Hey ppls.

Dropped some stuff off to a place near there and dropped in to check them out.

Does anybody have any experiences with them, especially with PFC tuning etc.

They quoted me quite a resonable price so I'm wondering what the catch is if you know what I mean.

All help appreciated.

Genesis i highly recommend!

They did a great job putting a new engine in for me, well priced.

They also were very informative, they treated me with respect, being female ive found that hard with alot or workshops, and they are not just after the money! :)

genesis racing tunes some of J-Spec's hi-po cars including a purpose built high speed RX7 that hits 320 something km/h with a T88 turbo.

The guys there are geniuses and they're one of the few guys I'd take a 250+kw car for tuning.

I can get you the name of the dude that we deal with over there, he's one of the more "educated" tuners out there...

that's the one :D he used to work at a different worksop, but he got the shits and started his own one.

He also fixed a N14 pulsar in 2 hours that took Ice performance 3 weeks something to look at, and I think put a new engine in, and when that still didn't fix it, they had no idea.

i thought ice performance was good since everyone raves about them. so i decided to take it down to them to check a boost leak i was having. they told me they were too busy and CALL them tomorrow. so i call the next day and they make an appointment following thurday 10am .

i rock up on thurday at 10am and guess what ? they not even open?? i calll them up the next day and asked what happened ? they give sum lame ass excuse and we make ANOTHER appointment the following week. So again I drive all the way to Cheltenham and what happened ? Nigel isnt there. hes in court for sum shit so noone can look at it..

i mean wtf kind of business r they running ? i know ppl say they god of PFC tuning but fkn they gotta get their shit together for customer service. When I walked out, obviously fnk pissed off, they didnt apologise or anything and really didnt give a shit about losing a customer.

anyways, called genesis. craig was friendly and made appointment. rocked up and was fixed in 30mins. highly recommended. and their workshop building looks much more professional than ICE which looks like a $2 backyard shed.

/rant ended (frustration vented)

Well, I've had a good chat to Craig the Tuner and I am taking my car to Genesis on Friday morning for the following

RB20 Actuator

PowerFC

PFC boost kit.

He seems very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

He said he has plenty of base tunes to start from according to mods and boost and can load one of them, fine tune it and that will be that.

So tomorrow I am taking my car to F1 Performance who are going to do a base dyno run against boost and AFR so I can overlay the two charts for refernce.

I'll let you know how I go.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
