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 :kiss:

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.

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

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? .

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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
