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.

Ben from Unique Autosports tunes my car.

It's been retuned again since. Damn thing is perfect. He redid the profec B spec 2 boost controller too.

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.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
