Regardless of any of it, Nathan is one of the few people that would actually cone here and give what was sometimes good advice to people trying to learn ..thats more than I could say for many of the "look what I bought" builders that come here with opinions and little else..

These are the people that annoy me. Never touched a spanner, laptop, or wideband, but all of a sudden know everything because their tuner \ mechanic talked a bit of shit into their ears to get their money.

I've made mistakes, been mis informed etc, but I try and better my ways as much as possible.

I've been tuning for years, and looking at tunes from some of the best workshops around I have been disappointed and I'm very glad that I can do it all myself and get a better effort, every time, for free.

Its a good thread and had been interesting to see others running 300+ for quite a while without a hassle....... I plan to join it soon

i assume cams doesnt count as opening the engine? Or does it?

cams are fine.

it's essentially a bolt on part. the point here is more the bottom end

Sweet, well i should be posting in here around mid month if all goes to plan!

fuel: BP 98

useage: road use, not daily driven

lifespan: 2 years

failure:

comments: need new coils, still making more power over 7500rpm but limited to 7500, did make 347rwkw on 19psi but pulled it back to 324, can make more power with new coils, more revs,better fuel and more money! :domokun:

That's a nice looking graph, is it an external gate?

Yeah, tial 44mm hanging of the turbine housing..

2 E85 outlets walking distance from my house now Alan, I feel so spoilt and the fuel feels great, the torque is like driving my little diesel Ute around, so much low down grunt..As an added bonus I just found out my adaptronic has switchable tunes. Its as simple as flicking a switch to change back to pulp..

lol @ knocking on rattles door, that was a good line.

wish sydney would hurry up and roll out the E85 too :(

Get a 200L drum and store it at your place? I have done that just because the nearest servo is 20mins away?

Not that i have a car finished yet so i can post in this thread like i promised a month ago :(

Mods: s1r33 3076r, external gate, poncams, 550's, uprated valvesprings.

Fuel: Bp 98

power: 307rwkw @ 20psi

useage: daily and track drifter

lifespan: 10 months at this level, 3 years with 270+

Failure: cracked ring no4 cyl, still drove fine just had a weird note from the exhaust

comments: had 270 for 2 years before failing after 10 months with 307, was about to upgrade to e85 but now will wait till I've rebuilt the engine

How many K's on the engine, what ECU, who tuned? (maybe relevant to the thread ;) )

let's leave who tuned them out of it as per sau guidelines.

a 300rwkw engine will let go eventually, especially with track usage and it's not fair to the tuners to be receiving bad press because of this.

old motors, over double the standard power, revving past redline :ninja:

Yeah sorry, bad question.... I wouldnt have been blaming anyone for a failure for the exact reason WMDC35 mentions..... Ill stay quiet now until i have a Dyno sheet of my own so i can join this thread properly :rolleyes:

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
