Nistune Tuner In Sydney

[DaveO74]

Cant go wrong with Yavuz, Ive even had him tell me he wasnt going to let me take my car home for another day because he was not 100% happy with a part of the tune over a 300 rpm rev range between 4000 and 4300 rpm...........no really

You get what you pay for

[Deano 1]

it mite b worth PM'ing DVS32R he told me yesty his about to do a order on acouple Nistune boards. You prob suss a good deal with him, he also does road and dyno tuning......

[rondofj]

DVS32R did pm me, but as I do not know him, I'd rather have peace of mind getting it done at a reputable workshop, the tune determines whether your engine lives or blows - no offence to anyone in saying that, then again hes located in the central cost too..

[OoskylineoO]

u can try toshi? if u r after quick road tune, got mine done for $500 and he didn't do a bad job at all. He does seem do to a lot of RBs.

+1 on yavuz, all I've been hearing is good stuff about the bloke.

(JEM) Just engine management, might do it a bit cheaper and theyre pretty good as well

[rondofj]

thanks thanks, heard of Toshi, but which company is he from??? Will give JEM a crack as well...

[DVS JEZ]

All tuners should be able to get the same results as each other.

No offence to the big mobs but some of them spend very little time on cruise tuning and fuel consumption. And just try and get that glorious number that everyone wants.

My vote goes for Yavuz. He has taught me alot and is the smartest tuner i have met

[rondofj]

Thanks Jez, it seems that none of the 'reputable' tuners come close to Yavuz, almost everyone has commended the bloke, not one of the other workshops were commended lol..

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

time to learn the art of tuning guys, not that hard.. just loads of reading

[chiksluvit]

another vote for Toshi here

top bloke, he's one man show, user name's Toshi on the forum

[rondofj]

PMed Toshi, he seems good and so are his prices, and many happy customers - he mostly does road tune only - as my car is a daily driver thats never tracked, is a road tune only good enough for me?? I'm looking for response AND power, unfortunately the downside is u cannot measure power gains with road tunes..

Plus it can be dangerous, need a remote area / test bed... How do they road tune at max rpms - u drive at 7krpm on all gears??? Impossible, even in third at 7k rpm u almost hit 180km/h..

[Toshi]

You can choice dyno tune , road tune , dyno and road tune.

[rondofj]

Hi Toshi, I should get my board tomorrow, looking at a tune next weekend maybe.

With the road tune, will you be able to tune in all gears up to 7000rpm?? How is it possible without driving extremely fast? Almost as good as in a dyno??

cheers

+1....regardless of what you actually say to them.

Same results on the entire map....v similar yes but that would take many many hours and $$$$$.

Toshi was good for me. You can't tune all gears up to 7000rpm, and you can't do it on dyno either. In some ways it is not as good as a dyno (harder to hear knock/seat of the pants MBT & no power figure), but in some ways it is better (real world conditions/part throttle).

Using both is how they do it for factory.

Dyno is good for power runs. I always tune cruise and full power afrs on the road. Then tune for power on the dyno. Saves dyno time and money

[rondofj]

Hey Jez, by power runs do u mean measure the power (KW) gain before and after tuning?? I know you cant get power readings on road tuning of course. And 'tune for power on dyno' - what does that mean, can you not do that on the road, ie gain power by road tuning - without a paper readout of course?

[Deano 1]

it means, He tunes cruise in normal driving conditions, on the road, than once its on the dyno he tunes the top end of the map for power runs and than checks over the cruise on the dyno, it makes it cheaper for the customer and alot better!! the bigger workshops cant be bothered to do all this, they would rather just put it on the dyno get it roughy right, than tune power and hand you your paper sheet with the magic numbers.

Jez takes the time to tune it on the street under normal driving conditions, than puts it on the dyno to tune the top end, with is hard on the street when everything is happening so fast. Once its on the dyno, he loads the car up more than it would be on the street, If it dosent knock on the dyno under load, it wont knock on the street under load, And it also give alot better fuel econ

Its the diffrence between goin to a big workshop with a time slot for you, to have your car done in, or a person which puts in the effort to make sure everything is perfect, from idle to crusie to power, in norm driving conditions and under dyno load.

its the same way Just Jap gets there race car tuned, and id say alot of the Jap work shops would do it like this to....

Dyno is good, you can basicly do it all on a dyno... but having it road tuned and than double checked on the dyno is the best i say.

my 2 cents

[DVS JEZ]

Good answer Deano, thanks.

Rondofj - in short terms tuning for maximum power on the street is a mix of seat of the pants feel and experience mixed with some guesswork. There is no real way to check an engines power on the street unless u were at the drags data logging continous runs and making adjustments.

Sometimes u road tune then put it on the dyno and u will find an extra 20-30kw.

Sometimes like 2weeks ago i tuned Sir Rb's Nistuned GTR on the dyno after previously road tuning it and we couldnt get any more gains over the road tune as it was already at its peak of 275kw 18psi.

I find its better to the dyno first, road tune second. Often there is knock on the road where there wasn't on the dyno.

[Deano 1]

We did that with my car, road tune, dyno, than a real quick check on the road.
