I have used Morpowa many times and was happy with their work.

Many people on here recommend Boostworks as they are competativly priced, but I have heard whispers that their PFC tuning isnt so crash hot (not that its bad either).

The other workshop I would recommend is Willall Racing (Sp?) as Martin Donnahn is supposedly the best in SA with the PFC.

Ive known Simon since we were kids - I distinctly remember us getting into trouble with the cops for bombing up a fence when we were teens. My old man and the family have been friends with the Podlewski's since i was a little tacker. Mark used to race a Torry tin top yonks ago.

Ive known them to do some great work but my brothers silvia motor had to be rebuilt by them a second time... nuf said.

If you can tune one ECU well you should be able to tune any, they are pretty much the same. Just something like Autronic with Autotune is going to be damn right alot quicker to get going then a cell by cell map of a power fc. I have tuned (with help) the Autronic, power fc, and nistune, they only bits that are harder to figure out is each own little tricks and tables for things like cold start etc.

In regard to fuel and ignition maps tuning them all is the same, but the difference between the different ones will be how well they control the motor. (which all listed above do very well)

I have never personally had a car tuned at morpowa, but I have asked simon some questions about tuning a power fc and I have never had someone tell me so much info and give so much help when I wasnt spending money with him. To me this is the best long term buisness plan for him as I would definatly go there to try them.

I always take my cars to Boostworx and have always been happy with the results. In saying that I have had my car tuned a couple times by Simon/Morpowa a few years ago and had no problems at all. 1500km? where abouts are you located?

Ryan

If i remember correctly then i think he is up at alice springs

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
