hi reflex,

i have recently done this, heres what i found. initial powerfc tune $350. then it may need readjustment from knocking or leaning out/running rich etc, should be free as its a retune or fix of previous tune. injectors to fit is about $250 as plenum has to come off. unsure about hiflow fitting. speak to ice performance for pricing gerald or nigel. www.iceperformance.com.au there in chentleham.

my first tune was at protek, they magically decided to run 0.90 bar and maxed out the fuel pump and then dropped the tune cos the fuel pump couldnt keep up, stocker unit. i never asked for boost to be turned up. the tune was left like that i had massive knock and it was running rich. was fixed by ice performance the 2nd time. id say ice performance

I think i will try to bolt the high flow on myself. Will it run on the standard ecu if I keep it on low boost (7psi) til I get the injectors and pfc fitted and tuned.

Creatd are more local to me but i dont mind driving. Has anyone had there car tuned by them?

So having injectors fitted and the Apexi PFC tuned im looking at about $600-650???

I have put off going the high-flow turbo for a while. Creatd seem to be the closest tuner for me. For a full tune $350 seems pretty resonable. My cars pretty stock, can i assume i will have 185-195rwkw after pfc tune with the following mods:

-stock turbo

-cai + pod filter

-3" exhaust from the turbo back

-upgraded fuel pump(not sure what one) & surge tank

-FMIC

-iridium plugs

-boost set at 12psi

Take it ICE i rang around for months before my good gear went into my car looking for a tune, nigel and gerald were most helpful and were straight up with me about what to expect power and cost wise. there also perfectionists is the job isnt right they just keep ticking away until its 100%.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
