My powerfc was tuned professionally and happily running the stock turbo for 4-5 years but the turbo has now parted ways, so i bought a hiflowed turbo, mistakenly thinking i could just keep the boost low and as long as it wasn't making more power than the stocker the tune would be roughly ok. Not the case, it runs really rich on or off boost(according to the wideband gauge)

Anyway now is not financially a good time for me to also get injectors,afm, heavy duty clutch plus the cost of another tune, so i was wondering (hoping) if anybody was willing to help roadtune the inj map to just get it running ok on say 10psi for now, i will get the afm now as its currently maxed out, but inj are only at 88% running rich so they can stay, i can offer some cash or a slab of your fav drink as payment for assistance offered, anyway just thought i'd throw it out there and sorry if it's offensive to ask such a thing from strangers.

a road tune requires a wideband 02 sensor and a competent tuner or a competent fiddler

its probably better off being done with a proper tune

if you plan on doing tuning yourself on your car buy a wideband 02 sensor and install it permenantly

then you can do it yourself

Yes i have already fitted the wideband i will need datalogit or fc hako and a suitable software program or if someone already has thise items and are willing to help then that would save me the trouble, otherwise where can i get the software from?

Your PowerFC is already tuned, it will just need a touch up tune because your boost curve has changed with a new turbo.

Make it safe, or you'll be spending a lot more in the future trying to get it running again.

I'll ask but i know on there website status state they don't adjust other peoples tunes they do a reset and start from scratch, i assume most would want to do the same, afterall new turbo and afm would be seen as major modification.

You could always ask a few tuners what a quick run-in tune would cost, something that could get you around on low boost until you save the rest of the coin. If they know you are coming back to pay the rest and finish the tune, they may be ok with it... It's worth asking anyway.

Something tells me Trent may be a little busy at the moment. :P

How long did it take before you could acess that online user group? They just ignored me after buying from them and sending through my activation email. :/

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
