Haysey Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 CRD were going to charge me $250, and kept telling me my car would have to be retuned, even though it was tuned perfectly just needed to have the boost controller setup... Went to C&V told them it was tuned, told them all my mods etc etc... they tuned it... (took about 30power runs, was playing up a bit)... gave me dyno print outs... told me to take it for a drive to make sure i was happy then come back and pay them $150... done and done Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169105-power-fc-tuning/page/2/#findComment-3129006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 mr 1h82bu, I'm going to do you a favour. on the forum we expect a minimum level of coherent comunication. this is not a text message to your cuz. this is a question posted on a forum. spelling mistakes happen, poor grammar happens. lack of capitilization happens. BUT typing non-stop in this sms crap is going to mean you are in for a tough time on the forum, and eventually mods and admins will get sick of the conflict it (you) create and you'll get the boot. so please do us a favour and type in the best english you can muster. please.

Bonkers Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 would u care to share ur experience.. was it a bad tune ??? was it not wat u expected ? details plssss After their 'tune' the car was pinging excessively during normal driving, which as you know can kill an engine - I took the car back to them two more times for no further improvement. (and no refund) I live in the Blue Mountains so obviously this was a huge inconvenience. I eventually took it to Ric Shaw who got running fine. The last tune I had was Bel Garage (different car) and I was impressed with them. They do a road tune then finesse it on the dyno depending on what application you want it tuned for. It is actually important that you decide what your application is and let the tunner know - if you get the car tuned for drags don't expect it to be happy in the traffic. From the feedback on the forum over the past couple of years it seems CRD, the Hitman or Unigroup are the go. i hpe i hve put ths in trms u kan undrstand Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169105-power-fc-tuning/page/2/#findComment-3129369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birnie Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Bonkers, Any reason you don't use The Hitman? Penrith isn't far from the mountains and he has a good rap, and decent prices.

Bel Garage is like 5 Minutes away from my house all my friends have tuned there cars there too they havent had any problemss... Cam wheels were all over the place as were the fuel maps std cam rb26 with hks 2530's at 1.2bar on unigroup dyno car made 260rwkw and best time out at WSID I think was a 12.3@112-114mph and air temp about 16deg. So yeh pretty much not performing as it should gave it to Ben at Bel back out at WSID with 28deg air temp the car went 11.9@117mph on the first pass and then a few months later 11.6@119mph with a slipping clutch air temp that night about 20deg . Rolled the car back up on the unigroup dyno it put down 300rwkw so yeh bit of a difference . I don't know who does the tuning at Bel now but Ben isn't there anymore but he does still tune and uses a dyno log dyno in the Gong . I haven't much to do with these things anymore but I might still be able to chase his number up if you like? .

luvsit Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 i on the other hand have a very good experiences, with c&v. other than the excessive waiting hours on end, even sometimes not being able to get my car tuned, but in the end, over approx a 3 year period i never had to change spark plugs, my car has never ever pingend, i made more power on low boost than expected, also with lazy timing and no cam gear timing. they did exactly what i wanted. all in all i guess it comes to who u personally trust Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169105-power-fc-tuning/page/2/#findComment-3134506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
