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. :/

    • Swapped the injectors around and the misfire followed. I went ahead and ordered the Deatschwerks 550cc injectors and am currently waiting for them to be ship and arrive. In the meantime, I've had my Nistune soldered to the ECU. Tested it, and and tried it out with the software. Everything should be prepared for when the injectors arrive.  
    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
