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%.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
