hi all,

After some info on the best way to approach this.

I currently have an safc2 fitted to a series 1 r33 gtst it has full turbo back 3 inch with hi flow magnaflow metal cat standard turbo apexi pod and ebc set at 10 psi, r34 smic. Currently sitting at 171 rwkw tuned by mercury in bris.

I have been finally able to obtain a apexi sitc, (rare as rocking horse shit), question is once it is installed will i require a full retune or is it a matter of mechanics having a fair idea of settings, also what do i need to explain to the tuner that i want to sacrifice top end power to give it more low end pull (rarely rev it over 6000 rpm).

Thanks

it is essentially a new tune.

they will run the car as is.

then they will need to adjust timing and fuel at each available tuning point..

then run it again.

check it, make some more changes, run again etc etc.

until there is a "good" compromise.

not sure what you mean by sacrifice top end for more midrange..

you're not installing cams or different turbo.

If it is stock turbo (which is sounds like it is), then it wont change much.

The additional timing that he will be able to put in to the thing at lower revs will bring on the turbo quicker so I guess you will get better midrange in that sense.

Top end will not change much if at all.

although, your 171rwkw at 10psi seems to be down on most peoples 190ish.

so it's possible that he might be able to add/reduce timing and adjust the fuel to match to make more power all through the rev range.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
