You will most likely feel a improve in responsiveness of the car. The exhaust note might be slightly different. Are you going to be increasing the boost? Assuming that you have a standard setup as is. IE just exhaust, intercooler and a few basic mods???

Jaustech. My cars been there the last few weeks getting HEAPS of work done to my track car.

They have gone step by step with me, kept me informed, and also let me know in advance pricing and so far, each thing has come in less than what they were expecting.

Very happy with their service.

Yeah Anthony is a champ when the current engine got put in my car I went there around 4:45 to check if he could chuck it on the dyno to make sure the tune for the old engine was good for this one also, he got me on within 15mins and even helped out with a very minor problem

I got big blitz cooler, split fires, 3inch, n running 12psi on stock turbo (the turbo can't run stock boost, probably had different springs in it or something)

+ 11ty for Jaustech

Had nothing but positive dealings with them.

Anthony is a champ and a damn good troubleshooter for those problems you just can't seem to nail yourself!

So expect something around the 170-180rwkw mark :D

Hey just got back from jaustech, dropped the 32 off at bout quarter to 9 and had it back at 530 same day, that's including tuning it then finding out my fuel pump was rooted, replacing it and then tuning again. Disappointed in only making extra 25kw but made ton more torque so she pulls way harder now.

Over all extremely happy with service and dealing with the team members ;)

So already you have gained 25 rwkw with a shitton of torque. That's pretty good IMHO. Don't worry about the max power output, as long as the car "pulls hard" that is all what you need to worry about. As on the street you won't be using the full power anyway. Unless you hit the track :)

I've heard great things about Steve too, but re Boostworx - your list is rather large, and its not surprising that they might be wanting to get work out of the way before starting on a bigger job like yours. I would be surprised if anyone said that it was going to only take a day, as quite honestly some diagnostic stuff can take several days, and a full decent tune is not a 5 minute job. I've used Boostworx before and they've always done good work to my car so I've never really been bothered when they said they needed to spend more time on it - after all, a rushed job is no good for the business or the owner... quality work needs quality time. Sure you can take it to some other place and git'r'done on the quick but can you rely on that work? The poor man pays twice.

I know its a damn inconvenience when you dont get your car back on time but better to find a quality workshop that gets it right the first time rather than having to return multiple times. My previous workshop took 3 months to do a head gasket repair and refurbish whence they'd quoted 2 weeks - and at that stage it was 50% and I sent it to boostworx to get completed - incidentally they hadnt even started disassembling it so Ruby came and disassembled it for me, the champ that he is

Its not a case of more interesting work but more a matter of first come first served. Sometimes they just happen to get some difficult jobs that were booked out previously, that just happen to blow out their estimates and thats all there is to it. Shit happens

In either case, I'm still happy to use Boostworx, as I'm happy to use Wilall. Manta are 101% quality from what I've heard and I'm sure you'll be satisfied with his work.

-D

+1 to this. Couldn't of said it better. Boost Worx are excellent, great work, reasonable prices.

Last time I was there they were extremely busy. The garage was packed with 32's, 33's, supra's ect.

I waited 4 or 5 hr+ to pick up my car which was only getting a service.... And didn't complain.

Garages can be like hospitals, some patients/cars get priority over others depending on the severity of the work and how urgent it is.

My suggestion, stick with with Boost Worx, No more 'heat of the moment' threads, learn to relax. Quality may take time, unless you don't have time for quality? If that's the case... ******! Lol

Ash you asked whether you could name and shame a business in a previous thread and Steve kindly informed you that it's against forum rules...yet you chose to do so anyway.

The only reason you don't get a holiday from here is because it's the Festive season but consider this a friendly warning.

wouldn't touch synergy with a 10ft pole

out of interest why do u say that? An experience or what you've heard? I only ask because i went there after being told good things and am very unhappy with the end result.

^^^ They are a used car dealer .... which means they would sell their Grandmother or cheat her out of 50c if they stood to make a buck .... you should see what sort of cars they buy out of Jp and what they do to them to pretty them up, before selling them for top dollar to chumps here ....

careful chaps...don't like where this may lead.

These threads are always dangerous even with the best of intentions.

Nothing untowards spoken yet but best to nip it in the bud before the big boss comes in here and belts us all with his much bigger stick >_<:P

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
