I'm organising a HANDS ON Engine Performance Dyno Tuning Lesson at Unigroup Engineering.

It's a great opportunity, if not the only, to learn how to tune your own car from a well respected and knowledgeable workshop. Not only tuning but also understanding the mechanics and engineering behind modifications, and how everything fits together as a total package.Yavuz is the head tuner there and he's a UTS grad of mechanical engineering, many SAUers already go to him for tuning and some SAUers have also done the lessons and this is the kind of stuff they said...

I can not describe just how good this day was. The knowledge that yavus and his team where passing on was priceless, and can only come from years of experiance. The day was great we covered a range of topics. Not just spacific tuning topics but mechanical ones and how it effects tuning.

- Norm

This was a fantastic day. Thanks very much to Yavuz and the guys at unigroup for making the day flow and providing loads of information in a way that doesnt overwhelm.

The mixture of theory and hands on experience was excellent, allowing us to test the theory whilst it was still fresh in our minds.

I recommend this course to anyone who has an interest, i guarentee you will come away with alot!

Thankyou again!

Had an Awesome time at unigroup on sunday, Yavuz IS the smartest tuner i have ever met. Best value for money, i learnt alot, we covered in detail every question the group had about tuning.

It was worth every cent, and more :D Yavuz covered some theory to explain, and then lots of time on the dyno with a couple of different cars demonstrating different points

Will the lesson include cold start tuning?

Also, what software(brand/brands) will be taught?

What car will lessons be held on?

Will lessons go into ethanol or even flex tuning?

Interested, will have to see if i can scrape together some coin.

at the course I was at they put 2 cars on the dyno, one had a powerfc, the other had a nistune.

there was really good coverage of the fundamentals, and then practical applications. eg how timing works, then how to test/set it for a given car, and then how cams/cam gears/vct might afftect it.

Yep it can include anything you want including cold start.

Unigroup has the software to tune most brands, like powerfc, nistune, motec, haltech, blackbox, link. Which one that's used on the day depends on the cars that get on, but one thing to keep in mind is that the tuning theory is universal so you can take it with you to any brand of ecu/software you've got.

The cars will depend on who wants to put their car on... maybe yours?

Yeah it can go into ethanol and flex fuel tuning too :)

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
