i have used mark for a long time now and they are the only ones that touch my car he is also a very good friend of mine there is always good cars there but even if there isnt that doesnt mean that the work isnt good yes he does all the work on christians car but mostly thats after hours and sometime he is closed for races but not often he's in america right now but the shop is open martin is tuning and a guy named ben does all the other work

Yeh i heard over the last few days that they have been tuning on an uncalibrated dyno, i alos heard about unsatisfied staff. Just wanted to know if its hearsay or fact.

I suppose its all irrelevant if boostworx are cheaper and do better work.

Well thier decent engine builder left there to go to JMS, and now he's on the move again i think to Wheelworx!!

All i know is it seems you need to know them or know someone that knows them!!

BOOSTWORX FTW!!

word around says that tillbrooks has a bad rep for blowing cars up on the dyno. i was going to take mine there last time for a tune and i had at least half a dozen people tell me not to.

whats peoples thoughts on morpowa?

ive heard good things about tilbrooks and morpowa, but havnt heard any bad about morpowa yet i dont think, but yeh heard a few things about tillbrooks but u can never be sure whats just bs. depends where u live really, if u live north of the city morpowa is probably easier for u, if u live south of the city boostworx is probably the go.

My car is tuned by Morpowa. Simon seems good, I've got a problem with a knock sensor at the moment and he didn't hesitate to run it up on the dyno and then on the street to check it out FREE OF CHARGE. He said that i had paid for a tune and it's gotta be right. Turns out the tune was right but the knock sensor was/is faulty.

I'm happy :P

Morpowa are good & they have more workers so will generally get things done quicker (although not always for the better) but, comes at a higher $$rate. Since swapping over 16mths ago & converting several mates to BoostWorx we've found Shaun a lot more proficient with the tuning side of things (ECU's, EBC & other electronics) than Simon/ Andrew. Only prob with BW is they should be up more North way considering Troy & Shaun live up this way :).

I can recommend morpowa also. Boostworx are my first choice for tuning especially and I'll hopefully be booking my car in there soon for a 100,000km service.

However, being out north I have been to morpowa several times, mainly just for regular servicing - since they have an auto trans specialist right next door and you can book into morpowa for a service and get the auto trans serviced at the same time and morpowa handle the whole lot so its just one transaction and your car is off the road for just one day. Their prices are quite good and I've been happy with their work.

i have just my car done by tilbrooks and they did an awesome job on the car....its gone a lot smoother then before....so my experience with tilbrooks has been a good one and mark the owner does look after you well....

as for morpowa my mate used to get his car serviced there and his car was just a pain to drive.....and they never figured the problem out so he took it to tilbrooks and they sorted it all out for him and now that thing boots.....

boostworx never been there as it is way down south and bit too fair for me.....but i have heard of a lot of good things about them and will get my ecu tuned down there as they are apparently the best in tunning...

AAA+++ for Boostworx Great Blokes & Awesome Tunning,

First time i ever got my car tunned i booked in it at TillBrooks, when i turned up the guy i wont mention any names wasnt even there and they didnt know anything about the tune, plus they said it was going to cost me $600 for a tune & i would have to wait till the afternoon and it was 8am???

So i went straight off to Boostworx and was really impressed with there service :(, great price 1/4 of that and car went great!

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
