Both these are in Baysie aswell :rofl:

Techsport for all the suspension setup stuff, i dont belive they do tuning.

And Melbourne Performance Centre as a tuner. matlowth here on the forums is going through a bit of this at the moment with regards to the stock ECU/tuning and all its features.

Drop him a PM as he knows a heck of a lot already as he's been/going through it all now, even tuning his ECU a bit himself i think :)

Definately Techsport. As Ash says, they don't do tuning themselves but send it to MPC which is very close.

I have everything done by Techsport including panel work as Jeff has a good network of contacts out there plus I don't have time to shop for quotes.

They are the first workshop I have seen who do what you ask, show you what they have done (e.g parts replaced and why) and will gladly talk to you about your car, the potential and options until the cows come home. Also very fairly priced too. A big help for me is they are open Saturday mornings as I don't live anywhere near by so getting out there of an evening is quite hard.

Number is: 03 9720 9300

G'day,

As Ash mentioned, I'm currently going down this path now as far as tuning goes.

As far as mechanical/suspension work, I'm getting all that done at Techsport as I've never heard anything but praise for their quality of work. They're very reasonably priced too.

The ECU side of it is a bit more tricky. If you're happy to pay $$$ to get an Autronic or MoTeC, then you'll find that MPC will do a good job.

There are a few products (such as ECUFlash) which have the ability to reflash the factory ECU, unfortunately, there are no shops here in Melbourne (other than AVO) that I've come across which have played with it. Give it time though, as it's very quickly gaining popularity in the EVO community. I've been speaking with MPC about ECUFlash, but as of yet, haven't been down there to show them the software and what it's capable of.

When you're ready to get your car tuned, drop me a PM, and I'll let you know where I'm at re: places to get tuned.

Cheers,

matt

How good is he with new ones tho? Remembering these are new cars, not ones from 10 years ago built to go in a straight line :)

Probably hasnt even looked @ the stuff for the IV yet as Matt said, there really isnt anyone who has

i thought we had no choice but to go to ralliart to get work done without voiding the warranty?

anyone had any experiences with ralliart in melb, costs would be higher then normal im guessing.

growin #'s someone should start up an australian evo forum

:sorcerer: I know a few things you dont i think heeheh.

1) If you wanted warranty, you'd just buy the Ralliart EVO to begin with, carries i think 20k higher pricetag so your paying through the nose.

So its your own call there.

2) There already is EVO forums: http://www.evolutionoz.net/

Cheers! :)

I already said that!

And LOL at letting Dr Drift touch a 60k car.

I know the factory ecu's can be tuned :D

Dr Drift has some info on this but does not have a 4wd dyno.

maybe one of these EVO workshops might be interested in a tuning package?

I was suggesting maybe one of thse godly workshops should get some tips and possibly the equipment to retune the factory ecu so they can be called EVO' gods. The factory ecu is more than capabile for all your needs and is relativly easy to tune.

I agree someone needs to get their hands on the equipment and start providing tuning for an evo that is not running a motec.

tell benno to get a 4wd dyno and I can hook him up with the gear to tune these cheater cars

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
