I prefer tuning my PowerFC at Technik Tuning at Thornbury, speak to Dean Ong the master in Power FC/Autronic Tuning (and a good amateur drifter/racer). His number is 0401694883.

The reason I like about him is because he can tune for very good power increase - but without stressing out the car too much. Leaves some room for errors for example different temperature, bad batch of fuel, etc,. which could damage the engine! Also has plenty of experiences with R33s GTSTs.

Look a lot of people can tune PowerFCs seriously - its just that in my case, I wanted someone I could actually communicate with and discuss about what I really want, also someone who I can trust will look after the car, will diagnose things should anything need attention, etc,. rather than going just outright power.

Some Tuners I have spoken with seem to have this - 'I've been tuning for 3-5 years, how long have you been tuning cars for' attitude. Usually these are the aggressive tuners who gets the tune wrong, then charges you more to fix it. Just because they didn't tune every load site and does not take it for a Road trip as well to simulate real life loads and monitor the Knock levels - all of these things Dean at Technik will do included in fit and tune price.

Very happy with him indeed.

But others to look for are Race Pace and perhaps ICE Performance.

Thanks guys, any other suggestions?

why dont you tell us the tuner you have in mind, and we will tell you if they are any good.

hyper...h are only for people wanting to spend over 5k for a tune....and dont expect to get your hand controller back because the tune will be 'so good' that they wont want you screwing with it.

hypertech are NOT good from what i heard, heard that the main thing they do is chuck the knock warning level on the PFC from 60 to 80 and do a rough tune and charge the earth for it, i havent been there so cannot confirm this, what i can confirm is that gerald/nige at ice are 110% genuine and great blokes and do fantastic work, i was sitting with nigel the whole time he was doing my powerfc and i still havent required a re-tune and i can fang it whenever i want (within reason, of course on boiling hot days you cannot but meh, thats got nothin to do wit tuner :))

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
