Hi Boyz and Girlz

Just looking 4 somewhere good in sydney 2 tune my power fc computer on a dyno.

Any1 had 1st hand experience with anyone good or know somewhere that is very good with them?

ThanX

Jamie

:Pimp:

Try Ric Shaw Performance. Dad (Bonkers) has had very good things to say about Ric. See this thread for more details

I will be taking my car there as soon as I get an issue sorted with it.

If you live at noosa though how come your getting car tuned in sydney?

Dan.

my car is down there now alllready and it is hard tryin to find some1 reputable up here.

I am pretty sure i am gonna get croydon racing development to tune it. they have years of experience with tha power fc

Let us know how it goes with the pinging and such after CRD tune it :D

hope u bring ur check book though! my friend supposably was getting his car tuned their for $140... but his car wasn't boostin properly and they had to use a few cable ties to secure the vacum lines (his gts-t s2 got 156rwkw @ 12psi with dumpy back exu & filter is that normal?)....well any way 40mins later when he had to pay they said that'll be $375!!!!.....a bit david jones for mine maybe they jus saw us comin?or may be thats why they changed their names from " croydon autowroughts"... to croydon racing developments.

There are lots of recommendations for tuning and other work - but let's just say I'd never go to any place that change their pricing (much) from their original quote... esp. not $140 -> $375.

Put it this way, I paid $1,000 (for example) to change a turbo and things went up shit creek but it still ended up costing me $1,000 even though I wasted a lot of peoples' time and patience.

I got told on avg it tends to be $600 for a full days work. They empty the fuel tank and fill it with fresh fuel. THey then check all the hoses for vaccuum and ic pipes check plugs and make sure right heat range gaps etcc and just generally go over the mechanicals 2 check evrythin b4 they even start it on the dyno. Then when tuning they don't just change af ratio they can change just about every parameter the power fc offers with the laptop software they use, rather than just stuffin round wit a commander =P

I don't mind paying for quality work

I will let u know how it goes

:Pimp:

You're kidding yourself if you think there are lots of tuners who have the Apex'i software.

Datalogit? Maybe... but not the full on Apex'i licensed software.

I'm not willing to do a full on dyno tune until I'm COMPLETELY finished with all engine mods.

And at this junture I need close onto $3,000 to finish everything off, so hopefully not too far now :(

T.

The power fc commander is exactly that... a commander... you can change evey parameter in the computer that is required for tuning the car that it is designed for, which I believe is some 800+ parameters.

Croydon is not my choice as for the money they charge I can get my car tuned twice at Ric Shaws, and I have heard and seen similar results from both.

that power figure seems low, but then, the dyno settings may have been set to abnormal conditions, or maybe it has a monster torque curve instead :(

ed,

Your power out put is proportional to the amount of boost you run mostly. If it has a power fc the it will manage the engine a bit better and can be programmed to give more fuel change timing etc to gain a little more power. If it had a power fc then probably a mark of 175-190rwkw depending on condition of other engine parts and connections etc.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
