And another syd west place: MRC Dyno performance - Castle Hill.

I agree Abo Bob and i guess thats the point of this thread, if not happy with the current one you can find the alternatives here.

In my case i'm looking for an alternative for UAS. Might try Unigroup, i heard only good things about them.

I got my previous car tuned at Procar in Dee Why twice and was the one that pointed them out to Bob.

They got a guy in to do the tuning of my car who has close affiliations with cosworth. He isn't just a nice guy that tunes the engine safely, he insists you sit in the car with him during the tune so you can ask questions and so he can ask you from time to time what boost, what power, what sort of reliability you are aiming at.

I've got another appointment with them when my GTR lands.

Heard that BD4's at Gladesville (not east or west or north, central I guess) had recently upgrade their Dynojet to run the latest Winpep 7 and the Dynojet is arguably the most accurate dyno in the world. All they use in the US is Dynojet, must say something. Friend of mine got his 33 GTST tuned last week and got 210kW at the rubber, only running 0.75 bar of boost on Optimax with EVC, HKS FCON V and HKS FMIC, HKS powerflow and exhaust and everything else standard. I guess that was quite all right. Only got charged $220 for tuning the HKS FCON, took about 3 hours.

This has turned into a good thread.

someonestolecc - I think he is saying that that place but not that guy tunes turbo cars. There actually was an r32 GTR parked in front of the dyno when I got there.

believer - just cos the seppos do a lot of something doesn't necessarily make it a good thing. Not having a go at anything else you said though.

I just contacted the Unigroup abt what time do they open and if they work weekends, via email coz i couldn't get thru to them by phone, and i got this response:

Our weekday hours are 6:30pm-10pm and our weekend hours are 1pm-6pm

Saturdays.

Thank you

Hmmm, do you find it weird? I don't know of anyone else with working hours like that.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
