hey guys, just took my car to gavin wood on the gold coast to get my s-afc tuned. He did a great job like everyone said he would, car was only running 120 rwhp now its up to 165 rwhp, so very happy, made the car pull the whole way thru the rev range instead of dropping off around 4 -5 grand, also was only running 11:1 air/fuel EEK!, so thats all been fixed up to 14:1 roughly. saw some nice cars while i was there too :)

and all done for a good price to, very worth it

How long did they have your car for?

My cars been to Gavins for servicing before, but when I rang up a week or so ago to book in for an SAFC install/tune I was told they would need the car for 2-3 days, I know there mega busy but WTF!

I promptly rang another workshop for it to be done in a couple of hours.

HI SHANE.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHO TOLD YOU IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 DAYS PLEASE.

I THINK THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING ON OUR BEHALF.

THERE ARE SO MANY ABBREVIATIONS NOW - SAFC,PFC,BOV,ETC,ETC.

SAFC DOESN'T TAKE 3 DAYS TO FIT.

SORRY ABOUT THE STUFF UP MATE.

REGARDS

No probs Gavin, it was a young bloke, dont remember his name sorry.

Don't see how he could have got mixed up because he actually suggested I save my money and go for a PFC.

But anyhow I'll be back for next round of mods... :thumbsup:

hey, yeah the car is a r31 with a rb20det. i know 165 seems a bit low, seeing im running 11psi, fmic, 3in mandrel bent zorst and a tuned afc, but i can tell ya its better than what it used to be. i have been a little concerned since i got the engine on the lowish power outputs, at leaves gavin put some much improved grunt behind it,,, mine as up there for a few days, but then again he's a busy man and i didnt really need my car back in a hurry so i didnt really mind too much, rather him take his time than pressure them to get it done and rush the job :D

but any feedback on the lack of power would be appreciated... also take into consideration the inacuracy of dyno's so i believe?

HEAR HEAR - I HAVE SEEN A DIFFERENCE OF 60 HP BETWEEN DYNOS ON THE SAME

DAY , SAME VEHICLE AND SAME TEMPS.

I USE A DYNO AS A TUNING TOOL - NOT TO GIVE AN ACCURATE POWER READING.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
