i recently (last week) went out and bought myself an electronic boost controller, GReddy Profec Bspec II, while not exactly top of the range, its good for what i need it for,

now all i need, is a workshop to install it, and give her a dyno tune (badly in need of one)

can any one recommend a shop? and rough price?

thanks in advance :down:

then there is nothing to tune.... but you could get it remapped by speedlab etc there in adelaide.

best bet is to get a mate to help install it and set it up on the road. Best boost control settings are ALWAYS done on the road as a dyno CANNOT perfectley replicate road conditions.

then what the fark is wrong with it if it cant be tuned? it spools up hard like normal, but only pushes a whole three-5 pound boost! its slowly getting lower and lower!

i got told to get an ebc and take it to be tuned.

is this the prob? or do i have a bigger prob on my hands? like a dying turbo?

Stock ECU's can't be tuned (or re-tuned easily) the boost controller could be "tuned". But its more just putting the settings on the controller correct.

If your losing boost you may have a problem which a workshop could assist with, how are you measuring boost though?

Also, most states have a recommended workshop list, I'd recommend workplace, just drive to Bayswater, Victoria :P

ha ha, bit far to drive mate, im measuring the boost on the guage in the stock cluster, and the autometer boost guage i had installed, both read the same, and trust me, it feels no where near as quick as it used to..

Read your profec instruction manual, then go to a quiet bit of road somewhere with a friend and play with settings.

Since its a stock 33 turbo 12 psi is an appropriate amount of boost. On mine i do set to 50% gain to 20 and set gain to 12 and that gets about 12 psi.

Just as long as you notice when you go over 12 or so psi and de tune to less pressure so you don't hurt your turbo.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.
