I use Xspeed, Ant is one of the best tuners around.

pitty he doesnt give a f**k about average joe customer....

hyperdrive know what they're doing, just hope you dont get booked in on a really busy day.

I must admit I had this impression of xspeed and actually went and spoke to them and ended up canceling my hyperdrive booking and going with them as they could do what I wanted quicker and for cheaper, except my cooler piping blew off down the free way, but who new xspeed did road side assist, this was a few years ago,

I chose asg for there recent reputation and closeness and vipec tuning,

Yep if you not spending 30k + they don't seem interested... they won't touch haltech either.

Edit: Was referring to XSpeed

Alot of places won't touch Haltech, maybe that is more to do with the ECU rather than the workshop.

nearly every person i talk to has something bad to say about x-speed which is why ive never gone there.

Haltech and Nistune are about the best serviced ECUs in Australia now.

Some shops have a short list of ECUs they know and wont use anything else.

^^ this is 100% BS maybe Australia but not WESTERN australia. there are only 2 places that will even touch a Haltech ecu and that is C-RED and Cypher.

edit: actually i have heard of one other place in Kenwick but it was so random and un-heard of i cant even remember the name

also the last time my mate got his haltech tuned by c-red it was pinging its tits off so much he took it to cypher and the bloke at cypher, he drives it in with 400ish rwhp 25det, gt35r .63 800cc sards, 044, 6boost 50mm tial etc and the guy says the max power it can make is was either 360 or 370 on 20lbs!? haltech + WA = FAIL

Haltech, Tuned by T&R Green, Topracing, Performance Unlimited, Garage101, Cred, Intune, RPW, Cypher, Rotormotion, GTI and a few Others.

I find current Haltechs easy to tune but the old versions have poor software.

where were you 6months ago when me and my mate where driving to about 10 garages to get his car tuned! :P none of them could even recommend anyone -except Mick at ovaboost said try cypher

+1 for hyperdrive.

Andrew definitely a great tuner. one of the first in perth to start doing nistunes i think

and does not do half ass tunes if they are busy... - that is complete bullshit.

i hate to start a shit fight but unless you work there full time and have done for years theres no way you could know exactly how every one of his tunes has gone. sure hes a good tuner but the last time i was there i left pretty dissapointed with his efforts, was very unproffesional.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
