So who here has had experience with them?

My car is booked in for dyno tuning next week and wanting to know if anyone has used them before, good/bad experiences.

So far very happy with the excellent level of service. I sent them an email yesterday morning and instead of one of those $hitty replies that you usually get from mechanics and such, Trent called me and took the time to speak to me for about 10 mins.

So anyone?

Cheers,

Steve

my car was there last week to get the PFC fitted and a few other minor things addressed, was happy with the results and service.

have since sent a email with a few questions about the PFC and Trent actually rang me back to discuss it. Happy with the service and happy with the results

Also saved 10% by being a member of SAU

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will let you all know how it goes next week. Hoping to end up getting more than ~250kms per tank and crack 200rwkw.

I was struggling to get 250 a tank before the PFC went in

power went up from 171rwkW to 192rwkW and first tank was over 350km

and that was even plenty of 'fun' driving (it's amazing the difference 21kW can make to a torque curve)

[R33Steve]

Its currently sittin on about ~240rwhp and running WAY too ruch. Just ask Melv from when he was driving behind me on MSCiii. Sometimes i get less than 250km/tank. Before ecu and some other small mods, was getting about 300-350ish to a tank.

[dangerous_daveo]

I get 500kms to a tank and I get annoyed that thats it

Anyway, all my mates who have been there were REALLY happy with the service, and quality of work, and most of them are fussy barstards, so should be rite.

how much roughly for a dyno? and where are these guys located?

[Oz]

hey aaron these guys are in Brisbane over the north side Herston/Wilston area

[Jaystar]

i had my fmic fitted there and then car dynoed as well...could not fault the quality of work and was very happy with the service. I work just down the road from there at another car dealership so it is very convenient where they are and they are a bunch of great blokes...trent and his staff. Would recommend to all.

Not much of anything in Bundy in my experience

[GOR33]

yeh how much is a dyno run?

[R33Steve]

I think they charge about 140/hr for tuning. SAU QLD members (paid) get a 10% discount so roughly 126/hr. Trent says that they should be able to fully retune mine in approx 3 and a half hours.

Dont know what they would charge for just a dyno run, if you mean you just want to get a horsepower figure?

Steve

[Jaystar]

do u need an aftermarket ecu like microtech or something for them to properly dyno tune your car or can they change things normally?

[R33Steve]

You need some sort of aftermarket ecu either a full stand alone or a piggy back system. Piggy backs allow you to usually play with a/f ratios, ignition etc whereas stand alone allows you to change everything and anything and also usually have auxillary outputs to add things like intercooler spray or NOS.

Let us know how it goes steve cause im keen on getting a bit more poke and a bit better fuel saving....

Going from the old 31 i thought it was good at 350km per 63 litres with "major mods" to a almost standard r33 and getting 350km from roughlly the same fuel....

[R33Steve]

Suer Col. I get the car back this afternoon and Trent seems to think that i may get around 400kms/tank. Are you using the standard ecu? If so they tend to run rich. With my standard one i was getting about 300-350kms so your sounds about right to me. Ill post results later today with a/f ratio and rwhp. Hopefully get a dyno printout from them?

I have been dealing with Mercury for a little over 12 months on my S15. Great bunch of guys, and excellent to deal with.
