Fueltronics, my mate is the senior chip programmer. He know his shit. He used to work at tilbrooks back in the day.

I'd recommend John Keen at Turbo Tune (he used to be at Darlington Auto Tune). He's really good with tuning etc, has done lots of turbos, V8 supercars and the like - make sure you ask for him though!!

[hippy]

good thread some should sticky this and put all the tuners in the first post ... cause if u want tilbrooks its like a 3 year wait ..

Martin Donnan at Morpowa...

Turbo tune -BAH !! the previous owner of my car had his "100K service" done there and guess what - OVERTIGHTENED idler bearing bolt. I'm up the SH*T now with no ride coz of the bodge job they did

[Nozila]

i dont trust any workshop with my car no matter how recognised they are, refer to the dude who's s15 got written off when he went in for a service. they also charge an arm and a leg to tune your ecu which takes maybe an hr. pfft

[Miss*33]

Bl4cK32 - I agree and I never would have taken my car there either. But John is working there now because his brother owns the joint so I'd only take it there to see him - definitely no one else!!! Thats why I said "make sure you ask for him though!!"

Hippy - I got into Tilbrooks with no trouble. Why such a long wait?? I personally didn't even think they were that good, but just my 2c!

Why did martin leave tilbrooks?

[BOOSTD]

Turbo Tune would be my pick also,

John Keen has leagues of experience on any of the other tuners mentioned above.

-He has built and tuned V8 super cars for the last ten 10 years.

-He will happily provide warrenty on the Cars he Dyno tunes!!( I don't know a single other tuner who will back up there work like that)

-The Dyno he uses is the newest and most accuate hands down in Adelaide(2WD + 4WD) It has sperate cell correction which means that no matter the temp or realative humidity you will always get the same power reading.

Yes other tuners might get more power from your car however how long it will last is another story, and when it does go bang.....do you think they will say" no prob, it's under warrenty"

[Steve]

I'm sold! BOOSTD, you should be a sales man:)

[Jase]

so its Turbo Tune by a nose then

do they do computer remapping etc as well?

[Freebaggin]

I recommend Kmart Tyre and Auto Service. They are excellent and also give a guarantee. They got an extra 20rwkW out of my R33!

[BOOSTD]

Of course they do computer remapping.....

[Miss*33]

John is really good and he'll know your car's limits - he won't tune it so stupidly that it blows up or anything like that.

He tunes my b/f's cars and he got an extra 27kw out of one just by tuning it. He said it had heaps more potential but he said he didn't want to go stupid or it would just be too impractical. He is really smart and knows his stuff.

I was at Turbo Tune one night when he was tuning a 200sx my b/f's bro was driving at the Clipsal 500. Gained stacks of power, from bout 160 to 180 something kw just by tuning and dyno running it once.

[hippy]

i was being sarcastic ... but its like at least a week wait or something like that isn't it? maybe they treat girls better ..

[Steve]

So anybody got contact details?

[Cubes]

Tim Possingham is a good tuner. Tunes safe.

May not make the hugest power (-20rwkw) but at least he doesn't crack ringlands a few days later like another tuner I know of..

[Bl4cK32]

hehe Joel. Nice new pic of ya car btw.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Steve: Martin left Tilbrooks cos he didnt get along with the new guy from subzero. They had an arguement over John Munros drag car ( the sub zero guy said that munros car needed a microtech ecu whereas martin believes the apexi power fc is fine) anyway he got pissed off and left.... Thats wat i was told, but Martin, however im sure John would know the full story.

Hmm im considering seeing Turbo tune.... So if they up my boost and something goes wrong, they will look after me? Sounds too good to be true.
