dunno about dyno graph as power figure wasn't really important to me.

Nor me. I was actually interested in seeing what improvements/compromises Matt made vis-a-vis the original setup by comparing a before and after run. Outright figures are pretty useless except as a rough guide (IMHO).

yeah, when I go and do it I might plug the kakimoto back in for a run on low boost and then compare it to the PFC run on low boost. only as i don't really want to run the kaki on high boost without knowing what the ign map looks like. would be more beneficial to compare to a stock ecu, but I don't have one.

Anyone here used RIC SHAW performance at five dock (cnr parra road/lavender). He knows his power fc's since he's been using them for ages in his mazda's. I've spoken to him afew times and he knows his nissans too (i think he owns a skyline too).

I'm considering using him cause he's faily local for me and has always had goood results with friends cars.

Has anyone had any experiences with his work shop???

Cheers

haha jeez moaner, that narrows it down!! haha.

but anyway, yes Ric Shaw does have a number of fast drag cars from his workshop, but I think he is mainly into circuit.

:D nah.. i'm just refering to a guy that approached myself and wylie, at the shell just near that workshop... he proceeded to brag on about his car a little too much in a very condescending manner..... he said he worked at that workshop.. but not sure if its the same one!

Yeah, I've never used HITMAN myself, but a number of people I know have and all were happy with his service. Don't worry about waiting for the dyno mate, there is nothing wrong with a good road tune. Ask yourself: "where do I mostly drive?" on the road or on a dyno?

i have an r32 gts-4 i currently have a stoc computor but am getting a pfc soon.. do u know what hitman could do for me?

he could tune your PFC. I was happy with the guy.

Plenty of good tuners in sydney though, just read through this thread for peoples recomendations.

I had mine done yesterday at croydon.

Cost was $650 and he also tuned my boost controller.

A nice conservative tune with GREAT A/F ratios. I'm very happy.

Its only now I understand how imperative it is to spend a bit more on stuff like tuning. If its not done right, its going to cost big, in terms of rebuild costs. Im happier spending that 1-2 hundred more (which is really nothing in the big picture) and being content knowing that my car wont blow

ok lads,

just got back from a tuning session from Matt (hitman) top bloke..

went through a few things with me changed my plugs and stopped the misfiring i was getting.. fixed up a faulty wire on my boost controller,

and tuned for 13psi wich drops to about 10psi as the revs get up..

the computer used was Power FC of cause.. was tuned on a dyno...

and got 202.8rwKw and 192 on low boost from 9 psi drops to about 7.5 to 8 psi..

happy with the result, dn think was able to push over the 200mark but matt stated it was safe and nothing was maxing out..

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
