Birds Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Do you think workshops treat more expensive cars with more disdain than cheaper imports?

alr33x Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 So, as mentioned, go to centerline where they are used to working on race cars worth about 3 times as much your lexus Well Dezz said its shit so must be shit. Shoulda known asked in the wrong place ere Not worried about race cars etc but I've seen how the workers treat every car the same lexus, skyline, Audi, VL I'm not interested in those places Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/68/#findComment-7594533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odium Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 From what I've seen / experienced: RTR = Low by a few percent Racepace = Low by a few percent, and not an accurate torque figure (its calculated via road speed, with no tacho input)Chasers = Fairly AccurateTrent = High by approx 10% Thats why when I had an RTR tune at 255rwkw I'd tell people "255, so about 270 on trents for comparison"At the end of the day though, who gives a crap what the figures say... What you want is a Pre-Tune overlay on the final printout so you can see the difference in the shape / area under the curve. And lots of people always seem to forget that when you roll out of the shop, if you're actually running the same tune / timing as your max power run then your car MAY last until the end of the week, or until a slightly suboptimal batch of fuel / hot day.

Birds Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 RacePace usually give you a max power run just for potential then dial it back for safety; pretty conservative tunes IMO But most tuners who have been around a long time are these days, unless customer requests every last kw - it's not in their interests to have customer cars shattering pistons Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/68/#findComment-7594553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Always dial it back. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/68/#findComment-7594556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 My mates car with the same mods as mine made 297kw on 98 at chasers with mine beng 10k less at trents. We threw it on the dyno at dr drift and the afr's were 14.5 and climbing at 4000rpm when we pulled the run Chasers CAN be good, but if they dont know you.......

It's west side after all. Next to Hells Angels HQ That's great, you want to recommend them based on your experiences, I'll tell people not to go near them because of mine. What kind of expert charges $X (overpriced at that) for a service, then tells that customer their setup is a mess, and asks who set it up... That's a quality workshop. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/68/#findComment-7594565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
