Hey all,

Finally saved the $ to get my car tuned. Ive called up and been to a few places and Ive narrowed it down to the above.

Advan Performance are asking $620. They will load up a preconfigured map which matches the specs of my car and do 3 - 4 hours of modifications on the dyno and an hour or two of cold start tuning.

CRD asked $750 and up for a full custom dyno tune which takes 6 - 8 hours.

Unigroup said $700 up for a full custom dyno tune

Toshi(member on here) said $500 for a full custom street tune + dyno tune.

People often say go for a full custom tune. My car has simple bolt on mods so I could save some dosh by going to advan performance and their work is very reputable. I'm not asking for people here to tell me to search and read. Those are the options. Choose one as you wish and if you like, have your say!

the advan tune will be a full custom tune. they will simply load a map from a previous tune based off similar mods onto your ecu and then customise it from there. loading on a map from a previous tune just gives them a base to start with that will save them a bit of time. it is no less custom than any of the other tunes though.

I'm also interested in geting my car tuned soon.

My mate recommended MRC in Castle Hill though.

Was wondering if you called them up for a quote at all?

Cheers

To this point, Ive never heard from these guys. Looking at their site though, I'd prefer to go with a tuner more specific to my car(crd/advan).

Get some more votes in, but most probably I will be booking in this tuesday for an advan tune. If it goes ahead, I will post my results in terms of power and then my fuel consumption with the same driving conditions. Technically, on a less rich tune I should make more power than what I am making now on the same amount of boost(225rwkw @ 14psi). Lets see what happens!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
