i dont see how the remap killed it, it sounds like human error

the pfc may have helped with the knock light going spastic

if you were using the pfc and the boost kit and you ramped up the duty cycle

it would have done fuel cut when it flew past 0.25kgcm2 of the target boost

so you would have been ok and failing that the knock light would have been going spastic

with the remap the ecu would have seen stackloads of detonation and should have dropped to the low octane map

i would have thought this would have been enough to save the engine, or was that "remapped" too?

just curious & love learning so relax :rofl:

That's what I said. It was my fault.

This thread is like bumping into an ex for me. Not pleasant. I'm happier calling it my fault than thinking it wasn't tuned better.

paying 500 dollars for a tune is akin to paying 5000 to a lawyer.... you are paying for experience not for hours spent.

i think 500 for a full faultless tune is a bargain but i do have issues with people charging 500 to tune mearly the power curve which many do.

I agree with you about experience and qualification when you put it that way.

what i'm trying to say, is that with a lot of research, and if you know what you're doing, you mmgiht not be that bad off. I have a friend who's been going about it like that, and while he might not make optimum power/torque, his tunes are fairly good. He makes them very safe. I'd happily let him do my car (won't cost much at all).

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
