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 :)

Cheers bud,

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

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
