I wouldn't think so.

My experience is a tune from scratch is over $1k and a retune around $400

I haven't used Autotech but pick up the phone and call them. (25c) :)

Jez on the central coast is good with Nistune's and I beleive reasonable on price

I was more than happy with the nistuning autotech did on my sr20det 1600. I got PLMS to supply the nistune with a base map loaded to suit my injectors/AFM/turbo, and got autotech to do the fine tuning. From memory it was around the $400-$500 mark and netted 220rwkw @ 14psi with drivability of a factory ecu.

Also had Nistune installed and tune by Ed at Autotech. Car has done many track days and hasn't skipped a beat 215rwkw (Silvia SR20DET)

Unless your going monster power is more than adequate.

He is very expensive but still cheaper than dragging your car to Sydney to get it done.

$500 for a tune? thats retune price isnt it?

would 350kw be classified as big power?

on a GTR

That's roughly what I've paid for every tune I've had done there, all have been retunes I.e. change supercharger to turbo, install bigger turbo and cams, fuel system upgrade. I guess the nistune was a retune as I was driving it for months on the base map no worries.

For my GTR i was quoted $1200 to re chip and nistune the ECU from autotech. $500 for a re tune if usually what you will pay.

I wouldn't classify it as "Big" power but it's a lot none the less. You don't really want much more than that for a road car. Unless you are a dyno dummy. But after that you usually have so much lagg/Too much power you lose most of the fun.

350kw on a GTR is effortless and not classified as big power.

I have a lot more than is necessary for a street car but I happen to like drag racing. Mine's also a lot more drivable than you think, you just need to go to some effort to make sure you set things up properly.

not sure how the nis tune thing works - but when it come to tuning you pay for what you get and Ed might be more pricey then others - not much - but he is worth every cent in my opinion - and has great results in a wide range of cars, engines and ecu's-

in my opinion put the extra in and go to him rather then saving a few bucks -

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
