yeh intersted in this also, Hyperdrive is a bit too out of the way for me :( and SST are no more :mad:

whereabouts is Cypher? who can do Dyno tuning?

Well i travelled from bunbury to use hyperdrive and there in house dyno, and believe the hassel worth while. Can you put a price on good advice and expirence

Not a fan of Cypher as have delt with them in the past (and wont be dealling with them in the future) as for dyno, last time they had to use 4mares(or something like that) as they didnt have in house dyno.

only my opinion

X-speed seemed pretty good but last time there they had no in house dyno either

:(

my opinions are from my expirences and dealing only

Cypher uses Formaz's dyno i believe..

X-Speed

Hyperdrive

Speedworks

C-Red

not neccesarily in that order, all are respectable workshops... just go down, have a chat and see whom you feel you would want working on your car..

True Dat bam..

having said that, having an inhouse dyno really helps with problem solving and you don't have to rely/book in to use someone elses.

Depends on what you want to do on the car and what specialist expertise is required..

Cheers

Hey Ken, i was after an exhaust and a service/tune at the same time. Is it cool to call you for this + advice ?

Im in the same boat. Live in Warnbro, work in freo. Malaga is basically a state away from me, but if the price and service is right i'll travel, just hard to find the time off work.

PS. what happened to SST?

Something about a 10 foot pole.........

I think the best way to answer that is to say that they have ceased trading and are no more. The make up of it's pretense are around at other places now.

Keep this thread on target guys or it will be closed very quickly.

When choosing a shop, be happy and content that what they tell you is feasable and possible, and that you know what will be happening to your car and where it will be, who will be driving it (if at all), are they insured, certified, qualified, experienced, and are they capable?

Do you get your phone calls returned? Does anyone take the time to explain the options? Are they interested in more than your money? What does the workshop look like? Is it well equipped, well laid out, clean, tidy, efficient?

Be realistic with your goals and you will be a happy chappy. Ultimately genuine advice comes from experience.

Beware of Imposters and Pretenders.

Supertec in bentley - scott and baz arent just good at what they do, they are also good blokes who want to help you out. if you are having trouble with something you can drop in for a quick chat about it. baz has come to my house after work to check out why my car wasnt starting...

best bet is to drop in rather than call, they dont like to answer the phone :(

I have dealt with no-one else but Hyperdrive since I bought the car 18 months ago and don't intend on dealing with anyone else. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, etc etc . All mods, tunes have been spot on and I have been more than happy with the results. They have always made time for me, and gotten me back on the road as quick as possible when I have broken down.

Its not to say that others are better or worse, its just to say that happy customers should be loyal to their workshop. Thanks Ken and Glenn.

my 2c.

My advice is to visit a shop and see if you get the service you expect.

Get a service and if you're happy then great - if not then you're only down a service.

Look at the sort of cars the shop turns out too - and the runs they have on the board.

As for having an in house dyno - some need it to diagnose problems - some dont - some cant even diagnose with one.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
