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. :/

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
