself too (except crank and pistons cos its a fully forged setup)

Only tuned it to 15 psi going to hire a dyno before i go to 25psi as i dont want to break any land speed records or the speed limit in the process :wub:

any others with a unigroup tune??

Mine goes in there friday - spoken with the guys there and they seemed to earn my business!

Yep. Yavuz does good work. My car has been going on their dyno fairly regularly over the last 3 years to check things are safe after mods were done and was tuned when i originally got my pfc about a 18 months ago, touched up when i got my cams, and then back on for a check at the end of last year.

Their prices are pretty good too.

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!

      They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
