Internet Tune?

[deansr33]

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?

You don't need to touch the ecu with small mods like that. The main thing is you don't put the boost any higher than 12psi. After that the ecu starts fingering itself.

[R31Nismoid]

$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.

Would you get a colonoscopy across the internet?

I've been reamed a few times online

Perhaps more info than we needed.

Sorry bad terminology, I should have said "shafted"

[GTSBoy]

That's not helping your situation.

[deansr33]

ok thanks guys,

I understand this is a round about question but how much would you pay for a normal tune at a shop in vic?

Also what mods would you recoment to do on the cheap for some decent power?

[Manuel Kasko]

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

[deansr33]

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?

[Manuel Kasko]

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

[deansr33]

ok cool what injectors would you use to match the 255 ?

[Manuel Kasko]

ok cool what injectors would you use to match the 255 ?

As I said

Injectors will require a tune

And cost a good $600+

If you were worried about spending $200

I would be just sticking to the basics

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.

[GTSBoy]

No. 34 coolers are air to air. He meant put a water spray on 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!!)

[deansr33]

cheers mate thats really helpfu!

ill definatly give him a call
