New To Vic, Need Good Mechanic Around Hoppers Crossing


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

New to vic, moved up from Tassie wanting to know of some good mechanics/workshops around Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook areas. Have a rather large boost leak and would like to get it fixed asap. All help appreciated

DO NOT GO ACES mechanical repairs !!!

Other than that there's point cook mechanics at the end of old geelong road before bridge.. There's always heaps of cars there and I also go there with peace of mind

Lol yeah 2 weeks after getting it tuned got a f**ked piston. Motor had only 90xxxkms on it with 180 compression across all cylinders before i took it to him. Took the car to another tuner to sus it out and he told me the car was pinging off its ass.

Yeap, heard good things about his tuning aswell but the car was idling really rough the day it got tuned so took it back to him to fix the idling issues, he played with the power fc abit and got it idling good then one week later started idling rough again but had misfire this time. Got another tuner to look at it and he told me one pistons gone from the stupid amount of timing that was set. fuel pump was in good working order.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
