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

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..

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.

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

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..

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.

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?

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

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.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
