[benm]

nice website...

[Mr_G]

speak to Ben @ BEL Garage

 

www.belgarage.com.au

 

hope that helps..

How much did Ben from Bel garage charge you for your initial first tune when you had a PFC? Pretty sure you had one, but correct me if im wrong.

Hitman is an awesome tuner!! He tuned my car as well, and he did an excellent job!! I did both a road tune, and a dyno tuner to touch it up! He charged a very reasonable price

He is on the forums.. nick is Hitman!! I don't think he browses the site very often though... not sure if he'd respond to PMs either... probably would? His number is 0417 259 391 if you'd like to give him a call

Are any of these Bel Garage or HITMAN open thses days or they open next year only?

[Mr_G]

Looks like its either hitman or bel garage... Seems like they both have pretty positive feedback...

Moanie, what benefits did you get out of your tune? Do you notice better fuel economy? Smoother response?

[Moanie]

I had a slight increase in fuel ecomony, but my driving style changes from day to day... lol! it depends on how much i'm boosting per tank! as for smoother response.. i got 12.9secs worth of smooth response!

HEYA, thats alright, and what mods are you running other than the PFC?

[Moanie]

lol!!! only a few things here and there... the important thing is, that was on matts (hitmans) tune... and he did an awesome job of getting me there

So big difference before and after the tune? ya?

[Moanie]

nah.. can't really say... i always had problems with the car.. defects... emission tests etc... so with the tune, it smoothened everything out

Power FC in my GTR was installed and tuned by C&V by the previous owner it seems not to bad of a tune but I'm not pulling very good mph at the drags for the power I have compared to other GTR's.

Price from CRD was $1200 that's including adjusting cam gears and dyno tuning time . Bel wants $350 for a road tune and it take's them a couple of hours . I've heard good stories about both shops but I've also heard a few bad stories as well so I'm not sure who to go to yet . I soppose can't go wrong with either .

SAS across the road from from CRD and near Advan is soppose to be very good also for tuning the power fc's .

[7heavn]

should also mention unigroup who are good with Power FC's also and have installed and tuned a fair few and I've spoken to alot of people who are happy with them . Only thing is they need to use a hand controller cause they don't have the proper software like the other's.

[GIGOLO]

My car was originally tuned at C&V when I bought it and the tune was OK.

Then I had it tuned by the hitman who cleaned the tune up a bit. good bang for your buck at around $300

The the PFC was tubed by CRD when the injectors and FPR were installed and the car ran even better, Highly recommend, and Jim was very helpful. Lance not so helpful you do pay for it though, It costs around $600-$700.

How long did they spend on it.. 9-5 2 days straight? I know where they (CRD) could stick $1,200.

[Mr_G]

Spoke to one of the people that own Bel Garage today. They charge a pretty reasonable fee, and its not something thats through the roof.

What they said to me was that if you have a bigger turbo, injectors etc, then it usually cost more cause they have to configure more obviously.

Other than that, got to go make some inquiries to the so called "HITMAN" ? However just have to wait for my exhaust system to be complete before going ahead with my tune

Cant wait!

[Moanie]

OH YEAH!!! i should mentoin i love bel garage as well!! they did my inital tine on the powerfc.. PLUS they healped me when i had alllll my defects the first time around.. i would n't have gotten through all those problems without them!

My car hasnt been tuned by them yet but yes they did quote $1200 for tuning and adjusting cam gears. Lance said they needed the car for the day but I doubt they would be working on it all day. The tune really only needs a clean up and they would have a fair idea of what cam setting's actually work by now so yeh they are very $$ compared to the rest .

[benm]

Exactly, they (and other shops) work on these similar cars everyday and know pretty much straight away what direction they should be heading in, it's not like it would be 100% guess work for every single car (even though engine to engine would vary in the same model cars) but not enough to require $1,200 worth of "labour".

[shonen]

$1200.....FMD thats a lot of money for a tune....

[RB30-POWER]

$1200 for tuning.

Crikey, would want to be a good tune.

I would always prefer to pay someone by the hour where possible.
