  • 4 weeks later...

hey guys was browsing forum found this thread, i recently took my car to aaron as a stocker only had pod filter and 3inch stainless turbo back zorst that i did myself already, for me he fitted apexi turbo timer, safc, fuel pump, piller mount and greddy boost gauge, GFB mach boost controller, FMIC, fuel filter, and dyno tuned my car run a tune into safc, done all this for $939 car come out at 286.9 rwhp at 12psi with faulty coilpacks, was very surprised at his knowldge recommend Aaron as he did a great job on my car and he is very straight foward :).

hope this helps guys,

Adam

Hmm, I thought I would give them a go, cos Lumpy isnt tuning any more, and so many people on here have had such great results

I paid nearly $1000 for intune to fit cams (that I provided) in an SR and give me a tune (power fc),

end result:

lacked power (less power after fitting cams than with stockys), rich as hell, hunted like a pig and stalled alot cold, flat spots (and not to mention he fried my battery isolation switch)

I was very sad.

took car to another dyno, figures were over 20hp down from what in tune's dyno showed, got it retuned (not at intune) I got more power, no flat spots, no hunting and stalling, no pumping soot all over my garage in the morning - and it cost me ALOT less than what I paid at intune initially

Personally I dont want to see they guy again, hear or speak to him. I feel a bit screwed after my experience there - if you know what I mean.

Just chalking it up to a very expensive lesson learnt.

If you have an issue with any tune/work done you should go back to the guy first. I understand why your pissed but at least talk to the shop and see if they will fix it for you ($0). If that doesnt work go somewhere else THEN bag the shop.

You really should ask first

I discussed the state of the tune, I paid extra for him to try and sort it (Yes, I f**kING PAID)

But thank you for your wonderful advice

I posted up here so that others reading this thread would realise that not all things are roses and goodness - and wont end up wasting big $$$ for f**k all

But you please feel free to use them.

No worries buddy the advise is free. Ive heard some mixed result from Aaron some love him others dont. I wont be using his services any time soon.

it's always the way... you'll likely hear good and bad of everyone.

there is one particular workshop i will NEVER touch again, but then others rave about it.

i do all my own mechanical work, but as yet, dont know who id get my car tuned by...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
