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.

I tried to cut/copy the info here but it got really messy so I'll put the link up with all the info here:

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 :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
