Who To Take The Car For A Dyno Tune J.e.m Or Powertune

[gtr0321994]

When I get home from jem I will jump on the laptop scan it to this topic for u and scan new the new when jem is done aswell

every tuner has their share of groupies and fan boys so of course everyone is gonna recommend different tuners and say something bad about another.

go with whoever you feel comfortable with, suits your budget and is near you (unless you don't mind travelling further for them)

generally if the tuner is down to earth and friendly, it means good service. if they're pricks and think they're better than you just because they're a tuner, i'd walk away. (alot of big time workshops have this attitude cause you are just small fish and only need a tune).

i've used powertune before, wasn't the best experience/service, however Jez - wonderful service and a friendly fella, you will not be disappointed.

would've went to JEM before powertune but they couldn't fit me into their schedule,

Don't get too caught up with dyno figures though. I think JEMs dyno reads pretty low compared to others and also Adam will tune for excellent driveabilty for the street.

When I had mine retuned by JEM after adding a bigger exhaust and intercooler I was disappointed to see that the killer wasps had actually decreased compared to the number I got from a previous dyno (albeit a hub dyno).

Once I drove the car though, there was no doubt that the power had increased enormously all through the rev range.

Some places tune for Dyno numbers, Adam at JEM will tune for exceptional driveability and real world results.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks mate just wanted to get it retuned makings sure the girl running right and do a few other things aswell

My post numbers are pretty low and I haven't quite figured out how to access this info. Are you able to help me out with where to find it?

I recommended JEM, perhaps, in retrospect, I should have just put: JEM +1 without any reasons or ellaboration as to why I would recommend them to help you out. If you look back over other comments none have provided reasons, I did. I also did not say they were better, as I have no experience with DVS.

The dyno figure seems high that "Envy" provided for -5s, coming from a qualified mechanic that has built a few. In fact, one of my builds is going to JEM next week that is extremely similar to what you have, hence the interest. Also, from past experience there is a lot more to a good tune than just an outright Kw figure. My intention was to draw the focus away from the outright figure, as this often leads to disappointment when there is no longevity factored into the tune for a street car where your expected outcome "is not 460kw but higher" on that set up.

The intention was to assist - the responses make me wonder why I bothered in the first place. Welcome to SA for the new guy!

this is the ols dynoo sheet hope that help u TREGTR

Yeah only true reading for outright power is the drag strip and how it drives look at my brothers dyno

240rwkw Powertune 13.0 110mph

225rwkw Unigroup 12.5 116mph go figure both s13/180sx street trim

[gtr0321994]

yep thats my next plan run it down the drag strip very soon

Haha nice! That is always a good thing I talk pretty highly of them, there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff they have done to get my car to where it is that is not shown on the forum etc...

In saying that, i also support the suggestions for DVS JEZ in here and always will as he has been nothing but willing to help for me and many other SAUers on here

Good result and good to hear the car goes better. Thanks for posting the new dyno sheet up.

Very nice, got to be happy with that - looks like a much cleaner power curve, can only imagine the rest of it is tidier too. Very solid power
