Dr. Drift Re-maps

[gt-t_r34]

hey ppl,

have many people on here had re-map from dr.drift who can share how everything goes now, im debating between re-map and greddy emanage ultimate. re-maps heaps cheaper.

mods will be upgraded turbo, injectors,cams, fuel pump around 230rwkw. nothing over board on r32gtst rb20det.

is there any advantaged with the emange in the long run being easier to tune when its set up or there both the same just the inital set-up of them both

thanks all

Im also considering the remap option for a number of reasons. How much is it worth?

[gt-t_r34]

400 they seem a very good option for street cars he's over altona way, just wondering if theres any down sides i havnt heard of yet...

opne of my mates had a few issues... kept needed retuning. not sure if that was to do with his engine or the re-mapping though.

Had Dr Drift tune my old silvia and current laurel without any problems....very safe tunes

About to upgrade the turbo, injectors and afm so i will let you know how i go

i should be heading up there in about 2 weeks to get my ecu re-mapped. Got quoted from them, $630. Thats $150 per hour and $330 for the tune. Told me id have to be on there for about 2 hours. So ye, hopefully all goes well.

My RB20det that's being put in my s13 apparently has a Dr Drift tuned ECU...but there's no physical evidence on it to prove this. Does Sam stamp or write somin on them usually?

[limpus]

I can vouch for Sam's remaps and his tuning...he's remapped and tuned 2 of my cars to date and i haven't had any problems...for cars with ecus that can be remapped...its extremely good value for money...

And 89 SIL...sam sometimes puts a tuned by dr drift sticker on the ecu cover if he's done a remap but thats not always the case...

Hmm wouldnt 230rwkw be a bit beyond the capabilities of a remapped r32 ECU?

But yeh, he does good work, i think mine was 650 or thereabouts.

I don't really see a problem with that...

I got 230rwkw with hks fcd so I dont think a remap will have any problems making that

[Jpowys]

Where is Dr Drift located? And how do i get in contact with him?

It seems that overall people's experiences have been quite positive, and it appears like a cost effective way of tuning a car with only a few mods?

Cheers

i can vouch for his style of tuning.. i have a mercury motorsport ecu tune which is using the software they bought from dr drift

tune is great and retains stock knock sensors and cold start etc.

only problem is that if you want a re-tune then there's only one place you can go...

with things like a powerFC, you can pretty much go to anyone to get a tune

i had him remap my car a while ago, he wasnt to familiar back then with rb20's he was doing heaps of SR's

i would recommend him to anyone in melb but if your in sydney or bris not only do you pay for the chip but your paying for his time and the cost of the dyno he is renting..

he came twice to sydney to sort things out for me. so $300 for chip and 2 dyno sessions which cost about $300 each. another problem is if something was to happen you would have to wait a few months for him to come into state.

so i wasted about $900 all up on nothing and in the end i switched to an Fcon.

Sam (Dr Drift) tuned my R32 RB20 to 220rwkw without a hitch. Can easily tune up to whatever limits your bolt ons have. 230-240-250+ rwkw even over 300kw can be handled by the stock ECU. The only limit is your engine and mods (especially airflow meter).

I have had no problems with mine and will always go back to Sam if I need more power.

Would recommend to anyone.

PowerFC can be tuned anywhere by anybody, that is the real advantage.
