i would'nt take my power fc to be tuned at Integra, purely because Ed admitts himself that he still has a bit to learn about them, and a couple of the guys tuning results hav'nt been to great just recently.

*shrug* you hear good and bad things about everyone... tuning is simply setting air/fuel ratios and timing, theres nothing overly complex about it in the end. He's confident with mine, seems to know all the ins and outs of it and I have -never- had a problem with his tuning, it has always been satisfactory. Hell last week we booked the dyno for a few hours, and only got it on for a few power runs, and running rich (safe) it made 323kw which im happy with.

The only reason I can think of people being not happy with his results is if he is setting them rich so dunces dont flog them in summer and then wonder why they go pop. But last time I checked Ed has popped 0 engines from power fc tuning, compared to at least 2 GTR's I know of that have gone bang due to poor tuning at another unnamed place in Canberra in the past 4 - 6 weeks.

You asked for opinion on who is the best in Canberra, I gave you mine. As far as I am concerned Ed has the most extensive knowledge of the power fc in Canberra. If you start comparing him to places like Croydon/Hills Motorsport/Advanced then its another story, but even then his results arnt far off what they can get, and he is getting better by the day.

:P

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
