Hey just wondering if anywhere is open on a weekend for me to get a tune as i live in victor harbor and it is hard to get a day off during the week just for a tune. If ther is can anyone recommend a good tuner?? Cheers jarad

are you after a tune, plugs/oil etc or a just a dynotune???

what ecu are you using??

Aussie exhaust and dyno will do it on the weekend for you

Yeah i want to try aussie exhaust and dyno some time soon aswell, mainly becuase one of the guys is a very regular helpful user on here. hes got a pic of a r33 in his sig or avatar im thinking. Seems like a top bloke by what he posts.

Ive also used boostwerx and they were good, but i also like supporting the smaller guys too!

just after a tune and check over dont need service only changed oil and filters last week just running stock ecu wher bouts they located?

corner of port/south rd hindmarsh next to the car wash look for the yellow building ask for michael

I dont think speed lab does rb25's he is a specialist at rb20's went to take it to him before, so who will tune my car on a saturday and can do a half decent tune with stock ecu?? I would like to do it this weekend if possible cheers

if you want a full tune, call jeff from speedlab, as we use the rb20 computer when tuning the rb25's.. yea u loose ur vct but the extra power you gain after having it tuned will be better anyway! jus so you know.. the most we have ever seen the vct make is 8kw! that is by doing a run and then un-plaging it and doin another run back to back!

jeffs the man! :P

You obviously dont know the concept of the VCT then mate, It's not about helping outright power, vct is to assist with bottom end torque, Look at the power curve on a before and after run and notice the bottom end will be a fair bit different....VCT turns off after 4000rpm anyway so that 8kw had nothing to do with it.

Save some pennies and get a Power FC mate.

if you cant find a RB25 pfc get a R32/33 GTR one :P thats what im doing but thats due to AWD not working properly on the RB25 one i had

but Cubes along with Boostworx have done the R&D on making them work with RB25's

Depending on what mods you have you may not need either a power fc ($1000+) or a remap ($550+). Your best bet is to call up Shaun from boostworx (+1) and see exactly what he recommends as the most cost effective solution to get what you want from your rb25det.

F@*k now i dont kno wat to do lol, spoke to speedlab today he was gona remap a rb20 ecu and tune for 550, last dyno i had my car got 220rwkw at turbo tune (same dyno speedlab uses) which he said was good usually 33's make near that mark with remap. Im now thinking just buy power fc and i should be able to get more power out of my car. Dont really want to spend 550 to get similiar power would be pointless. Wher do u get power fc's from and how much? anyone kno how much boostworx charged to tune and install one??

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
