100k Service!

[clkngezz]

Hey i just had a service and tune up on my rb25det new NGK Iridium plugz, oil, filters, timing belt and tune up and timing!

some how the car doesnt feel as responsive as it was before the service?? going past 3 grand turbo kicks in but not much then once i hit 5 grand, bang car pulls like a biatch??? before the power was very evened out and didnt feel much of a difference in higher revs!! any ideas guys?? it was tuned and serviced at goodyear performance mechanics?? I had a few thoughts as in timing belt might be tight and need loosing up <---- probably not likely, or the gap in the spark plugs is not right?? anybody had the same problems??? NEED HALP PLEASE

I would say the gap in your plugs..

Bring them down to 0.75-0.8mm

Ask the tuners who tuned your car if they played around with anything?

What ecu you got?

its all standard!! cept for filter! it was just a mechanic at goodyear not a import tuner!!! maybe i should visit xspeed or sik em wrex in wa or something!!!! very worried! would wrong timing change the rpms the tubro kicks in at???? or even a tune!!! what do they do when they "tune it" and do the "timing"?

[siddr20]

they tuned your car with stock ecu??

Yup changing the timing will deff alter the car!!

I think the timing should be about 13-14 i think from memory.. hmm mind blank..

I say go back to that goodyear shop and ask them exactly what they did..

Go to a proper mechanic who deals with imports and tell him exactly what the goodyear ppl did..

Ask him to check the timing again.. This will only take a min or two with the gun..

ohh and post the sheet with all the stuff done to your car.. this will help also!!

as far as i know its a stock ecu! yeah doesnt say that he did the timing! says replace spark plugs, check timing, ignition components operation! i did notice over the cam cover were the timing belt it there is a white line! just over the cam sensor! does this mean he did the timing?? as i was saying before what is it they do when they TUNE IT UP?? i had a feeling i shouldnt have taken it to them!

Mind you the temp out side today was 36 or something would that make a huge difference to poweR?? i do know that the pod does get awfally hot under that bonnet!
