Looking for Power FC Tuner in Melb

[Blk33]

I am fitting a Power FC to my R33 GTST Series 2 shortly.

Can anyone recommend an engine tuner in Melbourne?

Cheers

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.

Hypertech Autosports, sorry don't have the number but they have a good rep

[R31Nismoid]

more suggestions?

ICE Performance

I'm surprised no one else here mentioned Race Pace at all.... ??

[R31Nismoid]

It might have something to do with cost more-so than anything else.

Nothing wrong with Race Pace at all, Ben does insane work.

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.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

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 )

Hypertech only do race engines now - no more "public" customers.

Just go to Ice and you wont regret it.
