How Much Does Dyno Tune Cost?

I've heard too many bad stories about Tilbrooks, and too many good stories about Boost Worx!

Boost Worx quoted me about $400 to install my powerfc and do a full dyno tune, Shaun is very fair and wont rip you off.

I know its not a tune, but these were quotes for 100k service:

Boostworx ~$600

Hi-Tech ~$800

And the clencher

Tilbrook's ~$1250 !!!!!

You make up your mind about value for money

yeah i was the same Lee when i needed my timing belt done

Tilbrooks = $1200ish could of been more - didnt include water pump

Manta Racing = $800 - now if it was out of Steve @ Manta or Tilbrooks Manta wins

Boostworx = $620 - included everything

Wow... that much difference... i know where i'll be going when it comes up then. Does Boostworx do other things as well? Like boost gauge, controller, exhaust. Like a one stop shop?

Yeh mate Shaun and Troy do the lot! I'm closeish to them so its good, BUT even with those sorta savings its worth booking in early with Boostworx AND make the drive from the North!

I don't think it matters where you go, you should always double check with them the final price and make them agree to that so they don't add on any extras. Get them to give you a definite final price not a ballpark figure or estimate. Unless of course you've got deep pockets and are rolling in it, not here though :O

Tilbrooks are well known for upping the figure upon finishing the job, so a firm price isnt a price to them.

i really don't understand y u bother posting on sau. You asked for recommendations and everyone told u what they thought, so you said ok i'll go to boostworx. you then still go to the place everyone told u not to and get burnt, no sympathy here!

then in the intercooler thread you said um i have no money so i'll get a cheaper just jap cooler then u get back on that night saying you'd just bought an $1100 blitz cooler, mmmmmmmmmmmm???????????

y am i starting to think you're a 13 year old kid with nothing better to do?

tool!

What. A. Tool. please sell your R34 to someone that will take care of it properly and take it to the right places. Furthermore, I concur with rbman. Why ask us where should you go when all your gonna do is waste our time by giving you good advice and places to go to.

Boostworx all the way, you have learnt.

What i meant was that something like a dyno should be at a set price, y should you be paying anymore for something that really is rather simple. Will agree with you about tilbrooks though, definitely not disagreeing with you there!

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
