Hey guys,

I’ve heard of these tuners on the net that you apparently can send in the list of mods you have done and they tune it as best as they can. Then you go get a dyno run and check your mixtures and if they are not 100% you can send it back and they will adjust it for free.

The reason for me looking into this is its $200 and I’m trying to do up my r33 gtst as cheap as i can as i have a young family and I don’t have the luxury to spend thousands on my toy so its a slow cheap project.

I’m not planning for it to be to crazy I’m hoping to have a r34 side mount water cooled and 3 inch full system fuel pump standard air box with k&n panel

Has anyone had experience with these internet tuners what’s everyone opinion?

$200 fora R33... Sounds very wrong.

As above, if budget - 10psi is fine (12 can trip it out).

Nothing will beat a proper tune and 'mailorder' tunes will not be much better than a stock ECU as you have to be so conservative.

Normal tune $600-1500 depending on workshop.

Tunable ECU is between the same $500-4000 depending on brand.

Decent power depends on what you think is decent and again how much you can budget into it.

Reliable power and low budget do not mix at all sorry to say

ok so if i was to do

full 3 inch system

fuel pump

k&n pannel

water coolded r34 intercooler

10 psi

maybe a tune later on down the track

that would be ok power? there is nothing else i could do on the cheap

and for those mods what kind of fuel pump do i get? and would you bother with injectors?

With a budget build I wouldn't bother with injectors because they will require a tune

The stuff you have listed will be fine without a tune as long as you make sure it's 10psi and no more.

With a tune it would make a huge difference though.

I went a walbro 255 as they are easy to fit and no expensive. Got mine for $200 including the install

34 coolers are water to air?

at the power levels youve hinted to being able to afford right now, keep the standard cooler.

again, dont worry about fuel pump either.

just get a boost controller(electronic) and run 10psi, the factory systems should have enough leway in them.

start saving, and do a nice group of mods when you can afford it.

Hey mate

Best thing to do is contact Toshi

He is on SAU and is fantastic

Costs about $400

He will send you replacement ECU that he has socketed and rechipped for your mods

Very very accurate tune

He has done many tuned chips for so many different configurations of mods

My car is an R33 GTST running 12PSI and has FMIC and 3" with man boost control

I beat most V8's out there and air fuel ratios are spot on

Also great MPG.

If you need any help contacting him just ask

And for all you doubters out there I say come for a drive of my car (or a race!!)

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
